Oh yes I’m aware, the first release of the game was a broken mess from my understanding, they re-worked a lot of the games engine and re-released it in 2013, and it’s still going strong today, hell it still has a monthly subscription in order to play, so it’s clearly still a money machine.
As I stated before MMO’s are a different beast compared to 1-player games, does that mean such games should never be made? obviously with as much as people clammer for it, I think a Pokemon MMO could earn all companies involved a lot of money, a lot of MMO’s do tend to suffer a rocky start at first, but there are more than a few that have gone on to become strong showings of the Genre
No advancements are ever made to any industry without a little risk every now and then, not that I really expect nintendo or the pokemon company to okay an MMO with their IP’s but, but I think it could work for Pokemon out of all of the IPS
