I do think it's a possibility, especially given how Wii U sales have gone so far. Notice that the only time so far that Pokemon RPGs were released on a home console in the past were on the Gamecube, about two years after launch? I don't think it's coincidence - I think Pokemon is one of the franchises that they will only make on console when the system is struggling.
Off-screen play is one benefit, but a bigger one is the online capabilities. They don't have to go full MMO to make it a huge-seller, in my opinion - simply having MMO-like elements would probably be OK; quests (cooperative) and battle facilities (competitive) with a wide variety of rules and features would work well.
