It seems possible that Gamefreak just doesn't wanna handle the costs this game could potentially have. Their games are cheap to make, and they make a lot of money from these incredibly cheap handheld games. But if Nintendo can help fund huge open-world games like Xenoblade X, then there's nothing for Gamefreak to be worrying about in terms of needing money, and I'm sure they've got plenty of money either way. I don't buy the whole "It was made for handhelds" nonsense, they're probably fearful of working on a full open world project on a home console, which will require much more attention and time than the handheld games. They like their little comfort zone that handhelds give them where they don't have to try too much to develop, and development times are quick. Pokemon X/Y looks like trash graphically, but I don't blame the system, I blame the developers. It's almost as if they're not capable and they dont want to be capable of something more. If they don't try hard enough on a low spec'd system like 3DS, I can't even imagine what they'll do on a console like Wii U, it'll probably look terrible as well. Before they consider a game like that, they need to first learn how to spend more time and money for more high-quality games, and no, I'm not talking about "gameplay". XY's gameplay is of good quality, but the performance and fidelity is horrible. I want a console Pokemon game (not an MMO), there's no good excuse to not have one, but not with their current capabilities. They never worked on a high-cost game before, have they?
