Picture this: you are a business creating software for the general public, what are your priorities? the time consuming animations for each pokemon times each move. or the overworld, game features, basic barebones shit that needs to get done. you want to ship this game FAST to increase your operating margins and profits. what do you do? Do you really spend extra cash on something that probably wont move many copies. Look at it objectively.
