No, it shows Nintendo is still sitting on a gold mine with Pokemon but need to find newer and more exciting games to take the franchise in. Aside from the whole "free factor" of Go, the other reason it's huge is because it's somethign new with a franchise there is still a lot of deep rooted love for. I LOVE the main games, but the fact is the formula has been kinda stale for awhile. Now more than ever is the time for that home console Pokemon MMORPG on NX.
Just as I predicted last year when everything looked doom and gloom for Nintendo, this year has already taken HUGE strides towards improving Nintendo's rep in the industry. First we have Breath of the Wild totally dominating E3 and enamoring virtually everyone that played it, and now we have Pokemon resurging in a huge way. And even if Go isn't directly tied to Nintendo, it still casts a huge favorable light on them as evidenced by the stocks. Now that they have built some legitmate goodwill this year for maybe the first year all decade, it's the last time they need to be thinking about abandoning the console/handheld market. The door is open for NX to really turn things around assuming they don't screw it up like the Wii U launch.
