All they had to do was put maybe 20 SM Pokémon, including a few Alola forms, into GO in September or October. The casual fans or Gen 1-playing adults see the cute seal or the Dugtrio with the awesome hair, and there you go, another sale. I'm sure that conversion rates from GO to SM were quite high as it is, but with a little in-game promotion they could have sold even more. It's a huge misstep that they didn't bother with this.
