New pokemon game... or whatever it is

[TheGame]

The Pokemon party part of Pokemon stadium was the ONLY thing I liked about that game... so I'm sure that is Pokemon game will be cool.

As far as Pokemon RPG coming out for Cube or future Nintendo consoles... doubtful. For two Reasons:

1. Pokemon means Pocket Monsters... key word pocket. Some of the properties of the orginal game design would not be able to be pulled off on a console. Like walking down a street, finding a complete stranger and trading with him/her. Of course, online play may be key to making a console pokemon game possible, but we all know that Nintendo isn't serious about online gaming.

2. The fact that GBA needs an exclusive title to stay on top. Believe it or not, most of GBC's and GBP's sales were made when Pokemon games were released. If The Gamecube or any future Nintendo cansole got this game, demand for Gameboys will cut so fast Nintendo's head will spin. Some people are buying Gameboys right NOW because of the future hope for a Pokemon game.

I think the only way GCN or future Nintendo systems will get a pokemon RPG is if Nintendo is getting crushed into a near death on the console market. Nintendo may be saving this card for a savior of the Nintendo product name (even though it would hurt GBA at the same time).

Right now, from a marketing standpoint... there is no point.

If horrible games (yes, I believe they are horrible) like Pokemon Stadium and Pokemon Snap can top sales charts, an RPG will take it off the charts, maybe the best seller of all time. But right now, they need to wait to pull that card.
