It’s even crazier when you consider how much older Hello Kitty, Mickey Mouse, and Star Wars are compared to Pokémon. Pokémon not only out sold and continues to sell, but it topped them all just within a few decades.
@@Javeton thats the reason why people can't stop buying them because they gotta catch 'em all until Devs run out of ideas or retired
Probably because I have a drawer full of cute pokemon shirts and my kids even play it with me now
@@vu1pix manchild
Going from Pocket Monsters to this is quite insane.
Wait, Hello Kitty is that big? Aren't there like 100s of other popular brands for young children nowadays, I haven't heard it be relevant to anyone these days
I love the story of Porygon
During the development of Pokemon someone asked Masuda what he was working on and he said he was making a game for the Gameboy to which the person laughed and said he should make something with polygons
and so he did
And then Cyber Soldier Porygon happened…
Oh wow, people were dumbfounded with the brand new shiny tech of the moment, even back then.
@@marcoasturias8520 Going from SNES to N64 was the biggest graphical leap ever
@@marcoasturias8520 way way more then
Ooooooooooof
Interesting, didn't realize Red/Blue/Yellow was still the best-selling entry. Sakurai mentioned in one of his videos that the first Kirby game is also still the best-selling in the series. Those Game Boy titles were doing numbers!
Numbers yeeeeeheeeee Yessirski
Gameboy was cheap world wide due to how old it was. Game boy pocket was out when red/blue released. Pokemon was like 35USD in Australia at launch.
Yeah red/blue 1st most sold
Sword/shield 2nd place
I remember for Christmas I got red,blue, and yellow all on the same day without asking for them all. So that’s why sales were so high
I wonder whether RBY's sales figures include the entire time period from release to present, or just around the time when RBY cartridges were manufactured and sold? If it includes time up until the present, then the more recent re-release of RBY on the 3DS Virtual Console should be considered.
The same can be said for GSC sales figures, given their 3DS VC re-releases.
I am a Nintendo fan since 1986. Now 41 years old. Been playing as a Professional TCG player for Pokémon these last 5 years, going to participate already my 3rd Championships Regional (Anaheim 2018, San Diego 2019 & San Diego 2023?). Have a workshop in which I teach to the public how to play TCG, because of this, got an invite to UCSD: University of California San Diego and promote this task. This is what Nintendo and Pokémon have done for me during my Life! So grateful! Salutes from Tijuana, Baja California, México.
Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Contemplate how the Roman empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. - Revelation 3:20
Revelation has been unfolding since Jesus died. The Popes have claimed to be equal to God and set themselves in Jesus' place (antichrist(s)). Vatican City (Which is its own nation BTW) have risen up to fulfill the role of the false prophet
Regarding the man of lawlessness or antichrist, 2 Thessalonians 2:4 says “Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” The restrainer that the Apostle Paul was referring to in 2 Thessalonians was the Western Roman Emperor, who held back the Popes from taking power. Once the last Western Roman Emperor was removed from power in 476 AD, the Pope was given civil and ecclesiastic authority over Rome; healing the deadly head wound of the beast in Revelation 13, as they took the Emperors title of Pontifex Maximus, leader of the church and state.
“We may according to the fullness of our power, dispose of the law and dispense above the law. Those whom the Pope of Rome doth separate, it is not a man that separates them but God. For the Pope holdeth place on earth, not simply of a man but of the true God.” (Source: “Decretals of Gregory IX,” Book 1, chapter 3.)
Pope Pius V blasphemed, “The Pope and God are the same, so he has all power in Heaven and earth.” (Source: Pope Pius V, quoted in Barclay, Cities Petrus Bertanous Chapter XXVII: 218.)
Pope Leo XIII declared, “We hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty.” (Source: Pope Leo XIII Encyclical Letter, June 20, 1894)
The antichrist sea beast of Revelation points to the office of the papacy, the Popes of Rome, who controlled the Roman beast for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 AD.
