also its currently like this

  • Fake Out cannot be selected after it’s used once
  • Many widely-used items (Choice Specs/Bands, Life Orb, AV) are just missing
  • Less than 200 Pokémon currently
  • NS2 version is still low-res/30 FPS
  • Stalwart Mega Skarmory

Also Mega Hawlucha can give its allies No Guard for 100% accurate 1-hit KO moves lmao

I have a conspiracy theory about this. There was a brief period when Nintendo had great third party games coming out of its first party franchises, and then it suddenly stopped and we entered the slop era - I believe it's because the company made this an official policy to make their first party dev teams look better by comparison by only giving licenses to cut rate developers (and also screw them over with impossible schedules, low budgets, etc). That's why we will never see titles like F Zero GX (Sega) or Zelda the Minish Cap (Capcom) again.

If the games sell well either way, what's the incentive to spend more money and time on development?

i believe this and now i will blame Nintendo for the fate of Pokemon Mystery dungeon and Pokemon Ranger
