I had a dream that GameFAQs had a Like button

it was pretty small and discrete the the point I had to do a double-take to realize they were even there and I just didn't notice before which made me think the dream was real.

Do they need to be restructured to hire/borrow a bigger development team? Their money/resources ratio of pokemon is probably way wider than any first party nintendo franchise.

yes

Mainline Pokemon has been ingrained with Game Freak on handhelds for decades. They've never needed anything like this before, they've done their own thing with the mainseries Pokemon games and where they were (on handhelds) they were fine - even if already showing strain on the 3DS titles. Pokemon being able to get away with cheap production and major returns is a feature to Nintendo, one that feeds into Pokemon's autonomy which is definitely the most disconnected major series to Big N.

These expansions don't just happen as needed, Game Freak just has a lot of growth to do, and if you're talking about taking roles of Game Freak from the mainlines you've got Japanese corporate culture to deal with protecting the dev team.

Can't stress enough how disjointed Pokemon is among the many companies managing it.

All that *needs* to be highlighted though is that, as SEP pointed out. This isn't even the mainline, they announced the next Pokemon games along side this for a reason. Wait to see how that true next gen Pokemon Gen turns out instead of getting our panties in a bunch over a reimagining spin-off series that's dumbed down as its very concept. Let's Go is a simple side-project they've been doing in the meantime while they're making use of the actual development time they need on the major project.

Nobody here (me either) really has any clue what's going on in the corporate side or any idea of what is and isn't "easy". What we do know is that Let's Go is a sidemeal entry with a lot of neat features in it we can enjoy right now while Nintendo & co all continue working on the simultaneously announced major series hopefully dropping next year. If you don't wanna spend +$60 on a sidemeal suit yourself, but I'll remind Santa that Opoona still originally released at full MSRP! Retail game prices have just never scaled that way.

We also know, historically and quite well documented, that people who complain about "lazy devs" are trash beings who don't know anything they're talking about.

Pretending like Game freak couldn't do more is incredible. Like there's no reason at all this game couldn't have been the "Smash Ultimate" of pokemon.

Like you don't have to compare it to red dead or zelda botw to know that them not including johto was them just being like "eh why bother" they have the money, resources, and support from nintendo to basically do whatever they want, but what they wanted to do was recreate kanto on a 1 to 1 scale with chibi graphics. And for some weird ass reason lots of people are like "Yeah that's worth the same price as zelda botw, mario odyssey, red dead redemption 2"

Like what if you jumped from this universe to the universe where sakurai was just redoing smash 64 with better graphics and cute little nods to past 64 fans. You'd be like "yeah.. it's kind of a cool game but I can't believe people are excited over THIS"

Like why does every other series get held to standards except for pokemon? That's the part that's bothering me.

"Can" Game Freak do it? Sure.

Not in a year, and not the features people are talking about here in a small-scale reimagining geared towards younger audience by an already young standard Pokemon's normally at.

I don't think you realize how small Game Freak is. They've been a handeheld dev team since the 90s, they are not anywhere near the league Nintendo's major dev teams. The things you guys are asking for are going to take a much longer dev time than what Go got, which is longer than Go even deserves in the first place.

Comparing Game Freak to EAD isn't a discussion. Game Freak =/= Nintendo, and taking Pokemon from Game Freak would be a major restructuring taking away from Nintendo's actual big teams. Saying it doesn't deserve to be full priced is fine, but that's the case of like 99% of the gaming market. You might as well say stop making retail Switch games at that point. This is just what the game has been marketed as since it was announced, and given the sales, demand is there for it. You're just not part of that demand.

Imagine if you believed the second best rumour of FF6 history: that you could resurrect General Leo by killing 4000 brachys! (well, that was one variation of the rumour, the main one was just kill 4000 enemies from that dino forest and you'll get a potion to resurrect him from his grave in Thamasa)

Certainly helpful for the Cultists' Tower!

Brachys don't disappear or anything, they're just... really rare. But you can't steal that relic from them either, only drop! Their steal item is also good though, the Ribbon (protects against p much all statuses)

- Celes' backstory revealed in a playable Esper World

I like how you've spent all this time with that crew of 12 without finishing up the WoR that you seemingly forgot that the playable cast is 14 characters! Setzer is the other person you couldn't fit into your party. You're even substituting Celes into Terra's WoB role so that all that's really left of Terra is her theme song!

The story literally revolves around Fang (with Vanille as the primary narrator due to her close proximity to Fang). Cmon, I know you hate FFXIII, but dont act like Fang is some nobody.

Being important to the plot doesn't give you presence -- see Terra Blandford

But Fang has even less going for her since her role is already covered by Vanille who does a much better job at being important & involving herself with the rest of the cast. Hell the "I don't wanna be with you guys" role is even filled by Lightning so Fang is double redundant!
