Dont know how to embed but sad if true

AYO those animations are dog s*** lmaooo

Came in here to post this as well.

They are lying (in the corporate PR management sense). Real answer from their meeting minutes per a friend of mine who saw them, and has been accurate about every Nintendo related thing for years now (I was saying the next games would be named Sword and Shield long before that name was publicly known, if you want that as proof I even have time stamped messages to games media people of it) is they just f***ed up the model and animation importer, and didn't have the manpower with the right knowledge to fix it in time to meet the set release date. So instead they had to put tons of people, including outside help (this is where the ~300 people worked on Sw&Sh number comes from) on recreating art assets and getting their busted ass engine to work, since Gamefreak f***ing up the importer is actually indicative of their overall software engineering competency right now.

Edit: Their current plan is to try to salvage Sword and Shield by not admitting this, as it would be an admission that this was a failed gen, and then having a big surprise announcement of the full dex in the following game/gen with the fixed importer on hand. Their story will be that they listened to feedback and now realize how important the full dex is, while not admitting how incompetent the actual in house Gamefreak devs are to save face; of which less than ~80 of them actually worked on Sword and Shield until recently, many of them off working on Town (btw Town development wasn't going well either, there's just large gaps of software engineering knowledge there) until they realized the importer was totally busted and un-salvageable in time.

Before anyone tells me Masuda said future gens won't have the full dex, he was in those meeting minutes too, right down to that statement being planned as part of how they're going to handle this PR s***storm.

Edit: before anyone takes this as gospel, it's possible for the suits to change their mind about reversing dexit after the meetings I'm referencing occured, or at some point in the future.

Edit: the aforementioned timestamped messages.

I mean... it actually makes a lot of sense. I can see why they wouldn't admit to these mistakes as well, because shareholders etc can become hostile and s*** but damn...

Will GF actually learn from this though. Like they have to know everyone is s***ting on this game rn

Hopefully they’re gonna release a patch that fixes some of these issues but I doubt it

Prayin Nintendo just makes these games themselves
