>>42242914>>42242928>>42242935Pokemon has entered a phase of corporate complacency. Moving to mobile exclusively would be efficient, but not provide max profits. They put Pokemon on consoles because people associate Pokemon with games, and games with consoles. Boom, people will buy it. However, they no longer have to try to make a good core product. Pokemon is turning into a lifestyle brand, much like Disney Star Wars; Hell, TPC has it's own press conferences, separate from Nintendo Directs. The core product can be shit, but as long as the merch sells, it doesn't matter.
