>>33813471In the hypothetical scenario where the Switch game flopped (which it won't unless it's a spinoff, and even then probably not) and they released a game with basically the same mechanics and gameplay on a smartphone, I think the biggest disadvantages would be that I imagine it's probably easier to polish the game on a set platform than on a platform that runs on 50 different brands and where models become outdated in like 6 months and that no matter what payment method they chose ("free to start" or full price), they'd get shit for it. I think it Pokemon flopped on the Switch, that would just be a good sign that they need a new portable system, not that they need to move on to smartphones. If a main series Pokemon game can't sell a portable system, that system is doomed.
