What a fucking disaster, I know game freak has always been kind of shit but holy shit this is the biggest blunder game freak has ever launched and I've literally played every fucking game since red and blue and those games were a hot steaming pile of shit when it came to bugs
I just can't even
A switch cart is 32gb a 3ds cart is 8gb. They use the same fucking models yet the 3ds games have over 800 Pokemon and the switch game has only 400

How much more space does a fucking model take up if it has more vertexes? In sword and shield they use the exact same models as the 3ds games but with a higher poly count
The same future proofed models from several years ago
And the same animations.
I don't know how to explain this other than Iwata played a pivotal role in Game Freak not being shit

I miss you Iwata-sama