Daniel 7:25 says “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.” The Popes of Rome spoke against Elohim and proclaimed to be God. They reigned for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 AD. during which they caused tens of millions of saints to be killed.
The Pope’s title is Vicar of Christ, which in Latin is ‘Vicarius Filii Dei’, and equates numerically to the number 666
Kouichi Ooyama, one of the founders of the Pokemon TCG, was also the art director for Earthbound.
The Pokémon Company mostly operating separately is part of the reason why you don't see Pokémon cross over with the rest of Nintendo outside of Smash very often. They can weirdly iffy about that kind of stuff.
Which is more shocking when you realize that Pokemon did a small crossover with Splatoon with one of Splatoon's splatfest. Splatoon is a relatively new IP so you would think TPC would only allow Pokemon to cross over with long term mainstays like Mario or Zelda.
@@Astromontana Splatoon is insanely huge in Japan, for the youth pretty much as popular as Pokemon. As well as that, a lot of Splatfests are sponsored- Splatfests can be used as advertising, essentially.
@@Astromontana That makes sense no? The Splatfests have often acted as advertisement for other properties on several occasions.
@@manuelalbertoromero9528 An advertisement is still a crossover. What you said made 0 sense.
Pokémon used to be able to until the Pokémon Company came into existence. After 2001, you saw very little mention of Pokémon in Nintendo’s marketing, and their E3 2002 presence was a small spot at the BACK of Nintendo’s booth
When he said “single player game with major cooperative and competitive elements” is a main foundation it really blew my mind. That simple idea turn into Pocket Monsters which turned into the behemoth of games, media, and merch we know today
Am very glad to see this clarified for people. Too often people have criticised Nintendo for Pokemon's reduced pokedex, DLC practices, and poor performance on the Switch.
Those criticisms might have been fair, but only if they are directed at the ones that made such decisions.
Frankly some of these issues are likely with input from Nintendo. Especially pricing.
They get a cut of the pie.
@@internetguy7319 People need to just accept that gaming is an expensive hobby. lol
Nowadays, Nintendo owns all the trademarks (name, logo, character names), though, which effectively means they can veto anything they don't approve of. So they're certainly not blameless when it comes to these issues.
@@Christopher-md7tf Exactly. Nintendo is to blame too with anything related to the franchise games wise, not just GF. Like seriously, I hate when some people say that Pokémon isn't a Nintendo franchise at all when it absolutely is.
@@markellhawthorne2921 seriously lmao. I’ve never seen so many people complain so much about something that is ultimately just a hobby
With Jon and Masahiro Sakurai, there is an unusualy high amount of Nintendo history videos being made right now and I'm here for it^^

Glad to see John dive into the arcane tangles of Pokemon's existence
One of the biggest reasons that people love nintendo, and nintendo adjacent companies is not brand loyalty, its the stories of the people behind-- its like legends that we tell each other: miyamoto's childhood exploring forests, tajiri's love of bugs, the loneliness of moving away from home for eguchi, ito's feelings of childhood and growing up, and many others. The games are games, sure but the reason they are games is cuz people wanted to fulfill an specific wish and share it with others. The case is the same for many other companies, but nintendo somehow attracted this specific people.

Jon, you're the only reason I'm even subscribed to this channel. Keep up the great work. Pokémon is a truly special and unique franchise, with its history of connections with some of the industry's finest people, Satoru Iwata, Shigesato Itoi...All of the combined talents, experience and love poured into Pokémon's inception certainly shows. Like it or not, this is rightfully the largest multimedia franchise, and, as such, it will go on to outlast all of us.
I wonder what the next 10 Generations or so will bring?
Pokemon's history is very fascinating and Jon did a great job outlining it.
Wow I never knew game freak started as a magazine and that they faced the very real prospect of them closing their doors for good before the release of pokemon. Also good lord are the rights and shares to this IP in a strangely tangled web. But hey it's going strong today.
