>>40545388Fuck knows bro. I've seen more games which have been delayed that have still turned out shit than games that have came out when they were expected to come out.
Most of which are admittedly indie games but the point still stands. Delaying games usually gets devs to lose track of their priorities and then they start tweeking shit that doesn't need to be tweeked, changing the core game to something in never was or should have been. Look at Cube World, look at Starbound, look at Chasm. Delayed for over 5 years each and they're all hot garbage, changed for the worst in every way.
Graphics are irrelevant in a pokemon game. It's not the focal point of the series and never has been. Nothing about Sword and Shield needs to be delayed, if the Pokemon that aren't in could be added then patch them in later or add them as free DLC, but if they can't (or won't) then they can't.
I fucking hate delays.
