tl;dr for the entire thread, after this, I'm out.
>Sword and Shield had a slower/shorter dev time due to the dumbfuck higher ups saying "Switch is gonna fail" and focusing on mobile games
>Pokemon importing is mostly true as to why over half the dex got on the chopping block, but only the models were salvaged.
>Morale stuff is true, Iwata's death was a catalyst
>Let's Go was made as an attempt to hold off players for something bigger
>Unconfirmed, ORAS may have played into morale, Town was not (some playtesters for Pokemon straight up didn't know there was a second game by Game Freak being made)
>TPCi is killing the franchise because of looking at trends and thinking this is a good idea going forward
I know nothing about Gen 4 remakes, other Pokemon Projects, nor any other projects GF or TPCi may be working on.
and yes, Slowpoke is my favorite Pokemon. And yes I'm angry about its removal.
