i remember activision once said they made the skylanders IP to sell toys off of it right? thats whats making them so much money right?

Can you imagine if pokemon took a similar approach. 

im surprised they didnt. i mean damn the games didnt sell that great in USA but look at all the money they made! you gotta give it to activision though, they really did have an awesome strategy thats paying off incredibally. 

If pokemon did it then it might be huge for nintendo, it might actually make them more money then most of there game sales. but coming to think about it didnt pokemon already do this? i remember the card game being huge like 10 years back (atleast where i lived)

not with the main series.  This actually just falls into my previous conversation with you even more.  Good pokemon games sell extremely well where as knockoffs fall to mediocre or bad numbers.
