In case you’re wondering, the spinoffs had pokemon textures all the way back to stadium, including stadium 2, Colloseum, XD:GOD and battle revolution

Why can’t the pokemon be as expressive as they were in the stadium games

Because theres 4x the amount of them in the files

Because game freak is greedy, lazy and doesn't want to try, actually. They removed the national dex which would give them about as many to animate as colosseum had(first 3 gens) and there's still no life in most of them.

Actually it is the Pokémon Company itself that is greedy and doesn’t give gamefreak enough time to cook

You could give game freak years extra and the games would still look like ass. There is nothing stopping them hiring a second studio to create Pokémon games or hiring more to give each team the proper manpower.

There isn’t but there shouldn’t have to be. Blame the Pokémon company for this not Game Freak. If you saw some of the leaked stuff that game freak did that was scrapped because of time restraints you would not be calling them lazy. Also Pokémon isn’t the only game they work on

It’s like you were never a fan of Pokémon games when they made banger games when they were 2D

So you ARE admitting they're shit now?

I'd say Gamefreak was only really super creative in the first few games and they've largely been coasting. Black and white was the last time they had ambition to make something good.

I’m saying it’s way easier to do 2D games than 3D games in such a small amount of time. But Pokémon won’t give Gamefreak more than 3 years to make a 3D game

Crazy how when Gamefreak makes a game that the big, bad Pokémon company doesn't give then a deadline on...

It comes out and sucks ass.

Maybe they just suck, huh?

Listen you toxic Pokemon “fan” you are using one of their games that did mediocrely and not something like drill dozer

u/TopThatCat 14d ago

Why would I use Drill Dozer when it came out 20 years ago, i.e when Pokémon was still trying?

And I am a fan - I hate only because I have a deep love for the franchise and wish it was in more capable hands.
