I hope they realize and understand that their games won't play well on smartdevices! IF they're considering smartdevices, hopefully they'll test the waters with some old NES games, but I highly doubt that's the right decision.

Or they could just partner with someone and release a DS branded smartphone with game controls like the xperia play.  Everyone with a smartphone could play any game, but the nintendo one would do it the best.  Imagine putting the old pokemon games officially on the Play store with online battles and trading added in.  They would be printing money...

Well, as far as I can recall, the Xperia Play didn't sell that well, did it? And I think know that Nintendo wants to be more in controll than simply team up with someone to add a few buttons on their phones. Nintendo wouldn't want their games to be played on other devices than their own. A Nintendo phone could work, but their games shouldn't appear on iOS or android...

But yeah, having an online Pokémon with battles and all would print money.

Yeah a sony handheld with not even half the support of the Vita, no library, and no marketing sold ok (They didn't lose money).  No surprise.  You're also right about Iwata Nintendo wanting control, and as such they will continue to "Control" their company incompetantly.
