Yes, Pokemon is by far the
highest-grossing media franchise of all time.
Second to Mario for video game sales, but far ahead if you include the anime, toys, movies, cards, clothes, etc. You'd think they could put more work in.
However, BOTW didn't require 800 sprites to code, model, and animate.
So it probably is quite taxing. We never see Pokemon games released with new consoles. BOTW, in comparison, was a successful launch title.
