What is the chance after this entire fucking shitstorm and hopefully Sword and Shield getting mediocre review scores, that it forces Nintendo's hand to at least bring a competent 2nd party or 1st party studio on as a "Co-Developer" for the next Pokemon generation?
One thing you can give Nintendo generally credit for is that even if they have a franchise that sells well, they usually don't like "Shit" and "Qualtity Controversy" associated with any of their IP's. Look at Metroid, game sells at most a few hundred thousand copies and they've just fired the entire team for MP3 and restarted the entire thing with Retro just for quality assurance.
