>>38918881I think the illusion is finally cracking. Even some of the most dedicated Gamefreak apologists are struggling to make sense of it. Listen: they have no excuse. The switch can handle it. They’ve had the models rigged since XY and running/walking animations set up since USUM. They could put every Pokémon in the game if they wanted to. The excuse of “b-but game balance!” and “w-we ran out of time!” are just that. Excuses. The game developer for the largest media franchise in the world can’t get their shit together even when given a generous 3~ year development period to make a game that largely recycles preexisting assets. Gamefreak acts like a struggling indy developer facing unbearable crunch despite taking constant vacations and having a budget some AAA devs would kill for.
Gamefreak is irredeemable shit. Pokemon has no future under them. And this sentiment is becoming more and more common.
