>>41317595Pokemon legally cannot exist without Gamefreak unless Nintendo buys them first. Why would Nintendo spend money on a company that already exclusively sells their only valuable IP on Nintendo platforms? The only reason why is if Gamefreak shits the bed so badly that it impacts console sales numbers, which hasn't happened yet.
SwSh are absolutely disasters, I'm not arguing they're not, but things are going to have to get a lot worse than this before Nintendo shells out hundreds of millions of dollars for it.
