think-man said: Pokemon is for handheld. It wont pull the same kind of numbers on the home console. |

A full blow Pokemon RPG could easyly steal the top spot in a couple of months, as long as it was advertized and had some quality. Of course some changes would be necessary, but, hey, they could do color versions and we could trade monsters through the miiverse. I am a adult, I don´t have any real friends close by to trade pokemons, to do this online would be amazing, a couple of buddies o´mine here in Vgchartz have a WiiU and would be cool to trade to them.
A lot of people would do the same. Alright, it would not be a smash hit like the 3DS version, but 3 million more WiiUs out there would not be too shabby for Nintendo.
We can even start small, make a Pokemon Colosseum HD for starters.
