Could the endless runner angle be the "change" in the Mario series Miyamoto was talking about for NX?

I agree with software boosts, but even those seem short term lived. Pokemon games aren't still flying off shelves. It would be much wiser to actually appeal to the crowd for long term goals. 

According to the most recent sales charts we have here, we have a Pokemon game at #2 and at #5 and both of them are well over a year old. Thats really good and yeah, I'd consider that flying off the shelves.

Further, Pokemon GO made a ridiculous amount of money. Add in boosts to other Pokemon games and Pokemon merch and I struggle to agree when you say that anything else would have been "wiser". No matter how you slice it, Nintendo games on mobile is looking pretty damn "wise".
