regardless, it's HUGE and sells millions of copies with each iteration. GameFreak being "small" is not a valid excuse when they're selling millions of copies of Pokémon lol

CONFIRMED: Pokémon Sword/Shield Dropped GTS; Contains Multiplayer Code From Let's Go
- Thread starter Caz
- Start date
Man even then I'm not mad at Masuda. Get mad at TPC upper brass who probably told Masuda he and his team had to be done by a certain date.
Like don't get mad at Gamefreak. Get mad at TPC for not giving GF the time they needed to create a fully realized product.
Now if say the team got an extra year and shit was still a mess then you can fault the core dev team.
holy crap could you imagine if ND took these kinds of short cuts on TLOU2?
Or Insomniac on spiderman?
Or if Monster Hunter World's massive console debut looked like the PSP games and had a ton of cut content?
I mean... Monster Hunter World did have a ton of cut content.
The problem with Sword and Shield is that we're not seeing benefits for the cut content.
I used #ThankYouGameFreak in a sarcastic manner yet I got warned for that. Why dont all these folks who say fuck bioware and bethesda get these warnings too.
I swear pokemon is put on a pedestal here.

We don't know how the dynamics work in the pokemon company and gamefreak. We don't know if Masuda is able to push for a delay, or if his higher ups set the deadline and it's set in stone...
This screams of mismanagement.
Why is it always some vague, anonymous boogeyman in TPCi that's to blame? How do we know Gamefreak itself isn't mismanaged? We legit know almost nothing about the relationship between them and TPCi and NIntendo, yet we assume it's everyone, but the studio heads because reasons. I'm not saying it is them, but where did this whole reasoning that TPCi doesn't give them a big enough budget, or overextends them, or doesn't give them enough time, etc
In the interviews we have, the idea for certain games or certain changes within games always seems to come from them. I've never gotten these sense it's pushed on them. Granted they might not say that if that was the case, but I always find it hard that's the assumption without us ever so much as getting a hint or rumor or anonymous scoop that that's the case

that's it precisely
MH world looks so much better and improved in so many ways that the cut content was warranted and even forgiven
and now they're releasing content here and there filling it out.
Very odd, dismissive and almost sarcastic response to my rather thoughtful post explaining the malcontent but ok.
Its not just Pokemon. I feel like Nintendo is worshipped a bit much on this site. I guess it makes sense.
If only Bioware hate got half as much attention from mods.
They used to be fine with previewing the next gen by teasing new Pokemon even before the games though. The overall marketing machine really isn't that tied up by the games.
I really think the annual releases might be mostly a GameFreak decision - especially when you consider how the remakes and enhanced versions don't receive nearly as much marketing focus as the new generation proper outside of the games themselves. Meanwhile, as far as the games themselves go, these remakes and extra versions generally still sell millions - relatively close to the base games. So, there's a much bigger reason for GameFreak themselves, rather than Pokemon Company overall, to push annual games.
because making jokes is a bannable offense while outright hatred and hypocisy is fine... just put your head down and say what you're told to say
I'm not. He mocked the reactions in this thread as being too serious. I explained why that wasn't the case and his response was flippant and strange in relation to his discourse originally.
Maybe you're right but I was confused by your response honestly
I mean, TLOU2 had its multiplayer cut out and MHW had a ton of bosses cut from the game.
yes... and both of these titles are seeing an massive increase in quality and care put into them... that's the point.
TLOU is looking to set a graphical benchmark on consoles as well as greatly improve the complexity of the combat system and MHW, in addition to looking orders of magnitude better than any of the previous games, also greatly improved the AI and the sophistication of interactions. Those are cases of devs having to prioritize in other areas that were deemed more important. This whole controversy with Gamefreak is that despite these cuts there isn't any area that seems leaps and bounds better than before graphically or in terms of scope.
Another thing is that people comment this it Gamefreak's first HD game. Well that was pretty much the case for the Monster Hunter team as well. Yeah they had a port of 3U to the Wii U and 4 to the Switch, but those were HD remasters, not ground up HD titles
?? Huh ok...Just saying I get why ppl are upset, but none of that applies to me, I don't play Pokémon games. Just going to try this one out and hope it's good, I wouldn't really know how it pales to past games, but I'm hoping it's still a solid experience.
Not happy about this. GTS helped me complete my dex when I fell off Pokemon for two generations.
That said, the Pokemon community back in the old forum was great so I hope it'll be the same here.
In any case, I don't plan to buy the game til later even though I do feel a bit hyped about it. After all, it's still Pokemon... just Pokemon with a whole bunch of cuts.

