>>55714412>Pokemon is the main attractionPossibly for most people, but not for devs imo.
Overall they'll tend to work on the stuff they like, and probably come from the competitive/modding/creative niches of their respective games
But in Pokemon's case:
>compfags play showdown, or moved to the switch to play official GF formats 5 years ago, without looking back>95% of pokemon modders are working on gen 3 or BDSP hacks (the 3DS era of pokemon is the most annoying to mod iirc)>There is no equivalent to the Mario Kart custom track community for 3DS pokemon gamesOn top of that for MK7, MK8 and Splatoon, the server more or less is one matchmaker function and one glorified hashtable for ratings
The most advanced MK7 mod deployed active 24/7 active servers based on early pretendo work, a year or two ago
Things are more complex for pokemon and the extra complexity comes from the trading part that has a more casual audience and is less likely to generate devs
