@ChristiJunior@neckbeard.xyz @rasterman @matrix It's not even graphics. They're just shit programmers in general. They even had to get Iwata involved several times because they were terrible at optimizing their code and data to fit on cartridges. Hell, Pokemon Red and Blue almost weren't localized because they literally had to have Iwata restructure the code to have ASCII characters for western localization. And this is not getting into game breaking bugs that in some cases brick your system. Sw/Sh apparently had a really bad save bug that corrupted the entire file system of your console.
I know TVTropes is pozzed as fuck but they have a section dedicated to Pokemon as part of their Idiot Programming article.

@rasterman @matrix @ChristiJunior@neckbeard.xyz Supposedly, it uses up all the read/write accesses the system NAND can do before dying, but according to a Switch hacker, the game doesn't have special read/write privileges to do that, but Sw/Sh may be a contributing factor to Switch consoles bricking.

This should be a huge embarrassment that it even happened. How are their programmers so terrible?
