There are 4 main parts of the Pokemon franchise:
1. Games
2. Anime
3. Cards
4. Manga
Then there is the merchandise, that pokes its head into various extensions to test them out and see if they're viable business choices (Pokemon amusement park anyone?).
The question of this thread is, what kind of product would you like Pokemon to make to add to the franchise and why? Why do you think they aren't a part of that medium already?
The question is hard to phrase so I'll answer it myself here:
I think Pokemon should put more effort into making books. They have a few out that are basically rehashes of anime episodes and such, but they don't have any real novels that I'm sure people would love. But I guess they don't think to get into real novels because Pokemon has a habit of not catering to the older fans of the franchise, and the anime books seem to be more than enough for the younger fans.
Feel free to reply to other ideas, discuss how it would be best implemented, etc.!
