Nintendo's claim that emulation 'stifles innovation' isn't just absurd—it's hypocritical

@Exaggeration207 Yeah, I can see that. Speaking of pokémon, is there a reason why they keep retaining GameFreak for making their games? The quality control of the products they ship is, uh, not quite there.
LOL, that's being generous! The optimization of Pokémon Scarlet/Violet was atrocious. Especially when the game was built exclusively for Switch and we see what the system is capable of in Tears of the Kingdom. Unfortunately, even though the quality is not there, the sales are. Despite its issues, S/V sold a ton of copies worldwide and it's hard to argue with those results when you're talking to a profit driven corporation.
I heard something about Game Freak working on a new IP though... maybe if we're lucky, they'll get sick of making an endless stream of Pokémon games and they'll hand the franchise to a developer who will give it some much-needed love.
@Exaggeration207 The optimization still is. 7 months into the release and the game still has serious FPS drops in the problem areas. Hopefully Nintendo contracts a new development studio.
