10 Legendary Games Nintendo Must Bring To Mobile Phones

2. Pokémon

Nintendo€™s most famous portable franchise is a must-have on mobile platforms and the Japanese company has already made some movements in this area. An online version of the Pokémon Trading Card Game was release on iOS last year, closely followed by a collection of mini-games called Camp Pokémon. Whether or not Nintendo would consider releasing a fully-fledged Pokémon game on mobiles remains to be seen, but the fan-favourite Pokémon Snap could use smartphone hardware to its advantage. The phone€™s camera could be used in-game and there€™s also the potential to use augmented reality to take pictures of Pokémon in your everyday surroundings. Although new entries in the series remain popular, the Pokémon franchise has also displayed no hesitation in looking to the past, with re-releases launched for 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation titles. Even something as straightforward as mobile versions of Pokémon Red and Blue would appeal to millions of nostalgic 20-somethings with a smartphone. Whatever route Nintendo decides to take, an official Pokémon mobile game would basically grant them a licence to print money.
