If Square Enix can get away with selling six old as fuck Final Fantasy games at 80 dolars... why would Nintendo give their old GB/GBA Pokémon games "for free"?

Because the six FF games you are referencing arent just ports from their original releases.

They'll either release the original games on NSO and the remakes of the older generations as separate releases like they did with 1st and 2nd gen games on 3DS.

@OT - Nice, I'm glad its not 10th gen or remakes of 5th gen. I'll take this.

The Final Fantasy games was just an example. Sure, they have remastered music and... remastered sprites? I don't think that's quite the word, but whathever. My point is they are still old games sold on nostalgia at a very expensive price (especially the physical release).

If Square Enix was very successful withthat approach with a series much less popular than Pokémon... I think the course of action is very clear. They could follow suit and basically sell Gen 1-3 at 80 dolars with close to zero developement costs and obtain ridiculous amounts of money from the tens of milions sales they would make. 

Or they could put them on NSO, which most of their Pokémon fans already have and make significantly less money.
