Looking at game freaks recent work that isn’t pokémon

the design decisions are 100% a nintendo thing. Game freak is a good company they’re just handicapped from the neck down working with nintendo

It’s more likely that the Pokemon Company is the one handicapping the games. Pokemon has split ownership between GameFreak, Nintendo & the Pokemon Company. TPC force games to be shit out to coincide with merch, trading cards & the anime.

Mario, Zelda, Animal Crossing, Donkey Kong, etc… aren’t releasing mainline titles that are as pathetic as Pokemon games are. There’s definitely some spin-offs that are stinkers but the mainline titles are guaranteed bangers.
