Why is there so much implied hostility between Nintendo and Game Freak lately? Spin offs strictly mobile? Negative press? Strangest part is that it’s all coming from Game Freak’s side

Game Freak is probably experiencing fatigue from developing Pokemon games constantly for the last 9 years and wants to start prioritizing original projects. The reason Sword and Shield look so bad is because Game Freak literally does not want to make Pokemon anymore because they're burnt out.

Game Freak is tired of being forced to shit out Pokemon games every year for the sake of selling toys, they want to make more original IPs

Then why not just hand it to another studio? There are likely loads of studios very eager to try their hands at it, and it'd allow them to focus on Town.

nigga do you understand how much money pokemon makes
Julian Powell
This exactly. Just rent the license out to another dev for a year if you want to focus on other things

Pokemon is literally the highest-selling franchise not just in gaming, but in all of media
Game Freak doesn't to hand it over for obvious reasons, but they do want freedom to work on other games too

What are you talking about? The Pokemon Company handles Spinoffs, and considering Pokemon GO has probably made twice as much money as all the other spin offs combined, they'd be retards to not focus on mobile.
Nintendo is pretty hands off with Pokemon, all they do is publish, but they still own a lot of the franchise.
Because unlike TCPI and Nintendo, the mainline games is really Game Freaks only source of income.
Nolan Lewis
Do you think if Gamefreak let Nintendo themselves develop the next Pokemon game the quality would increase? They clearly don't want to make the games anymore, and I'm sure Nintendo would welcome the IP with open arms.

Gamefreak is shitting the bed and pissing off their most hardcore fans
All while not telling Nintendo that they where about to fuck up this big
I hope that Nintendo gets rid of Gamefreak and hands Pokemon mainline game development to actually competent devs
