I wonder what the future holds for the franchise since Intelligent Systems has explicitly stated they don't have any interest in returning to the RPG formula of the original Paper Mario games.

Fair point.

1. They could change their mind. When did they say they weren't interested? 2020? I know that's pretty recent, but it's not like it's today.

2. Nintendo could effectively coerce them and say they need to make another Paper Mario RPG or lose development power for any future Paper Mario games. I'm not justifying that, but I think Nintendo could do that. 

3. They could get a different developer involved. 

That is a very good point! It's still Nintendo's IP and if Intelligent Systems doesn't want to make another RPG Paper Mario, then Nintendo will find someone else that will lol. 

Hopefully it's something that Intelligent Systems is working on because they've put out 2 WarioWare games and a new Fire Emblem in the past 2 years, so another Paper Mario should be around the corner. If it isn't IS who is working on the remake of TTYD
