It's seriously amazing with how little effort they could salvage the quality of the franchise, it'd take less than what indie studios do for a crumb of the relative profits.
Fanatics still act like GF and Pokemon are a garage operation working on a shoe string budget and not the actual fact that it's the biggest franchise in the entire fucking world.