@@FreightmareFTW Okay, but you need to teach me how to do that kickass Sticks to Snakes spell Moses used first
I really enjoyed this video; I’ve always wondered about the complicated relationship between Pokémon and Nintendo, so this was very informative. I’d love to see one about Kirby and HAL Laboratory since there’s a similarly odd relationship between them and Nintendo.
I don't usually comment, but what an informative, well-spoken video about pokemon! The relationship between Nintendo, Game Freak and Creatures wasn't something I was curious about before I watched this, but so many decisions and Pokemon Company staff makes so much sense now! Thanks for producing such a great video :D looking forward to other deep dives in the future
Despite knowing a lot about the series, I still learned new things, and recalled some I did forget!
Thank you for this informative work
Chuck your face in the thumbnails, Jon. Being a group channel, everybody has their favourite characters, so it being clear which personality is at the fore is a benefit.
If you like the content then what does it matter who's presenting it?
Thank you for all your recent Nintendo explainer videos Jon. They're brilliant! It's really useful to know where all our different Nintendo games and series come from and what all these different companies do (for example, I have known the name Creatures for aaaaages but I've never really known what they actually do or where they came from). Thank you 😊
Very good and informative video! Another interesting aspect of mainline Pokémon development is how a lot of aspects of development like planning, programming and 3D modeling are outsourced to different companies, including some big name studios like Polygon Pictures. Every new game is a big collaboration project
That's just modern game development. Few AAA games are developed fully in-house these days. Take Elden Ring for example. It's pretty but not the most graphically advanced game out there. Yet 24 companies are credited for support graphics development. And Death Stranding credits over 40 companies for support development.
@@Chiffonaise That's true! I just wanted to point it out because I feel like this aspect is often ignored in discussion
Jon got a couple of stuff right. Nowhere in the japanese wiki it says that nintedo bought 10% of creatures. according to my previous research Nintendo owns a lot of stocks at creatures.
Little Town Hero also came to Xbox just like Tembo! :)
Super interesting video. I've always wondered what "Creatures Inc." even was.
I think Pokemon wouldn't be Pokemon without the author Satoshi Tajiri he was the cement and bricks of the development of the franchise, sadly he quit after the 251 original designs he made which was later handed over to Nintendo and Gamefreak to continue the series to this day.
This is my usual explanation: In relation to Nintendo, Game Freak are 3rd Party developers, but Pokémon is a 1st Party franchise.
I like to call pokemon a 2nd party franchise
Because *technically* nintendo has a cut of it and it only releases on nintendo consoles, they have no control over how the games are made and when they are released
@@aurum3747 Well they sort of do, if they say that a certain game should not be released it will not, and also they do some quality control
Literally an 11/10 video, riveting from start to finish. I never knew all of that went into making the Pokémon games
This is the best explanation I have seen on this topic. Thank you Jon for educating the masses.
The recent Palworld drama has made it painfully clear just how much more widespread this video needs to become, since people everywhere are assuming that Nintendo is solely responsible for everything coming from Pokémon.
And it's worth rendering just how many executives have crossed over from The Pokémon Company to NIntendo, inducing the current president.
actually Red, Blue and Green sold 31 million copies by themselves. Yellow sold another 14 million, making for a total of 45 million copies of gen 1 games sold
Jon got a couple things wrong:
Nintendo doesn't own 33% anymore of TPC since 2019. And I would like to know where he got the 10% ownership of Creatures from because Nintendo brought a very large UNDISCLOSED amount of Creatures in 2019.
Under Yamauchi Nintendo brought a majority stake in both Game Freak and Creatures. Also he got Nintendo to Trademark the name Pokemon. Nintendo literally owns the name Pokemon. When Pokemon started becoming too big too fast he got Game Freak and Creatures to do a joint adventure with Nintendo and created The Pokemon Company in which all 3 owned equally (33% each).
