What officially declares RSE to take place at the same time as RBY? The only thing I'm finding is a line from Steven in HGSS, which only mentions RSE happening before HGSS. RBY/FRLG are three years before GSC/HGSS, there's time for the Master Ball to have been developed and RSE to occur.
It's, last I checked, the official Game Freak timeline. Please don't make me dig up the old timeline/temporal mechanics arguments I've been in...
They didn't expect complaints in removing several major aspects of gameplay, but they fully expect complaints about keeping a timeline straight, to the point where they'd forego gameplay elements to make the timeline easier to manage?
Yeah. They didn't expect complaints on lacking major main-series aspects of gameplay in a Pokemon Go game to crop up; only a few major aspects of gameplay from that subfranchise have actually been removed. And given they have their own official timeline for the games after all of the timeline arguments that cropped up, I would say they care if only to save themselves headaches.
Certainly, but this is usually from ignoring fan reception, not from caring too much about potential complaints.
Or from the ways they've tried to fix complaints at times.
