Why is Nintendo not releasing the old Pokemon games?

Question is above. I've heard that Nintendo has massive problems with Pokemon emulators. The people now pull the games for free, because otherwise they will not get to the games more.

I wonder how stupid that is from Nintendo? Why do not they just publish the games for the smartphone? Demand for 5-10 euro and finished the paint?

Or put in the switch store again?

Is there a logical explanation for the behavior of Nintendo?

It's well known that Nintendo usually has trouble with everything. I'll just say that if you like the games, For the smartphone, just hatred, because most Nintendo fans want to paddle on a console and not on a cell phone. If they put the games in the switch store, I would trust Nintendo to sell the games for an unfair but overpriced price.

Suspect that they are generally more focused on publishing new games.

lo

Nintendo would make many friends if they would just bring the Virtual Console on the switch and thus also old pearls like the old Pokemon games and much more.

And if you just picked good games and not so many cheap scrap games.

But why Nintendo does not do that is also a mystery to me

Define cheap scrap games

Nintendo has a platform for retro games with switch online.

Tested in the trial period and found to be scrap.

There are also Pokemon Red, Blue, Yellow, Silver, Gold and Crystal for the Virtual Console on the 3DS. Why should they offer it additionally on the switch.

Pokemon Ruby / Sapphire were graphically and mechanically polished up with AlphaSaphir and OmegaRubin and even reissued as a 3DS game.

Which, to my knowledge, except for Let's Go, all Pokemon games are running on the 3DS.

lo

By scrap games I mean objectively bad games that most would hardly play. Subjectively, any game can be someone's favorite game.

And the 3ds slowly but surely dies out and the switch is the future of nintendo.

With a virtual console on the swich would be good for those who have no 3ds and would sell that certainly good and the cost of a port on the switch would not be so difficult

As BiBo85 already wrote, the old GameBoy and GameBoy Color games (Pokémon Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver and Crystal) have been re-released for the Virtual Console via the Nintendo 3DS eShop.
I could imagine that these games will eventually come to the switch. But since these are compatible with Pokémon Bank, this application would then have to come for the switch. And at Bank I assume that it will be implemented for the upcoming Switch Pokémon game for the Switch.

Otherwise, there are for most old Pokémon games so also new editions for more up to date consoles. For example, Red, Blue → Fire Red and Leaf Green, Gold and Silver → HeartGold and SoulSilver, Ruby and Sapphire → Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

Sa

The problem is not that you do not get the games, but that those who use the emulators simply do not want to spend money on the console. Nintendo has older games like blue red for newer consoles to download.

But people want everything for free. Maximum fun, but please for free and then pull down emulators.

Port of games with 3 screens on one with a screen

On the handheld, it would be too small to display both and on TV, I find it annoying… But yes…