In 2019 Nintendo brought a very large UNDISCLOSED amount of Creatures. This leaves investors/shareholders like myself to believe they own majority control of Creatures. Shortly after that buy Nintendo sold 1% of their ownership of TPC to be spilt between Game Freak and Creatures and they did it again in 2020. This must had been part of the deal to buy a large UNDISCLOSED amount of Creatures.
So Nintendo owns the Trademark name Pokemon. Nintendo owns 31% of TPC. Nintendo owns a majority stake in Game Freak. With extra buying of Creatures it's safe to assume they own majority of Creatures but not entirely probably like 45% to 49%. Pretty much Nintendo owns Pokemon.
Damn Yamauchi was smart af to make sure his company got the fat sacks of cash.
Wow. Nintendo literally printing money
This makes more sense as why Pokemon won't appear on other consoles.
If all 3 parties owned an equal 1/3 why couldn't 2/3 of that decide against Nintendo?
@@AndresLionheart
Because of the large unknown ownership of Creatures that Nintendo has along with Nintendo being the only ones that owns the Trademarked name Pokemon its impossible to do anything with Pokemon without Nintendo's permission.
That's why I said Yamauchi was very smart to make the business moves he did when it came to Pokemon.
@@USMCbrantley and all this just resulted in Nintendo owning a multimedia juggernaut of a franchise that i'd say is one of the "Big 3" of Nintendo (the other 2 being Mario & Zelda)
Thank you for clearing this up. I agree with you when doing my reseach Nintendo seem to have a good amount of socks from creatures inc. You should make a video about that.
Jon informs us as always - thank you!
Like Mario, Pokémon actually had a few small games on PC back in the day (not including the ones on the Pokémon website), like Pokémon Team Turbo (I actually had this one as a kid from a Scholastic Book Fair, and it wasn’t very good), Pokémon Project Studio Red and Blue, PokéROMs, and Pokémon Masters Arena, and the series also had a few arcade games including Pokémon Tretta, Pokémon Ga-Olé, Pokémon Battrio, and Pokémon Mezastar all being like the Dragon Ball Heroes arcade game, and an arcade port of Pokkén Tournament, where Scizor, Empoleon, Croagunk, and Darkrai made their Pokkén debuts.
This world is rapidly passing away and I hope that you repent and take time to change before all out disaster occurs! Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36) if you believed in Messiah you would be following His commands as best as you could. If you are not a follower of Messiah I would highly recommend becoming one. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life - Revelation 3:20.
Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13 over the course of 1260+ years. Revelation 17 confirms that the beast is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God.
Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc. Have a blessed day!
Thank you this was really illuminating !
This video just signifies how lucky GVG is to have Jon.
This was beautiful, thanks John
"After completing development of Earthbound, APE disbanded and returned as Creatures"
So it's TRUE then! Mewtwo was inspired by Giygas!
*So basically 3 companies each own Pokemon.* But Nintendo does own 10% of Creatures. So if the 3 companies own 33.33% of Pokemon each, but Nintendo owns 10% of Creatures, does that mean that in reality if Nintendo cuts and runs with their share of Creatures that Nintendo secretly owns 36.66% of Pokemon? 😉 😅
After all, 10% of 33.33% is 3.33%. Think about it!!! Nintendo already has 33,.33%. But they can also claim 10% of Creature's 33.33% share too. 😉
Note: In reality, courts would likely just have Creatures buy out Nintendo's 10% stake.

Revelation 6 1st Seal: White horse = Roman Empire conquering nations under Trajan 98-117 AD & Gospel spreading rapidly. 2nd Seal: Red horse, bloody civil wars with 32 different Emperors, most killed by the sword. 185-284 AD 3rd Seal: Black horse, economic despair from high taxes to pay for wars, farmers stopped growing. 200-250 AD 4th Seal: Pale horse, 1/4th of Romans died from famine, pestilence; at one point 5,000 dying per day. 250-300 AD 5th Seal: Diocletian persecuted Smyrna church era saints for ten years, blood crying out for vengeance. 303-312 AD 6th Seal: Political upheaval in the declining Roman Empire while the leaders battled each other. 313-395 AD
Revelation 7 Sealing of 144,000, the saints, before trumpet war judgments, which led to the fall of the Roman Empire.
