Gamesfreak will be competent in bringing a Pokemon game for Switch 2 with ok graphics and stable 30 fps?

Pokémon is GameFreak's IP (mostly), they're free to create as much of a bad game as they want.

S/V and Arceus also sold very very well, so there's no real incentive to do much better, really.

Pokémon is as much a Gamefreak IP as it is a Nintendo IP, both hold 1/3 of it and the Pokemon Company holds the last 1/3.

But Gamefreak is the one responsible for actually developing the games.

Arceus is quite a different game to the mainline series, and it was a pretty interesting take on it.

SV is one of their best games content wise, but also definitely their game that runs the worst.

It's such a shame the Pokemon IP is THAT powerful that they can literally push anything they want and still have one of the best selling games ever. I still buy them myself regardless.

But at least their biggest problem now could in teory be solved with a better and bigger dev team and development cycle.

I dunno if Gamefreak can dictate the development cycle as the pressure to keep the series constantly receiving games is also not only their own choice, but getting a better dev team and having more people working on it is definitely on them.

We are talking about the world's biggest and most profitable media franchise, a little more investment in the dev team would have nearly zero impact on their massive profit.
