After reading that the main series of Pokemon will not be coming to consoles anytime soon I got to thinking about what Spinoff I might like to see. As many of you may be aware there's a fairly well established history of lackluster Pokemon spin offs on Nintendo's consoles, but one I remember enjoying was Pokemon Snap.
It might not be worth it to them to make it given I doubt many people today had much experience with the game or have thought about it in some 15 years, but I recall thinking that it was a lot of fun... I think I spent almost a week trying to get the perfect 10,000 point Mew picture, and my friends and I would get them printed out on stickers at Toys R Us to compare at school.
Personal anecdotes aside, it does strike me as a game uniquely suited for the Wii U. Given that it was a rail shooter (except slow and with a camera haha) it seems the perfect game to utilize the gamepad for pictures much like what was done on certain levels of Captain Toad recently... You interact with the environment via normal controls and the TV, but switch over to the gamepad for snapping the picture.
Gamepad aside, the Wii U would allow for massive improvements in Graphics, level design and AI over its N64 counterpart; they really could make a beautiful, fun game if they chose to.
It was just a thought, anyway, as Pokemon Snap was just about the only Pokemon spinoff that I found fun and original, whereas most strike me as being half-assed shovel ware as often as not. Obviously it would be one of the great flukes of history if this game actually was made (I'm fully aware that there's about zero chance of it happening), but was just curious if any other Wii U owners would have any interest in it. :)
