I'm real tired of people screaming and calling the devs at Game Freak incompetent and lazy. It's time for a thread about Sword and Shield.
And why what's going on is, actually, the developers taking the heat for their publisher. A story that is not new, at all, in our industry.

A lot of people are spewing some incredibly intense heat at the new Pokemon games, and some are offering valid critique. The game lacks polish in its presentation, and the lack of the national dex is felt by everyone. But, why is everyone's first response to blame Game Freak?
A lot of people seem to believe because Pokemon is a big IP, they have access to all the money and resources in the world. But that's... demonstrably not true. They're a game developer, like all others. They're not some unique anomaly just because they make something popular.
I'd like to talk about this 'proof' that #GameFreakLied ... as a 3D artist with over 7 years experience making games. A thread. 
1. These wireframe comparison images have no source. It seems to originate from somewhere on 4Chan (the height of internet credibility?) then back to Twitter again. There is literally nothing to support this datamine actually happened.
2. I could fake these screenshots in under an hour by selecting one of two identical models in a 3D viewport, which would create the white and black outlines.
