      " Tabata: The old Paper Mario games, they were obviously RPGs and had a lot of good elements, but they weren't just about the  RPG elements. They were full of solving puzzles, solving mysteries, the color factor, the visual style. For the Paper Mario series, we're focusing more on those elements- the puzzle solving."

This is true and it does makes sense, I don't know why some people are convinced that an action-adventure-puzzle game cannot work without being a purist rpg.

I also understand that they find stupid to have 2 Mario rpg series specially now that their new console is an hybrid, because the fact that one used to be a handheld game and the other a console one doesn't apply anymore.

However is true that they choosed the best and older saga to make those changes which is very questionable, but when you think about it, Paper Mario is way more flexible (no pun intended) as a game, it would be way harder to make Mario & Luigi work without being and rpg than it would with Paper Mario as it has more room for creativity.
