I will only play Pokemon on a console

Ha ha, what. You haven't even played the games, by your own admission. They're a huge part of it.

Yeah... What? I've played every core Pokemon game to date and multiple spin offs. I know more about Pokemon than you probably do words in the english language. Nice try though.

"Pokemon hasn't been about "catching them all" since the 90's. It's about catching your favorites, and that's it"

They brought back gotta catch em all for gen 6, and the game is now designed around catching and getting as much as you can.

No, they didn't. They brought back the slogan as a promotional event. Once. For a few weeks. Nice try though.

"Who the hell cares about the story? This is a video
game."

Double. What.

Can't help you there.

"Pokemon is already open world, but it's limited by
handheld tech that only allows it to be a topdown
game, or risk sacrificing it's map size. That's why
it needs to be on consoles. That limitation is no
longer there."

And here, I'll just repost from my previous comment that already argues most of your points.

"The 3DS has the power to make a 3D Zelda. Yet
Nintendo decided to still make another top-down
Zelda, because more power didn't mean they did
not see validity in the style of play. 

No. The did because they hadn't made a top down Zelda in a while and 3D Zelda would be better served on home consoles because more power absolutely serves that kind of play, and anything they attemped on the 3DS would be vastly inferior to what would be done on a home console. Obviously.

 South Park
was only animated like that to be cheap. Now
they can afford to animate it fully, but kept the
limited style anyways. More power doesn't mean
the series is obligated to change, and so, just
because they have a Wii U now doesn't mean
they are obligated to go to it."

Yes it absolutely does mean they're obligated to change. This isn't a TV show. There is no parellel between South Park and Pokemon. If Pokemon was like South Park, it would still be using 8bit sounds and black and white sprites. Pokemon has modernized. It hasn't doesn't done it enough, it's because of hand helds, and yes, it does need to get it done on the Wii U. They are obligated to change. Points dismantled. Nice try. Good bye.
