| RolStoppable said: It's a sound theory that makes sense on the surface, but when you dig a bit deeper and analyze the developers' history, then it becomes apparent that good battery life is merely a beneficial side effect rather than the actual reason. GameFreak's Pokémon games haven't been among the visual cream of the crop on any console they were made for. They've never come close to maxing out a console's capabilities. Actually, they've never been above average. But for some reason the internet community at large always had it in their heads that the first mainline Pokémon on a home console will look impressive. Completely unrealistic expectations after so many meh looking games on handheld consoles. |
Yeah to make a true follow up pokemon for consoles a lot more investments needed to be made than what happened with this game,it is hard to grow on a financial scale when you are used to make semi low budget games that sell a ton on "inferior" handhelds compared to the more "big budget" standards of console games so i think Nintendo or gamefreak did see a risk in increasing the investment by a substantial amount compared to previous games and so it seemed that they took too little risk on that aspect for a franchise like this.
It is a roadblock that they will learn from imo.