Yeah, it's weird that all the "fuck Capcom" posts and similar attacks on the dev weren't actioned in the thread linked below, for example, but it's a completely different case here with the use of a sarcastic hashtag. There should either be a zero tolerance policy, which Era originally was founded on, or it shouldn't be actioned at all.
You may even see some familiar faces here!
Consume before justifying consumption.
Lmfaoooooo
Lol Please...
Smile,
Though your heart is achin'
Smile ♫
Pretty much.
Lmfaooo
Perhaps the dataminers shouldn't have been the ones to share this info with us...
Anything by Drayano is spectacular.
It is a decade too late to cure the cancer on gaming that is pre-order culture, the blame should be on GF for not being clear with the state of the product they're asking $60 for.
LMFAOOOOOOOO
Lol i agree but whyMetagross is so cool holy shit.
If you have a homebrewed 3DS, then the ORAS/Gen 7 hacks by Dio Vento are really good.
Because Bioware and Bethesda are supporting an oppressive government... oh wait, they aren't so I can't use that excuse. I got nothing.
It's ridiculous that you got a warning for a sarcastic hashtag, while there are posts wishing for a developer to die or a game to be cancelled or fail with no moderation at all. Imagine if Ubisoft released two versions of Assassin's Creed Odyssey, they would be the laughing stock of the forum.
Because Capcom is supporting a... oh wait, neither they are. Then it must be because Capcom devs don't have feelings so you can't hurt them.
You have to wonder why is the moderation team taking action in this case and not in all the other cases, never seen such a blatant double standard. I just wish some clear rules, are we allowed to say fuck this and that company as long as it's not GameFreak? It this how it works?
GameFreak defenders are very creative, I'm impressed, even when they criticize GF it doesn't feel like one.
Anyway all the crazy hate and mindless love aside, this franchise is just in a bad situation, i hope things get better, they should fix the management, it's pretty bad.

I want to know more. What makes them really good? What is the big change over the originals?
It takes ORAS/the Gen 7 games, adds in all of the non-legendary Pokemon, and makes the game much more difficult - to the point where all of the bosses use competitive teams - which makes the terrible writing and the constant cutscenes at least somewhat bearable. It also makes it much easier to obtain competitive items (you can simply buy them in stores instead of having to grind for them in the Battle Tree).
Hoooly shit lol. Several of the same people constantly shutting down Pokemon criticism are in there raging on Capcom no worries.
It's too perfect.
Fuck Capcom is completely understandable.
They don't port games to Switch and Monster Hunter: World was too successful for the betrayal that it was.
/s just incase someone misunderstands me[i/spoiler]
I just got accused of "raiding" one of the other threads because of a post criticizing how GF handled this. So it should go without saying, but please don't jump into other threads to "raid" other discussions. I don't personally think it's happening but it would be nice to not have to be accused of such things.
I apologize that the upsetness of people probably directed at me jumped to you just cause you made a tangential point to the discussion that was happening with me.
no apology necessary. As long as people can talk in good faith and without maligning each other I can handle it.
The increased difficulty also encourages you or gives you more reason to use items and strategies that would be overkill for the vanilla game. For instance, a fight that is seemingly impossible can be won if maybe you rotate a few Pokemon out of your team, change moves, hunt for items or berries, etc. If you know a lot about Pokemon's items and battle mechanics, then hacks are a lot of fun.
This doesn't surprise me. It all goes back to console wars, predictably.
So I just got denied cancelling preorder (Ireland).
The CuCa representative basically told me that by agreeing to Nintendo's T&C I sign a waiver to a right for a refund. When I pressed whether this is lawful in EU I got sent this quote:
I pressed him about the last point. I have not started the performance, because, well Nintendo does not let you to until the game is released. He refused to take it up any further and said that Nintendo's decision is final.
Does anyone have any idea whether this is actually ok for Nintendo to do?

In what sense? The original purpose of praising a developer or the mocking sense?
People mock other companies all the time here.
How is it any different from "Capcom is Back"?
