So we know that Gamefreak are fucking tired of Pokémon and don’t want to do it anymore as evidenced by their A team making Little Town Hero and leaving Sword & Shield to their B team in addition to the laziness that pervades every aspect of the games, but that leads me to a question;
Why haven’t they contracted another studio to make the games if they’re so sick of it?
They have the money, Gamefreak still owns a third of the entire Pokémon IP so they could afford to contract whoever the fuck they like without needing to turn to Nintendo or Creatures (the two companies that each own another third of the IP) for funding. All the issues surrounding Gamefreak are entirely self imposed, why haven’t they just contracted someone else to do the work then sit back and watch the money pour in while working on something they actually give a fuck about?
