It’s no secret that Square Enix has delivered many great games, from the beloved Kingdom Hearts series to the highly-debated PS3 and PS4 Final Fantasy games. Things do seem fine on the surface, and in some studios they are, Eidos Montreal has been working well on the Tomb Raider games. However, concerning the main branches Square Enix Co.Ltd (the Main Tokyo team) and Square Enix Osaka, behind the scenes from 2006, things were imploding.
The Pokemon Company had retail sales worth of 10.8 billion US Dollars in the year 2023, based on the latest report.
that merch tho.
ridiculous the numbers they pull in, which makes it even worse when i think about the low budget broken games they make. or have made recently
Of course not. That's why I have tem tem because even if it's not the greatest I at least know the indie dev was trying
Great plug for Tem Tem right there. It's not the greatest but at least they tried.... 🤣
@zeek that's right it's as good or better than a pokemon game but they didn't have access to pokemon game money. So it's more of a stain on pokemon company to be in the same ballpark as them
It's time we admit that they were never really that amazing to begin with. The games have never quite reach the same level of awesomeness as the anime. Look at the last few seasons we got to wrap up Ash's adventure, and the new series. 4 lazy Switch games and a remake which was so low effort that you wouldn't be able to tell it's a remake if your weren't told beforehand. The concept of Pokemon will always be awesome, but man the games absolutely suck.

Tell us about it....
I can’t believe this article detailed Square Enix’s history of long development periods and yet never brought up the title that started this predicament, Final Fantasy XII.
Stop that turned based thing non sense, the problem wasn't ever about turned based, the real problem is managment thats what ruined these games. SE focused on FFXIII trilogy(nobody asked for and sequels sales are pathetic) and ditching games like Agito, KH and Versus.
What really happened is Wada and Tabata fault. Wada is the one who is responsible of assigns most of Versus XIII team to help out XIII disaster failure progress. And Tabata was not helping by taking 5 years to finish PSP game that even never released outside Japan. Nomura never got chance to have full development greenlight which totally made things worse. Once Tabata assigned SE went full production so Tabata scratched everything and showed us 2013 trailer which isn't delivered and by his medicore touches he ruined it.
I know some Tabata fanboy will outrage me but these are facts search up for articles and you will find how Tabat was lying and creating waste of potentials contents all along until he resigned and made thongs even worse with lame Episodic DLC system which eventually it cancelled.
