>>38968465This whole fiasco is the prefect storm of a number of things.
1. Game Freak is incompetent. These are the retards that gave us an army of Lillies in SM. They had no business making a game on the switch and it shows. Textures ripped straight from the N64, Clipping out the ass, and multiple models for the same fucking thing.
2. Time. Pokemon is a yearly series now, in all likelihood because TPCI demands it. This leads to ridiculously short dev times. ORAS had 6 fucking months of dev time. Pokemon is the only Nintendo franchise to do this, they need to slow down the release schedule by a significant amount, a game every 3 years would be the absolute minimum I would suggest.
3. Manpower. Game Freak is tiny, like really fucking tiny for the types of games they produce. They have 150 some employees, and I would expect a AAA developer to have double this. To further complicate things they divide that number up even more, so it's more like 50 people. 50 people to make a AAA console game just doesn't fucking work, especially when those people are Game Freak.
