Game Freak is one of the most talentless developers in the world.
Excuse me but, I need to inform you that Pokémon is currently the biggest laughing stock in the internet. The stain this horrible studio is leaving in the Nintendo's family is growing year after year (I know they don't own the majority of GF but Nintendo has made everything to relate the IP to the brand so idc for that statement).
We are at the point that even Call of Duty is a more respected name than Pokémon in the industry and has delivered better products this year than Game Freak has done in the entire console's life; you know what? even before that. Trust me, if this game was made by someone like Ubisoft or Sonic Team you wouldn't be hesitant AT ALL to bitch both the developers AND the publisher.
I won't be surprised AT ALL if the next generation ends up being a Cyberpunk/Fallout 76 level of disaster and Pokémon fans still show they are at FIFA/Madden followers level of conformism.
Game Freak needs a directive overhaul and not impossible datelines for modern AAA games, please.
