Honestly, given the premise of Pokémon Go, you could make an anime out of it’s premise but it couldn’t be set in the current anime’s universe due to it needing a real world element. It could even run similarly to how Digimon Tamers worked so it isn’t impossible. The elements of Pokémon Go are however incompatible with the core anime and it shows.When you do an anime series, you should have a strong core to keep interest. Pokémon GO would be very hard to adapt as an anime series because it lacks a story mode, and (as of January 2020) is mainly about catching Pokémon, developing gym badges, and clearing stops from Team GO Rocket. This shows what happens if you try to adapt a plotless app instead of the newest games, as well as exploit older episodes with bait-and-switch fillers to improve ratings.
Given the writers' refusal to acknowledge the past except when trying to bait in worn-out older fans, Masters would be just as hard to adapt.
