I'm not disputing that Pokemon is an RPG, but it's never felt like a real RPG to me. More like an adventure game with turn based battles and lots of collecting. It's like many of Nintendo’s games, they seem to borrow elements of RPGs without actually created a traditional game for the genre. Maybe that's just me...

I wouldn’t be disappointed with another DS game in the same style as D/P even if it's just a remake of G/S or a third version (Emerald was fairly unique for a 3rd version). That's not to say I wouldn't like to see a main entry to the series in 3D that ditches the 'evil team' (it was old in G/S), it’s time the main character had real strife to resolve. Both real time and turn based could work well, but I guess it’s a case of why change what isn't broken? I can’t see GF changing battles to real time on a permanent basis because the current style has gradually built into a complex system over the years - there doesn't seem to be a reason to mess with it. As a one off I'd like to try a new style but on the whole wouldn't want the core games to change.
