I agree with both of you. I didn't mean to imply it was just any random franchise agreement that made the difference and that there were no improvements to gameplay. The integration with the pokemon world and improved game play accessibility are two things that made working with that franchise in particular brilliant. Working with the Star Wars franchise would not have been brilliant. Although with the success of pokemon go I expect there will be a lot more themed games in the future.
