The Japanese government has faced criticism for awarding a substantial subsidy to DeNA, the developer behind the popular Pokémon TCG Pocket game. The 1.5 billion yen investment has sparked debate about whether the studio truly needs the funding, considering the game's existing success.

The subsidy is intended to support DeNA's mobile game development efforts, but some argue that the studio's financial situation does not warrant such a large investment. This has led to concerns about the allocation of government funds and the potential impact on smaller game development studios that may be more in need of financial support.
