>>45028318It's Nintendo as publisher, ordering these games off Game Freak in regular intervals anon, but delude yourself however you wish. They do stand to earn the biggest cut of the franchise' earnings each year, considering each new game GF release earns them an increase in console sales, the proceeds of which do not get touched by any other hand, on top of their cut of the games AND TPC's profits.
Also, the fact you don't understand TPCi is nothing more than the western marketing wing of TPC and that BOTH are owned three-way between Game Freak, Nintendo and Creatures Inc. in 2020 is both fucking hilarious and infinitely rage-inducing, that there's still retarded children on this board, trying to argue a series they don't even have the basic understanding of how it works or is organised is trying to dictate how that series should cater to them, as if they're actually worth a fuck to anyone involved in the thing.
