Pokémon Masters is the latest mobile game to draw heavily from console

New York (CNN) Video games are increasingly making the jump from console to your pocket.
The free-to-play game launched Thursday and brought in 5 million pre-registrations in the month before release.
It's a mix of battle and story scenes that incorporate trainers from past console games.
And more characters can be summoned through spending gems in game — the main way for DeNA, the Japanese developer behind "Masters," to monetize.
"The name recognition should help provide a big bump to the initial launch," said Amir Ghodrati, director of market insights at mobile analytics platform App Annie.
