Or not. I doubt they have any planning materials or source code (assuming the whole thing wasn’t written in assembler from the get-go) left for the early games, so they’d have to reconstruct everything.

The end result would likely be less efficient, and therefore less profitable, than starting a new Pokemon game from scratch.