Revelation 8 1st Trumpet: Alaric and the Goths attacked from the north, the path of hail, and set it on fire. 400-410 AD 2nd Trumpet: Genseric and the Vandals attacked the seas and coastlands, the blood of sailors in water. 425-470 AD 3rd Trumpet: Attila and the Huns scourged the Danube, Rhine & Po rivers area, dead bodies made water bitter. 451 AD 4th Trumpet: Odoacer and the Heruli caused the last Western Emperor (sun), Senate (moon) to lose power. 476 AD With the Western Roman Emperor (restrainer of 2 Thes. 2) removed; the son of perdition Popes took power.
Revelation 9 Two woe judgments against the central 1/3rd and eastern 1/3rd of the Roman Empire. 612-1453 AD 5th Trumpet: Locust & scorpions point to Arabia, the rise of the Muslim army. Islam hides Gospel from Arabs. 612-762 AD 6th Trumpet: Turks released to attack Constantinople with large cannons (fire, smoke, brimstone). 1062-1453 AD
Revelation 10 The little book is the printed Bible, which was needed after the Dark Ages when Scriptures were banned by Popes.
Revelation 11 7th Trumpet: Martin Luther measured Roman Church; found that it’s an apostate church, not part of true temple. The two witnesses are the Scriptures and saints who proclaim the pure Gospel and testify against the antichrist Popes. Papal Church pronounced Christendom dead in 1514 AD. Silence for 3.5 years. Then Luther posted his 95 Thesis, which sparked the Protestant Reformation and brought the witnesses back to life. Millions of Catholics were saved.
Revelation 12 Satan used the Roman Empire to try to wipe out the early Church, Satan was cast down as the Empire collapsed.
Revelation 13 The antichrist beast Popes reigned in power 1,260 years, 538-1798, is the little horn of Daniel 7, son of perdition. The false prophet Jesuit Superior General rose to power from land (earth) of Vatican and has created many deceptions.
Revelation 14 Points to great harvest during the Protestant Reformation & wrath on Catholic countries who obey antichrist Pope.
Revelation 15 Overcoming saints victorious over the beast. Prelude to 7 vials and judgment on those who support Papal Rome.
Revelation 16 1st Vial: The foul sore of atheism was poured out on Catholic France, leaving them with no hope, led to revolution. 2nd Vial: The French Revolution started in 1793, killed 250,000, as France had obeyed the Pope and killed saints. 3rd Vial: The French Revolution spread to rural areas of France, where Protestants had been killed in river areas. 4th Vial: The bloody Napoleonic wars shed the blood of countries who had revered and obeyed the antichrist Pope. 5th Vial: Judgment on the seat of the beast. Papal States invaded in 1798, Pope imprisoned, removed from power. 6th Vial: The Turks vast domain dried up, they were only left with Turkey. They lost control of Palestine in 1917 AD, Israel became a nation again in 1948

This appeared on my suggestions. I was like "this, 100%, sounds like Jon."
I would said this is a perfect relationship for pokemon, if you compare them to other gaming franchise, they basically the biggest and 3rd oldest franchise in gaming history
Can we get history of Kirby next?
I feel like that the most likely way a Pokemon would not be on a Nintendo system, it would either be a spin-off (e.g. Pokemon Go on Mobile) or Nintendo would stop making systems and instead go a 3rd party dev like Sega.
Or if Namco were to steal it.
@@KokoGogo1728 ????
Lol if Nintendo decide to stop making their own console and decide to be a software publisher only, they can be a decide factor for Sony or Microsoft to have a monopoly in the gaming industry.
@@Ozhull Namco is a better company. They care about their customers, unlike Nintendo.
