The complicated ownership of thePokémonfranchise could lead to problems with thePokémongames come to Nintendo Switch Online in the future . Nintendo ca n’t just throw the games on the service in the same it can with theSuper Mario Bros.games , and there ’s a good reason to think this wo n’t be the case .

A paid Gen 1 or Gen 2 sheaf withPokémon Homecompatibility and the power to dally / trade with others would sell a deal on the eShop and would have more note value than throwing them on Nintendo Switch Online .
