>When it comes to business, the one thing I've always said no to is the act of buying Pokemon with money,
>That is something that has been said since the days Tajiri was completely involved in everything.
>Part of the Pokemon worldview is catching and holding the creatures in players' pockets.
>The way players obtain and hold Pokemon must remain consistent from game to game
The reason being, is because it's one of things that could ruin the worldview of Pokemon,
>I believe the reason we don't simply commercialize, is that it's a way of protecting the brand, and for this purpose, we have the specialty company called The Pokemon Company.
>Therefore, suppose we sell a Pokemon for 100 yen, then we must prepare something that is worthy of that 100 yen, along with a reasonable consent for doing so.

if someone would be nicely to translate the full interview...
