Well, GameFreak seems intent on appealing to the mobile crowd, and get at least some of them to spend $400 and get a console game (see:Let's GO). We can’t change this pattern, but why not use this idea in a way that has been done before by companies like Rockstar games?
Release ports (if remasters with slight tweaks and improvements are too much to ask) of the pre-3DS Games for android and iOS? We already know that all pre-3DS games are functional on these platforms with emulation, so an official port, in my understanding, would be feasible if some emulators can do that with ROMs. It would also provide a taste for the older entries and what "conventional" Pokémon is like to the folks without the $300 investment that is a console, since the previous Pokémon mobile entries don’t do a good job at that.
These could also be connected to the present entries via Pokemon Home, and could be used to sell its subscriptions too. Not to mention providing an accessible medium for fans to play their games, since most of the genuine copies of them are used and often high in price.
What do you think? And what additions could be made to the mobile versions of these games in your opinion?
(For those who haven’t played such versions before, it basically divides the screen into two for DS functionality with virtual buttons to emulate a DS. GameFreak, of course, with their larger collection of resources, could make a feasible UI if needed)
