When I saw those pics a couple of days ago it got me thinking how Nintendo could use the Pokemon hype to boost Wii U sales without actually releasing a full blown Pokemon on a home console. I never played Colloseum so maybe my idea is old but here it goes:
What if Nintendo releases an online lobby / arena application on the Wii U eShop that looks like the one in the OP? You would enter the lobby as your Mii and transfer your Pokemon over from your 3DS game. In the lobby you could chat with other Pokemon fans, form teams and challenge other players/teams to battles/teambattles in an arena. The app would require a permanent online connection and Nintendo might provide servers to prevent hacking/duping/cheating. There would be leaderboards and something you could earn and transfer back to the 3DS version, maybe ribbons, trophies, Pokemon colors, I don't know. Also, aren't there Yu-Gi-Oh type Pokemon cards? Let's also have this incorporated into the app. I'm talking a card game tournament area and I'm talking Pokemon cards with NFC technology to build your decks.
Thoughts? I'm not a Pokemon fan but to me that sounds like a true real life destroyer aka success.
Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.
