>>20476624Game Freak are pretty bad in terms of making a functional game compared to some other studios, especially considering the Dragon Quest Monster series on 3DS manage to put more monsters on the screen, with better looking models, with having over 800 of them in a fully 3D overworld, and still running above and beyond what Game Freak do.
Don't get me wrong, I love Pokemon, but when Iwata has to come in and fix Gold and Silver, (which also let him add a shitton more space for Kanto as well) you know you have a problem.
Mind you, Iwata is a genius programmer.
