I was willing to give them slack during XY, it was their first venture on 3D so it "made sense" that all the development time went to making those ridiculously future proof models. Plus, their inexperience with 3D overall.
ORAS was more of the same. A little better mechanically but that's about it.
SM was when they were supposed to have gotten their shit straight, but they didn't, and in fact, it is arguably worse than Gen 6 games in many aspects, not just mechanically, but as a game overall like the goddamned FPS drops whenever there's more than 2 models on the screen at the same time.
When I went from Gen 4 to Gen 5 on the same console it felt like a brand new thing and an advancement.
When I went from Gen 6 to Gen 7 on the same console it felt exactly the damn same or perhaps worse. I felt regression.
Fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice, shame on me, fool me thrice, fuck you and fuck me I deserve to fucking kill myself.
>>31965953It really amazes me how in 20 fucking years Gamefreak has not learned how to code and has not hired goo programmers. How can a company be so woefully incompetent is beyond me.
