    Why another game so soon?

    Fuck me they never learn. Pokemon is a huge game. It needs a long development time to be good.

    Can't wait when it turns out rushed and everyone blames the workers for not being able to give detailed character models to hundreds of playable monsters.

    But we gotta keep those investors happy I guess and shit out a new game every year to show their investment is paying off and coinciding with merch sales.

    Fucking capitalism

    I wonder to what extent re-using code from Arceus will let them crank this out so fast without losing significant quality.

      to be fair swsh is also on the switch. possibly a mix of the two if they want to make it less like the spinoff they just released

    damn that is shocking. like it, though i am feeling more and more depressed at routes seemingly being a thing of the past. SWSH essentially did away with any creativity to them, and legends is open world with zones.

    I think proper route design makes the adventure feel more like a journey and fleshed out world