@@khanhnguyen-tt3ff Or if PC or mobile wins
What I really want answers to is what happened between Tekashi Shudo and whichever of the pokémon companies he worked with.
I feel like there was a falling out between them at some point, after the whole Lugia disaster. I don't even know how he ended up leaving, I only knew he stopped working for them in 2002, then nothing for five years until Dancouga Nova in 2007, and then his death 3 years later.
If the vita had got Pokémon it would’ve outsold the 3DS. Forcing the main Pokémon games onto the home console by just having the switch is a big part of why it’s done so well
FINAL FUCKINGLY SOMEONE is explaining how pokemon is n ok a Nintendo series
If Pokémon Will Ever Leave Nintendo I Would Be Glad, So I Can Be An Eevee Forever! Please Don't Take Me Down, Nintendo…
Violet and scarlet sound like completely different games
Yeah, it's kinda like a new beginning of the franchise, kinda like gen 3 back in the day.
"When will this fad last?"
Eh, over 25 years.
I really like these investigative pieces John has been doing. Very fun and informative.
Pokemon is currently less of a Nintendo IP than are Kirby and Fire Emblem.
This video was so well done!
Eventually it becomes public domain so ya it will leave Nintendo eventually weather they like it or not
the bad thing of the franchise becoming this big is that the games continue to come out undercoocked and lackluster despite more potent hardware housing them, all to meet deadlines for the other branches of their business...
It's a joke. I seen more effort put into fan projects. Like they can't be bothered to add a few more vertex's for those environments.
Thats the issue when so many things are tied to the games. The anime relies on the games to keep itself going, same for the TCG and the Pokemon Spin-off to add new Pokemon. Merchandise is also affected by it since new games means new products, plushies, etc.
@@Robert_D_Mercer yeah fan projects are dope but at the same time, they don't have all the outside BS to deal with either.
@maltese1122 would not be as popular, the 2 biggest monster capture Franchise are merchandise first games later one is pokemon the other is digimon other monster capture are not as popular
Pokémon has 3 owners
33% of it owned by nintendo
33% of it owned by gamefreak
34% of it owned by creatures inc
This world is rapidly passing away and I hope that you repent and take time to change before all out disaster occurs! Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36) if you believed in Messiah you would be following His commands as best as you could. If you are not a follower of Messiah I would highly recommend becoming one. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life - Revelation 3:20.
Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13 over the course of 1260+ years. Revelation 17 confirms that the beast is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God.
Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc. Have a blessed day!
Nintendo owns about 33% of Pokemon, and founded the company that owns another 33% (but Nintendo is weird like that and has founded several companies it doesn't actually own, including HAL Labs and (I believe) Intelligent Systems).
That company is Creatures, Inc, btw.
GameFreak owns the other third.
YW for the not 11 minute video.
6:10 crazy to think that lady is handling potentially millio s of dollars in that plastic bag
I have a feeling Pokemon would fail if gone multiplatform, I can't really say why, but I can't imagine the same grosses outside Nintendo
Nintendo should focus on their own game, like Mario and Kirby and Animal Crossing and all that. Leave Pokemon alone. It is its own company, associated with Gamefreak. They can handle themselves.
@@KokoGogo1728 nintendo DOES own the pokemon company quarterly
@@xavi_ I dunno, maybe Namco can steal it.
Pokemon IS Multiplat, like it or not you can play ANY Pokemon game on PC as well, legality or officiality do not matter. Pokemon is an unofficial multiplat.
@@KokoGogo1728 Nintendo owns more than 50% of TPC they basically own the company at that point.
Well yea, I very much doubt nintendo is going to let the most profitable media franchise ever just slip through their fingers
I still find it hilarious that SwSh is the 2nd best selling generation even after all that boycott pokemon twitter stuff
As someone who actually enjoyed Sword/Shield (even more after Isle of Armor/Crown Tundra was released), I'm glad it's sold so well.
