Sigh. It could have been so beautiful.
They could have hidden Pokemon in other games, and you could have gotten them by finding secret shit, and then linked back into your Pokemon cart to use them...
They could have made Ash (or whatever) an actual bloody character, put in a mildly interesting storyline, and have fights in other contexts than I-want-to-fight-the-goddamn-gym-leaders-for-the-twenty-sixth-time *breathe* -and-attain-nothing-but-the-vague-concept-of-being-the-"very best". I suppose he looked too much like Ness to become a mainstay of the Nintendo characters' crew. Oh wait, they're never making an Earthbound game ever again so it doesn't really matter.
They could have made a massive groundbreaking MMORPG on the 'Cube that would have established it as the premier online console, with player-controlled gyms, epic battles and genetic Poke-engineering.
Instead they just slapped together a bajillion more halfassed Pokemon and remade the same two games over and over again, and the kids just eat it up - which, btw, makes one of my friends desperate for the future generations.
Ahh well.

You wanna ride, baby?
This is a special car.
Two accelerators... no brakes! Yeeeah!
