...to not exist, and it probably never will.

See I have an issue with Nintendo's thought process behind openly denying the release of an open world, fully fledged WiiU Pokemon title. Surely it's the game that Nintendo needs to finally kickstart the WiiU as a serious console?

Thoughts?

I wouldn't play X/Y on a console. That just seems...not very Pokemon-like.

Besides, if you want it on your TV so bad isn't there a way to make the game show up on your TV? I know we did that with the original games when we were little. Maybe not now though...with two screens and all.

Why in the world would they release X/Y on consoles?

Kickstart the Wii U as a "serious console" (how laughable)? They got Super Mario 3D World to do that.
If Mario were a system seller, NSMB U would be selling WiiUs right now. Even the fan reaction to SM3DW was weak.

I actually think Pokemon X&Y would be AMAZING on WiiU.

- 1080p graphics. Just up-render, and re-texture as needed (but I am sure Nintendo already has high-res textures for everything)
- ability to manipulate camera freely with right control stick
- full 3D models for the entire game. No chibi.
- more detailed character customization, maybe like in Animal Crossing.
- better online functionality with Nintendo Network.

And it would be very easy for them to make. They could even pair it with your 3DS copy via PGL and you could use the same save file on both 3DS and WiiU.

The NSMB series have never been system sellers. On the other hand, they have long legs, so they sell when people HAVE the consoles, not sell THE consoles. (And let's be honest, as fantastic as NSMBU is, people won't buy a console for a game that looks like what they played before.) This is evident by the attach rate.

3D Land sold more 3DS's than NSMB2 by far.
Even the fan reaction to SM3DW was weak.
Did you miss the latest trailer? The reaction is through the roof right now. People judged too quickly and now they're apparently gladly eating crow.

And then you'll lose the main feature that Pokemon is designed around:
Portability. And frankly, the only thing a console Pokemon would really bring that is nearly necessary is a much improved frame rate.

It's been said many times that Pokemon won't work on consoles (Even the console Pokemon games had to change the design point of the games, like how Colosseum/XD were made to be more traditional RPGs.), so I won't repeat things that have been said many times.

Do you own a 3DS? While it is obviously more portable than a console it's battery life sucks. You must carry the charger with you and always be near a plug.

...Yes? lol
Power-save mode and putting the the brightness setting to 1 works like a charm. I've gone through many 16-19 hour long planes or so without the 3DS battery running out. Besides, you'd be hard pressed to find a place without a plug these days, it's a necessity.

Portability isn't limited to being outside in a mall, by the way. You could be on a holiday, or even visit your friends house. Do you bring your Wii U with you to your friends houses? I don't. Rarely did I ever need the charger. Besides, who plays for 5 hours straight outside?

I'd much rather GameFreak confirm DLC at this point. While I enjoyed the PokeRPGS like Coliseum and XD, I rather enjoy having X and Y with me regardless of where I go. Battery life has never been a problem for me.

What is it with people wanting them to change Pokemon into a different game? If they did things like this .... it wouldn't be Pokemon, it would just be another RPG with a lame story.
If you add me, please message me so I can reciprocate. No, garbage does not make a cute Pokemon, and it smells funny.

It's been said many times that the Earth is flat. Nintendo has not yet used a telescope and seen the orbit of the planets. They have never done a full-scale Pokemon adventure on the console, only half-assed, awkward side games.

Except we're talking about a port... Not a different game at all.

I wouldn't expect them to port the game to the handheld...Even if they were they would do it after a few years of the games having come out...but by then it'll be for the next generation of gaming (and of Pokemon...)

The only Pokemon titles we'll be getting for Wii U are stadium-type titles and possibly PokePark titles (we've recently got a Rumble title). A main Pokemon game on a console will destroy the strongest point of the franchise: portibility. How are you suppose to obtain rare Pokemon or other version-exclusive features without trading? Plus, they're called "Pocket Monsters" for a reason.

Gamefreak and TPC have already confirmed that they have no intention of making DLC for Pokemon X and Pokemon Y.

It's been said many times that the Earth is flat. Nintendo has not yet used a telescope and seen the orbit of the planets. They have never done a full-scale Pokemon adventure on the console, only half-assed, awkward side games.

Nintendo has sold MANY Pokemon games for the consoles. Pokemon Stadium, Stadium 2, Colosseum, Gale of Darkness, Pokemon Battle Revolution, and Pokemon Rumble.

Nintendo does not MAKE any Pokemon games, they just sell them. Smaller companies within Nintendo's exclusive contract make the games. Gamefreak will never make a Console Main Pokemon title because of how they are meant to be played.

Dunno what this is about. Gamefreak stated multiple times that the main branch of the Pokémon franchise won't move ever from the handheld consoles. Is this some sort of imagine thread what it would be like as a what-if idea or something?
I suggest watching the video and it may make a little more sense...

Why in the world would they release X/Y on consoles?

Kickstart the Wii U as a "serious console" (how laughable)? They got Super Mario 3D World to do that.
I working in a gaming retailer in Australia and I can tell you there is very little interest in 3D World, let alone it being strong enough to kickstart the WiiU which currently struggles to attract anyone outside Nintendo tragics.

I only see and hear someone whining how they want Pokémon X and Y for the Wii U, despite the clear-hard statement Gamefreak made about it, in the video. There is a difference between hopeful wishing about something that is possible right now and being stubbornly annoying about something that's already been stated as a fact, for this matter, it is a fact (for the moment/time being) that the main Pokémon games won't be released other than on the 3DS and 2DS handhelds. If they ever reconsider than it surely and clearly won't be for the Wii U, but rather for their next generation console(s).

I'm not a fanboy of Nintendo, but i'm glad the way how Masuda think. He doesn't really care about the money, rather about the franchise itself. (Sure, everyone cares about money, but you know what i'm getting at) Wether that's a strength or a flaw is debateable.

Alright, calm down. Whether it's Nintendo or GameFreak it's just a word in the sentence. Don't argue based on semantics, it's just pointless.

Putting it on a console makes it a different game.
But why does Pokemon need to be on a portable console? That concept made sense back in the gameboy days, but now everything is done through the internet anyway. Most people are playing Pokemon at home, and it's clear that the 3DS can not handle what GF wants to do with Pokemon anymore (evidenced by the 3DS's inability to process the game in 3D).

I personally bought a 3DSXL JUST for pokemon Y. I wouldn't mind doing the same if a decent title came out on the wii u, but as of right now my wii and xbox360 entertain me MUCH more than buying a wii u would.
I would be interested in another rpg-like game (like Gale of Darkness), but I probably wont buy a wii u just for that unless you can somehow connect it to the 3DS pokemon-wise like Gale and GBAs.
