Not at all, its a fair question.

Ultimately, I have immense skepticism that mainline Pokemon games in their current, high-quality form will survive more than one or two iterations on the enormously diverse iOS and Android platforms.

Hey, I could be wrong. But the problem is, if I am right, we'll only know by the time its too late to put the genie back in the bottle.

It wouldn't all be Nintendo's fault either. There is immense resistence amongst the vast majority of mobile users to pay more than $10 for a game in one hit.

Yeah sadly the race to the bottom has made a significant negative impact on the mobile games market. SQEX are like the only publisher I can think of that charge more than that and they rely on cheap to make remakes and selling to a small hardcore crowd who are used to paying a lot for a game.

I agree entirely.

And I am part of the problem.

I spent ~$200 on games in the last 3 months. I doubt I'd spend more than $10 in one hit on a mobile game though.

And I am to an extent part of the target market. I play old Gameboy era Pokemon games on mobile for example.
