The price doubling was practically a given. Most retail games on handhelds and consoles cost the same price, so there wasn't much of a chance that Pokemon would be less than $60. But I fully expected in the jump to console, Game Freak would have the business sense to see that everyone else was...

We don't, but we do know the relative value compared to other games. More assets takes more time to create, each additional Pokemon they add also adds additional development time modeling and coding them into the game. Same with each new area, each new character, each new feature. That's...
