Wasn't Iwata responsible for convincing them to localize the first game? I'm sure Nintendo would still be around and a big company at that, they made Pokemon way bigger if they just stuck to Japan.

Iwata wrote the code for the original games.

Nintendo would still be successful sure but they'd be in a very different position; the House of Mario can only hold the fort so long - same could be said for Disney (with Mickey) without the addition of the Marvel or Star Wars Universe.

...and yet Nintendo won't dedicate any of their E3 showing to the new Pokemon games coming out this year during the 20th anniversary blowout.

There's never a bad time to jump into/back into Pokemon. I went from playing Gen I-III back in the day to skipping right onto Gen VI just recently, and nothing I missed detracted from the experience at all.

Nostalgia aside, it really is as good (if not better) than it's ever been.

This is my experience as well; there really isn't a bad time to get into the series.

Disney leads by a good $30 billion against second place.

And only the top four earn in the 11 digits. JESUS MARY JOSEPH

So glad Pokemon is still big. I'm really surprised they did so well last year. I'd expect that much from this year with Sun and Moon along with Pokken, but last year just had Super Mystery Dungeon.

Oh well. This is only good news.

Disney is a giant multi IP, multimedia company.
Pokemon is a single IP.
