I don't see why a Pokemon game boosting sales is so unimaginable. The thing with it is, it needs to be a proper, full version of Pokemon (possibly mmo-esque, but at least Monster Hunter levels of co-op play), ideally developed by Game Freak.  Not some company I had to look up on Wikipedia who apparently have done nothing of note since their ill-fated Gamecube attempts (although Colosseum really wasn't that awful).

The problem with this is: why would Nintendo want to do that? Unless it was some kind of home console crisis where they had exhausted all their other avenues *coughMarioKart* and the thing still wasn't taking off, there would just be no point. Game Freak can just use less resources to make a handheld title which would still sell more copies, thus netting more profit.

So yeah. Unlikely, but you never know.

And to answer the question, as I hinted at before, the answer is most likely Mario Kart. Or, Mario Kart + new Mario platformer + price cut. Since we've seen that one work recently!

I just don't see a Pokemon game on a Home Console selling, despite how much GameFreak and Nintendo put into it. Pokemon is traditionally Handheld and I think it'll remain there for quite a long time as many people like having that pick up and go factor for these types of games.

Then again, we never really know what the future holds.
