>>36169469It's not always, it's context dependent. In the case of Pokémon it used to be - before the 3DS.
The 3DS while not being crazy powerful was far beyond the other systems. There was no excuse for not returning all of the content and making it run well on the system even in things like Triple and Rotation with trainers on the field.
While I no longer wish to call them incompetent per se, as I now suspect this may not have been the first time Masuda pushed his bullshit through, just the first time he publicly admitted it, I do believe the rushing from Masuda with his bullshit quality loss is okay for yearly quantity logic saw them make a bunch of stupid mistakes.
Like not using models that were scaled down for the hardware. Using PS2 level graphics on a system meant to output 240p is absolutely the fault of the devs, no matter the reason.
Same goes for making the game do hundreds of encrypts/decrypts much of the time which would eat away at processing power and ultimately general performance and battery life of the system itself for no reason in the Gen 7 games.
