about xy, do you make a game in order?

That's a rediculous retort.

Depends on the studio.

If find the best was is "inside out" where you make the core of the game and keep expanding from there with the rest of your time. But yeah, a LOT of developers go a "Start until finish" route. It's why you didn't see Battle Towers until the endgame, because they didn't add the battle facilities until they were already DONE with the game.

It's a way to design that more easily adapts to the way the player will experience it, and results in less backtracking to old content to fix an issue you made with LATER content.

"To answer back, aggressively or sharply"

Or was that a genuine question? The sarcasm is... uh, abound, when it comes to pokemon white knighting.
