1. Money means jack shit if you're understaffed

2. That money is split between Game Freak and Nintendo, and only a very small part from it comes the actual games; the rest is from the anime, toys, etc.

Why the fuck would you want something like Breath of the Wild anyway? Do people still really want an open world game?
Do people not understand how fucking awful that would be?

It doesn't necessarily have to be open air continuous map, but seeing the Pokemon in the overworld like enmies/animals in BotW, and being able to do just about anything in any order like in BotW would make Pokemon better if GameFreak weren't developing it.

Game Freak pretends to be understaffed even though they have 120+ employees at any given time.
They're just lazy. If Monolith Soft can create Xenoblade 2 with only 40 employees, Gay Freak could make an ambitious Pokemon with more than double the workers, but they won't, cause Pokemon will sell tens of millions anyway.

people want a pokemon game where you can do anything in any order. It doesn't have to be open world, there just has to be some sort of scaling system in play to allow this to happen.

You can go do any one of eight badges, have a story plot dump and then move onto more of the same.

The tech is there, but I'm worried the talent isn't.

It's not that they want that. They just don't want vast, sprawling worlds of nothing with interesting landmarks few and far between. Worlds that are huge and are just padding.

There is very little "dead" space in BOTW. It's the sort of game that's actually pretty difficult to stay on-task for, on account of all of the stuff in any given direction.
Granted, not all of that stuff is "designated gameplay area", but then that's kind of the appeal.

Does anyone remember how in the first 2 gens, a good chunk of the later gyms could be swapped in order, only re-railroading you for gym 8?
And how this created either notoriously hard gyms if done early (sabrina) or utterly dissapointing gyms if done last (pryce) because they didn't level scale?

And the lesson GF learned was to railroad all gyms, rather than actually level scale.
Good times

Tbf, level scaling is the wrong term. What I actually want is gym leaders teams to change based on the number of badged you already have.

Everything in the game levelling with you kinda kills part of the point of levels

Only in story and lets be honest, links awakening was more text heavy than pokemon red and blue anyways.
The problem is that story games provide little freedom but a well placed narrative (the closest is black and white 2) gives you a reason to catch Pokemon.
Genonsees as myself like narrative focusses games like ffvii but pokemon was my first game on game boy

Doesn't matters if he continues releasing his game if nobody cares. The steam page for that game is a zombie, shrinemaiden barely gets any traffic, pooshlmer is dead and tumblr isn't posting any fanart.
