They probably don't want to be bought, or maybe they're too expensive? I don't think they're a public company so they can't be bought out or anything. They probably have all their costs paid for and keep 50%. I don't know either man. They should've offered back when the first pokemon released. It was obvious how big the franchise would become.

If you were the one that created Pokemon would you have sold it? Or would you have wanted not only creative control but also a chunk of the profit?

mmm what I'm saying is that, as Gamefreak, having created pokemon, you could have sold for several hudred million, and then funded work in a whole new series of games.
I mean yeah, why give that up. But if you could just sell it and pretty much secure you financially for the rest of your life? Polyphony digital sold their series and they have complete control. It's all about the contract.
