>>39093279I'd love to see an internal view of Gamefreak from when gen 1 launched to present day. It's clear that they haven't handled that transition from sprite-based to 3D well, but was it a case of prideful ignorance, a desire to please Nintendo or a cost factor? I wonder, GF said they didn't have the staff and resources to make over 900 fully animated 3d pokemon models by winter 2019, would Nintendo pull the franchise from them after gen 8 and make their own team? It seems like GF were only capable up to gen 5 and once the game design had to shift they realized that nobody working there actually had the skills or experience developing a 3D game, just 2D sprite games.
