A Pokemon MMO would be awesome, but I dunno if it could really work. If it lived up to its full potential it could be amazing, but I never saw Nintendo as the type of company to do an MMORPG. And what console would it be on? 3DS? I suppose it could be a revolution, handheld MMORPGs (not sure if they're a thing), but a huge risk at the same time.
It would definitely be nice to see Nintendo doing something fresh again, though. Feels like it's been ages since they've really progressed the gaming medium. Last big advancement, I'd say, was Mario Galaxy.
This video gives a pretty good perspective on the topic, but I think at least a few of the points made are pretty disputable. The more I think about it, the more it seems like a pretty logical next step in the franchise's life. I just wouldn't want it to become the complete centerpiece of the series, like with World of Warcraft. But I guess I mostly have Activision to blame for what happened with WoW.
