Nintendo have trademarked a new term in Japan, made public this week, for a concept known as the Pokémon Game Factory.
Spotted by NeoGAF, it isn't certain whether it includes regular games, but it seems to be related to a line of toys - an odd shaped pinball machine using Pokéballs to maneuver across the table. Whilst the primary trademark was filed under "toys" it'll be interesting to see if Nintendo takes it beyond mechandise and brings the concept to the small screen.
It also appears that the critters have launcher toys, shown by the following Pikachu - just where does the launch tip go?
What do you think of the Pokémon Game Factory?
