Not until good games come out on mobile and Apple doesn’t dominate the mobile market

no, smartphones arent there, yet

But Pokemon had already failed on smartphones.

Isn't that guy president of Nintendo now?

>only like 100 million or so Switches sold
>meanwhile billions of smartphones
Switch fucking lost. It lost to phones, fridges, televisions and microwaves. The absolute state.
Pokemon will be coming to vacuum cleaners by the year 2026.

No.

i think the point is that nobody wants to carry around 2 mobile devices. they will just stop playing Nintendo games, because they're too inconvenient.

But the Switch proves that's wrong.

Playing games on touch screens is still shit, that said a lot of new phones are more powerful than the shit Switch.

Friendly reminder the reason pokemon is shit is because they're actually trying to compete with mobilefags rather than make decent games for actual games, and they've been doing this since at least 2014.

pokemon go has made $5 billion in its lifetime. pokemon swsh alone has made more than $1 billion so far.
the problem is that tpci just don't want to invest too much in the game's development budget knowing well the game will sell like hotcakes without putting much effort.
imagine if they put $100 million from the game profits in the next game's development instead of buying paid reviews.
>inb4 majority of the sales come from merchandise
I specifically excluded merchandise profits. these are purely game profits.

GameFreak doesn't need bigger budgets. They need competent programmers/managers and more time. All of the core problems with recent games are a matter of technical incompetence, bad planning, and crunch.

considering it’s on track to outsell the ps2? He’s a fucking retard

prease understandu…..just smarr indie studio….

This, game budgets mean fuck all without skilled people working on the project. Damn near every single AAA budget game last year should show you this.

bigger budget = more staff = more work done in the tight deadlines set by tpci
gamefreak has no say in deciding those matters. tpci is to blame for all the problems with switch games. the ceo literally had no faith in switch and seeing a cheap mobile game that took them less effort to develop bring in billions has obviously made his point more valid. why put effort and resources in a game if blind fanboys will buy it anyway?
this is the future of monster-catching genre.

Phones don't even remotely overlap with retail games, there is multiple companies over course of years trying push proper games on phones.

Result? Everyone pirating and wasting money on f2p or gacha. Whale that dump 1000 bux on waifu isn't same that buy 60bux game.

and pokeautists will ensure any new IP will fail

yep. even the monster catching games with effort put into them are actively thrashed by the same people who shower praises at gamefreak's latest garbage.
never underestimate how retarded people can be when they become slaves to a corporation or brand.

You can't keep throwing more people at a project at a certain point. Studios learned this ~10-6 years ago. You need skilled laborers, not more laborers, and smarter design.

Legends Arceus could be exactly the same except the GDD wasn't bullshit and the programmers knew what they were doing and it'd be like an 8/10 with passable visuals.

Smartphone chips are almost on par with Nvidia's Pascal line of graphics cards, so he's not entirely wrong. Nobody's using their power to the fullest extent yet like AAA gaming tries to do on consoles.

It uses same garbage engine from SS, you can throw monolith, cdproject or any other buzzword good dev, nothing can save this shit.

It makes that Frankenstein of gamebryo looks advanced.
