Pokemon developer Game Freak wants to make more non-Pokemon games in the future!
Since 1996, Game Freak has been known primarily as the developer behind the Pokemon series. The franchise takes up the majority of the studio's time, but between releases, Game Freak occasionally develops games like Tembo the Badass Elephant and Giga Wrecker. Following the Apple Arcade release of Pocket Card Jockey: Ride On, director Masao Taya told Axios that Game Freak is committed to making more games that aren't Pokemon.
"We believe that it is very important for the studio to continue making and releasing titles outside of the Pokémon series," Taya told Axios."In recent years, the resources needed for game development have grown and grown, so Development Department One has been trying out a style of development where it works with external studios."
It will be interesting to see what Game Freak does next! The studio's non-Pokemon games have been a mixed bag in terms of reception, but working closely with other teams could help in that regard. It could also potentially lead to sequels to some of the studio's more well-regarded games.
The resources required to make Pokemon games have been a hot topic over the last year. While Pokemon Legends: Arceus received strong praise, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's buggy release has resulted in many fans questioning whether the franchise's release schedule is too much for Game Freak, and if there should be a longer wait between new games.
