Re: Game Freak Adds Item To Pokémon Sword And Shield That "Doesn't Exist" Yet

@johnvboy the games are fine? So recycled assets, poor animations etc are fine? The FPS drops, online multiplayer, trading system etc are all awful as well. Nintendo needs to drop Gamefreak as the developers and give the series to someone who knows how to program a game and build a complete story. They have more control over the IP then Gamefreak does due to the Pokemon Trademarks being owned by Nintendo themselves. The others also own the copyright but Nintendo has more authority

@johnvboy what common sense? The Pokémon Company International, a subsidiary of The Pokémon Company in Japan, manages the property outside of Asia and is responsible for brand management, licensing, marketing, the Pokémon Trading Card Game, the animated TV series, home entertainment, and the official Pokémon website.

Does it list Video Games as something TPC manages? The answer is no. TPC is owned by Nintendo, Gamefreak and Creatures. The main line games are made by Game Freak so the blame falls on them. They should have worked on making SwSh a better game instead of focusing on trash like Little town hero

@HydroTendonMan The Pokémon Company International, a subsidiary of The Pokémon Company in Japan, manages the property outside of Asia and is responsible for brand management, licensing, marketing, the Pokémon Trading Card Game, the animated TV series, home entertainment, and the official Pokémon website.

They have nothing to do with the mainline games and TPC is a company that Nintendo, Gamefreak and Creatures all 3 own 32% each in. Gamefreak is to blame on this since they wasted their time making Little Town Hero over making sure Pokemon SwSh had some serious upgrades

@Tsu They were making money off of the IP regardless by using a website to advertise it. All of their ads were paying for that website and anything else they wanted to use the money for. Not to mention they were using copyrighted assets, characters and concepts. They should have named the tool something else and used fanmade mons

@redivgamer90 Nintendo owns the most of the Pokemon IP. They own the Trademark to it themselves, they have 33% of the copyright as well sharing it evenly with Gamefreak and Creatures as well as all three of them being the parent company of The Pokemon Company who just managed and distributes the games and TV Shows

@CrazedCavalier you are wrong on TPC owning Pokemon. All they do is manage the IP. It was created as a joint venture between the Copyright owners Nintendo, Gamefreak and Creatures Inc. with each of them owning 33% of the Copyright. However Nintendo owns the Trademark of Pokemon and all of its creatures names on its own. Nintendo completely owns the rights to the games

Re: Nintendo Is Now More Valuable Than Sony Thanks To Pokémon GO

@Boerewors Nintendo owns 33% of The Pokemon Company alongside both Gamefreak and Creatures as they are all founding members of TPC. Nintendo also owns a majority stake in Creatures as well plus they own the trademarks to all pokemon names etc. As well as having some stakes in Niantic

Re: Analysts Wonder If Super Mario Can Save Nintendo

@Raien Monster Hunter 4 being made by a 3rd party but Xenoblade Chronicles is made by a studio Nintendo fully owns so it's a 1st party game. 2nd party is a company that makes games because they are partially owned by the Publisher or have a contract. Camelot Software Planning is a 2nd party developer and HAL Laboratory is one as well for Nintendo. Game Freak could be considered one for Pokemon