Yeah, there are Pokemon I would've loved to bring in Sword/Shield, like Gliscor, Meloetta (my favorite Mythical Pokemon), Ampharos, Florges, etc. but I'm not gonna make a hundred videos on how "Pokemon hasn't been good since the jump to 3DS".
*COUGH* DistantKingdom *COUGH*
I think the boycott actually increased sales due to how nasty some of the backlash got.
@@Grendel9 man I wish that boycott helped pokemon black and white sell as well. it seemed to of hindered them more then helped.
@@MrMariosonicman I only recently started playing Pokémon black but I can tell people didn’t like it because it was too different at the time for certain folks. I say it’s similar to the way the Star Wars prequel movies are viewed nowadays.
@@Grendel9 that is actually a VERY good comparison. tho in both cases I liked them during a time they were both overly hated. it does make me happy they are getting better treatment in recent years.
People love to bring out the fact that Pokemon is a billion dollar franchise whenever Gamefreak is involved. Even a fraction of that money is probably not going to magically get them to hire new people to lighten their workload.
They can, they choose not to. A fraction of a billion is more than enough for a competent technical director.
@@lpnp9477 I think you're missing another issue. Technically nintendo could make gf take their time and hire more people to make their games look better but don't.
And then Nintendo comes along and tries to take all the credit.
I'd argue they do, like it's a freaking billion, like it isn't making a program that perfectly predicts weather or something, it's making a turn based RPG, hehe.
@@Billythekid73192 I'm mixed on this because Nintendo has shown willingness to delay games and sometimes not.
Game freak was a magazine at the start? Should've known that
Finally people can shut up about pokemon being a "third party"
Hallo kitty reminds me of Rainbow Nayan Meowth As well As Russian Blue Is still descendants of British shorthair cat just like i said about Meowth could fitting this role with Google Internet CAt As well but that's all 👍
This is an excellent and informative video!
Pokémon an investor can just make another great game and that’s it
Wait if Nintendo, Gamefreak, and Creatures each own 33% of Pokémon then that totals to 99%. So who owns the remaining 1% of Pokémon?
Me
Actually, Pokemon is entirely owned by the Pokemon Company and Game Freak. Nintendo is just the publisher of the games, therefore it has no affiliation with them.
Because I feel I gotta, Jon said *media* brand, not gaming brand.
It doesn't matter.
Nintendo themselves Trademark the name Pokemon because Pocket Monster outside of Japan was already taken. They literally own the name. No one can do anything with Pokemon without Nintendo signing off on it. They have to not only change the name but also 51% of the fundamentals that make Pokemon, Pokemon or be sue by Nintendo big time.
Nintendo brought a majority stake of both Game Freak and Creatures in the 90s. When Pokemon got too big too fast Nintendo said to those two companies let's do a joint adventure to handle the media stuff of Pokemon so together they created The Pokemon Company with all 3 owning equal shares (33% each). In 2019 Nintendo brought a very large UNDISCLOSED amount of Creatures and very shortly after that buy Nintendo sold 1% of ownership of TPC to be spilt between Game Freak and Creatures equally and again in 2020. Majority of shareholders like myself believe they did that because of the Creatures deal. On top of that its safe to assume investing wise that Nintendo owns between 40% to 49% of Creatures.
@@USMCbrantley ....gonna take a wild guess and say you missed my point so badly that you'd be a Stormtrooper before 2015.
Not really sure what point you're trying to make here. Gaming is a form of media. Pokemon very clearly extends beyond gaming so it would be inaccurate to call it purely a gaming brand.
@@Falvern57 So you DO get the point, then.
My point being that people love to use the claim of "most profitable franchise" without understanding what parts of the earnings go to what, on top of the company not actually having billions of dollars at their disposal, let alone solely for game development. Ntm that the games don't actually make as much money as the rest of the merch does.
I mean everyone knows Nintendo don't own Pokemon, but I did not expect so many insights oh Gamefreak and Creatures from you Jon
Nintendo owns 31% of TPC
Nintendo owns a majority stake in Game Freak.
