>>38914723Having no precedent isn't an indication of impossibility.
That being said, GF has always been incompetent when it comes to new hardware.
>Gen3Couldn't figure out how to transfer DVs into IVs, or the change to EVs, or the basic hex structure. (What's extra sad is that they JUST figured how to do that shit with the Virtual Console versions and Bank.)
>Gen4S l o w... They just figured out how to program for the DS by BW2.
>Gen6/7They don't get how to patch the 3DS games, not to mention the whole of XY's terrible optimization. So model changes come in later games and only critical code errors get fixed.
Here with Gen8 we have crunch time and they haven't finished the nonregional mons' animations, new move lists, higher res textures, etc. So they decide to "region lock" these vis a vis Home.
It's not malice. It's not laziness. It's just not knowing how to program for the Switch.
