Its most likely unsustainable gamble that could hurt maybe whatever smaller devs are tied to bigger publishers betting the little guy's farms on this model. It didn't really fly when it was MMO subscriptions outside of WoW and maybe one of the online Final Fantasies, I don't see it working for anyone that isn't Overwatch or Fortnite. And that's not even getting into the possibility of governments wising up to lootboxes being gambling aimed at kids. This could end in a big legal battle, at least with the EU, that these companies will most likely lose. Either in paying taxes or losing markets in countries.

Probably because Nintendo is deathly afraid of that scenario and gives them a lion's share of power that other companies in the Nintendo family don't have. Pokemon is the biggest thing next to Mario and they don't want to let that phenomenon escape to leave a giant loving money void for their consoles. Even if there are still some pokemon likes being made such as Yo-Kai Watch, Game Freak is the King of legitimizing remakes, different version sales, newer different version sales, stupid overpriced peripherals gating content of a single mon, and the franchise with the perfect compulsion abusing tag line of "Gotta catch em all". Because Red and Blue existed before the microtransaction.
