I have taken some Electronics classes where we talk a lot about computers and I hear of people making their own gaming computer from scratch which is pretty admirable in my opinion, but the debate between Consoles/Handhelds vs PC often arises. The PC in itself is very versatile and powerful, evidence of that is in the fact that the PC is the tool that composes the very games that go on Consoles and Handhelds.
Regardless, when playing games on the Console or on the Handheld, I think it has a particular feel to it that would be lost if it was on a PC or any other medium for playing the game! For Example, Main-Series Pokemon Games have always been on the handheld and they emphasize friendship, connectivity, and interaction on-the-go! If it were on a Console or a PC, you wouldn't get the same feeling of connectivity as encountering someone in your day, battling, and trading with them whilst also making a new friend in the process with you only carrying a little handheld in your pocket to do so (Pocket-Monsters).
Do you think that games can perhaps lose parts of the experience or genuine feel to the game if it were on different mediums for gaming (Such as Handheld Games on Consoles/PCs, Console Games on Handhelds/PCs, or PC Games on Handhelds/Consoles) and Why? I used an obvious example with Pokemon, but have you noticed any other games that would lose its feel/part-of-the-experience if on another Medium? Or, do you think games would retain its experience regardless of the medium of which it is played by?
