it'd probably sell poorly. but thankfully ai will keep getting better and eventually it'll 1-shot demakes and anyone can play any game in any gen style they prefer

Not when the poors won't even be able to afford the crappy pc's to fail to run them though.

the Switch games sold excellently. only the original gen 1 games have outsold them, but that's largely because of Pokemania, and you can't replicate that even by releasing gen 1 style games. there is no reason to think a retro style game would sell better.

that said I actually could see them making a retro throwback game, a lot of companies are doing stuff like that. look at OSRS or WoW Forever. these companies are increasingly aware of the value of nostalgia. GF is surely aware of the popularity of romhacks too. similar to how WoW Forever was obviously inspired by Classic+ fan servers, GF might try to cash in on that. I don't see it replacing the main series games though, it's likely something that would run parallel. the modern games have a huge audience, there's no reason to abandon them.
