I would like to apologize for earlier aggression, I shouldn't have been so vitriolic. I can express my opinion without being insulting, and I should do that.
now for some bad news:
Gamefreak admits that pokemon isn't as much a priority for them
the "Game Freak isn't putting their full effort" theory is no longer a theory. its a fact, so much so they're prioritizing side games over the main one. their main team is working on Town and their b team is working on Pokemon.
I stand by my position that Game Freak could done it better, and that this evidence unfortunately, corroborates that.
