Why do GF's other IPs always flop? How did Pokemon become their only successful work so far?

It almost flopped too. It just came out at the right time and got the right people's attention. Of all those you listed the only ones worth grieving are Pulse and Dozer. Those legitimately had potential. Giga Wrecker, Quinty and Harmoknight definitely deserve more love too but they weren't going to change the world

Pokémon has a better design philosophy, even with the poorer designs it still beats anything that comes out of their dev side projects. Plus all those other games feel more like phone games with no substance other than what you see on the surface.

Pulseman is genuinely cool, I don't think it ever officially released here though so it had no chance to ever get popular

Pokemon getting big as it did was a fluke. GameFreak not going under was an even bigger fluke.

lack of advertising
characters aren’t as marketable
Game Freak sucks at making games for any system more complicated than SNES (look at what happened with the launch of Tembo the Badass Elephant)

Pokemon got a full-force Nintendo marketing campaign. Some of those other games didn't even get a western release.

Apparently Jerry Boy did well enough to warrant a sequel. It only got cancelled cause Sony was the publisher and stopped releasing games on Nintendo hardware (The Playstation was around the corner).

Pokemon only sells because it's Pokemon and has the backing of TPC and Nintendo. Pulseman, Drill Dozer and Harmo Knight are pretty good games though, recommend people try them out.

In North America, it apparently was one of the games offered on the Sega Channel around the time of its initial release. All regions got it on WiiWare years later.

These get little to no advertising at all. Do they even bother? Gamefreak have more than enough resources to shill the hell out of these games if they wanted to, they just choose not to for whatever reason.

Because Pokemon was a true passion project created from the brilliant mind of a severely autistic bug catcher and blessed with the experience of Iwata and Shigeru Miyamoto. Even before Pokemon was released in Japan Nintendo and GameFreak realized they had something special. The other games GF put out just didn't have that same kind of passion behind them. They were side projects in comparison.

Maybe that's why most of the fanbase is nostalgic teens and adults.

nostalgic teens and adults are not enough to carry an entire franchise. Sword and Sheild sold nearly 30 million copies and most people who plaued Pokemon as a kid would never touch those with a 10 foot pole

Pokemon was lucky to get as big as it is. It was all held together with gum and duct tape, had dozens of bugs and other programming mistakes, but just happened to be released in the right place at the right time. Like how Square thought Final Fantasy would be their swan song (hence the name) but became a massive success instead.

Gamefreak had also worked previously for Nintendo with Mario & Wario.

Fun fact, the game's OST was done by Masuda.

Because they're garbage programmers with a lazy work ethic and minimal QC. Tajiri struck a chord with millions of undiagnosed spectrum children, the obsessive hobby spread around, the trend sheep hopped on and off the bandwagon.

Those games only exist so the devs don't have to work on Pokemon 24/7. They aren't meant to be successful, nor do GF expect them to be so.

During an interview from sword and shield, GameFreak officially revelaed they got two teams. The first ones work on Pokémon while the second one is a small team of people trying new things out, getting ideas not fitting with Pokémon out of their head and experimenting with technology.

These IPs listed by you are from this second team. They are not meant to become big new IPs or making any competetion with Pokémon.

Gosh, I think some people are to stupid to put one and one together and actually just listen to what they tell you in interviews....

they make these because they want a successful ip besides pokemon, it just never works out because striking gold twice like that is near impossible and theyre always just going to be known as the pokemon guys forever
