I used to be starkly adamant that only Game Freak should handle the main series because they know that series best. But in light of recent developments and the reveal of how grossly-incompetent their programming is, my opinion is starting to change.
I still think GF should absolutely be in the lead as far as designing the Pokemon games (though I won't lie, they have also been pretty lazy on that front as well), but perhaps outsource the programming to a more talented studio or even collab with one. Probably one of Nintendo's since the main series games only ever release on Nintendo devices anyway.
After over 20+ years since GRBY, you'd think that GF would have improved a lot since with their methods. Clearly they haven't. I don't know if the pressure of releasing new generations has anything to do that, but I earnestly feel that GF should expand as a company and create more original projects. Especially now that Pokemon is losing momentum.
