1-Granted a console game would be nice. However when you consider how much the games are currently selling on the DS why fix what isn't broken? The worst part in going from Gen 1/2 to Gen 3 was the fact that the teams I had been building and the Pokémon I had been training for nearly 5 years were now useless. You couldn't trade anything to the new GBA gamesfrom the originals. That honestly turned me off from the games for a long time. At least when the DS came along they allowed you to use the GBA slot to transfer to the newer games. That's why I'll never buy the DSi or DSXL if my current DS Lite breaks. Going to a console would be cool. However Nintendo would have to consider ways to transfer Pokémon from the DS games to a new game on the Wii. It's not impossible but I doubt it's something they want to sink the money into at this time. Plus the DS in all forms has been out far longer than the Wii. I'd have to imagine more people have a DS than a Wii. Finally while the Wii is an ok system let me look at the games it has that I'm actually interested in:
-SSB Brawl
.............yeah......
While the Wii is good in it's own ways I lost faith in Nintendo's ability to release a good console this gen. There's way too much shoveware on the system and not enough good games. Therefore unless Nintendo comes out with something stronger next gen I think I'm done with them as far as consoles go. One or two games is not enough to get me to buy a console when the rest is shit.
2-Your guess is as good as mine. Excluding the bonus games that always seem to eventually come out Gen 1 was primary colors, Gen 2 was metallics, Gen 3 was gems and the current one was precious stones. What's that leave?
