Spirit Tracks was a failure. It was a culmination of how low the Zelda series have fallen. Windwaker and Twilight Princess have sold more than it with a smaller userbase to boot. Compare the first Zelda to Spirit Tracks and you'll be scratching your head trying to find out where the similarities are. Then, compare Super Mario Bros and New Super Mario Bros Wii. Very similar, yet both of them were very successful. If any Nintendo series has a much-needed change, it is Zelda.
As for Pokemon, they should only try to do it as a spin-off. Nothing else. And rarely do spin-offs take off (Mario Kart is a very good exception to the rule) My real gripe with Pokemon is the fact that Nintendo released three Generations (if you count the Gold/Silver remake) in a span of 4 years. Yet, contrary to my gripe, they still sell very well.
