I don't think that way because Pokemon GO (LGPE's entire reason for existence) was not released until the summer of 2016.
Pokémon GO was first a joke game called "Pokémon Challenge" during 2013 April Fools' Day. Later on they decided to develop a full fleshed game and it was oficially announced by Ishihara during 2015.
Games take time to develop and conceptualize.
