It was estimated that the credits for Sun/Moon listed over 500 people. There was a lot of discussions about the staff allocated by TPC to work on those games so this should clear up a bit the facts.

Yes, it's essentially the indie experimental team of GF. But some people were still convinced that it was stealing resources from Pokémon.
What a mess. With that many people you should not have to cut Pokemon. Bigger games have been made with FAR FAR less people.
Edit: The Witcher 3 was developed by 250 people and they can't manage to make a proper game with 1000? :lol:

Cutting Pokémon is not about the staff size, is about focusing on other aspects of the game and about Pokémon HOME.
I think it will make more sense next year. But (in my opinion) the real reason is they want to get rid of the concept of generations.
Sorry for not being impressed by the same graphics with semi upscaled assets. Oh, and PS1 trees.
Many apologies.
Toby Fox said as much.
Please fuck off with this toxic bullshit
YouTube comments are over there
Tell me which bigger games have over 800 unique creatures.

Throwing more people at a game does not magically increase the amount of content. Priorities have been made elsewhere for SwSh, and the jump to HD required that big of a number.
I'm not trying to make a drive by post lazily criticizing GF's work I'm just genuinely curious why a game with this much staff, budget, and increase hardware spec looks like a minor step up from their 3DS output? Were they caught off guard by the Switch's specs? Is this going to be a case where they get Sword and Shield out and the third game or next set of games is where we see big improvements?
Can you tell me how the game is since you clearly have fully played the whole game.
I wonder if this is any indication that Game Freak as a whole is burned out on making Pokemon games.
Honestly, if this is all you are going to say when coming to the pokémon threads, you might as well go somewhere else. You won't find anything you like in here it seems.
I guess some of you just want to make a fit for the sake of it.

can you do something other than regurgitate shit you saw online
oh wait you haven't played it so you don't actually know what the game's like & are purely judging it on how it looks in videos
If that looks like upscaled graphics to you, then see an optometrist and refrain from shitposting
Its a Pokemon game. Their vision hasn't changed. They still develop games like its the Gameboy era.

Here's the thing: it's not minor at all. It's a huge upgrade by all accounts that people downplay because they don't remember correctly how 3DS games looked.
Don't you have anything productive to do today??? Like reading a book, walking your dog, cleaning your house, doing homework???
Anything would be more productive than shitposting about a game you clearly don't like and won't ever like.
Get a life.
They have always had small groups working on minor projects not related to Pokémon, it is nothing new.
lol sure
Its the best pokemon ever looked and it sure is the most ambitious its ever been, but for the better or worst, its looking very much like Ni No Kuni... a game released 8 years ago
GameFreak must be the best developers on Earth for managing to make 3D games on the GameBoy
Visually the game looks pretty decent (people nitpicking a demo that's probably a year old at this point aside) and it definitely sounds like it's gonna be the biggest game in the franchise since Gold/Silver, with 16 gyms, open-world elements, and what sounds like might actually be a relatively meaty post-game.
I do gotta wonder If it really would've been that rough to add every Pokémon when so much muscle is being thrown behind this thing. I suspect there's a lot of studio cluster-fuckery going on that we will probably never find out about.
On hardware that is about on par with the hardware Ni No Kuni was released on 8 years ago.
lmao okay. Define what it means to "develop games like its the Gameboy era"
Thank you for coming into a thread to shit on it, insult its fans, then try to claim the superior higher ground.

That's the Switch we're talking about though. It doesn't have the beef power of the PS4.
Just report the trolls.
On the 1000 people working, thats quite a lot, hope it pays off for this game and future ones

I don't know how long the production cycle on their games is, but they release a new game every year. If they had another year to work on it, it would probably look a lot better.
