>>56346617>>56346680>GameFreakYou mean The Pokemon Company International. TPC is the entity that controls the budgets and overall direction of what Pokemon games get made outside of GameFreak. GameFreak has only one third of the control over TPC, with Nintendo and Creatures Inc. controlling the other two thirds. TPC essentially operates independently when it comes to non-GameFreak projects. Think of it this way:
GameFreak: designs new pokemon and develops most pokemon video games
Nintendo: Publishes and owns pokemon IP
Creatures: Helps with development, does 3D modelling, and develops the card game
Basically anything outside of that is done by someone else at TPC, or someone they contract, like Genius Sonority or ILCA. GameFreak and Creatures don't do much besides provide some documentation and models for those games.
