    Pokemon is the highest earning franchise of all time. We do pay for it. Now, where are the Pokemon games? I don’t see them.

    And by Pokemon game I don’t mean scarlet/violet/Arceus, those are prototypes that are lower quality than single-dev indie games.

    Nintendo has more than enough money for developing games, everything else is greed.

      Nintendo doesn’t develop Pokémon. That’s Gamefreak. I agree Pokémon games are shitty games, and I don’t understand why people buy them. But most games made by Nintendo is usually quite good. You might not like the genre or whatever, but Nintendo games are usually pretty bug free with decent performance and pretty good gameplay. Personally I feel like Nintendo does deliver on quality most of the time.

      And yes, Nintendo are greedy like all public companies in a capitalist society. They have an obligation to shareholders to earn as much money as possible. And if they don’t make money doing something, they will stop, because they are not making games out the goodness of their little hearts. At least Nintendo doesn’t try to make every game into some micro transaction hell like Ubisoft, EA, Blizzard, Epic Games.
