Though pokemon is cheaper to make. They sell at 40 bucks a copy compared to GTAV's 60 bucks. Divide it in have and that's ~10 dollars more per game for GTAV. GTAV is going to pretty much going to sell in all likelyhood all of pokemon's sales in it's FM at full price. Over 25 million copies that's 250 million dollars which is close to the dev cost.
GTAV has microtransactions too. An inevitable DLC, likely PC version as well. Though if I remember theres a pokemon thing at 5 dollars a month.
Though if you're including pokemon merchandising it becomes murkey and could very well come out ahead, and if someone would have to provide past numbers I would change my answer..
