A Pokemon MMORPG

Straight from the Horse's mouth: It ain't gonna happen.

Though he doesn't address Pokemon directly, Iwata says

...The virtual-world services out there now still aren't at a place where we'd like to join in--and certainly not to the point that we'd want to jump into competition with everybody else. We'd rather focus on doing things that nobody else would do.

It's nice to dream though.

What I don't understand is why other companies haven't caught onto this, though. I mean, Pokémon has a monopoly right now. Digimon dented it slightly back in the day with it's TV series, but not to a major extent. Nevertheless, it showed that people will look to other brands. So why hasn't Jade Cocoon or Digimon thought about this?

[Rocket Edge]

I have always thought this. I think the idea of a game like this would be fantastic. As BoB stated, how companies haven't caught onto this is beyond me, it not as if the game would sell millions upon millions, because it would.

I've always thought a Pokemon game, in a Final Fantasy style of battle system & gameplay, would be truely brilliant.
