Not to mention that games that aren't portable hurt your ability to trade with others...which is one of the big draws in Pokemon. If you were to make such a game you'd either have to trade via WiFi or within your own files.
If there were to be a 3D pokemon game that was not on a portable system I'd imagine the 3D world would resemble more along the lines of Disgaea rather than World of Warcraft. And that its battle would be seperate, resembling X+Y's current style of battle.
