>>41219625>You realize most of them are part of Game Freak now right?It's more about management and direction than just the employees that work there. Manabu Yamana (known for his work on the DQ Series) was the one at the helm of directing Colosseum and XD Gale of Darkness and from that we got games that brought out as much potential from Gen 3's battle mechanics as they possibly could. Not to mention the games run at 60fps and the animations on the newer models are incredibly expressive. By working for Game Freak, they now have to deal with their shitty management, shitty direction, time constraints, silly demands and end-of-the-month quotas in order to release a game right on time for Black Friday or Christmas (just like SwSh). People need to understand that it's not just Pokemon that's like this now, the gaming industry has changed and its been getting worse since the recession of 2007-08. That's why the omnipresent spritefags are such retards because they think that Game Freak will suddenly give a shit if they start going full 2D instead of realizing that they just don't give a shit about Pokemon anymore
