>>40525525Game Freak's version of streamlining is lazy because they don't even know what they're doing.
Look no further than Trash Go to learn how incompetent they are.
FYI, I have streamlined a game. You literally cannot open it without seeing two of my changes upon loading into the game and doing the RPG basics will see you encounter several more in short order. Not to mention written, composed, level designed, and tested releases and even full games for the better part of a decade.
I am a good dev because I am a player who cares about players first. without players, especially the hardcore players you don't have money coming in and you do not gain consumer trust by spitting in their faces and telling them it's raining or endless pandering to casuals (though you can do the latter, it just needs to be done without impacting the more hardcore, at least via options - another thing Game Freak refuses to do because muh smartphones).
You are literally defending them making the game lesser with nothing in exchange. How many times do they have to tell you the games will be the same cutscene filled time wasting contentless trash Gen 7 was - now with less Pokémon! - before you get it through your skull?
