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?
