You don't seem to get it.

I don't care about the mainline games. I'm talking about the spin off games. If you weren't already aware they already have deviated from the formula. Pokemon Ranger, Poke Park, Pokemon Rumble, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, those are all official franchise that have deviated hugely from the formula. Compared to those an ABS with the 4 moves mapped to 4 buttons is basically nothing.

The pokemon games are clearly not defined by their battle system, to say Pokemon without turnbased battle system is the same as saying that Super Mario 64 isn't a mario game because the mario games precceding it were 2D platformers.

I never said GameFreak was Lazy or incompetent, I said they are greedy and afraid of change, they consistently make as little change as possible and then remake their old games in the new engines. The Different versions of Pokemon used to actually mean something, now its just a new legendary with a different colored box.

I never mentioned Skyrim at all and if you actually played Skyrim, you would know that the battle system in Skyrim is completely different than what I described.

Its hilarious that you mention COD when this series is basically the COD of handhelds basically unchanged for 17 years. 

Why is Pokemon with ABS now Skyrim? is Mario with Cars now Gran Turismo? Is Metroid in 3D now Halo?

Your whole post is filled with worthless assumptions about what I want and what I'm describing:

I never said I didn't like Turn Based Battle systems, my favorite Mario Series is Paper Mario and I literally made a thread about how COL was a great game barely 3 days ago.

I never said I don't play Pokemon, the only one I bought was Ruby, not because I didn't like pokemon, my issue with the series started way before that, but simply because I never got a handheld device after the GBASP.

I never called GameFreak Lazy or Incomptent, I called them greedy, and that is evident in its marketting and how they handle pokemon.

READ THE FUCKING TITLE, there is your answer on the discussion of whether or not I want a homeconsole pokemon

I never mentioned Skyrim, which is completely unlike anything I described.

Pick one. Does Game Freak fail to innovate within the series or have they deviated from the core concept in the spin-off games?

There are WAY more differences between X and Y than there were between Red and Blue or Gold and Silver.

The point is that there are a lot of different Pokemon games, and just because they haven't made a game that matches your imaginary dream game doesn't mean Game Freak is afraid to take risks. It means they don't want to make that game. And I don't particularly want them to, since it sounds nothing at all like a Pokemon game.

Gamefreak didn't make any of the spinoff titles.

There is still hardly much difference between the previous pokemon games compared to the next ones.

The point is that there has never been a big budget homeconsole pokemon. And also, judging by the poll there is also a lot of people that would like it to have a ABS, instead of being turn based.
