>>40193169Because you want to do it right?
I fully expect my first games would take 5 - 7 years minimum if I were to actually do them.
Just redoing the stats of 225 of them has taken me nearly 500 hours of work due to needing to cross reference every game and all similar Pokémon while also considering all evolution standards (and therefore locations/locations of items) for everything.
Only a moron thinks it's easy like you do. That's why most of us complaining who actually do know want an indefinite delay until they are content complete.
There's really no excuse for them not having their own engine to start with which would make rushing games out much easier. And that's what I would be starting with.
If I ever secure enough funding to do mine you can bet my goal isn't to make a fan game, it's to take Game Freak out of the equation. I'm going straight to TPC with a complete pair of games and an engine ready to roll to make future ones come faster without sacrificing quality or content.
