What about Pokémon on the blockchain? Several developers have tried and failed to bring the video game franchise&#39;s monster-battling premise to life on Web3, but The Pokémon Company has yet to make a move in the space. A new job listing suggests that this may be changing.The Pokémon Company, a collaboration between Nintendo and game creators Game Freak and Creatures, has posted a job advertisement for a Corporate Development Principal, a position that would advise the company&#39;s leadership on strategy and investigate new technologies. And the company is searching for someone who is already well-versed in the Web3 area.The firm specifically seeks someone with &#34;strong knowledge and awareness of Web3, including blockchain technology, NFT, and/or metaverse.&#34; Nonetheless, it prefers applicants who are &#34;deeply connected to a network of investors and entrepreneurs in the technological industries mentioned above (Web3).&#34; and The listing does not provide a clear sense of prospective Web3 moves by The Pokémon Company, whether they are NFTs or a blockchain-based game. Decrypt contacted the corporation for comment on potential Web3 ambitions, but did not receive an instant response.Yet, the description indicates a function that will help drive innovation at the 24-year-old corporation behind what has been dubbed the world&#39;s most valuable entertainment franchise. The Corporate Development Principal, for example, will create an internal &#34;innovation challenge&#34; and investigate prospective relationships with external corporations regarding new technology.The Pokémon Company is in charge of the long-running franchise&#39;s enormous array of games, media, and goods, which includes console and mobile games, TV shows and movies, toys and apparel, and other initiatives and tie-ins. Nintendo does not control the Pokémon franchise, but it does publish all of its console video games outside of Japan.Pokémon&#39;s monster-collecting philosophy of &#34;must catch &#39;em all&#34; could be a good fit for NFT-based games or even valuable digital goods. In the lack of an approved offering, other teams have attempted to create a similar concoction.Pixelmon, the most well-known unofficial example, sold $70 million in NFTs early last year before unveiling artwork that was widely mocked—even the company&#39;s CEO conceded that the art reveal was a &#34;terrible blunder.&#34; In an attempt to save the project, a new leadership team came over in September and released improved artwork and a revised roadmap.
