>>45425513From a purely business standpoint, it was a great move, pokemon makes so much money from merchandise. However, that's all it is, a good business decision, but utterly soulless. It lacks any kind of respect for what made the franchise so popular in the first place, the fucking games, TPC is capable of helping Gamefreak hire the best of the best, help them to grow into a truly AAA quality game studio, for fucks sake this is the highest grossing franchise in the world. But they never will, it would be pointless to do so, why invest that much money in making the games fantastic when you can just keep letting them shit out rushed, mediocre games like they have been, because at the end of the day, they still sell well, and even if they don't, the merch is all they need
