#but nah nintendo wanted diamond and pearl remakes so who cares about platinum?

[lemoneychicken]

while i am excited for the new pokemon game it makes me deeply uncomfortable that its coming out so close to legends’ release, and it makes me all the angrier about how the sinnoh remakes were handled

this means while bdsp and legends were being worked on, sv was also being worked on. game freak had to split its attention between two games made to blow us away, which could put some incredible pressure on the developers. this also means nintendo intended from the start for bdsp to be worked on by someone else so they could have game freak work on these two games

and like. the remakes fucking suck. the controls are weird and jank, the pokemons follow animations look bad, the underground lost the core reason people enjoyed it. issues that wouldnt have happened if game freak was able to handle them. nintendo opted to have long anticipated remakes get handled by someone who didnt understand why people enjoyed sinnoh in the first place so they could push game freak to make other new titles, giving us three pokemon games in the span of a year

anyways

game freak should unionize
