make a gta+minecraft with nintendo touch.

Of course they recognize it but they also recognize that pokemon is their number one handheld seller. Full stop.

They don't want to spend an immense ammount of money on a wii u pokemon rpg when it costs them less to make one for their handhelds. Not to mention potential damage to handheld pokemon game sales that could occur.

But they own the Pokemon Company and Pokemon itself.

They decide what gets done.

I think its one of those deals like Sega with Atlus. Sega owns them but leaves them be. I think if Nintendo meddles too much people would leave the company and it would be a shell of itself like Rare.

Game Freak aren't exactly the most talented of programmers out there though.

lol I agree. But then again I thought that Rare was going to do wonders with MS and that has yet to happen. Hopefully I am proven wrong with the new E3. But game freak punch out million sellers every year, so I understand why Nintendo doesn't want to rock the boat too much.

I personally think Gamefreak should try something new. Get themselves out of the Pokemon world, and maybe make something like a 3D pokemon where you travel around, and fight or capture pokemon, sort of like XCX's open-world. Pepper in some other modes or ideas and that's a fairly decent game.

Make a Pokémon rpg and fund Youkai Watch on the Wii U and watch Wii U put out respectable numbers.

They should get out of the Pokemon world by making a 3D Pokemon game?

No, i was just using that as an example, though it really does look like i'm saying that :P

But in all fairness sticking the 'Pokemon' logo will shift a lot more copies.
