With merchandise sales and pokemon go. You can literally see how the profit was fucking low because movies bombed, anime bombed and then go hype happened

27 million copies in five months between BDSP and Legends Arceus alone. They managed to prove they can release two games almost simultaneously and not have them cannibalize each other.

Anyone play Unite?

they've been releasing two games simultaneously for decades

Two different games, not two versions of one game.

it's a kids game that constantly appeals to younger kids but also has those who have grown up to keep buying as well

different titles = different games
different versions are just updates to the same game with v1 being the base release

I tried
Playing a MOBA with controller sucks
PC when

Play with emulator.

>20% profit
So TPC is incompetent.

Then user meant three games.
You know what they mean, autist.

Why is there a second lucario in the back looking slightly pissed?

pokemon is no different than a sports team now

it doesn't matter how objectively bad it is, there are legions of fans who have made liking pokemon part of their personality and will dutifully purchase whatever and support whatever and nothing short of a complete meltdown will change that.

>oh yes they are incompetent because I the average Any Forumstard know that you can easily double that, why would literal ceos know this lol
>oh you mean merchandising, anime, movies, collaboration all cost money how can this be!

Why are these games so braindead easy? I am just playing it for the porn now because the game itself is so boring.

Because the target group are children and everyone. It‘s the same as asking why are not every mario level as hard as the champions road. Also they are kinda restricted by the pvp and their base stat of pokemon. You can‘t let salamence tank 3 ice beams when it dies from one in pvp.

Also I do find them difficult or at least having some difficult spikes. Most difficult ones are
>gen 5
>gen 7
>8th gymn leader, lance and red in gsc/hgss

these REALLY look like fakemon

Merchandise. It has always been merchandise.

Played it when it first came out. Every match I did ended up turning in to a snowball victory for one side.
There comes a point where you feel like you are beating up literal children. Just the way they move/attack screams they have no fucking idea what they are doing.

It’s kind of boring, I tried playing it a few few weeks ago and every match was basically the same thing

Because Pokemon is one of the biggest IPs in the world.

It's joined(replaced) things like Loony Toons and Disney in terms of generational appeal. You have full grown adults who are nostalgic for it and you have kids who are getting in to it. They are fun simple games. For me they are the games I play when there is nothing else to really play atm and want to just relax.
