Gamefreak do not deserve sympathy, they should have tried harder instead of putting out the bare minimum. People saying 'just try it' are the problem, you buy the product regardless of quality and they continue to make no effort.
'It looks for all the world like the developer has simply swapped out buxom anime college girls for hot single dads. Spend a few minutes with it, though, and you’ll soon discover a touching visual novel that focuses on relationships' This is why it sucks.
Stop excusing Gamefreak simply being lazy. If they're culling numbers to improve animations, they have absolutely nothing to back that notion up because they're still recycling everything from previous games.
It doesn't bother me much but the logic doesn't really hold up when you're the Pokémon company and you have infinite money to actually make the effort.
