@GrailUK Yes, the handhelds had the biggest installbase, I agree and it's a fair reason to bring up in this discussion. But isn't that true for every franchise? Why develop those big expensive 3D Zeldas for home consoles when you can make them a lot cheaper for the handheld market and sellI more of them? I just think it's odd Nintendo was never able to convince the Pokémon Company to develop main games for SNES, N64, GC, Wii and WiiU. Some of those consoles were really struggling and I believe they would have received an enormous sales boost if they DID have Pokemon games on them.
I've never been a fan of the mainline Pokémon games because I HATE random battles. These Let's Go games might actually win me over just because of the absence of that mechanic. Finally!

I've heard that reasoning before; Pokemon not being suited for home consoles. I'm not buying that. Sorry.

@Fandabidozi
So? Zelda and Mario have always been on both, so why not Pokemon?

Numbers like these make me wonder why we didn't get a core Pokémon game on consoles sooner. What took them so long?!

Really looking forward to this one.
