I will say the same thing I said during the whole Blizzard thing:

I am a consumer, as long as the product I want is delivered with the expected standards I couldn't care less if the guy who made is a serial murderer, an alien, an AI or a stupid monkey.

Problem is, the problem he wanted to solve might happen, keyword there being might, and on top of that it might happen 1000 years from now.
That's how stupid it is, there was no need to summon Eternatus at all besides the fact plot needs to happen.

Fixing the plot is simple, just change 1000 to 10 years, show us how much areas unaffected by Galar particles are underdeveloped, like Spikemuth. Makes us understand why he wants to the stupid thing and why the urgency.

@mr-duster
As an RPG, Pokemon has barely any plot and in most games it only kicks in during the finale, usually between the 8th gym and E4. Basically only Gen 3, 4, 5 and 7 had storytelling, basic as it was but it was storytelling nonetheless.

And the plot wasn't so bad either, Gen 3 had us face two teams that wanted to reshape the earth because there wasn't enough space for pokemon and people, Gen 4 had us face a team that wanted to
reshape the universe because life was unfair and the universe would be better if there were no emotions, Gen 5 had us face a team that wanted monopoly of Pokemon and Gen 7 had the whole thing with Aether Foundation and Ultra Beasts.

Gen 8 plot is abysmal in comparison to that, "I will summon Eternatus to solve an energy crisis that might affect us 1000 years in the future".

Half of those complaints wouldn't even be there if GameFreak wasn't so stubborn in the first place.
I get it that Pokemon target audience is kids, but that doesn't mean the game has to be dumbed down. Give us gym leaders with better AI and teams, give us good post game content, a plot that doesn't kick in during the last stretch, also a decent plot, and so on.

Hell, gym leaders don't even use held items that aren't berries, why should I use it?

Given the fact that almost 20 years ago people used to work in conditions we would consider nowdays to be "toxic" and still managed to deliver a game with almost no game breaking bugs I think "lazy devs" is the perfect term to use.

They aren't incopetent nor unexperienced, they are just hoping to ship a flawed product and fix it late with patches and stuff, if that isn't "lazy" then I don't know what is.

Now, in GameFreak's case being lazy just mean not shipping a product that blows up fans expectation. They just recycle assets from 10 years ago and make a new game. Recycling assets is fine but it has been almost 10 years since the franchise entered the 3D realm and Pokemons still don't have decent idle animation, pokemons are just a blank slate in battle. Compare that to Mario, Kirby, Zelda and other games Nintendo put out, you'll see Pokemon is dead last in terms of polishing and innovation despite being released almost yearly.

I don't even think this should be a debate at all, most people in this industry sign a contract stating any work they do is property of the company, also they have to work a certain ammount of time or meet a certain quota of contribution to be credited in the game.
It's not like MercurySteam stole their work and used it without permission, also even if they don't appear in game credits they can still put their work in a portfolio, as long said work doesn't violate any NDA.

It works wonders, but only if you have a display that supports 1440p.
Makes me guess if a true 4k upscaler would do the trick better.

Just hoping for a XC2 re-issue if this is really true.

If you are paying that much attention to a character skin color then you aren't playing the game, let alone enjoying it to see how creative it can be.

I mean, a game don't even need a human character to be creative in the first place. Pong, Pac-Man, Space Invaders and Galaga are good examples of that.

@BloodNinja
My cousin lost 2 fingers in his hand due to a saw accident.
He often complains how most games outside PC don't offer a key rebinding option, you can only change control schemes.

@Einherjar
Only for a minority who doesn't play Street Fighter.

Maybe they should fix actual problems like lack of support for people with visual, auditive and cognitive impairment before trying to tackle politcal problems.

Not having a character with A/B/C color or X/Y/Z gender won't stop you from playing a game, not being able to differentiate colors, pinpoint via audio cues or even diferentiate some letters will.

Jeff Grubb aside, I can see Nintendo releasing this trilogy remake if Dread sells goos.

People sure are complaining a lot for $50 bucks more on a console they'll buy once in a lifetime.

I mean, if there was a $0.50 price hike on food they wouldn't even complain that much, despite the fact that food is something you'll spend your money everyday and that this price hike will actually leave a hole in your pocket.

I might be blessed, two years and zero drift.

But, well, I do clean all my controllers with a can of compressed air and a drip of IPA at least once per month, also I do avoid leaving them outside catching dust, always kept them on a case or a drawer when not in use.
