>>34218825USUM wasn't bad because Pokemon Switch is being made, it was bad because the B-Team had to rush it to meet a Yearly Deadline and Kimishima was wanting them to hurry it up so they can say goodbye to the 3DS.
SM, on the other hand, was bad because the A-Team was juggling between developing it and Pokemon Switch while also having to sputter it out for the 20th Anniversary Deadline.
And now Kimishima's pushing for Pokemon Switch to release in 2018, which means it'll likely be another rushed piece of shit, except it performs worse than USUM on an O3DS.
