Game Freak will only bring Pokémon to mobile if it solves a 'problem'

If this happens then this will be a huge blow to Nintendo's handheld market. I know Pokemon is not "fully" owned by Nintendo. But they need to keep handheld version 3DS exclusive.

It would pretty much end the handheld market if you ask me. Pokemon is that important to Nintendo.

But I guess it will eventually come. Plus despite control issues pokemon might be playable in ipad / android. Handheld consoles are insignificant.

Pokemon is one of very few franchises that I don't see being hurt because of control issues if moving to Ipads. It's pretty basic, nothing that can't easily be done on a touchscreen, and since timing is no issue, nor accuracy, it would be fine.
