>>45566194The actual reason is that SS was Game Freak's second full-fledged 3D HD game. They need to learn to do this and feel confident in their work. Small wonder they played it safe - they did the same with the GBA entries after all. But just like VII looked better than VI when GF had a bit of time to work with the 3DS, their next games will take what they learned up to this point and expand on it, like every other studio and developer does, the more experience they gain in a particular medium.
Or did you all forget Game Freak are 2nd Party developers with a exclusive IP deal, thus will only develop that exclusive IP for hardware made by their publishers and their publishers hadn't really been trying to keep their 2nd Party studios on the cutting edge?
