    Honestly, it’s both a really great game and an incredibly depressing one. So many aspects of it feel like a big step forward for the series, and gameplay-wise I’m genuinely having a lot of fun. Exploration is great, battles actually move fast instead of being a slog, the writing is surprisingly charming and the visual aesthetic is great, it feels good to just wander around and find items and catch wild Pokémon…
    …but the performance issues are so rough that you can literally *feel* the impossible-deadline crunch and the hardware limitations. If corporate had given this game even just half a year more, I bet a lot of the most major hiccups could have been ironed out. It fuckin sucks, man.

      Part of me wonders how much of it is because of how their development is structured, too. ScVi started production right after Sword and Shield were finished, which means that Arceus started development after that. Even though ScVi actively incorporates gameplay aspects that debuted in Arceus. Would GF have had it easier if they focused on Arceus first, and then used that as a base to build ScVi off of? Probably, but I doubt the corporate-mandated release schedule would allow for that.

It's impossible. Even BOTW itself took 5 years to develop. There is no way Scarlet/violet could be of any decent quality.
      These games need more time to be developed, and that is not Gamefreak's fault. It's Nintendo setting incredibly unrealistic deadlines with unrealistic demands.

      @@DaShikuXI @DaShiku wouldn't that mean that they bit more than what they could chew? If they clearly had an ETA, a deadline. Why create a game that is so expensive, why create so many new mons, why spend time creating new gimmicky abilities. They could've easily made the game be half the size, half the new mons and delivered a much better game. Just cause they where given a deadline doesn't make them invulnerable to critique, they should've knocked down their expectations and made a much smaller game. BoTW took 5 years? Alright that is great. They delivered a game with much better quality. Still has it's game breaking bugs, So should had they be given 10+ years like some of the AAA games? What's your point in comparing BOTW to V/S?
      To my point, Pokemon colosseum, how long was it in development? It came out on '03 and was using models from the prior 3D Pkmn games. The game look great for it's time. V/S look like a game that could've been on the Ds series. Idk man, to me, they just wasted a lot of potential.

I think Sycamore (the hottest Pokemon Professor) just wrote it off as him being "passionate". Guess you don't have to be smart to study elemental rodents. I also never felt compelled to use Mega Evolution because I was overleveled from abusing the Battle Mansion for my fashion fund (a "me" problem definitely) and the four annoying friend-rivals needed to buzz off.

      I read an article yesterday (I think it was from Kotaku?) that the development structures of the games are weird. Like they have to make a new generation every 3 years or so to match the merch and card game and anime, so they essentially put prototypes of new game ideas (i.e. open world) without refining because they don't have time. And the developers apparently give new hires who aren't as experienced with programming and game development significant roles in making the game. Which is a nice gesture for junior employees but that just makes the perfect storm of bad code and a rushed game, imo.

Unfortunately, this probably won't happen until we stop buying the product anyways, which I don't have high hopes for.

      ​@@hayato1886 "Speaking with IGN, Pokemon producer Junichi Masuda vaguely discussed how Game Freak approaches future Pokemon games. Masuda also confirmed that new-generation Pokemon titles “have about a three-year development cycle”."
      That's from an interview.
      "Game Freak held a talk during the Computer Entertainment Developers Conference 2022 (CEDEC) yesterday, 25th August, and the company shared a lot of information about how it developed assets for every Pokémon game. Confirmation that Pokemon Legends Arceus began development in Fall of 2018, with Scarlet and Violet starting around the time Generation 8 was finishing up. Means both games had three years of development."
      That is based on another interview.
      "The Pokemon community became outraged after a blog post from Game Freak revealed that Pokemon Sword & Shield was made in just under two years. Fans were furious that the Gen 8 title had such a short development cycle."
      SwSh had an even shorter dev cycle.
      "I think it's worth mentioning that Masuda's involvement beginning in 2020 implies that Pokemon BDSP had about 1.5 years of production (Mar. 2020 ➡ Oct. 2021)"
      BDSP likely has even less
      There is also a consistent 3 year release window between the mainline games.
      X/Y: October 12 2013
      Sun/Moon: November 18 2016
      Sw/Sh: November 15 2019
      S/V: November 18 2022
      This is aligned with the release dates of the anime series, as the games and anime are obviously following the same cycle.
      X/Y anime: October 17 2013
      Sun/Moon anime: November 17 2016
      Sw/Sh anime: November 17 2019
      S/V: TBD
      There is more than enough to show that Pokemon games have a 3 year development cycle. The anime and games are developed alongside each other meaning that Game Freak has to fit their development within those 3 years.
      It is an indisputable fact that a Pokemon development cycle is based on a 3 year window.
      It is not Game Freak who sets these deadlines. They are based on the whole Pokemon multi-media franchise needing to run alongside each other. The games need to align with the anime, TCG, merchandise etc.
