>>45997550Nintendo don't own Game Freak kid, the founders (ie, Masuda, Sugimori and Tajiri) never sold shares to them. It's why they were able to sell Tembo on Steam - they funded that exclusively themselves as part of Gear Project, thus didn't have to rely on Nintendo platforms with it.
Whereas Pokémon's budget comes from Nintendo, thus they're restricted to what Nintendo wants to release it on (exclusivity is what stops them, they sell more consoles that way).
