Months after smacking down NFT bros, The Pokemon Company wants to hire a blockchain expert
Remember whenಞ The Pokemon Company said it was "deliberate" about not releasing NFTs? Now it's hirin𒐪g an NFT expert

Just a few months after slapping down a knock-off NFT game, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Pokemon Company is looking for an NFT expert to help dr💙ive its future business strategy and lead partnerships with external develﷺopers.
The Pokemon Company wants to hire a corporate development principal, according to a highlighted by . This role will join the President and Corporate Development Office, the division that advises the company's long-term business strategy. Specifically, this corporate development principal will be in charge of initiatives to brainstorm new types of "Pokemon experiences" outside of the traditional 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Game Freak RPGs.
Many of the requested qualifications are what you'd expect from a corporate job listing, including calls for a decade of experience and "self-starter" initiative. The lis🔥ting does have a few more specific requests, though, calling for someone with a "deep knowledge and understanding of Web3, including blockchain technologies and NFT, and/or metaverse," and who is "deeply connected to a network of investors and entrepreneurs" in the Web3 and metaverse space. It also notes that the successful applicant will "identify, analyze, monitor, and build relationships with external co-development partners with unique technology to support the implementation of new ideas."
The heads of The Pokemon Company are seemingly interested in partnering with external developers on blockchain-based games, or at least exploring the possibility, either ignoring or ignorant of the intense backlash against NFTs from gamers. In December 2022, the company itself ﷺgave a legal smackdown to a knock-off Pokemon 𒈔NFT game, saying at the time that "The Pokemon Company and Nintendo had made a delib💙erate decision not to launch any Pokemon NFTs." But the times may be a-changing.
While companies like Ubisoft have abandoned the NFT gold rush after the abject failure of experiments like Ghost Recon Breakpoint's Digits, it seems that some Japan-led gaming companies in particular are deepening their investments in a technology and business model that everyone outside of Silicon Valley and Wall Street seems to hate. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Konami wants NFTs, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Square Enix (still) wants NFTs, and now it seems The Pokemon C♔ompany wants in on the blo⛎ckchain, too.
We've seen the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Pokemon games, and now it's time to prepare for the worst to go down an even darker hole.
