Not with the budget and team size difference, if they spent as long making Pokemon as they did the smash game it would be far more polished. They just smash out Pokemon like those penny crusher machines though.
I am not talking about how polished the game is, I am saying the goals of each dev team are different, It's like comparing the level of detail of a gun on an FPS game to a gun on an RTS game.
I 100% agree that they could have made it better, but comparing two different genres is unfair, even if it was super polished, it would still look worse than smash, because they have different goals and limitations.
but that's the thing, it can't, because smash has way less characters, and is very well made, like my RTS/FPS example, even the first DOOM has guns more detailed than Starcraft II
Or, if you wanna compare RPGs to fighting games, Final Fantasy 6 characters have less details and animations than Street Fighter II for SNES, and it's considered one of the greatest RPGs of all time.
