Not sure, but then again they seem to be pretty much assuring it WILL be a full RPG with the colloseum as a stand-by mode. The whole idea of the game being in a fairly deserted area involving finding other humans living around who dragged pokémon with them is interesting to say the least.
Also, the more serious nature the story seems to take (pretty much required due to the changes in gameplay, which is how Miyamoto likes it as you recall) are interesting. I always thought Pokémon was somewhere between serious and cute. Having just recently re-seen that first Pokémon movie reconfirmed it (especially if you know the changes in the translation, like Mewtwo considering Mew "god", and the COMPLETELY different conversation at the very end during the fight with Mew and Mewtwo (I thought it seemed very odd that a movie that starts out about the meaning of life would suddenly shift to "fighting is wrong").
It's been a while, but I'm interested in Pokémon again, I mean REALLY interested. I love that they are FINALLY doing something new.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
