lol Nintendo can fucking die after how they did Pokemon Sword and Shield.

They are an insult to the industry, hell any industry.

You have Nintendo confused with GameFreaks.

One of them is a decent company. The other is one of the laziest existing gaming companies who still have a major franchise. Despite being in a world where first person shooters (which are among the easiest games to throw together with "out of the box" components from your standard game engine) AND yearly sports games are a thing.

I don't even know what you are talking about with Sword and Shield. But I will gladly agree that it will likely be, at the least, lacking in its ability to be modern in any real way.

Dragon Quest at least has an excuse because it is both TRYING to be retro, and because the company that makes it also makes non-retro games (to the point where certain fantasy titles of theirs actually try TOO hard to be "new and different"). And thus, we can trust them when they say "no really, we could modernize the crap out of this game, but we actually do want this to be our retro series and will focus our attempts at creativity elsewhere."

If Nintendo has a fault with Pokemon, its that they are too willing to let GameFreaks do their own lazy thing. But you know, its probably better that they do that, in the end. After all, what is the alternative? Hmm, lets see, what are people's opinions of Bungie Entertainment and the Halo Franchise again these days? Oh, right. Yeah, better leave the occasional bad game company alone rather get too involved and than risk getting into a habit of over-managing and ruining the good ones too.
