Is gamefreak the least competent developer for Nintendo?

Bingo.

I microwave steaks.
I'm no pokefreak and I can agree, these sentiments about how gamefreak is incompetent seems like a gross overreaction because preconceived expectations were not met.

they lack experience in 3d, they are lazy and they love to milk their games alot, they used to care about quality but not anymore since they'll sell just fine.
the Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are aimed to be better and complete versions of games that came out less than a year ago, It's like they rushed S&M to make you pay again later for a compelte experience not to mention seperating them into dual versions, this is an insult imo.

I mean chances are that Ultra SuMo are sequels rather than definitive versions like B2W2 but sure okay.
Joe I love you but that's not my argument at all. It's just one piece of it, and it's what got me incensed enough to make this thread. I've had these thoughts for years and I think my points are valid.

Ah, what one might call the "Marvel vs. Capcom 3" scenario.
Granted, hundreds of hours of Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 later and I love the game, but I remember being as angry as everyone else when I bought MVC3 at launch only to find out about 5 months later that Ultimate MVC3 was on the way with a bigger roster, more stages and more tracks.

You're thinking of Pokémon itself. Not Game Freak. Who also makes games for mobile, PS, Xbox, PC.

from the description in their official site, it doesn't sound like one.
They'd also have to buy out Creatures. And while Game Freak may be too conservative for their own good, they know how to do combat that has maintained a dedicated competitive scene for years. While EPD could probably do better in every other regard, I'm not sure if they could do the staple combat system right (I'm not saying that EPD can't, just that I'm not sure).
Lol wut.
People gave them a pass as they were obviously 'future-proofing' the game for an easy port. But if a port was never planned... then what the fuck were they doing with the lack of optimisation, too-high-poly models and lack of second screen features?
It makes no sense at all.
Lol, wonder how neoxon got his junior tag? I'll bet it wasn't for being meticulous and reading the entire posts he was about to respond to before getting that clean first reply in lol.
Thank you
If you must know, it was because of an NX thread that I jumped the gun on.
Oh come on. They've been doing this exact same song & dance for over 20 years. Now is when you draw the line? Not back in 1998, 2000, 2004 etc?
I mean, that's a terrible decision to keep it in the game. Why don't they keep the higher poly models and use lower count ones in the actual game so it can run better?
So, not being meticulous before you post. Like I said.
Please edit your first reply where it is clear you didn't read my thread title. It was innacurate since I used the word "for".

This is nothing, the actual thread hurts a lot.

I don't remember being particularly outraged by Pokemon games. Yeah, they're basically the same game every time, and the 3D performance is a problem, but they remain fun RPGs to play with friends, so I can accept that.
That's not what you meant & you know it. The topic ended up getting folded into another thread.
I added more context to the post, but that's it.
No, people thought they were future-proofing for next gen software, which given that there's been close to no changes between the models between X/Y and SuMo, it's pretty safe to assume that the models currently used will be used on the Switch's software when it does inevitably release there
3ds is current hardware
Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on you, fool me thrice, shame on you. Etc.
Either way that doesn't negate that GF could probably do with modernising a bit.

Did you think the E3 Hype Train was really powered by hopes and dreams?
"New additions to the story and features of Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon!" It can be a retelling or a sequel to the Ultra Beast/Island challenge storyline.
Fine, I'll edit mine if you fix the innacuracies in yours. Not only did my thread title say "for" but in the body of the text in the first paragraph I used the phrase
"working with or for Nintendo"
I used it intentionally to avoid dumb irrelevant replies like yours. And if you didn't know, not reading the OP is considered banable by some mods. Please get over yourself, your first reply added nothing of value to the thread and your edit barely added anything.
Bingo. The high polygon count is a complete waste of processing power.
I'm pretty sure there are algorithms that can simplify models for you with good results, doing that then performing a once over by human eyes shouldn't be a resource-heavy process.
You do know they can use them models for the next Pokemon Games which are probably gonna be on Switch or a HD Handheld, right?
Yeah I do jump the gun at times lol.

The takes are scorching hot today.
Hell no GF is not incompetent. Goodness. Pokémon games are meticulously crafted, however flawed any individual entry or single generation may be. But call them incompetent because their games have jaggies, I guess.

i know that they have doing that since forever but that doesn't mean they didn't care about quality , they cared, their vanila games were full and complete unlike now and i never like to support these kinds of practices anyway, not in this day and age of updates and dlcs.

Except that GF doesn't release games starting at $60 with Day 1 DLCs and season passes for an additional cost, just a $40 game with inconsistencies of delivering quality post-game content.

"I want everything on Switch because it looks nicer"
It's all the rage with the kids right now.
Come on, they literally have EA in the name.
Stop denying. The truf is out there.

They could do better but they could do a lot worse. They're pumping out warmly-received million-sellers on a reliable basis which that gives them a lot of stock. They're a lot better than say Nd Cube or Arzest.
Oh yeah, I loved that game. A shame that it didn't get hyped up as much.Yeah, you don't know what you're talking about

Because people didnt get a new shiny toy for their switch.
That, and Game Freak management has been philosophically opposed to making a mainline Pokemon game for a home console since the beginning, which is why it's been 20 years and you still haven't seen one. The game was designed with kids going out and playing it with friends in mind.
If they could disable TV mode for a Switch Pokemon, they probably would.
Yeah, you don't know what you're talking about
How long ago was drill dozer?
Harmoknight is only a decent rhythm game that has very little in terms of variety, Pocket Card was well received but technically very simplistic, and I've never heard good things about their two Steam/multiplat titles.
Arzest is a pretty low bar to clear.
Mainly due to the strength of the franchise & its core gameplay. I wonder what would happen if Game Freak did the turn-based combat & EPD did everything else?
