They already did something like that in Unlocked last week. It was basically something like “what activision IP would you like any other MS studio to work on” or something like that. The answers were some of the most painfully unimaginative things I have ever heard. Ryan suggested that The Coalition should do a Call of Duty game, as an example…

isn’t Pokémon owned by Nintendo ?
No, it is not but they do have a stake in the IP I believe.

Partially. Split between Nintendo, Game Freak, and Creatures Inc (partially owned by Nintendo too).
Yep! But it doesn’t compete on the TV show, merch or Game front!

I don’t know exactly how it’s all split up and what the backend dealing/paperwork is, but essentially yes. Assuming it’s split evenly, buying Game Freak and Creatures Inc would be 66% ownership of Pokémon.
Can’t tell you how many times I’ve looked at this chart. When people get mad at me when I say Pokémon is more popular than Harry Potter.

how many talents of that transformer team in high moon right now ? the studio is now support studio.
tbh i expect new IP from them then working on licensed IP.
Once they announce they have acquired WB, Batman will be the play. 
Transformers ranks above Batman on the list.
Transformers is the play.

I’d settle for the games to go BC…. A new Cybertron game would be cool though.
Hell, if they bought Platinum you could have two Transformers studios.
(please no)
Nah, I just want good games, period. And seeing IO doing so many different projects while being independent has me concerned that atleast one of them is going to fail due to lack of funding or manpower.

Wait a second. You mean to tell me that Star Wars even today after two failed trilogies in a row, is still more valuable than Marvel??? And Gundam is that valuable?? Where is the money coming from, manga? Toys? Certainty not the anime with it being on kind of a hiatus
“Failed Trilogies”.
Look I have problems with some of the ST but they were not failures
Also people love that Baby Yoda.
