>>39790553I don't think "less popular" is the right phrase, I think you mean "if Pokemon had less money, the game quality would be better".
TPCi would be more inclined to put in effort if they needed money, whereas now they are at the top and don't care about making mistakes since they feel like slapping their brand name on anything will make a good profit. They don't mind losing out on a few dollars if that doesn't end up being true.
Less popularity =/= a desire to be profitable or good, as many indie games are also low quality games made cheaply. A passion project is made in hopes that it will be financially successful, not necessarily popular with more than a rich cult following.
