>>39487582Making a game IS hard. Especially a huge scope RPG like Pokemon.
It's even harder when the higher ups telling you to make the game are retards that refuse to hire more employees to get the game done in the ridiculously small development window and instead make things WORSE by splitting off resources to work on a new IP.
And then those same executives throw your development team under the bus by going "Oh we're making a hugely unpopular decision clearly for corporate reasons but we're gonna say it's for 'quality.'"
Basically, fuck Masuda.

They did update the textures for all the Pokemon to be higher resolution and use thinner, cleaner lines though.
You can tell that from LGPE models/textures.
