>>56109609Every single japanese studio is better at coding than GameFreak. Monolith Soft are some of the best at optimizing for underpowered Nintendo hardware, and they're not even a first party Nintendo team. Capcom generally has well performing games. Bandai Namco and Sakurai got Smash Bros running at 1080p 60fps. Nintendo's internal studios are all great at optimizing, being some of the only ones to also get games running at high resolution and FPS on the Switch. Gamefreak are the odd ones out, and they always have been. They suck at 3D development, they suck at HD development. They never got their bearings after the DS. Even back then they were lagging behind their peers. They're not very good. Western studios on average are also doing HORRIBLE jobs at optimizing their games these days. Find me a western studio that would release game like ToTK that has virtually zero bugs in it on release, it just wouldn't happen.
