Suppose Pokemon is sold to Google.
How would things change?

sorry who do you think is making GO again? Spoiler alert, it's a google subsidiary.

Google has a LOT of interest in Pokemon.
Remember the April Fools Day jokes they've made.
>>25072753
the april fools thing was a guerrilla focus group to decide if they should move forward with GO
the GO trailer is made of unused footage from the april fools joke
Might as well buy Nintendo if they are going to take their biggest money maker after Mario.
Changes to the franchise? Why change what isn't broken?
Worst case scenario, they're super anal about copyright and they take fansites down like no tomorrow.

It becomes a competent franchise again. Fuck GF and their lazyness. Worse yet they shamelessly use the excuse of "being for kids" to piss out shit game after shit game.
Btw Pokemon is the only video game i play. And have every game, and a crapload of merchandise.

Considering Minecraft was sold to $2.5 billion, maybe Pokemon franchise ranges somewhere between $7 and $10 billion.
Who knows if GO is a proof of concept to consider this?
>>25072184
It's not a Google subsidiary anymore...
>>25073130
google owns equity in the company though
>>25070183
As a /g/entooman, I can only believe it will go downhill.
>>25073151
So you're saying things wouldn't change at all, then.
>>25070183
it would be a giant acquisition, billions of dollars. bigger than starwars or not, google would put a giant team to work investigating public reception of ideas before developing any new pokemon products. such as asking vague questions across internet forums.

but I don't want the things normies want
Knowing Google, it would be they would just play it by-the-numbers while flexing their technological muscle in a *wink* *wink* ;) sort of fashion

Or they change their mindset about it, using their worldwide presence.

>All new pokemon games become entwined with Social Media
It'd be the end... for me at least.
Maybe actual, competent graphic engine developers will fix the 15fps engine.

At the risk of taking the bait, there's your problem.
Google does what they do best and fucks it up. Register for Google Plus to play online!
