From my point of view it already damaged it. Every time i mention pokemon to anyone they think i mean pogo instead of the literal 20 or 30 or how many there are now games. Also if you live next to a larger metro area counter to what a lot of people say, it is kinda fun to log on for a few mins each day and a catch a few mons. Also, as a pretty serious pokemon collector, its much easier to get rare mons in pogo compared to mainline games.
Yeah but at the same time if you support c++ for example its still extremely relevant language(i like c better tho…) and you could build support onto that stable base instead of using the $hitstorm called java. Well thats my opinion anyways. Maybe ease of use is more important and making phones that are powerfull enough to be used as a laptop is the right path forward. But making android more efficient would take a lot of other things and im not nearly qualified enough for this discussion.
Now you reminded me of the 3ds homebrew scene. It was so fun. Its amazing how active it was as well. But now its at the point where you can homebrew one by scanning a qr code, no need to buy a specific game or special cartridge.
