Nintendo's smartphone plan is to give mobile users a watered down, inferior experience to what they could get on a Nintendo console in the hopes that they'll buy a Nintendo console after getting a taste of Nintendo games. Pokemon Sun and Moon sold extremely well, and I am fairly certain it had a lot to do with Pokemon Go.

It's a good strategy too. You give smartphones simpler games to play that better suit the device (no complex input devices but it has built in GPS and gyro and shit for stuff like Pokemon and Mario) and give people a taste and increase brand recognition for your dedicated gaming devices and bigger budget games. Mario Run isn't supposed to be a proper Mario games, it's an endless runner with a Mario theme. "Real" Mario will require real Nintendo hardware. It's clever, if a little jewish.

pokemon games usually sell well, the main issue with Pokemon for nintendo is that they make very slim money from it.
