Gameplay
Development
Nintendo Pocket Football Club was developed over the course of six years.[2] The game's development began on the Nintendo DS; because the original title had been released late in the Game Boy Advance's life cycle (despite discussions of moving the game to the Nintendo DS), the team decided that it would be best to remake the game for the newer hardware.[3] As the game's development took longer than expected, however, development then shifted to the Nintendo 3DS platform.[3]
When developing the new version, Sonobe was intent on not adding more further and more complex mechanics to the gameplay as most sequels would have.[2] Sonobe also developed the game to minimize the amount of player interaction while maintaining enough to keep players engaged.[2] The game's network functionality was the one aspect he spent the most time working on.[3]
