>>36335230They'd actually manage to be even more profitable than any tiddy-based mobage out there if they just made a Mainline-Lite Game like LGPE but, y'know, actually put it on fucking mobile, make it F2P and then goad them into paying so they can get past Stamina Timegates, EXP Rate Ups because grinding will take too long without them, Poke Balls with better catchrates so you can catch more than Pidgeys and Bottlecaps so their Pokemon can have Max IVs as the odds are either nonexistent or horrifyingly low, and NPCs actually basically require you to have max IVs to stand up against them about halfway through the game.
Then just release a bunch of events that are even harder than the main campaign that require Pokemon from whatever event banner is currently active to even stand a chance, and the money will roll in even harder.
