Imagine the cool Spotpass and Streetpass features that developer Game Freak could come up with. I understand that the 3DS has the ability to play DS games, but a new offering, specifically designed to take advantage of the 3DS' unique features, should be coming out at this point.

I imagine the Pokémon Black and White 2 announcement annoyed quite a few gamers who purchased the console solely for a new 3D Pokémon title. Nintendo already pissed off early 3DS adopters last year with a much-needed price drop (although the ambassador program did a pretty good job of rectifying the situation). But as a fan, I’d much rather see a new Pokémon title on the 3DS. So that’s the financial argument from Nintendo’s perspective. It’s outpacing the DS’ sales during that time period, but that’s still a small number when you compare it to the DS’ humongous base.

The 3DS sold 15 million units since its release almost a year and a half ago. It makes sense to release titles as huge as the next Pokémon entries on the platform with the most potential buyers.
