>>39189367>I've seen what's happened to Star WarsStar Wars can't compare to Pokemon because Pokemon is the single biggest media franchise in all of human history thus far. Star Wars was a cultural phenomenon before Disney destroyed it. Pokemon transcends mere phenomena as a way of life and a requirement of human survival, just as water is to the Earth and the sun is to the plants. It's inevitable.
That being said, it is still possible for this franchise to one day crash and burn as Game Freak continues to double down on their extreme laziness. Pokemon can keep raking in billions over the next several years, but even the tallest trees will fall as all things come to an end. Nintendo should just buy the rest of Pokemon from Masuda and ditch Game Freak to die.
