>Why?Because TPC needs to release merchandise at a yearly basis. What GF contributes to the total income by virtue of vidya sales is not as important.
>Why?Because most of the revenue generated by Pokemon can be attributed to merchandise.
>Why not pour all that revenue into making a game that looks like a AAA title then?The games requiring measly money to be made is one of the reasons why Pokemon generates as much income.
>Wouldn't they get more revenue if they actually put effort into the game-making process? No. But let's assume GF takes 4-5 years to create Pokemon games and gets a proper budget. Things would remain the same.
>Why?Because people in GF barely know how to code. The reason why is due to the company's origins. Pokemon was the result of a project made by a literal autist and his inexperienced colleagues in a country that was far behind the rest of the world in the computer science field. There's a reason Gen 1 is so fucking buggy. People usually bring up Iwata's involvement in G/S as a praise-worthy achievement while it should tell you just how incompetent GF was at the time.
>Why not just replace them? Because of seniority culture. A group of people that weren't experts managed to make a global hit, Japan values the work of the previous generation way too much to just ditch them. And that generation was in charge of passing down their knowledge to the next one, as a result, their sky-ceiling is limited. Hiring actually competent and experienced people would clash with the teachings of the older generation, which is a no.
In the end, nothing can be done about it. At the very least GF used to try their best despite their limited capabilities and development time but why should they bother when the manchild-ridden fandom stuck in gen 1 doesn't deserve anything better?
