Going to agree with you on that one. As a gamer, I find it hard to embrace mobile gaming but with Pokemon go things went in a different direction.

Nintendo didn't develop Pokémon Go - they just licenced out the IP to Niantic.

The Pokemon Company licensed out to Niantic, Nintendo is just a big shareholder of that. Aka, Nintendo did not do anything there.

Incorrect. They actually had a finger on this product.

"The concept for the game was conceived in 2014 by Satoru Iwata of Nintendo and Tsunekazu Ishihara of The Pokémon Company as an April Fools' Day collaboration with Google, called Pokémon Challenge." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Go#Development

I'd recommend Severed

http://severedgame.com/

It's totally designed for mobile but ends up feeling like good console game. It's easily my favorite iOS game to date
