YES Pokemon!

Couple days ago I posted an article about where the Pokemon franchise could go. Apparently they have at least pondered the idea of taking the core games a step further in the action mechanics

Pokémon Diamond and Pearl game director Junichi Masuda is very keen on trying out new elements. "This is just an idea but...as you know, Pokémon is a role-playing game," Masuda tells game magazine Game Informer. "But, personally, I really like the action type of games, so we just talk about that sometimes. We probably want to add some kind action element to the game."

I will welcome any creative changes to the series, especially if theres going to be more action involved.
