Re: Game Freak Confirms Pokémon Legends: Arceus Started Development Before Sword & Shield's Launch

@CielloArc Monolith soft (whose works I love) are for sure exceptionally good developers, but they have almost double the number of employees than gamefreak and they take (rightfully!) much more time to release their mainline titles (single player games which are a completely different beast than online multiplayer games btw).

Should Gamefreak follow the Monolith soft way and take them as an example? Probably, yeah.

Will TPC deadlines and greediness allow Gamefreak the time and money to do so? Never in a million years.

At one point in time, in the middle of a pandemic, gamefreak (which is composed of only 178 employees as of may 2022) was developing sword and shield dlc, legend arceus and scarlet and violet simultaneously.

Pokémon fans are always fast to call them bad and lazy developers, but I challenge any other studios to manage to do what they do while meeting such inhuman deadlines.

Stop blaming gamefreak, the real enemy here is TPC.
