You're right, but most of that money comes in as merch. The games and anime are just advertisements for cards, plushies, posters, and Pikachu plastered on every thing that could possibly exist in the known and unknown universe.

The games alone have made like 20 billion dollars

is called effort

This

Then compare that $17b to the $72b the merch and card game have brought them. The games rake in some decent dough, while at the same time serves as advertisements for the main money-maker. Star Wars does the same shit. They added a character to the movies that had 0 plot relevance for the exclusive purpose of selling a chrome storm trooper.

They did it on purpose to spark controversy to get more sales. No publicity is bad publicity.

Just look at swsh sales vs the previous handheld games.

I haven't bought a Pokémon game since Emerald and I never will until Game Freak loses the license.

Yet here you are

And? That's not the "gotcha" you thought it was.

>haha got you I was merely pretending to be retarded

It's what happens when the main audience is female. They have very low standards when it comes to consuming so why even bother putting in the effort?

Don't really care about the game. I want to sniff Penny though.

who cares, nintendo already made their fans literally buy cardboard, it doesn't matter if they are going to create crap or if the quality is low, they will buy it happily.

I win

GF needs to drop the turn based battle system already, make it like an action autobattler with commands or just give you control over the mons.
They can't keep getting away with releasing the same old shit forever, it isn't fair.

My last pokemon game was Platinum, the last one I bought was Gold, I just like to laugh at pokeretards LMOA

What's wrong with this?

People will continue to buy it.
I've had every game up until Ultra Moon, which is where I tapped out. It was real obvious Game Freak realized they can just coast on by and make millions of dollars in sales.
It's not even the fact that its the same Pokemon game - it's just that other Nintendo IPs, such as Mario, Smash Bros, Kirby, Legend of Zelda, etc., have at least tried to mix it up.
Yeah there's Pokemon Legends: Arceus, but how much of that game's design will be present in Scarlet & Violet? 10%, maybe?
Regardless, it will smash sales records, and make Nintendo a bunch of money. Good for them.
