just imagine what kind of lush and lively world gamefreak could create if they used 300-400m of that money for their next game (thinking of the Pokémon movies here) ..

but they won't

My problem exactly with this company. They want to spend as little as possible. They are cheap as fuck and only get away with it because their fans will buy anything as long as it has Pokemon.

The potential for greatness is there, but they can't be bothered.

Except they are making a new core RPG Pokémon game for the Switch which will definitely use more resources for HD development. And why spend $300-400 million for an HD project? I don't think it's necessary to spend THAT much. GTA V was about $250 million.

And its their choice to continue the mainline games on handhelds. They probably feel that they can get the best out of Pokémon (interactivity for both offline and online, meeting people, battling, trading, training, etc.) through handhelds because you can take them on the go. You see the commercials. They emphasized what makes Pokémon what it is.
