>>58423488>yet ANOTHER thread harping on about how the dudes who "directed" a 1-year ROM hack full of small tweak for RS, DP, BW, and SM should spearhead the full 3-4 development time that it normally takes for the base versions>pointing out the obvious that the 3rd versions are better in every wayBecause OF FUCKING COURSE the base version of a game with more content sprinkled onto it and shiny new cover art would be better, you fucking imbeciles.
The only ones getting passes here are Morimoto and Iwao for PLA, but even then Morimoto didn't have to design a game from scratch/the bottom up because GSC already exists and all he has to do is tell the art and graphics division to make new assets for the DP engine and tell the code monkeys to map every trainer and their team of mons word-for-word from GSC to HGSS's overworld.
That leaves Iwao who didn't get enough time for his game to fully bake, but he still managed to give us the most fun and freshest Pokemon game experience in years because he understands the original, core appeal of the franchise as a whole.
