Fans of the franchise are in luck. If Pokémon GO continues to add success and money thanks to the faithful community that has followed it since 2016 on mobile phones, it is now known that by March 2020 there will be a new title availableYes, for mobiles. And yes, Pokemon. Of course, at the moment it is not known around what genre. In fact, few more details are known about it. Will they finally make the leap to release a complete, capable and deep title like the GameBoy Pokémon games?
The news comes through the official Twitter account of a journalist from The WallStreet Journal, where part of a report for investors is published. This report confirms that the Pokémon Company, the company that manages the rights and franchise of Pokémon, has reached an agreement with the developer DeNA to create a new title It will be from Pokémon, there is no doubt. But for now the details are internal, and will only be published when appropriate.

Now, in the journalist's tweet or message the information is clearly transcribed: the title will arrive by March next year . So hopefully it won't take too long to give some clue about it.
DeNA is a Japanese game and app developer, and no stranger to Nintendo. In fact, it has been in charge of creating and adapting titles such as Super Mario Run or Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp to mobile platforms. Of course, this time the agreement would be with the Pokémon company, and not with Nintendo itself. And apparently the change could be very interesting. Especially for the investors behind these companies. Or that is what the report published in a second tweet says.
According to the information shared, Nintendo is reluctant to ask its customers for money. Or at least, to do it in new ways and adapted to the mobile market. Something that we saw, for example, with the launch of Super Mario Run, where the direct payment of 10 euros was required to be able to fully enjoy the title.But Pokémon Company has another vision of the market In fact, it already takes advantage of other resources such as integrated purchases, elements within the games (key objects) or even compromising situations ( that you run out of space to carry Pokémon in Pokémon GO) to ask for money through their games. Something that would lead investors not to hesitate when it comes to paving the way for DeNA and the Pokémon Company to launch a product of this type.
