Game Freak doesn't really have to be "accountable" in that regard because if you're old enough to complain about precedents, you're too old to be playing the games (and should know how Game Freak operates by now). Remakes being deliberate callbacks slide because hey, they are new games to the contemporary child player right? Leave the details only the old players would really appreciate to Morimoto on the battle side.
I do wonder if an Iwata Asks style interview would have shed any details, because it does seem like ORAS was a quick project no one really wanted to do. At least we got nothing to the effect of Masuda and Tajiri wanting to do FRLG and Morimoto making HGSS his baby with all the minutia. Of course they're all easy cash grabs, not to romanticize that too much, but I did notice.
>>40123556>The types of players who were never going to play the Frontier in 2005 now have even less reason to play the mode they were never going to playGiven how quickly we hold Game Freak to know everything and nothing at the same time, I always wondered if they already knew the Frontier was for the 10% ultracore or if it was genuine experiment on their part.
>>40123673Hoennbabies didn't ask for ORAS for as it and you know it, that's just disingenuous.
