>>40525181In one of the game Informer interviews, they essentially said that cutting pokemon was necessary to make the games feel more polished and like a more complete experience.
And given that 200-ish people had to crank this game out in just 3 years, I believe them.
>But you could just hire more people!!>Gamefreak has a whole bunch of money, right?? It should be easy!It's not that simple. It's already been established that Gamefreak doesn't see most of the revenue made by the franchise at all, but of course you dexfags always like to ignore this.
>3 years is plenty of time for a tiny 200ish-person team to get nearly 1000 unique character models (not including NPCs, forms, regional variants, etc.) all polished and functional!If you honestly think this, you're beyond retarded and you should off yourself.
