Does this series even need microtransactions to be profitable? The budget for each game is probably not that high at all, yet the series still does almost COD-like numbers. I’m thinking the sky’s the limit for what they could do on the Switch, considering all the power the thing has compared to everything else they’ve worked with.

The budget of a Pokemon game is almost non existent when compared to big titles.
Pokemon does not need microtransactions to be wildly profitable.

Yes they certainly don't need microtransactions to be profitable, not even close!

Though the budget will increase substantially jumping from 3ds development to Switch. Equally the workload will go up a lot. I hope gamefreak are ready for that or the development time between Pokemon Games may increase significantly. Though that wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.
