Digimon Cyber Sleuth, a game that sold... 500k? Maybe less? Had 240 Digimon.
Pokemon Sword & Shield, a game that will sell 15-20m: Will probably have 300-450 Pokemon. "Oh no it's too much work!" Not only will it sell 15-20m but they'll release a third version to milk the same work for at least another 5-10m.
So we have a game probably making roughly $20m in revenue vs a game making at least $900m in revenue... and if you're lucky S&S will have twice as many creatures. Nice. We're not going to do more work, but we will make more money than we know what to do with.
I would very much like to see what the budget for Sword and Shield is.
Where did the $2.5 Billion + money from Pokemon Go disappear to?
