I don’t disagree. RBGY 3DS was a huge hit.

But the Pokémon Company wouldn’t put their mainline games on the NSO. If they did, Nintendo would have to keep track of how many people are playing the mainline games and give The Pokémon Company a cut of the earnings. Nintendo doesn’t want that, they want to keep all the earnings. Plus then they would have to code the mainline games to not have a pause, and rewind option. Or you’d be getting lost of “hacked” ‘mons. And how would they connect that to Pokémon Home? That is more coding. 

The Pokémon Company instead would just re-re-re-release RBGY and re-re-release GSC and re-release RSE with their own cartridges (like Super Mario 3D All Stars) and have them be around for a limited time (more FOMO). That seems like the more likely scenario.

A lot of publishers choose to go that route with old games that they could have put on NSO: Capcom with Mega Man, Square with Final Fantasy, Konami with Castlevania and so on.

TPC would find it more beneficial to itself to go that route too, so I believe it.

For putting Mainline Pokémon on NSO, let’s agree to disagree. Personally, I think that would be amazing, and a huge reason to get NSO. But wouldn’t be the reality.
If TPC puts their mainline on NSO, how much percentage of income would they receive? If TPC puts their mainline as a physical cartridge, how much income would they make?

TPC is much bigger than all of those companies.
