I can agree with this.

The fans keep handwaving the terrible mechanics and graphics, when both are clearly beyond dated.

The switch had breath of the wild, ffs.

There is absolutely no reason a Pokémon game should look like “my first unity project”

Ive always assumed pokemon is so profitable that it falls into this weird void where the expectations of revenue are so high they never have the margin to make a quality game

Edit: quality 3D game

No, you are 100% correct.

Do not apologize.

But it really bothers me that Nintendo is doing absolute voodoo with breath of the wild, but at the same time telling their most profitable side studio to fuck off.

It’s perplexing. Downright perplexing. Why their most profitable IP from a third-party studio doesn’t have access to the engine.

They never apologized.
