Pokemon for xbox

(1/3) > >>

rparentjr:
Why don't they have a pokemon game for xbox live??

The-Blades-slave:
Well, I THINK, because Pokemon is owned by Nintendo, not Xbox.

Hank:
Pokemon was originally created by Nintendo. The reason only Nintendo uses Pokemon is because of the patent and copyright laws.

TrainerX:
It's because Nintendo holds all of the rights to the Pokemon franchise (I'm not sure if GameFreak actually owns any of it or not. From what I've read, GameFreak is just paid by Nintendo to make the games, but I'm not 100% sure on this.) GameFreak has a contract with Nintendo, which doesn't allow them to make Pokemon games for other companies (Like Microsoft and Sony), which means that Pokemon will probably never end up on any systems that aren't made by Nintendo.

wolfcry23:
maybe if there opened up their borders they could make more money off of pokemon. I'm positive people would buy it if it was offered on different systems. which would put more money in their pockets. :)
