>“There are two different production teams here, simply named Production Team 1 and Production Team 2,” Onoue explained. “Team 1 is fully dedicated to Gear Project, while Team 2 is for the Pokémon operation."
>“What that means is that Game Freak as a company is prioritising Gear Project, which is production team number one, more than Pokémon in general. We are always trying to create something that is equally exciting, or more exciting than Pokémon.
>“There is a lot of back-and-forth between Team 1 and Team 2,” he added. “One of the interesting things is that Team 2, which is dedicated to Pokémon, only knows about specific platforms."
This was slightly more than 1 year ago. GF announced their "main" team was working on a non pokemon game while they let their side team work on it. We now know the non pokemon game the main team was working on was allegedly Little Town Hero, while the side team worked on SwSh, this would explain the shitshow it was. What we don't know is if this project gear is still ongoing, is GF's main team still working on other games or did it go back to pokemon schedule after Town? The project gear is supposed to make the main team learn and expand their skills and creativity, will this actually make future games better?
