Pokemon is meant to be a face to face social experience. That's why there is no full console rpg. That's why it appeals to kids, a large number of adults, and a handful of teens. If they did a console version it would lack the face to face charm that keeps the series going. Theres a different between sales and being memorable. Many mass sellers won't be well remembered 10-20 years from now.
However Pokemon seems likes it's going on forever.
Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
