One family, one console (at least per brand per generation). But portables, you could have mutiple for children and their child like parents (like me). That's a lot more copies of the game sold, using much less graphic intensive development process, on a platform that is much more likely to induce other kids and friends to buy both hardware and software to join in.

Console Pokemon does run the risk of sabotaging portable business unless it's really really well thought out. It'll be interesting to see how Monster Hunter 3G handles this. It would be a great Pokemon experience if somehow the portable main franchise can utilize the console version for p2p, mmo, near field censor toy figure, etc. Be genius to have both games playable without each other, yet enhances the exp if you got both. Pokemon done right will all but ensure a profitable generation for Nintendo IMHO.
