I signed them, but I'm a bit cynical about any petition actually doing anything to change GF's mind. :c

Even if it doesn't change GF's mind, it can still bring attention to the issue. Game of Thrones fans made a petition to remake season 8. The petition even said that they knew the cause was fruitless, but they just wanted a way for fans to express their displeasure with that shitty season. Thanks to all the noise people made through that, negative reviews and other methods, the show's flaws were brought to light to the general public.I signed them, but I'm a bit cynical about any petition actually doing anything to change GF's mind. :c
How do you know they don’t have plans already? They made one announcement about one thing. There is no reason to assume they don’t have a plan in place. And I know that means that they might not have one, but until we know more about everything coming out, we shouldn’t jump the gun.

I hadn't seen the compression comments because I had read it much earlier and didn't post until now, but yes it is a pretty moot point. Trying to give Game Freak the benefit of the doubt, but of course that's never really advisable lolThis has been discussed in the main thread. It's been pretty much rendered moot by a counter Reddit post, which actually accounts for compression and reduces the LGPE size to 831KB per model. If you multiply that by 1000 which is Masuda's estimate for total number of species+forms, then it's 0.83 GB. You can multiply that by 2 if Game Freak don't know how to resize models sensibly, and it will still be just 1.6 GB. The rest of the game doesn't exactly scream Breath of The Wild, does it?
Also, I don't see what's wrong with patches if a cartridge isn't big enough, or why 32 GB is off-limits when Dragon Quest Monsters and Witcher 3 use it. Cloud-basing gaming is an extreme solution.
After learning how Iwata's amazing programming skills basically saved the series I actually wouldn't be surprised if they didn't have the ability to properly compress the models but hey they've done it once with LGPE...I mean it could be part of the motivation, but GF are so incompetent as programmers that they had to constantly outsource things to the late great Iwata, so it's a mixture of practicality and incompetence I guess you could say? For instance, Maxing in Pokemon SwSh has seperate models for each Pokemon instead of pumping up the Pokemon's model or shrinking the size of the stadium. My husband says that shrinking the size of the stadium would pretty much create the same effect and be more practical given that Maxing can only take place in certain areas - so far either in Gym Stadiums or the Red Void of Max Raids - which would make shrinking the background relative to the Pokemon models even more space-saving.

Maybe Masuda should step down ¯\(ツ)/¯
