I don't think it will have a big impact in either direction because it's SO basic at the moment.
all of the die hard Pokemon fans (which there are a ton of) are probably a bit annoyed at the simplicity of 'Go'. and I don't think mobile gamers are necessarily going to magically invest in a 3DS. that said a lot of casuals really like Pokemon and already buy the mainline series. Its sort of why a lot of people were not surprised when Pokemon GO was such a hit; when the mainline franchise has EVERY game selling like 10million+ copies then its already extremely popular with casual gamers.
it may get slightly more people interested butttttt the mobile game and the handheld game are like apples and oranges in terms gameplay