Nintendo owns a large UNDISCLOSED amount of Creatures.
Nintendo also owns the Trademark name Pokemon. No one can do anything with that name without Nintendo signing off on it and getting money for it.
Of Course
I know all those people who left the project early are seriously regretting it now
Well that was fucking rad
9:49 Now that's a Disservice. Why do people always just talk about Little Town Hero and the worst of Elephants? You could also mention Giga Wrecker on Steam. First because it is a PC Game made specifically by people in GF that quote "were tired of making Pokémon RPGs all the time" and, unlike the other two, isn't bad.
Mr. Perfect Cell, is that you?
Pokémon has the uncanny ability of not dying
The amount of different revenues that Pokémon has gone into has made it impossible to kill
Trading Cards, Merchandise, Videos, Games of many variety, the Anime, and many more smaller details has truly made it a giant
I haven't watched the video yet, but I didn't even need it to know that Pokemon will never leave Nintendo lol.
So all of the good models from pokemon snap? And mediocre to bad models are all done by Creature?
Don't forget Nintendo owns a part of game freak as well.
You've got the best voice on RUclips Jon!!
This makes me wish magic the gathering had games for their new releases
Thank you RUclips for failing to notify me!
6:48 What's the name of the game?
wow, really great video. super informative!
Wow Nintendo had catch them all?!?
They did leve nitendo twice for sega pico and once for computer
It’s Nintendo IP!
how very convoluted
So Nintendo owns 33% of Pokémon and then 10% of another company that owns 33%, quite complex to be honest.
No he got that stuff wrong. Everything else though is correct.
Edit: Nintendo themselves Trademark the name Pokemon (they literally own the name). Since 2020 Nintendo owns only 31% of TPC. Nintendo gave up 1% of ownership of TPC in 2019 to be spilt between Creatures and Game Freak and they did it again in 2020. Before that happen in 2019 Nintendo brought a very large UNDISCLOSED amount of Creatures. I have no clue where he got the 10% from because this was UNDISCLOSED and 10% is not a very large amount. It's safe to assume they own 40% to 49% of Creatures.
Nintendo also owns a majority stake in Game Freak since the late 90s.
Pretty much Nintendo owns Pokemon. A company can come in and buy out Game Freak and Creatures and TPC but if they dont buy the Trademark name Pokemon from Nintendo they can't do sh!t with it unless Nintendo approves it.
@@USMCbrantley oh ok that’s interesting.
What about the Sega Pico? They had three Pokémon edutainment titles and even had a special edition Pokémon themed console. Yes, you read that correctly... a Pokémon Sega console.
That's because GameFreak and Creatures overrode Nintendo's decision.
Keep in mind GameFreak and Creatures each own a 3rd of the IP, if they really wanted to, they could potentially see a release on other systems not Nintendo.
Lol imagine you're that lady who called pokemon a fad. To think there's the possibility that it could've died off or never have caught on in the first place.
Could you imagine a hell where pokemon isn’t owned/overseen by Nintendo
I can imagine a heaven where Japans copyright laws aren't fucked to Hell and back. Some of those rom hack creators out there should be working for/with Nintendo/TPC, just saying.
@@megaman37456 you say that but then if those rom hackers get into tpc expect pokemon to look like the last of us
@@SweaterPuppys That's not how Rom hacking works.
Thanks for the learn.
Thank you!
_Pokemon will never leave Nintendo_
this if fine, slime rancher2&hellblade2 not available on playstation feels wrong (originals were)
You sound like one of the guys on GameXplain
He used to be one of the guys on the gaming club
This video is some good shit right here
I love these types of videos ^w^
I pokemon will never leave Nintendo? (Just the biggest and most lucrative franchise in the world....) I wonder why Nintendo it's keeping it......
Well, if you stop to think, there's no need to pokemon leave nintendo, The pokemon company is already making a lot of money with nintendo
Yes. A third of it. Video over lol
