I do think that a Pokemon system would have been far more popular with people. The allure to the RTS system of Verminion is that it allows one player to use many different types of minions at once, but that novelty is lost when you consider how soon the difficulty ramps up.

I agree, but partially. The Gold Saucer does have lots of stuff inside to gather players. Weekly Triple Triad tournaments, weekly and daily cactpots, FATEs, the myriad of video games, and the challenge logs devoted to all of them.

And then we have Lord of Veminion and Chocobo Racing, which are instanced activities, and really have no discernible reason to need the Gold Saucer as a base hub. I think the Gold Saucer stands well on its own, and that limiting these two activities to the zone only acts as a hindrance to everyone involved.
