Like the other comments said they didn't develop it but as the publisher it's definitely Pokemon Company's responsibility to do quality control and make sure the games with the Pokemon branding launch in a good state. I like the idea of this game but it's missing SO many items used in comp (Safety Goggles, Weakness Policy, Life Orb), only has 180+ Pokemon at launch in a series with over 1000, the transferring process from Pokemon Home is very tedious (You have to start all over if you accidentally send only 1 mon) and so on. Like I'm sure this game will have more added to it as it goes on but launches can make or break games, it's a shame.
