The Pokémon Company is “having conversations” about how to ensure the quality of future games under its frequent release schedule, it’s said.
The Pokémon Company has a long history of publishing new video games often: only seven years in the last 27 have not seen a new mainline release.
In 12 months leading up to Scarlet and Violet’s release last November, three major Switch titles were released (including Legends: Arceus and Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl).
However, the series’ cadence appears to have caused some quality issues during the HD era. At release, 2019’s Sword & Shield was criticised for poor visual quality, while last year’s Scarlet and Violet launched with many technical issues, which Nintendo even apologised for.
Speaking at the Pokemon World Championships in Yokohama, Japan, this weekend, The Pokémon Company COO Takato Utsunomiya was asked by ComicBook.com if there was a specific schedule that the Pokémon brand was beholden to when it came to the release of new Pokémon games.
