Brand was probably a bad word, I mean purely from a gaming stand point. Also I beg to differ on Pokemon as a game not being very big as a gaming franchise. 

We you add up the sales of all the rehashed Pokemon games. Yes. Pokemon is a successful gaming franchise but not big outside of it's core demographic. It does not sell well on Nintendo's home consoles. Add the fact most games in the series are bundled. Really it's a smoke screen that Nintendo has used for years. A well cracted smoke screen but a smoke screen none the less. Interesting to note is that nothing that advances gaming will come from this and this will further take Nintendo down the mediocre road that they have been on since the Wii.

I mean you could literally say that about any  franchise. Pokemon has always been mostly a handheld game. UC games are heavily bundled, but that doesn't take away the fact they they still sell well on their own (like Pokemon games do). Idk if this will advance gaming or not, but it's good news for Nintendo and is a nice break form endless NX speculation.
