No one said that the Wii U version doesn't look better. The fact, however, is that Smash 3DS provides a console-like Smash experience on the go. Pokemon doesn't feel like a small console game. Smash 3DS does. That's all I'm getting at.

I'd be happy if those things never touch Pokemon.

Why? You dont have to buy them :-/ (sounds selfish i mean)

Also im thinking that pokemon line will be the amiibo Cards. It makes too much sense.

Smash is no less simplistic than 3DS Pokemon. Surely it wouldn't take much work to smooth out the models and textures, bump it up to HD.

you're trying too hard on the fusion thing.

Noone asking for a console Pokemon RPG wants that. They want a massive open world RPG. It would require bumping down to 3DS, not bumping up to HD.

I hardly think making twice as many Pokemon games is the solution here. It's already practically annualized.

Also, think about what you're suggesting. Instead of developing one game, making some minor changes to it, and selling it as two versions, they'd be developing two entirely different games, effectively doubling their workload. Now take into consideration that one of those games would require HD assets and a huge 3D world and we are so, so far beyond merely doubling the workload. And the end result of this is that you might get some players to buy both games. That does not sound like an attractive proposition for a company who has posted a net loss the past three fiscal years.

GameFreak isn't big enough to churn out games like that. They'd have to become a bloated mess of a dev team to do this.
