What you suggest is called abusing a license, rather than taking the best out of it. It is a very bad idea, and while it can make more money for a short time, it will hurt the franchise in th long run. A fine exmaple is the one you mentioned, 2D vs 3D mario games. While galaxy was an exceptionally good game (recieved top score on vgchartz), it didn't sell half as much as NSMBW, because that's what people expect from a mario game. It's okay to experiment with spinoff games, but for a main title of a series it's best to stick with the winning formula.
Other than that, I think we both made our points, and there's not much more room for new arguments. so, here's my final predictions:
1) Wii won't get a revision, with or without any of the features you mentioned, though a slight redesign is possible. Also there will likely be a new addon of some sort, but it probably won't be the vitality sensor (or so I hope).
2) There won't be a main pokemon title (aka new pokemon generation) for Wii. There may still be a spinoff title, or even a companion game to a portable main title.
3) To be more on topic with this thread: The Wii will sell 101.3m by the end of 2011.
