So with the new president being a board member at The Pokemon Company, does this give Pokemon a chance at becoming a first-party Nintendo franchise?

No it's not, as Nintendo has no involvement with the development of mainline Pokemon games. Game Freak works alone.

No demands, they'd have to buy Game Freak's rights out first.

The Pokemon IP is partly owned by Nintendo so yeah it's pretty much a 1P game.

It has been since the beginning of time. Nintendo is one of the owners of TPC. Also, you must be 18 to post on this board

Nintendo owns the IP, but they don't own the developer. Game Freak is not part of Nintendo, they're just under contract.

Except Nintendo doesn't own it.

Game Freak could move on and develop the same base games for another platform, they just couldn't use the names which what Nintendo owns.

The trademarks beyond the logos don't have an associated image so they only own the names for most of it.

How is owning a third of the franchise not being involved

Holy fuck you're retarded. Game Freak doesn't develop every Pokemon game. And MANY first party games are done by outside developers that aren't Nintendo. Smash Bros was developed by HAL, does that make Smash Bros not a first party game?

Pokemon games? No they can't, because Nintendo owns it. They can make other IPs for different platforms like that elephant game they made for the Xbone but Pokemon belongs to Nintendo.

You all misunderstand. Nintendo owns part of the pokemon company, which owns gamefreak.

Quoted By:

Pokemon already is first-party. Nintendo, GF and Creatures all have stake in the Pokemon Company but Nintendo is the sole owner of the IP. It matters none that GameFreak is only a third/second-party developer in this case. Games like Minish Cap or the Mario & Luigi series were developed by third party but are still 1st party Nintendo IPs.

Of course, the analogy doesn't work 100% since GF actually has say in the Pokemon Company. So it's virtually unthinkable that there'd be mainline games without their involvement or at least consent.
