That's the thing. Ganefreak needs to up the bar because eventually if they ignore feedback long enough they will be hit with a disappointing release that doesnt sell gangbusters. At that point the IP will be given to a new studio and Ganefreak will be out of work and have a shit portfolio to get new work. These games sell because they are Pokemon games. Without the IP, Ganefreak will be up shits creek

That can't happen, as Gamefreak owns a partial share of Pokemon, along with Nintendo.

They'll still have to work to improve things because it'll affect their bottom line enough.

That's right...I forgot about that. Do you know the share percentage?

It’s 1/3 each, between Nintendo, GameFreak, and Creatures.
