Takeaways:
>Development and planning started in late 2016 but actual the actual coding and shit started in September 2017.
>SWSH's core development team was younger staff who hadn't led the development of Pokemon games before. They had a strong say in the way the game was shaped and are likely responsible for many of the game's shitty additions and design choices.
>Ohmori says they wanted to approach this game differently from older generations to "avoid any confusion and misunderstandings." What the fuck does this even mean?
>Ohmori was in charge and greenlit everything in the game meaning he's actually the one to blame and it's somehow not Masuda's fault for once.
