I like this but not for their main logo but I would definitely think it would fit cute as their professional logo with a bit of tweeking to add the additional wording.

I like it, but...
How are you supposed to catch them all now? Seriously, when Pokemon X and Y come out, there will be over 700 Pokemon...

As a design, I might try looking at other options than the pikachu ears/tail on a standard palatino sort of typeface.
The real problem with this logo vs the one currently in use is, of all things, legibility and usefulness as a trademark.

If you were to print this on a white T-shirt, with the black lettering as you've used, it might be legible up front. However, from across a room, the pencil thin lines of the pikachu would be very hard to see, and the pokeball inside of the "o" would also be a little hard to read, though recognizable as it's already one of the trademarks of Pokemon that we associate with it. Really, since the lines of the pikachu are so thin and hard to distinguish at a distance, I would really drop it all together.

The lettering of the actual word is very problematic for a logo, especially one of a brand like a cartoon, which is meant to be very widely recognizable and printable on everything. As I've mentioned, the overall weight of the font is very light, and that would cause problems printing on itty bitty things like stickers or reading tee shirts from across rooms. I'd recommend using a heavier font.
Though this is a great design, in theory, for a poster or a banner about an event. As a black-on-white, especially if it is printed on something HUGE, like a banner, it is very clean and simple. That's the kind of thing you'd look for in a design for an event poster, or even a pamphlet describing an event. Something that is meant to be read, and not recognized.

The current pokemon logo, though definitely silly and a bit lopsided, is still legible, and more importantly for a brand logo, easily recognizable on any print. The letters are bold, and create a specific shape together. The colors are bright and consistent from print to print. Because the letters are surrounded by a border, the logo can be printed on top of other images (say a group picture on a shirt, the logo could overlap the image and still be legible. There would need to always be a block of white behind your design for legibility, which doesn't work as seamlessly on shirts, toy packaging, and other merchandise).

I'm not saying your design is bad, at all. You've chosen a very sensible font, and the layout of the slogan is sized and placed well, and it looks, again, very clean. It would look lovely on a business card.
I'm just saying that for the purpose of a marketing logo, especially involving brightly colored cartoons and merchandise, it would not be as strong of a trademark image.

It's not like the current logo is sixteen years old and completely out of date....

I like it! It's simple but cool.

The logo is part of pokemon. I see no reason to make a new, more generic logo just to "be modern"
