So it is a Metroid-Prime-worthy game? All the review sites agreed it was made linear and easier. Were they all lying or something?

All the review sites? Show me any that said it was too linear.the only one I than think of that said anything close was gamespot, and in the same review they contradicted that claiming "They didn't change much from the Prime formula." IGN and Gametrailers call it the best in the Prime series both hammering home many times that it had all the great prime elements like backtracking and exploration.

What elements? I have four moves. I pick one. Basic stats determine how much HP is lost. Repeat for six pokemon. That didn't change, and I didn't expect it to. I meant changing the Rival + Evil Team takes over world + Eight Gyms + Elite Four + HMs system. It was exactly the same. Even the graphics didn't use the special features of the DS: Touch and true 3D.

Yes, that's all there is to Pokemon. It's not like there are IVs, EVs, breeding, abilities, equipped items, egg moves, combination moves like Baton Pass, 17 types, STAB bonuses, dual types, and weaknesses. Those are just a few of the gameplay elements that have changed. Compared to Red and Blue in which there were 15 types, no dual types, only 1 attack stat, and weaknesses. Of course the plot didn't change. The game has to be accessible to kids.

If you think the strategy isn't deep though again I suggest you play online. If you refuse to play online that's your shortcomming not the game's. The graphics were 2D in battle only, but I would much rather have detailed 2D sprites than ugly 3D ones. You used touch screen to select moves. It's a turn based RPG. Of course you aren't going to start slashing at the other Pokemon with the stylus....

If you thought anything was going to be realeased in Q4 2006 or Q1 2007 you obviously hadn't read news within a year of the Wii's launch. They have announced Pikmin. They stated it's in production at E3 this year. F-Zero hasn't been, but a new F-Zero is released every generation. Same with Star Fox. You asked "what else is there?" I told you. I forgot Donkey Kong anyway, which I would bet you will show up as well. Kirby has an official Wii sequel announced, and all of those games will be on the Wii within the next couple years, including a true Star Fox. Not to mention Fire Emblem and the many Mario Sports games.

Disaster is Nintendo second party. It's made by Monolith who is owned my Nintendo. Smash Bros. was made by Hal who is owned by Nintendo, Metroid by Retro, Pokemon by Game Freak, Donkey Kong used to be Rare, etc. If you refuse to accept Nintendo second party then you obviously don't play many Nintendo games at all, and you should never ever buy a Nintendo system.

As I said you have the right to your opinion but it's not well supported by your statements and doesn't make much sense. Again, if you dislike all these Nintendo games like Pokemon and such I don't see why you ever played Nintendo systems in the first place.
