We can only hope that the engine from Legends Arecus will be feature rich and complete for Pokemon 10th gen.

The fact that Scarlett and Violet are not polished is ludicrous. They are most likely the same engine as Sword and Shield.

The Legends game was awesome for a Pokemon game. It definitely has a more modern feel than what we recently got. Still, the “Legends engine” was still missing a ton of features like abilities. I’m certain Legends was just a demo for the brand new engine.

I also doubt GameFreak as a developer studio. Imagine having the resources behind the world’s biggest cross-media franchise and your video games look and feel outdated by two decades. At least Legends Arecus was up there with Monster Hunter Tri (while lacking Arecus was very fun to be fair).
