If friggen Megaman can get a soccer game, I can't see why Pokemon can't
Bonus points if it allows Pokemon to knock each other out with crazy moves, Mario Strikers style

No one would ever see me again if this was to happen. I love the soccer idea too.
However what I really want is an Elite Beat Agents game with pokemon music. Idk why but I want to see them dance so bad.
Sounds really nice.
With Nintendo patenting gba emulation I think something a mobile Pokemon rpg combined with geocaching would be fun. Like that google april fools, but better.
I would always start thinking about pokemon while camping and imagine what new Pokemon I would find there as opposed to at home or in the city.

Nintendo wasn't patenting GBA emulation. They just updated a patent filed in 2003 and granted in 2012 in order to have a legal way to stop people from doing it.
You hit it at the end OP, I've wanted a Monster Rancher (2 on the PSONE is my favorite) style Pokemon game for almost a decade. They sort of kind of erred torwards it in X and Y with the Amii stuff, feeding them a treat and doing some side mini games but I want a full fledged farm or ranch where I raise individual pokemon then take them out on an adventure. I could see it working where there's the rancher game then you transfer pokemon from it to a mainline game where you then use them as normal. Would make taking care of your team so much more personal and rewarding.

On a related note, I don't mind an RPG starring the Kalos starters.

They didn't patent GBA emulation and can't use this as a way to stop people doing it. It's a patent used to protect innovation. Here Nintendo is claiming techniques to "optimisation" of emulation that are innovative and deserve patent protection.
It wouldn't work as a lot of things. That didn't stop it from branching out to near every genre imaginable.
So of course the formula lends itself to an mmo.
Not this again.
If by what you're saying you actually mean "Pokemon as the exact same game as the handhelds changed into an MMO would not work."
If they can make Pokemon a typing game, they can make it into an MMORPG.

Music based gaming using the Pokemon OSTs would be pretty nice. The Final Fantasy Theatrhythm games format would make a good fit for pokemon.

Another Pokemon Snap would be great.
Or a visual novel a la Hatoful Boyfriend.

Heh, MMO
What happened to that game?
I would love Pokemon to just rip off Mega Man Soccer, beat a team of Lucario and you could recruit one to your side, etc.

3D Action/Adventure game for WiiU. Pokepark did this in a very limited way from the videos I've seen.
2D Platformer for 3DS with playable Pikachu, Squirtle, Charmander and Bulbasaur. I haven't played their Genesis game, but Gamefreak showed they can do sidescrollers justice with Drill Dozer.

You know, I always wonder if fans of a specific mon get annoyed/frustrated when they get ignored in representation of a spin-off. I guess NFE mon fans get annoyed too but have a reprieve that their line is represented, at least.

You date the pokemon or the trainer?
Does it have pokemon ami?
and does it have a second disk where everyone is your sister?
Edit: I would find a pokemon themed sport game really interesting.
If you leave it up to Nintendo and Game Freak, they can go for 20 more years making and remaking the same games in the same vein.
And it's a shame because the brand is unbelievably strong and if they ever decided to transfer it to a Nintendo home console as a fully-fledged 3D game with a few MMO aspects (if not a complete MMO experience), they would drown in money.
Even a gritty reboot would be nice.
So...OP lists like 10 genres it's been in and you...say that?
Whether a few of the games were mediocre or not, you can't say they didn't branch out. It's probably the most branched out franchise ever besides Mario. FF is decently branched out as well.
There was Pokemon Dash on the DS. It was an eariler release.Pokemon Racing could be cool ala Diddy Kong Racing
