Why is Game Freak such a shit developer? Why do all their games suck ass? They have nothing but a bunch of useless talent. Is it the Pokemon money making them lazy and complacent?
>>
>making them
They have been incompetent for way longer than they were competent. They had two games that were good, and lost braincells after that.
>>
They purposefully make them look and play like shit because nintendies are so used to eating shit they can't consume anything else, they live off it like the bug people they are

>Is it the Pokemon money making them lazy and complacent?
is because they have small teams and dont hire new people, so you have the same retards making the same mediocre team over and over again
>director of the games says he will do everything possible to keep the developer team as small as possible
>>
>>747911072
Why did they make their logo a buttplug?
>>
>>747911072
>First IP they ever made was a lightning-in-a-bottle cultural phenomenon despite being a spaghetti-coded mess
>Never had to learn how to actually make a truly competent game as a result, but got by on passion, artistic talent and the brand becoming multibillion dollar franchise
>Passion and artistic talent dries up and they're left as the weakest link in the franchise they created, but they have no reason to ever improve because the cash cow is practically immortal now and nobody can ever take it from them
>>
>>747911072
Mendel Palace, Magical Taruruto-kun, Pulseman, Bushi Seiryuden and Drill Dozer are all great games.
>>747912141
>First IP they ever made
They made heaps of stuff before pokemon.
>Never had to learn how to actually make a truly competent game
You're embarrassingly ignorant.
Man at least check wikipedia first, it'll take 30 seconds and you'll see they've made other games.

If the Pokémon IP was handed off to Intelligent Systems or HAL, would it be better or worse off?
>>
>>747911072
Gamefreak hates Pokemon and hates that it puts them under the thumb of Nintendo. They would rather put their effort towards making new IPs, but unfortunately for them no one wants to buy them.
>>
>>747914539
Anything is better than gamefreak.
>>
>>747914539
Worse. No one can make pokemon but GF. Many have tried.

Pokemon has never been well programmed. It sells because it's a great concept with great designs.
>>
>>747911072
4chan doomposts about Gamefreak while the rest of the industry puts out real slop like Wolverine. Pokefags are spoiled, that's what you are.
>my pokemon get too much exp now this is literally the worst game in existence

>>747911373
careful what you do inside that glass house
>>
>>747911072
>Don't own the pokemon IP so they have to give up a majority of the profit to someone else
>Didn't want to make it a 50 entry series, just make a game or two then move on to something else
>Forced to keep going due to contacts so always put their new trainees on it instead of actual staff

Problem with their other games is they just depend on the gimmick idea they have a bit too much, it's what let down harmoknight and gigawrecker. Almost every single game they make has a gimmick the entire game revolves around to the point it's repetitive.
Even pokemon revolves around it's gimmick and nothing else.

>>747912141
>First IP they ever made was lightning in a bottle
damn i didn't know mendel palace was that big.
>>
>>747911072
They were never competent. They just stumbled on an insanely good idea, that's all. The original Pokemon Red and Green was nothing special from a mechanics standpoint and the coding was a shitshow.
>>
>>747911072
because pokefags have spent 30 years gassing them up.
>>
>>747911072
GameFreak was literally just a bunch of nerds in a room who made a fanzine that decided to get into game dev and after years of games that were fine to good they basically stumbled into making the biggest media franchise of all time. They were never equipped for the development of a game that would prove that large, complex & popular. Gen 1 is insanely buggy, Gen 2 was delayed and needed outside programmers to compress it, Gens 3-5 were kind of the sweetspot of expertise vs complexity vs budget, and then XY moving to 3D and Pokemon climbing back up in popularity was the death knell.

If Pokemon games sell millions of units and generate untold riches in related merch sales, why does the team NEED more devs, more time, more money? ZA is a 6/10 game (lauded as a good step up) that cost under $20 Million to develop and was probably a Top 5 seller that year.

Fellow paljeets! As we move from the 'social phenomenon' that was Palworld, even if it didn't figure into July's sales or was even mentioned last week in Tokyo's Game Show, we can kindly learn a lot to astroturf Aniimo this time.
Kindly remember to crop out all Claude watermarks from our supposed fanart, else Timmy won't be joining the player count!

>Is it the Pokemon money making them lazy and complacent?
If anything, they're making so much fucking money that they're probably scared to do anything differently. What they're doing is making them billions of dollars so why mess with a winning formula? The neckbeard adult pokemon fans crying about gameplay are not their tarket market.
>>
>>747914234
Any games they've made that are good?
>>
>>747914967
Scarlet and Violet are more poorly made than Wolverine.
Wolverine is boring and childish. Scarlet and Violet barely function.
Legends ZA is arguably just as bad.
>>
>>747918629
And somehow that shit still sold almost 30 million copies
It's incredible, really.
>>
>>747911554
>a very obvious white G on a black stand.
>wHy Is It a ButTPlug?!
Jesus dude. Get your head checked.
>>
>>747911072
But enough about Sonic Team
>>
>>747918629
Every line is incorrect.
>>
it's incredible how they have zero success outside of pokemon
it's not even just "in comparison", all their games before pokemon and after pokemon are just shovelware-tier uninspired nothingness

Good Luck to Gamefreak, let’s hope that extra dev time pays off.

They’ve got competition that shall not be named.
>>
>>747917528
Anon, they just released beats pf reincarnation. It was a complete failure but it shows they aren't afraid of doing non pokemon stuff...EVEN IF IT ALWAYS FLOPS.

They're literally a group of oldfags that don't want to break up their little bingo group. Nintendo keeps telling them to hire new blood and bring in new tech with them but they keep saying, "but it works and look at the low budget/high profits! We can learn new developments at our own pace." But then their stubborn, old asses never do or it takes them 15 years.
>>
>>747911072
I'm honestly convinced they're actively trying at this point to see how little work they can actually do and still sell millions of copies
>>
>>747914967
You're not talking to pokefags, these are assmad paltrannies doing what they do best: perpetually pissing and shitting their boy panties over Pokemon.
>>
Pokefags still buy their slop, that's why I'll never take their opinions seriously
>>
>>747911072
They are outright the worst devs in the business, and they know it. Everybody is embarrassed at them. Their little Beasts of Humiliations stunt attempt to raise dev morale failed completely, the game was botched, padded out, short, repetitive and barely worked, counting on the quality of Unreal textures and graphics to do the heavy lifting.

They are completely inept.
