>>42470525Ishihara said that they didn't believe the Switch was going to be financially successful at first, but then he announced in June 2017 that GF would develop a core RPG on the Switch. SWSH were apparently in development before that, so who the hell knows.
In any case, it is obvious as all hell that the LGPE and SWSH teams were completely isolated from one another, as the features present in LGPE did not return for SWSH.
