>>39250977The main series games bring in the least amount of profit. GF has lesser say because they make less money for Pokémon. TPC focuses on other aspects to actually grow the brand. The anime brings in more money than the games, so the games have to accommodate the anime's release schedule. They are produced at the same time, so GF cannot delay the game.
The only real question is who is responsible for the rushing? If GF is encouraged to hire freelancers, but they are just too stubborn, then it is GF. But if they are rushed by TPC, then it's TPC's fault. We will probably never get an answer to this, so until then idiots will fucking with Masuda. I am pretty sure that the biggest media franchise is just like smaller media franchises, so my money is on TPC fucking around. It's weird seeing 4chan being completely oblivious to what huge international companies are capable of.
