What is up with Game Freak?

Repeating the same information isn't going to change my mind. I don't know how you can think they can't afford to delay everything when they make millions off of bare minimum effort. There's no extra work required for delaying merchandising and such, and if you're saying making a good game is too much work, then just lol.

They can delay the game, that's a fact. The only reason they wont is greed.

Game Freak and Nintendo can't do anything unless The Pokemon Company approves. TPC heavily depends on all aspects of the franchise, and making sure they work together is important. Yes, greed plays a part, but you underestimate how much work it takes to delay things like the Trading Card game, or the accompanying anime if the game gets delayed. It's a lot more nuanced than the "Evil greedy" corporation.

The thing is, while I understand this situation is in a considerable part out of their hands, that doesn't mean they are going to get my sympathies. They still took on an off features from games for years, they still divided their "limited" resources into My Little Town, and they still refused to grow as a studio even when the pressure kept increasing. This situation, while maybe unavoidable, could have definitively been handled much better.
