Apparently SM was such a fuckup, they had to cancel Mega X and Mega Y to get it finished. They were making the island trials during the debugging phase, that shit is not normal. Say what you will about Masuda as a director, but most of the time the games he directed didn't end up like fucking that. Ohmori is arguably at fault for most of the problems with Game Freak in 3D I think. Like, XY was a little shitty, but it wasn't even Masuda's worst game (that would be one of the Sinnoh games he did, take your pick), and in comparison to a lot of Ohmori's other work XY is a fucking masterpiece. It's fucking baffling how every Pokemon game he didn't direct was so much better, and while you could argue about them using already existing assets, in Legend's case the only argument you could make is that it's using an early version of SV's engine and still runs better than the final game.
>>54194247Honestly, that's not even the worst copy-paste job from BW, that would be the dialogue in the Battle Maison being exactly the same in Japanese. I believe they at least re-translated it in other languages, since BW's translation is notoriously stiff. Same people doing the same shit 2 years later is less jarring than people in an entirely different country saying the same shit without even the excuse of "we literally copypasted an area from a different game" lik ORAS has.
