Seeing people talk about Super Mario RPG got me thinking, would a more traditional JRPG with Pokemon work? In my mind it would be a setting like PMD, where there are no humans. There would be 5-10 party members and no ability to catch/recruit more pokemon than that. Each party member would be proper characters, and maybe you could do something like optional companion side quests that could lead to there evolution.
Would something like this do well, or is the collecting aspect too necessary to a Pokemon RPG? I know the Pokemon logo will ensure it's a sales success, but compared to other spin-offs do you think it would do better, worse, or average?
