*cough* Pokemon Colosseum is pointless because the games now have a built-in Colosseum in the form of the Battle Frontier/Subway/Resort/Maison/Whatever, not to mention online functionality*. Whew, sorry about that. I must be really coming down with something in August. Hope it's not that Zika virus I've been hearing about lately. If you think GF is done with the third wheel model of Pokemon, why do you think a game that hasn't been released in a decade and two Pokemon generations is still a thing? The last Colosseum-like game was Battle Revolution. And guess what? It bombed, at least in terms of Pokemon sales, because it added nothing of value other than battling on a television instead of a DS. A new game of that ilk would be even more pointless, with the advances in hardware and online functionality since then. You talk about what's necessary, but a Colosseum is far more work than a third version of a mainline game, and the only thing it would necessarily add is potentially a new story. And has the ever been a console or Colosseum-like game that had a full, original story that took place in a canon region like Kanto? Nope. |
I simply gave Colosseum as an example...it has happened before but it wasn't made by Gamefreak so I don't care that it bombed because nobody important made it. A game like colosseum really isn't more work than a game like Sun and Moon, there's not nearly as many pokemon, locales, or gameplay. I'm just trying to figure out where you're going witih this.
