That’s reasonable. Though, to be fair, most Pokémon to me look like stand-alones before their evolutionary relatives are revealed. Like Honedge I remember as a prime example and then it evolved twice. Guess we’ll see.
I’ve said this a lot, but definitely cross-gen evolutions. I know the leak said Farfetch’d was getting one but for one thing it could be the only one (like Sylveon was) and for another the leak was so unclear as to what it was actually talking about (the term “regional evolution” is so vague) that I’m still worried it might not be what we think it is. It’s been almost 13 years since we got a proper amount of them, so I’m really hoping gen 8 delivers. There are a lot of Pokémon that could use them.
Ah, nice catch. That probably is the case.
The main series probably have a totally separate marketing plan and are much more important to the franchise than mobile titles (as in; making progress for the franchise).
But they don't even compete or steal each others' light or anything. Also, big Pokémon titles need enough coverage to build up the hype for release. Masters is certainly not a big title (in terms of coverage needed).
I think you may have a point. They announced today ANOTHER mobile game. And they are wanting these kind of games to be popular.
Mewtwo movie also wasn't being marketed globally.
How so? Their main console is the Switch right now and it will have the titles that move the series forward and will create merchandise for it. Those mobile titles aren't made by Gamefreak. Go might have made a lot of revenue, but it's generally low effort, high revenue for the Pokémon Company and Niantic.
