FULL STORY
======================================================================

The Pokmon Companys chief operating officer, Takato Utsunomiya, has revealed 
that the company is having more and more conversations regarding balancing 
quality and quantity with its future game releases. 

Last November, Pokmon Scarlet, and Violet were released on the Nintendo 
Switch , and while they were quite easily the series most ambitious titles to 
date, they were heavily criticized for their overwhelming number of bugs , 
performance issues, and general lack of polish. Given the volume of these 
issues, it's no wonder that the Pokmon Company have seen fit to address them. 

Understandably, this prompted countless conversations within the fanbase 
regarding the quality of Pokmon titles, but these have also been going on 
within The Pokmon Company itself. Speaking to ComicBook , Utsunomiya was 
asked if the Pokmon series was anchored to a certain schedule which 
influences how often it releases new video games. 

"I think in general, if you look at the past, the path we've taken up until 
now has been this constant release, always regularly releasing products on a 
fairly fixed kind of a cadence, you might say," Utsunomiya replied (via a 
translator). "Always having these products able to be introduced and new 
experiences for our customers, and that's how we've operated up until now. I 
think we're still operating in that way, but there are more and more 
conversations, as the development environments change, about how we can 
continue to do this; while making sure that we're ensuring really quality 
products are also being introduced." 

While Utsunomiya didnt give any indication of what the company could be 
considering implementing as a means of ensuring higher-quality products in 
the future, based on his response, it doesnt sound like game releases are 
going to be slowing down. At the time of writing, were getting closer and 
closer to the release of Pokmon Scarlet and Violet s DLC. Part one, The Teal 
Mask , will launch on September 13, while part two, The Indigo Disk , 
currently has a vague winter 2023 release window.
