>>53775281Not only does GF hate the brand, that's been clear for over 10 years now, but every subsequent at establishing a new IP from themselves in recent years has backfired (Giga Wrecker, Drilldozer, Harmoknight, etc.). Even the ones which didn't get slated in reviews just didn't sell, they're trapped with Pokémon as their only source of income, which probably makes them even more salty. They seemed to straight up discard the XY upgrade to get Tembo out the door, and look what happened there. I sincerely believe that making shitty games for a franchise they no longer care for has made them worse at developing other games. Look at Pulseman and Drilldozer compared to Tembo and LTH, it parallels their declining Pokémon game quality over the same periods.
They don't want to make Pokémon anymore, but they can't give it up and they can't escape. Even worse, every seemingly negligent misstep generates more and more profit for them, almost like it's intentional. GF wants us to hate Pokémon just as much as they do, but I can only hate GF, because they took their frustrations out on an IP that could be so much better today if they didn't.
