Ishihara thought the Switch was going to fail, remember? Not only do I remember, I also remember Game Freak ignoring his dinosaur take to fully invest in the system. Ishi funded spin-offs when they were dirt cheap to shit out. When they stopped being dirt-cheap, he cheaped out and regressed to mobile like the other 2d studios that used to release shit on Nintendo systems.
