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.


Pokemon handheld vs console is like debating Monster Hunter handheld vs console. As long as JP devs believe there's more to be made on handhelds they'll stick to them.
