Nintendo is actually the sole owner of the Pokemon trademark despite sharing ownership of The Pokemon Company with Game Freak and Creatures Inc. (Which Nintendo owns a percentage of, effectively increasing its 1/3rd stake in TPC). Walking away would be nearly impossible. There is zero danger to Nintendo there. As far as GaS, its a bubble waiting to collapse. Shareholders in AAA publishers want to see ever-increasing sales numbers and its a diminishing-returns situation. There's only so much money available in the consumer base. ComposerGuy fucked around with this message at 19:14 on Dec 12, 2018 |

OneMoreTime posted:EDIT: Nintendo sold those shares after Microsoft bought out the remaining 51%. But even then, they retained a lot of IP that Rare developed (basically anything that was vaguely Nintendo related.) Gamefreak also does make third part games on the side, such as Tembo the Badass Elephant and something called Gigawrecker. It's more the Pokemon IP can't walk away. Yeah. Nintendo's 100 percent ownership of the trademark essentially means Pokemon can't go anywhere.
