^Why isn't it going to happen. What is preventing Nintendo from doing what people want?

There's no real incentive.  Pokemon sells 15m+ on handhelds as is, and the appeal is still fundamentally tied to local play and trading (even if DS added online).   I just don't think Nintendo (or Game Freak/Creatures) sees any real reason to change that formula.

Why would they have to chnage the formula?

Trading and battling could be done with friend codes online, and it's not like the Wii can't handle traditional Pokémon gameplay.

No, I meant change the platform formula (handheld main games).  I think best you can hope for are the Arena-link-up games adding back in a story/RPG mode (like Coliseum/XD).
