That is basically the main shin megami tensei series

I think I told him that.

I rejected it because it would be pretty dumb making it have a link with the series. It's like, making a Mario game where every enemy is a zombie version of itself and it's all gruesome and gritty. Just make another series and call it a day (or in the Pokemon case, go play Shin Megami Tensei)

A proper remake of Bad Fur Day, or at least Nintendo re-buying Rare (and an in-house crossover). Hey, a guy can dream right?

I'd be happy seeing them release the old multiplayer on XBLA...

I have to disagree with you, as it's not really like the mario example at all. It'd be like, "What if Team Rocket had succeeded?" I mean they were already chopping off Slowpoke tails which is pretty gruesome as it was a delicacy, and they are mobsters, so seeing to the death pokemon battles doesn't really strike me as that odd. Colosseum in a way was close to this, it had a gritty underbelly, and I'd actually be extremely interested in a pokemon game as such.

People and Pokémon only die by diseases. The Slowpoke tail thing is kinda violent, but there isn't anything graphic, ever. The Slowpokes are seen really energectic after that too.

Everytime I think "Why we never had a Team Rocket or whatever game", I remember it's a kid's game and that having the bad guy winning is kinda terrible.

I don't think it's a bad idea, I just think it would be dumb to still call it Pokemon

Also, Team Rocket is a bunch of mobsters who fights with bats and rats to intimidate people.

I just used them as the example as they were the first I thought of, but Pokemon could easily be gritty, but it's chosen to stay a children's game, which is fine.

Gritty Pokemon?

Is Mewtwo getting his own game?

inb4 reading the thread, but:

Pokemon stadium 3.
5 Generations, Pokedex 3D Graphics, a way to pick your own moves in free battle (unlocking certain moves through "story" mode so you don't just have the default four moves for the Pokemon to choose from), and a way to connect with and battle friends.
Come on Nintendo. We need this.

Can someone actually point out a good reboot to a franchise that was actually good, I mean, besides Strider 2

Pokemon Conquest renders your point completely moot

and almost any of the recent contras.

I loved Contra 4 but Hard Corps wasn't well... good in my own opinion. As it didn't carry the Contra name I'd say it was more of a spin-off.
Contra ReBirth (despite the name) seemed for of a one-off as well. More of a celebration of the series than a reboot (much like the other ReBirth games).

As Contra 4 is a sequel (even if it never came to the UK) so technically it's not a reboot.

+ Strider 2 was awesome... why isn't it on the PSN yet?

strider 2 probably isn't on the PSN for the same reason strider wasn't in the initial release of marvel vs. capcom. capcom doesn't hold the rights to strider as a character
