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