same @ mobile not being the way to go
I'm not sure if it's just my attention span or what, but I've never successfully tried to get into mobile games for any extended period of time, and this isn't even limited to Pokemon mobile games, either! Non-Pokemon mobile games like Wizards Unite and the kingdom hearts mobile game I struggle to really get into, and at some point I downloaded Dragalia Lost only to never really touch it again.
I'm the type of person that uses my phone for internet browsing and general communication, and my phone doesn't hold my interest nearly long enough for it to be used on any extensive gaming session. Huge respect to people who can handle that sort of thing because I can't, haha.
But yeah, there definitely should be more attention on the console side of the things because it seems to me that mobile gaming is a congested market these days. What could be the most popular app of tomorrow could very quickly fade out of existence in a few weeks simply due to waning hype. Pokemon Duel iirc was an example of this very thing that people got into just for the hype, but I've not met one person IRL that plays Duel and I almost always see people playing GO around my area. It's a very hit-or-miss market, and every Pokemon game so far that hasn't been GO has mostly faded from people's minds shortly after their release. Magikarp Jump is also a good example of this as I hardly see it being discussed not just here, but also in general these days.
Who knows where Pokemon Masters would end up. Maybe it'll be in a similar boat as Duel and Jump. I think that TPC is trying to create another Pokemon GO-type phenomenon, but I don't think that's really any reason to apparently desert consoles for mobile.
