I thought Nintendo more or less did so anyway, but Pokemon was weird because the IP is jointly controlled by GF/Nintendo, Creatures Inc. and TPCi

No, it just means we'll get some Pokemon-based villagers in the new Animal Crossing, like the Zelda villagers in New Leaf

They let him do in the first place, and it sold over 16 million in 1.5 months, so I don't think they care.

Nintendo already has plenty of control over Pokemon. That's not why Game Freak is moving closer to them. It's for operational efficiency.

It's their biggest money maker at this point. The execs just probably want to throw more parties with hookers and blow.

>retards STILL not understanding Nintendo won't buy Pokémon as they don't want to have to handle it on top of their in-house IP's
They earn plenty from how it's set up without having to worry about it currently, what makes you think they're going to want to undertake complete control? Grow the fuck up you retarded little child, they have an absolute GOLDMINE - a series as profitable as Pokémon that all they need to do with is publish the games made for their systems but outside studios.

Even that wouldn't suffice, they'd need to bring Iwata back from his grave just so he could shake Masuda off like a baby to get him on the right track.

Bullshit, catering to you manchildren would actually sell less, because it's not taking into consideration the kid/casual majority market. The fact it's outsold every normie franchise's first year totals in 3 months indicates this was the correct decision, instead of breaking series tradition and following the ageing-out past generations instead oif seeking the newest younger audience as per usual.

Not everything is about sales numbers. Nintendo takes pride in their games and want them all to be up to par

It sold in 1.5 months what took other games years to sell. There is no way it could have sold better.

And they never saw Pokémon as "theirs", considering they didn't make it or even think it had any chance of success, given they spat it out in February dead air, instead of waiting until a better time in the year for releases. As long as it sells and continues to sell hardware on top (which the series does by the truckload still), Nintendo are happy. Shit, they even agreed to dexit, knowing it'd ensure Game Freak wouldn't be risking missing a deadline going forward.

Nintendo allows TPC to set unrealistic deadlines that consistently result in underwhelming flagship releases. Why do you think they'd complain about it THIS time?

>"unrealistic"
3 years is more than enough time for them to make their games, considering even when they had been taking gapo years, they still made a game on a 3 year cycle. The problem is the jump to models fucked that whole cycle up, started impacting the development of the games. All because they were adhering to their vow of no 'mon left behind. The problem is you thinking this is absolute and the machine that is Pokémon can be stopped, even for a year extra to ensure this happens, when Game Freak chief of all know this just isn't possible. Something had to give and frankly I'm not surprised it was the roster. Devs don't like having to not implement their ideas or plans for a game over other factors.

Gens 4 and 5 both needed 4 years, with 4 being delayed because the original schedule (presumably 3 years) wasn't enough.
You're right that the jump to 3D probably fucked things up even worse, but if the cycle were 4 years instead of 3 then we'd at least be getting finished games.

No. All core games in each gen after 2 sold ~16m in their lifetime, and were on platforms with bigger userbases than the Switch. This thing sold that much on a smaller userbase in less than two months. Once the DLC is out, it may very well become the best selling gen in the IPs history.

Pokemon is fucked, and /vp/ helped.

Pokemon does use one of Nintendo's engines. Game Freak just Frankensteined it to make it compatible with their existing stuff.

No, IV got delayed as they couldn't get the wi-fi working, took them a whole year to unfuck it. But they had the spin-offs to shit out to keep the kiddies interested until they fixed it, unlike currently, where the spin-offs are largely dead and even when they announce "new" spin-offs it's either a sequel to a game with a hollywood movie based off it, or is a flat remake of a GBA game (eg SNES level game) on Switch.
