i don't follow pokemon. but...is this developer the only one that can make the flagship series? seems weird to have one of their, if not the, biggest franchises stuck behind this dev.

Nintendo technically only owns 1/3rd of Pokemon and tbh they've for the most part just let GameFreak and Creatures Inc do their thing with Pokemon and they've always handled business and Nintendo had much of a reason to change up how they handled things with Pokemon because they've always done a good job for the most part until recently.

If Sword/Shield is a flop I wouldn't be surprised to see Nintendo step in

if S/S is a flop they'll just release updated versions for everyone to buy all over again a year or two later like with Sun/Moon

You're probably right, and it's a shame because everything we've seen so far says it totally deserves to.

Is the controversy is that the animation looks cheap?

Animation's been the same for that move since XY.

My dilemma with Pokemon is this:

1. Why buy anything but the most recent generation?
2. Most recent generation is super expensive.
3. Uh oh new generation.
4. Repeat ad infinitum, never buy a single game.

I mean Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee (which also got a lot of hate on the internet) sold over 10 million copies. I'd be shocked if Sword/Shield sells less.

true

although I don't think they'll be able to get away with the 1 save file thing on console so people won't be as likely to buy multiple versions for full price.

Part of it. The main issue is that they're cutting pokemon and the excuse used to justify the decision was focus on "high quality animations and balance"

I think to say that the animations look cheap imply that they're not animated as well as they could be or that their movements are uninspired. But this game's "animations" just take the still model of the Pokemon and rotate it a bit or put a 2d foot or fist in front of them. A game called Pokemon XD looks more finished

Literally Iwata took gold/silver from them and not only fixed basically every problem by himself he cut down the size of the game so much that they fit basically all of Kanto in it as well.

When people say GameFreak are terrible developers, that's not really a hyperbole. They are terrible and their stranglehold on the series has held it down.

Not defending Gamefreak cuz TC's point is valid, but if I had to guess, they're probably referring to the stupid Dynamax stuff when talking about animations.

This. Dynamax has had the only legit high-quality animations from what I've seen. Which is sad because I'm sure they said not every Pokemon in the game can Dynamax.

I think they can all grow but only some can do the super form and change form or whatever. It looks dumb either way, like the worst aspects of Z-moves and mega evolutions.
