"GameFreak is what's holding back Pokemon"
You asked and The Pokemon Company listened: presenting the first non-GameFreak core Pokemon game!
It's a stripped down port remake that misunderstands the art direction of the classic that it salvages for nostalgia bait! Oh, you don't like this?
How about a heavily monetized version of Google Maps?
Do you see what I'm saying here? Replacing GameFreak isn't going to give us better games. Without them, Pokemon will just hire the cheapest studio willing to make their soulless nostalgia bait. Pokemon's main profit comes from merch and that's all they need to sell it.
I know GameFreak is no victim, but I'm defending them because I don't want them to go away. They speak like they honestly love what they do, and I just don't want gamers to kill that.
Edit: ILCA isn't a bad studio, and Niantic...well that's a different can of worms. Also, I'm not talking about side ventures like Pokemon New Snap. There's no reason to rush that because the franchise doesn't depend on it. My point is, no matter what company they hire to make the games the franchise depends on, The Pokemon Company will rush them for their merchandise schedule.
Edited to remove the assertion that The Pokemon Company held back ILCA's vision for BDSP. As commenters pointed out, the source did not substantiate this claim.

I don’t wanna retype it so I’m just gonna re-post my thoughts on the matter from Twitter. Scarlet/Violet being released like this should be completely unacceptable, and I’m sorry but everyone who shit on Sonic Frontiers for having very minor technical issues while praising the Pokemon Company for THIS is a complete clown.

Pokemon With Guns (ft. All Right Gentlemen MEME!) by Mast3r-Rainb0w
Pikachu finally packing heat?!! Anyways, I redrew this funny comic based on the classic internet meme from 2012, plus I wanted to bring it back TO THIS DAY AND AGE since I feel like this is probably more relevant NOW than ever before. Enjoy!

The Pokémon Company put out a statement about Palworld. Don't really know if anything will actually come of it tho.
(Truth be told, since I don't have the means to play it, I haven't really bothered looking into Palworld all that much. Most of what I know is they've been accused of ripping off some design aspects and even some fangames' designs, but someone who accused them of blatantly ripping off entire models was later found out to have lied.)
Edit: Ok, according to a commenter, it's not so much "lied" as tweaked by resizing them, but the proportions still lined up. So my bad on that.
