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.

They have also never made an hd Pokemon game.  It will require more people and a bigger budget than a 3ds game.  That doesn’t mean they will put microtransactions in the game as Nintendo doesn’t really make big changes like that to their core ips.  However, the budget for Pokémon switch will definitely be an exponential increase over past iterations.
