>GameFreak doesn't have unlimited budget, and they have to squeeze these games out every year or two tops.It's not unlimited but it's fucking big, way fucking bigger than most studios who make way better games. And they don't have to, they choose to in order to make more money.
>That often is more detrimental to a game than helpful to it. Too many cooks.Outsource it, no need to train new team members cause they already know how to do shit. All they'd have to do us give them outlines on what they want and supervise.
>Can't when it is a huge multimedia franchise with anime, movies, TCG, merchandise, etc. all timed around the release of these games. They don't have the luxury of being able to arbitrarily delay things. They have to release at hard dates.Yeah you're right, they can't delay it at this point. But you know what they could do? Plan better so they're not stuck making shit rushed games to make sure other extensions of the franchise are getting their shit out alongside them. Fill the time in between mainline games with spinoffs nade by other developers. That way you can still make merch. The anime can take breaks in between Gens.
>but I saw some clouds repeating in the clearly unfinished skybox half a year before releaseIf you honestly think this game is going to look any better 5 months from now, you're delusional.
No one is tired of people complaining other than people like you who can't fathom the idea of Pokemon games being criticized. It's not entitled to want a product we have to pay for to be good, especially since it's going to be costing 20$ more now. It is entitled thinking GameFreak deserves our money and nothing negative said about them because they made a game.
