It’s not something to agree or disagree with lol. It’s a fact that they are a marketing company being blamed for all of SwSh’s development issues. Again: GF owns a third of TPCi. Creatures—the company who does all the Pokémon modeling—also owns a third of it. If the games had been delayed, TPCi would be in charge of continuing to market Alola and figuring out how to do so. I am not saying they’re blameless, but at the end of the day it isn’t their job to set up deadlines for games. It’s their job to keep things marketable and interesting based on what they’re given.
I’m not sure what point you’re making in regards to Bank. I believe you were indeed misinterpreting what I said.
It’s also a fact that the Pokémon Company are in charge of Brand Management, and that would have to include the games. The Pokémon Company are also the “publishers” of the game, along with Nintendo, which suggests they’re the ones that produce the financing at the very least. There is no reason at all to assume that Gamefreak gets the decision to develop the games in their own timeframe, and then the Pokémon Company doing their entire jobs (marketing, setting release dates for merchandise, etc) based around whatever Gamefreak decides. That doesn’t even make sense.
