I wonder how long GameFreak can coast on the rehashed catch-em-all, 8-badges, Team "Rocket" formula.
It makes me kind of upset that we will never get a fully realized 3D Pokemon console rpg in the vein of Dragon Quest VIII and Ni No Kuni. It's weird because GF is okay with weird spin-offs like Mystery Dungeon, Conquest, and Tekken, but anything resembling a "traditional" Pokemon adventure has to be locked into the same washed out handheld game structure.
It's probably because Nintendo looked at the performance of games like Colosseum and XD:GoD, and figured it wasn't worth the effort, even though neither of those games comes close to what people actually want out of a console Pokemon game.
Thoughts?
