The Holy Trinity 2010?

Puffy, great read. But I must agree with Onyxmeth in a sales point of view the big sellers so far will be SMG2 and Wii Vitality. But I doubt Zelda is 2010, that's why I'm so bitter at Nintendo for releasing 2 DS games in 2 years and no Wii games for 5 years if it indeed comes in 2011.  Let's wait.  It has even been announced officially.

But I'm predicting an huge megaton for the Wii, a true Pokemon game for next year. Yes, I believe it will happen. Game Freak is pretty much done with the DS. If you look closely, you will see that GameFreak always releases a new iteration of Pokemon that comes with 2 versions simultaneously (Diamon/Pearl this gen), then later they release a third game which is an enhancement to the previous 2 (Platinum this gen) and finally remakes from the Pokemon games of 2 gen before (Gold/Silver this gen from the GBC era). Fifth Gen didn't see these remakes of which you speak.  Then again, it was only 2 gens on GB so.. yea. Firered and Leafgreen were released to rectify the omitations of over 150 Pokemon in Ruby and Sapphire.  Also Emerald came out after Firered and Leafgreen. Other than that, the remakes are to reinforce that the events of Red/Blue/Yellow happened at the same time as Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald and that the Events of Gold/Silver/Crystal happened at the same time as Diamond/Pearl/Platinum.

So GameFreak will be totally free after September, and unless Nintendo is planning on releasing a new handheld by next year, they will have enough time to work on a Wii game, that IMO they have already started working in alongside HAL. Yeah, GameFreak and HAL are making a Pokemon game that will launch next year. HAL has been very quiet and Kirby seems to be a game that is taking too long, so it's not their main focus right now, GameFreak will be free by September and won't make a new installation of Pokemon handheld games until Nintendo's next Portable Console launches, which will not happen next year considering the DS is still selling 30 million units/year.  You're forgetting that Hal Lab also develops the Pokemon Ranger titles and there may be a third entry in the works.  Also what's really to say that Pokemon's fifth gen is limited to Nintendo's next handheld?

If Pokemon does arrive next year, it will be the best seller no matter what, unless it's a Stadium one, but I believe this time around it will be a fully fledged Pokemon game. The Wii is due in for a Pokemon game since 2007, and lately it has been getting smaller WiiWare games, suggesting they are building up hype for something big.  The Mystery Dungeon titles are big in themselves, selling ~3 million units per iteration so why wouldn't they expand to Wiiware?  Also Melee! Pokemon Scramble is basically a follow-up to Pokemon Ranch.  I doubt there will be a Pokemon from Game Freak for Wii but I do believe that Genius Sonority may release a sequel to Battle Revolution in the next couple of years.    

That's my theory. Meh, more like a fanboy wet dream.
