>>47311561Yeah, one's pitching at the core audience, one's a proof-of-theory game aimed to shill Nintendo consoles in the new year. When they turn around and revert to promoting the series at children on Pokémon day with the announcement of a new Gen, what you going to do then? It's over, the series has passed you by and assuming they're suddenly coming back to pick you up again's fucking stupid, they already told the dexit manchildren what they though of their crying.
>>47311593Where to start?
Masuda's management now, so yes, he was able to be spared to go to ILCA and oversee them remaking DP ibn the LGPE engine. I'm afraid you fail to realise the point of remakes using the then-current Gen engines - re-using engines cuts down roduction costs massively and neither GF or ILCA were given budget to wildly modify the LGPE base.
Meanwhile GF have taken the engine as it was from CT and evolved it further into Legends and used the knowledge they gleaned from that to inform Gen IX's world design, which co-incidentally would have been starting up as the finalisation of Legends' world was happening.
Unlike you child, they understand they have to keep production going, so they don't stop.
