So we still cling to this tremendously unlikely and outright impractical notion despite every possible indicator to the contrary
Les'ee:
Pokemon COLISEUM. Contrary?
Pokemon DX. Contrary?
Pokemons Stadium, Stadium 2, Revolution- Contrary?

A comment from Reggie Fils-Aime, from Nintendo of America- However, this was only referring to the next game in the series, not as a definitive statement.
Wishful thinking.
You can debate this if you like. I feel like I've done this all before already.
And you're still talking.
...
Why?
Big words don't make a good argument- a lack of any actual reasoning makes for a poorer argument at the same time. A refuting statement should have more water to it- Let's go back and run this by the forum again:
So we still cling to this
"Hold on" would be better than "Cling". "Cling" signals determination or stubbornness used in the context above- Having a single person get a logic-smack every other post and still retain the close-mindedness to the same idea posted by multiple users wishing to express of fondness of a concept would fall under 'Cling'-ing to one's belief that 8,000 posts means one has done something worthwhile and therefore must absolutely know what he's talking about.
To "Cling" to an idea would be to hold on to it with utmost contempt for all others surrounding it. Merely presenting it, however, is what we're doing, seeing as how for a forum that's titled "Pokemon Game Ideas" we should be
coming up with pokemon game ideas instead of spending the last few weeks and pages of posts overturning ideas.
Also, the author stated that:
This is the thread where all you bright revolutionaries can post about what kind of pokemon game they should make next! Go on now, don't be shy.
Meaning we shouldn't be shy of posing an absolutely ridiculous idea since this is the place to do so without fear of ridicule. For the most part.
tremendously unlikely and outright impractical notion
Tremendously would indicate that the odds are highly stacked against this. Previous games have had the graphics- Game Freak has had the drive for creating games that surprisingly didn't follow the usual standard that us gamers always thought they would.
Unlikely would indicate a small possibility. Considering my previous 3 pages worth of trend and research-supported theories as to why it could happen, I needn't iterate any further.
Outright impractical would suggest a useless game. And in today's market, if games like "Imagine! Babysitter" and most other bargain DS games you can find while trolling through a Game Stop actually sell,
anything with "Pokemon" in the title is a sure bet on making money.
A notion is a general idea, belief, opinion (which according to Serebii is still fair play, last I checked), or inclination. If a user feels inclined to post an idea on a forum meant for posting ideas, (logic be damned or not) they should probably do so.
every possible indicator to the contrary
Not to be a smart ***, but 'every possible indicator' is too much of an extreme to be a sound argument at all.
