Current Events > Pokemon direct tomorrow

(+) Yeah! (+)

Right but again the big problem here is the nature of the brand and the nature of the two companies involved with one probably having more of a want for the games to come out faster.

Since merchandise is involved that sort of screws with the need to delay games.

so you admit gamefreak are responsbile for the lack of time on the games

because if they wanted more time they could use their voting power to get it

and again we know nintendos stance on delaying games its a core part of their business

and again it lines up with their own self published games low quality

topic got baha'd

there are 3 companies who own TPC

nintendo game freak and creatures inc

we know nintendo would vote yes to delaying a game

so that means the 2 nos are gamefreak and creatures inc

and it fits gamefreaks entire company history

they have been putting out rushed products since the beginning

gen 1 is a mess of a game

ther erecent my town hero is the most meh game ever that gamefreak its self did not bother to even market or promote

He might have been the one running defense awhile back for Pokemon Stadium on NSO not including interactivity with the Gameboy games, despite that being an incredibly simple thing for them to do. Makes me wonder why companies even bother with marketing teams at this point lol

Regardless of ownership percentages and all that the underlying issue is that there is no financial incentive for any of the involved parties to change the release schedule. The games might be rushed, unfinished messes but they are profitable rushed, unfinished messes.

Game Freak in particular would be very hesitant to slow the schedule down since I have to imagine 99% of their income is directly related to Pokmon games. Expanding the release schedule is going to be a major hit to their financials.

Nintendo likes the reasonably hands off easy money the franchise generates. And they like that Game Freak gets the heat when the games quality get attacked.

If you want Pokmon games to change they need to start to actually underperform. People need to demonstrate that rushing shit out won't be rewarded.

He's been doing it for a long, long time. Its dedication.

The problem with that more comes from people blaming Gamefreak for that though which just pushes that really bad narrative again since it would be on Nintendo for that.

Not to mention you kinda need the Pokemon Games on NSO to have that compatibility for Stadium since the other means might be more complicated or restrictive (One being borrowing from Home which might be complicated and the other inserting the game data into Stadium itself which might not work if they do plan on bringing the games to NSO)

So then it on gamefreak for deciding to not spend ten minutes emailing the rom data to Nintendo. Data that already existed and bridged into other software like Home, on 3rd.

or equally their fault for deciding to not update either stadium to recognize either the games or a Home box as a gbc cart, a feat that emulators accomplished long ago.

At what point does gamefreak shoulder any responsibility for cutting corners with their own products?

So in summation:

Gamefreak is not responsible for their rushed games because TPC is unreasonable with their schedule.

Gamefreak is not responsible for fighting to slow down the schedule because it apparently wouldnt work because reasons.

Gamefreak is not responsible for fixing their understaffing problem because it apparently wouldnt help because the deadlines are still tight.

They arent responsible for the rights to the VC games despite owning the rights to the VC games.

They arent responsible for a basic rom of gen 1 or 2 , which is all the NSO games are, because despite owning those games its 100% Nintendos decision, and Nintendo apparently had no interest in making the best selling gbc or gba games ever made available on their gbc or gba emulators, he said with no proof.

They arent responsible for Home because of Ilca, a company they work closely with and issue all Pokemon-related marching orders to.

The poor quality of their non-rushed, non-Pokemon games like Little Town Hero has no bearing on the equally-poor quality of their Pokmon games, because, well, you didnt answer this one,

And apparently Gamefreak management having a prevailing attitude of it will sell well regardless and not caring when employees push for better, according to testimonials of their actual staff, is also irrelevant, because I notice you didnt address that, either.

So again I ask, at what point does Gamefreak take any responsibility for their own products?

So again I ask, at what point does Gamefreak take any responsibility for their own products?

1. They have partial issues but yeah because they are not a publisher the time frame is not set by them.
2. They are responsible for that for sure but if multiple parties are involved and gave a say in the matter if they can get outvoted by other companies then you can see the problem can you not?
3. Yes and no, this is an area they can work on but again hiring more people is t as easy as it seems you need to vet people to have the skills needed and on top of that more people requires more building space so expansion isnt a cut and dry method. Not to mention having more people on a project doesnt change the fact that if time constraints are an issue they will continue to do more harm if they are being rushed.
4. Again they own partial rights to the games even their old ROMs and again the notion of ROMs more falls on Nintendo anyhow as they are the ones working on them.
5. And again Nintendo is the ones in charge of NSO. If they are going to out them up they will put them up. Its not fully on Gamefreak here to supply ROMs of games that Nintendo already has the damn ROMs of.
6. Yes that is how development works, thats line arguing that any issues Pokemon Go has is all on Gamefreak and not on Niantic who literally works on the mobile game.
7. Little Town Hero can be chalked up to limited staff working on it and the fact that developers dont always make good games. And Gamefreak as a company rarely ever makes other games.
8. Management is also not the entire company and believe ir or not ex employees can make things up online, its a thing that can happen.

Man, I just wanted to talk about how fun pokeymans are, not workplace politics >_>

Kinda would happen though since these topics tend to just repeat the same line of It will be nothing but mobile games and DLC

The topic properly got CE'd

Does that make me one of yall? Or the other way around?

disingenuous at best

Gen 1 and 2 on Switch lets go!!

Gen 1 and 2 on Switch lets go!!

Baha why do you always get into arguments when it comes to gamefreak and pokemon? You seem to do this in every topic I see you in about games.

What is the point?

Has there been any leaks?

They should have gen 3 too

Only Mew and Mewtwo raids for Scarlet/Violet.

Seems kind of overkill. Although I wouldn't mind it.

When will this happen? Anyone got a time? One that including a "time from now" response because I can't read US times and convert them. My brain refuses.

What are the odds this will be entertainingly anti-hype?
I kinda love stuff like that.

The present or topics?

The video.
If they make a bunch of games that's neat, but if it's the presentation equivalent of a garbage bag bursting open while you're carrying it, that's good too.

It's time
