Pokemon is a very grindy experience, and it's pretty low key. It's not like there are tons of big flashy moments that demand a big screen. It's not especially flashy from a graphics standpoint (creating 650 HD models might be a bit much). I've never really wanted to play Pokemon on a big screen or anything. It's perfect for trips, commute, or casually playing while I do something else, but I don't fee like taking up my TV with EV grinding. The online features could really be implemented on a 3DS anyway, so I just don't see the benefit of console games for the franchise.
