Pokémon Company president Tsunekazu Ishihara has told The Wall Street Journal that Pokémon titles will be forthcoming on the new Nintendo NX, a system which he describes as blurring the lines between home console and handheld.

Tsunekazu Ishihara's actual quote:

The NX is trying to change the concept of what it means to be a home console device or a hand-held device. We will make games for the NX.

Now, I don't think there was any doubt that the Pokemon franchise would exist on the NX. The question is, will it become the main console for the franchise? A place my dear /3DS occupies now.

I hope not. My real hope for the NX, especially with regards to Pokemon, is that the system is 3DS game cartridge compatible, and that the "mobile" piece of the system basically has the capability to act as a 3DS.

Frankly, I don't see homes buying 3-4 NX consoles to replace their 3DS. What do you think?
