>>53377854And the hilarious thing that you refuse to acknowledge in your rant is that none of those franchises except Yugioh are centered on their merch sales quite as heavily as Pokemon. Pokemon was built on fast food toys and plushies, they are still culturally dominant today and they pull so many times the game's revenue that it's laughable you could compare it to something like Mario which has been fully recognized as a video game franchise from day one. The very games themselves lend to advertising merch - unlike Mario or Zelda where you're platforming through or exploring strange worlds you're collecting colorful critters, go ahead and tell me what you think buying merch is big boy.
>which is why they left the important news to the very endHilarious cope. Is that also why Sleep got 2 sections to itself and the SV DLC didn't even bother to show game footage?
>that same logic Zelda Tears of the Kingdom is only a footnote in Nintendo's eyesAnd this is just ridiculous, YES, you stupid fucking tard, this is what people have been worried about since they saw that trailer because it feels like Nintendo has no confidence in their own major product and it's why more people have been alarmed it's going to be 70$ BOTW DLC.
And the funny thing still is that the Nintendo Direct showed games, not shitty mobile ads, not lifestyle products, but games, because Nintendo is a video game company, and TPC is not.
>Do you see pokemon fans do that? Because I don'tI see it every damn time I come on this board.
I don't even know what you're arguing about anymore, frankly. First you were trying to shit on GF for factors beyond their control, what even is this? A sad attempt to say your childhood game hasn't always been a mediocre driver for plushies?
Just give up, dude. Move onto another franchise if this actually bothers you or makes you have less fun with the games.
