Ubisoft? They just show it a different way. By releasing the same games with a new coat of paint at a premium.
What is Pokemon?
Eh, Pokemon I think adds more per game generation than games like Assassin's Creed nowadays.
Red, Green, Blue, Yellow didn't need to be 4 different games or because that's unfair, it didn't need to be 3 different games.
Id say that's a bad choice of how to frame the newer game released is "just a coat of paint" issue. Id say you're raking the colors too literally. I wouldn't call special edition releases or director's cuts the same as just slapping a coat of paint on something. Especially when we're talking about a gaming world before DLC. The only way to upgrade a game or add new functionality was to release a new version of some kind. Would you consider a Game of the Year edition with all the DLC bundled a coat of paint? Or a Deluxe version that has unique skins?
Pokemon Red/Green specifically released as a paired game to take advantage of the Gameboy Link Cable, with the pokemon trading praised at the time as a great new concept. The split was intentional and promoted playing and trading with friends. The games played exactly the same, you just could only catch half the pokemon without trading with friends.
Blue in Japan was a special edition released with better graphics and extended dialogue. It was used as the base for the Red/Blue games released internationally.
Yellow was a special edition that tied into the Anime series, having Pikachu be the starter and refuse to stay in the pokeball so he followed you around, like Ash in the Anime, and the rival using an Eevee instead of the initial 3 starters like the previous versions. Otherwise it was nearly identical to Red/Blue, and should be treated as just a different version of the same game.
The next games released in the series then changed the region and pokemon entirely, creating the multiple generations Pokemon is known for.
Nintendo LITERALLY invented that concept with Super Mario AllStars on the SNES.
You think Nintendo invented Remakes and Remasters with Super Mario All-Stars? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_remake#History
ubisoft even tried to use propaganda through mythic quest show to "reinvent themselves"
