Game Freak, followed by Nintendo EAD.

Nothing can compare to Pokemon, obviously, and I don't see how a lot can be put on top of almost every other important Nintendo game.


IMO Gamefreak is one of the worst developers. I loved pokemon but the franchise didn't evolved.

Pokemon in 1996:

 

Pokemon in 2011:

 

They just put uncreative new monster instead of improving the game itself.

They certain are one of the most greedy developers. Slightly more than Activision. The fact is: they make A LOT of money and they don't reinvest that on the game itself. They could at least invest like 5% of the revenue that they get, instead of probably less than 1%.

I think that Nintendo could modernize Gamefreak a little more. What would be cool is if Nintendo made a spin-off Pokemon with a Third-Party dev like Level-5.

Another problem is the yearly releases for the franchise. A Pokemon game will never have the same personality and impact as the Blu/Red. It turned out to be a single-player experience instead of playing with friends.

IMO Nintendo should make only 1 pokemon X/Y for 3DS.

Is that really an image from Pokemon Black? It looks more like the Gameboy games and those are either nicknames or fake Pokemon. The games themselves have actually evolved quite a bit however if you're not into the competitive scene or collection scene you pass over all the new elements. I admit that I have long wanted the games to become more like a MMO and for the battle system to go real time ala Smash Bros style fighting. The main thing holding Pokemon games back are the platforms they appear on. I think the 3DS's most interesting game will be Pokemon because Gamefreak will finally have some decent horsepower to work with.
