>>53836866>that would have been a better game, right?Okay, except here's the thing:Nintendo has multiple teams which can rotate which games they work on, so that they don't get burnout on the same game over and over and over again.
Gamefreak does not. This is WHY the debacle over Little Town Hero happened.
They are attempting annual releases, on a triple A scale, with only one team doing it. This is a feat that took Infinity Ward, Sledgehammer, and Treyarch working together to properly achieve with any amount of polish, companies which, may I remind you, the latter two being bigger than Gamefreak.
>Are you seriously calling localization teams and Creatures Inc. "outsourcing to 12 different companies"?Okay, ignoring Creatures Inc, and TCPI who handles ALL of the localization... that's still 10 different companies who have to deal with it.
Now in fairness, some of these companies are actually dealing with spinoffs and not the mainline, something I should've paid more attention to before I made my claim. Cutting them out, that reduces it to 4 companies.
They're still outsourcing parts of the game development, and that's a problem.
Gamefreak's just an incompetent company, PERIOD.
