>>54085659>they are still 3 generations behind in the development of gamesBecause they've been held back by Nintendo, who are happy to fund them making kids' games for cheap hardware. The Game Boy's Lazarus-like revival due to pokémon un-ironically killed any hope Game Freak had at being on-trend, because the GBA sucessor, a Super Nintendo in portable form didn't arrive in 1997/1998 when it would have been relevant, but in 2001, as the Playstation tore the world a new one. It took Pokémon again to save its sales and make it not completely a failure but the result was instead of leaping to DS after 6 years of GBA sales, they binned it for DS, while simultaneously pushing their hardware that particular Generation at non-gaming normalfags with Pokémon again being the kiddy system seller (Lite update by time it launched, codifying the recent "kid friendly hardware revision in the 6 weeks before Pokémon's new system debut").
It's only when Nintendo realised they HAD to kill the handheld department did they merge handheld and home console into one system, so it was only when Nintendo HAD to poz Game Freak with modern gaming did they make the jump. But you fucks can't understand Pokémon only does what Nintendo want it to and do it the way Tajiri designed it to boot. So that's selling kids on the brand with games that donn't have to meet adult internet gaymer standards. Because they were never a concern in the primordial pre-Pokémon universe and clearly not worth enough to be picked up in the post-Pokémon world.
Sorry they don't care about your fee-fees when making the games, but claiming they don't put effort in because they don't care smacks of bitterness. They put effort in ensuring the kids of today are going to get invested in their shit, just like they ignored my wishes through the years to put effort into making sure you lot all swallowed the kool-aid.
