>>44365667>Which one was the azure flute?The azure flute was implemented though. It's unuded, that's entirely different.
>If the plan were to import the data first and then work it then pokemon data would be in the game.Do you not understand how stubbing works?
>Also, as stated multiple times in this thread, if the plan were to work around time constraints through DLC then there was no need for the new policy to be the way it ended up being.Not sure what you mean, care to point it out?
>Such as? Its unrelated to the discussion but I'm curious.Check out the leaked GS source, there's at least one comment relating to Crystal. It's been a while since then so I can't remember the exact files, and I also can't recall if it's been seen in any of the other leaked stuff for Gen 3/4, but I wouldn't be surprised. DP is about as unfinished as SS in a lot of ways, it seems.
>SWSH doesn't require NO to play online.Really? I'm a pirate who hasn't pirated SS yet, so even if I did the only way I could play online is with some LAN fuckery. Is that what you mean?
>>44365675Arguably, the budgets for the game are the only thing I'm not super confident in. They could be tiny or huge, and either way I wouldn't be surprised because Game Freak looks like the company that could make a terrible game with both. Hell, Gen 1 took like 5 years to make and it's a goddamn mess, so even giving GF more time might not help, although that's why Masuda practically took over the series during Gen 2 in the first place so what do I know.
