TPC are irrelevant to the production of core Pokémon, beyond localising the scripts and handling the marketing for them while Game Freak make the things and Nintendo front the dev budget for them. And Nintendo order core Pokémon games to supplement their own in-house offerings and third party releases for the support of their consoles. Remember "likonime" was told to pull their neck in and not do an island chain as pokémon shangri-la, if they had the pull you assume they wouldn't have to bow to Game Freak wishes.
