Game Freak making Questionable Decisions isn't New
So, given the state of the modern games, we all like to harp on Game Freak as developers for how they've fallen from grace. However, when you look at what kinds of things they've done in the past, they've always made some questionable decisions, such as:
- Creating the Dark type to counter the issue of Psychic being overpowered in Kanto, and not making any Kanto Pokemon retroactively Dark, leaving Psychic still a problem in many Kanto remakes.
- Having such a problem with Gold and Silver's code that they had to bring in someone outside the company to even get the game's code running.
- Not including new evolutions in the original Diamond and Pearl games. Also, as more of a dishonorable mention, including Mindy.
Maybe I'm being too harsh here- no game company full of imperfect people is going to make every decision perfectly. But there might be a pattern here. Thoughts?

Also the DP fire type issue and forced on exp share. Still fairly few issues in the older games (excluding glitches). Also with the psychic thing, did they even anticipate remakes when they made dark? I feel like part of the reason they exist was due to gen 2 to 3 transfers not being possible and needing all Kanto pokemon available somehow
