>>16901384You do know they're phenomenally shitty programmers, right?
RBY was rushed out so it had an excuse. GSC they legitimately couldn't get to run without Nintendo reprogramming the game for them. And compressing it because Johto alone was too big a filesize.
R/S are obvious.
D/P had massive framerate issues as well as several bad egg / freezing bugs that fucked over saves, incredibly long save times because GF didn't know any better, and the Mystery Zone shit that led to GameFreak panicking to the point they refused to hand out the event items for that gen.
>>16901434The problem is that they actually do put in effort. X/Y alone had 500 people working on it for 3.5 years.
It's still not enough, and they intentionally hold features back just to sell the game to us a second time around.
