The leaked budgets for these games is a joke though.

$13m for Pokemon Legends Z-A
$20m for Pokemon Wind/Waves

No wonder Z-A looks like crap. You have games that will gross $1 Billion and you're spending only $13m developing them... unreal.

Don't get me wrong, low budgets is an admirable thing, if the game doesn't suffer for it, which Pokemon clearly has the whole Switch generation.

They will spend a lot with Marketing (maybe something like $100-200m), but they will make money with Pokemon Go, Cards, etc... so they dont have excuse.
