>>31958499Had a hunch after playing through XY and going through the honeymoon phase, naively thinking that GF would definitely improve come the next games. It wasn't until ORAS that I completely realized it and had almost given up hope on them making quality games again, especially after that interview Masuda did.
It's obvious that they don't care about making solid games with worthwhile content anymore. I mean you could already call the series a cashgrab before XY, but it wasn't until after that released that this series became the shining, quintessential example of one. The game design overall has become increasingly lazy, part of the reason why GF are making the games even easier are because they're too lazy to actually balance the game, they refuse to hire competent people in the industry, and now they're starting to bring more "story" into the games to give players the illusion that they games actually have something to them when they don't.
They've fallen into the loop of releasing lower quality, unpolished games with low amount of content every year or two, and players will continue to eat it up simply because it's Pokemon.
