The game's been datamined. There is no way the missing pokemonn are coming back

They just aren't in the game

That's not even the main issue!

There could possibly be a chance of them changing their minds but there's also a chance of them not

the rule for F-zero is never make another F-zero game

They say "We can't make another if we can't think of signifcant improvements"

But... looks at pokemon

Yeah

They said they were balancing for comp:
They include Aegislash/Excadrill/Toxapex and none of their counters. Then they remove critical moves like Pursuit and Hidden Power

Lie

pokemon barely changes, and that's a-okay? Nintendo is not consistent, at all

tbf nintendo doesnt make pokemon, game freak does

That was a lie

Yes, but they still tend to supervise their other IPs, even if they're not the ones outright making them

Nintendo owns the pokemon company tho

which is the publisher iirc

The thing about nitendo and pokemon, is that nintendo seems to treat Pokemon like this golden goose that,if they touch it then it'll be ruined

So they seemm to just..

Let it be whatever, because it sells regardless

Which is a not great mindset

So they just rush the games by putting the dev team under ridiculous pressure and time constraints

Which.. bad move on their part

But, that also is a bad mindset

As fans we shouldn't encourage that mindset

Meanwhile, Pokemon company is there not handing over more resources or whatever

i don't understand this logic

Gamefreak/creatures inc/nintendo each own 33% of the pokemon company

And, also, keep in mind this.. Gamefreak apparently only has 143 emmployees or so.. Not devs.. employees. And the last game apaprently was only given a 20 million dollar budget?

And they don't even do their own models.. Creatures Inc does
