Could a traditional Pokemon game for a home console "work"?
Yes.

Sure, but it would have to have more elements to it over a "traditional" portable one. The portable ones are designed to be able to be played for a couple minutes at a time. i.e. saving at any time, gameplay being the same the entire game with barely any depth (no offense).
Yes.
And it would sell consoles by the truckload.
But Nintendo would never do that, because whoops! There goes the handheld market!

How about having Pokemon that are exclusive to the home console version and can't be captured anywhere else?
Colosseum was pretty good and it was almost traditional

That's not a gameplay change.
It would have to be designed in a way such that it wasn't just a port of the portable version.
The resolution would have to be upped, the towns would need to be larger, as you would be able to see more at a time on a console version. Think of how awkward it would be to have the handheld scaling / width of view on a television? Your character would take up like 10% of the screen.
The story would have to be longer. Nobody would pay $50 for a game that takes maybe 16 hours to complete and has handheld gameplay.
It would have minimal compatability with any portable companions due to these changes.
Adults don't play pokemon outside their homes anyway.

Actually the blame goes to Game Freak, not Nintendo. The owner of Pokemon is really OCD, and protective of the property. Like he said there would be no console version because it would be pointless, because the 3DS versions have 3D graphics now.

Do you suck "dick"?
They should do a game like Xenoblade Chronicles but with Pokemon.

Handheld > console
WE WILL NEVER GET ANOTHER TCG VIDEO GAME
WE WILL NEVER GET A MAINLINE POKEMON GAME ON A SYSTEM WITH DECENT HARDWARE
WE WILL NEVER GET A POKEMON GAME THAT HASN'T BEEN FOCUS TESTED BY BRAINDEAD CHILDREN

It doesn't need to work. Anything with the pokemon name on it is going to sell a shitload of copies
