I don't see why they would. Pokemon puts out slop after slop and sells like hotcakes. Scarlet and Violet was abysmal, lowest rated Pokemon game ever, full of bugs, glitches, the works. Over 23 mil sold, instant top 5 for Pokemon sales ever. Sword & Shield? Another cool 25+. How did PocketPair annihilate them?

Come Christmas time, kids want to play with Pikachu.
