>>45430307No, it has to do with Nintendo intentionally gimping their handhelds to continue to keep them price-friendly to not have parents kick a fuss up over the cost of Pokémon. Fuck, they tried selling the 3DS at launch for $250, till people went apeshit, because they were trying to turn a profit on a batch of outdated chips they just didn't want to write off as a loss, for fuck's sake. Notice even though a Switch is $300, the kid-friendly handheld-only version's still only $200 (again, because they knew better than charging more than that for Pokémon).
If Game Freak had gotten better hardware sooner, they'd be better at making their games look prettier to your eyes. As it is, you're raging at the wrong machine, because you're also pissed off they dropped you for their traditional target audience after you grew up.
