What does Pokemon GO do for Nintendo until the NX?

if they integrate pokemon GO accounts with pokemon sun and moon, it will drive 3ds sales for sure.


I don't know how pogo and the nx could help each other directly

Pokemon go is 3rd party

Nintendo is done, it's over.

After Pokemon Go they should, they would have never hit these numbers on their own devices.

Well I did preorder the new 3ds monster hunter edition today, after being on the fence about it, the new Pokemon as well.

At this point the wii was an exception. Even then their attach rate was bad.

Who gives a shite about the numbers when it would make them creatively bankrupt? Seriously, how can they make a Metroid, Zelda, or Mario game on an iPhone? Pokemon has always been meant for mobile. There's a reason they never attempted to make a mainstream Pokemon game onto a home console. It just wouldn't work.

All they did was bring Pokemon in the real world, which any fan of the series has wanted. No one has had this thought with any of Nintendo's other franchises. That's why it works, and Nintendo's other franchises for the most part wouldn't work on mobile devices. All I can think of that would work are Animal Crossing, Warioware, and Dr. Mario. The rest would sink (although Fire Emblem is somewhat feasible).

The day Nintendo leaves the console market is the day video games die. They have been the innovators in the industry, save for online. That's the only thing Nintendo hasn't been the innovators of in the industry. Almost everything else that Microsoft and certainly Sony has gotten in the industry Nintendo devised first. Creativity would be dead in favor of bullshite companies like EA and Ubisoft.

You were in the right direction until this.

Pokemon Stadium
Pokemon Snap
Pokemon Stadium 2
Pokemon Colosseum
Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness

All on home consoles.

Why haven't they attempted to do a game where you're a trainer and seek to be the best trainer in the land?

Colosseum and XD were pretty much that. I doubt it was because they didn't think it'd work. Moreso the fact that creating a game the size and scale of a full-fledged pokemon game at the graphical level of the gamecube/wii generation wasn't possible on their consoles' hardware. That's a LOT of models and features in a game at those times. Not to mention the world size would have to rival of not surpass that of Twilight Princess.
