How lazy and incompetent is Gamefreak? Good God.

New Pokemon Snap looks.... absolutely outrageously better than the mainline games by Gamefreak. Let Bandai Namco make the next mainline game. It is inconceivable to me that they make a detailed 3D world like this for a photography game but still refuse to make an actual main-series pokemon game in this kind of environment. I cannot imagine a game that, conceptually, would be more well-received than that. There are literally thousands of mobile phone games out now that are more fleshed out and evolved than the mainline pokemon games are. Gamefreak is pathetic.

Not only that, but if the spirit of New Pokemon Snap is anything like the trailer, you can tell they actually took the time to at least listen to what fans liked and wanted in a Pokemon Snap sequel. The fact that the trailer built up to a special tease of Pikachu holding the apple - a core memory of any fan of Pokemon Snap - shows that they wanted to capture the actual fanbase and show that they meant business.

At this point, since The Pokemon Company being owned 33%/33%/33% by Nintendo/Gamefreak/Creatures Inc. is better off outsourcing the main games. Nintendo will have to profit share with the other two whether or not Gamefreak actually develops the games. Gamefreak clearly doesn't give a shit about developing the Pokemon games - and they'll get the 33% profit anyways. And a mainline Pokemon game developed with the same ambition of BotW or SMO would indisputably be the one of the biggest games of all time - everyone wins in that scenario.
