I genuinely don't understand normalfags.
I get it being your comfort franchise
I get it because your world since you were a kid
But don't you want.. more?
We've seen what GameFreak can produce with an actual budget behind them, the entire reason Pokemon is in such a state is because game budgets are ridiculously low.Double or even triple the budget and they're still make a huge profit. Jesus christ.Fun fact: They could have sold Scarlet and Violet for $20 and it would have made budget back tenfold.

Game Freak have truly outdone themselves with this entry into the franchise. I just can’t believe how alive and fully realised the world feels. Finally, their years of world building have come together to create the perfect Pokemon Project. Exploring those beautiful vistas we always imagined as children with our Pokemon, every building bustling with NPCs, the architecture unique, with every nook and cranny feeling lived in. Wow, my friends. Game Freak have created with the Pokemon IP (the biggest franchise in the world at this point) a truly perfect video game. Just WOW!

For the millionth time, pokemon appeal is the trainers and monsters so obviously the budget is mostly spent there and only very very little is used for the engine and world building.

When your entire city is a single model that is always being rendered, you need to settle for N64 tier polygon budgets.
It's amazing how they just gave up on streaming, and their culling for props seems to be broken too. They just don't care anymore.

It's very strange that they put in scenes with good animations, background music, and lip syncing, but left out voice acting.
There are those who are saying that Gamefreak doesn't care anymore, but there are elements of high effort that can be found strewn around the game. I wonder if they were trying to experiment with new ideas but then just ran out of time?

>Gamefreak not even trying again
Am I supposed to be surprised? All their games have been pretty low effort, because the audience is guaranteed to buy it.
At least Legends actually tries to do something different with the formula, but the problem here is still Gamefreak are aware that they don't need to try very hard and will sell gangbusters anyway.

People are still saying this is Game freak. There is no Game freak anymore. It is almost 100% Nintendo now. Nintendo owns Pokemon, Nintendo owns TPC, and Nintendo owns Game freak. They set the budget for the games, they approve all of the newconcepts, they choose the staff, they pick which pokemon are in the game.This game supposedly has a 13 million budget. GF has ~200 employees, including non development staff. Let's say 80 worked in this game, since Pokemon is the biggest gaming franchise on the fucking planet, and pay them the average shitty 30k salary that japa gets. That means this game was in development for 4 years.
