Pokemon Rumble U
Nintendo wants to cash in on the Skylanders $1B profit of sales for figurines.
Pokemon Rumble U will be out for download in Japan this April and players will be able to buy figures that they can put on their Wii U pads to be recognized and used in game. HO BOY!

No one saw this coming. NO ONE
Also I've noticed an increase in Pokemon games I have no interest in getting lately. I consider this a bad thing... their spinoffs are becoming increasingly stupid. |

Pokémon Puzzle League?
Pokémon Trozei? Pokémon Dash? Pokémon Ranger? I dunno about getting dumber and dumber. There have been some pretty dumb spinoffs in the past. And we still have Mystery Dungeon (although the latest entry in the franchise seems to be the most disappointing, so that sort of fits with your theory). And I quite enjoyed what they attempted with Pokémon Conquest, a.k.a. Pokémon+Nobunaga's Ambition. It was a bit clumsy, and as SRPGs go it was very much for beginners and not for seasoned veterans, but the story premise was cute, the character designs interesting, and I'd very much like to see a second, more polished entry in the series. While I was driving home yesterday, I was actually thinking to myself about how Gen V got shafted as far as Pokémon Stadium games go:
One spinoff I'd love to see come back would be Pokémon Pinball. As a kid, I always loved pinball games -- I owned two of them on Game Boy, Kirby's Pinball Land and of course Pokémon Pinball -- and I think it could be fun to have a gorgeous Pokémon-themed pinball game on the 3DS. As far as the problem of having too many monsters goes, it's easy: instead of making a different table for each version within a generation (Red and Blue in the original, Ruby and Sapphire in the sequel), you make a different table for each generation. The Kanto pinball machine, the Johto pinball machine, etc. Make it so that you can capture the original 151 in the first one, the next 100 in the second, and so on. As far as babies and pre-evos go, don't lose sleep over it: just flip a coin, game designers, and either include a species line in any generation where it had a stage of evolution debut (so like, you can catch Pichu both on the Kanto table as well as on the Johto table) or else make it so that babies and later-game evos are solely catchable on the tables where they debuted (so like, you can catch Pikachu only on the Kanto pinball machine and Pichu only on the Johto one). Regardless, that should address the problem of "too many monsters to catch makes the game impossible @_@" quite cleanly.

I dunno. None of those games appealed to me at all.
