Poke company wants the main series ONLY on handhelds.....


I doubt they will change thier mind. :(

I wouldn't jump to that conclusion. It's pretty obvious that Nintendo is considering ways to boost the Wii U's sales, and Pokemon is their most dependable franchise of all, even beyond Mario (note that I didn't say biggest). With 3DS getting remakes of Gen 3, which itself contained remakes of Gen 1, it would probably be a fairly clever move to make the second round of remakes of pokemon games a home console release - after all, the Gen 1 remakes are now three generations old, aren't even compatible with the new handheld (the game itself, not connectivity between generations), and it would be a very popular release given how people feel about Kanto.

That being said, I don't actually expect it. When it comes to home console Pokemon, I'm expecting either a new Orre title, or perhaps this rumoured "Pokken" game with a built in Pokemon Stadium type mode. I am pretty confident that Wii U will be getting a pokemon game with classic battling in some form.

I've said it many times, Nintendo should make two different kinds of mainline pokemon games. One for handhelds and one for consoles. The handheld one would stay the same, while the console games would have a different battle system, where you controll the pokemons movements and use the environment to your advantage. Sort of like the battles in the anime. Now THAT would be an awesome game!

Pokemon Colosseum and XD need a remake, but I prefer an expansion. The Orre region needs more atention, so a sequel to XD would be perfect.

The main Pokemon games will always come out for handheld, while a Snap sequel or perhaps Pokken Fighters might come for the WiiU!

Yes, yes, a game like Stadium/2/XD/BR, the new rumored whatever (not a fan of that ''pokken'' idea but it's ok), yes, a game like that WILL be on Wii U, i bet my flawless Spiritomb (hey i love that guy) it will; A remake/remaster of a main game or even crazier a new game that sketches (notice the reference) what we see on handhelds, i bet my flawless Spiritomb again, WILL NEVER happen.

Ah, but see, a remake is a little different from the other cases (new "main game"). Ocarina of Time 3D was done by an external studio, and they didn't need to come up with new content, they just needed to adapt existing content. The same could be said of a remake of Fire Red/Leaf Green - adapting existing content (perhaps with a bit of extra content, but only for the sake of connecting things up to the other games).

Beyond the story and the base gameplay, the only "downside" to a console remake is that you can't just take your pokemon with you when you leave the house... except that, since most Wii U owners will probably have a 3DS, they could just have a connectivity option that allows you to put your pokemon on your 3DS, which could then be able to battle against others in a little mini battle simulator and trading system. Not to mention that they could also make use of the Amiibo system and have a Pokeball Amiibo included with the game that lets you store some pokemon in it, allowing you to take your pokemon with you.

It's certainly achievable, and it would neatly address concerns that Game Freak has. Besides, XD and Colosseum were basically the same in terms of overall structure as the main games, just with a few twists and no regular wild pokemon. And I'd expect a third Orre title to move more towards the main game style anyway, since Orre seemed to be transitioning towards a gym system and was attracting wild pokemon in XD.

First XD and Colosseum weren't ''basically the same'' as the main games, obvious similarities but they were totally different >_< similar games are fine, totally unrelated games that carry the pokemon name (snap, remember puzzle league? xD or anything new) are fine, there will likely be one or two on wii u  but with the main games is another tale i didn't say it wasn't possible pal, nor they (nintendo not gf) wouldn't have reasons to make one, mainly financial, nor did i say they couldn't give it to an external studio, i did say that they will not do it, under any circunstance a main game or main game style game will exist for a home console, never, nope, nein, no.

Probably won't happen, but it should. It is the single dumbest thing Nintendo has ever done to not make money.

"basically the same in overall structure" - meaning, you have a starting location where you get a starter pokemon, then go through various battles with regular people and the evil team. Every once in a while, you face off against a more powerful opponent, and after beating them, you get access to more than you had before. The game culminates in a final battle sequence that involves beating multiple strong opponents in a row, after which there is post-game content. And the actual gameplay is mostly the same, with the only difference being the added "shadow pokemon" mechanic. XD especially did this, by even having the local Pokemon Professor specialising in something that was peculiar to the region (in this case, Shadow Pokemon), some "pre-gym" locations, and a final sequence that involved a location not unlike Victory Road.

All that's really missing is the gym system.

And you keep saying they won't do it, in absolute terms... but you have yet to provide any reason, any justification for that statement. If it's just your opinion, then this is one place where you should use appropriately opinion-y words.
