Yeah, no kidding. I HATE how cluttered pokemon games' UI were before the SAVIOUR DUAL SCREENS were implemented:
Seriously what the hell are you talking about

I don't think I've ever seen a "The new hardware is out, the old hardware is immediately garbage" this bad before.

The 3DS was a great piece of hardware but it's hard going back to those tiny, low-res screens after the Switch's beautiful, vibrant HD screen.
Yup. Between X and Y, and Alola forms, it's time to move on I think.
This is a great point also.
By looks like do you mean the graphics or like what platform it will be on?
The Eurogamer rumor from last year said it was for Switch. I would be surprised if it wasn't also for 3DS given the install base there, but if they want to focus on building Switch appeal perhaps it could be Switch exclusive. I would be surprised if it wasn't on Switch at all given how on the ball EG has been.
As for the aesthetic, I imagine it will look like an improved 3DS game in HD. The Pokémon models are pretty high poly IIRC.

I have not played a mainline Pokémon game in quite some time due to portable game systems being of lesser interest to me. But Pokémon Stars for Nintendo Switch I find very intriguing, so I hope that is what Nintendo will announce in this upcoming Pokémon Direct broadcast.

holy shit seriously
Funny you mention Sun/Moon, that was apparently the beginning of Game Freak moving away from using dual screens. Pokémon's gonna make the switch eventually, be it now or Gen 8. The 3DS can't be supported forever.
To be fair I love the Alolan forms but were incredibly disappointing that they were gen 1 only and voiced my disappointment with it a lot leading up to release.

The 3DS is a decent hardware only because it's based off the DS, but everything else it tries to do sucks. Good riddance

regional forms are a cool idea that is ruined by they fact it's only gen 1 pokemon
Did you forget the 3 minute Pokémon direct that was just an announcement of Pokémon Sun and Moon with no footage of gameplay?

I just don't want it to be a cleaned up port of a 3DS game.
In-game image was posted yesterday and the concept art was posted today. Some details
i'm a translator working on the upcoming pokémon game which you know as codename "pokémon stars".
I'll be leaving here few infos because u'll soon get an official announcement.
the new game will be available both for 3DS and Nintendo Switch. Only one title, not a couple of games.
the two versions can, of course, communicate.
Game will be again set in Alola, no visiting Kanto. Most of the characters will be grown up, such as Gladion that now fully runs Aether Paradise on his own.
Gyms are now built up. No more Alolan trials.
there will be no new pokémon or megas. Necrozma is getting a new form though. there will be new exclusive Z-moves. Won't say
anything more on them.
while the game is a sequel, plot is heavily focused on past events, such as black & white 2: you'll know more about how Mohn lost his memories, and how Necrozma fell into our world. (hint: "stars"!)
the game is heavily filled with cutscenes, even more than Sun & Moon.
what you see here is a grown up Gladion in his new suit. Feel free not to believe, i don't want any troubles on leaking things. Do not ask anything, I won't be saying more than what's already in the post.
boy is called kaosu, girl is called hoshi
I can't say for sure about that art but...
Really? That's weird since in my head, Sun and Moon's battle UI was pretty dependent on having two screen and showing as much info as possible

They're almost certainly referring to battles. Ie, this setup:
Vs the dual screen setup where you could go through all your options without covering up the entire screen up above. Though to be honest, that seems like it would be somewhat less of an issue on an HD console, even in the Switch's handheld form. Smaller text and icons would still be legible and so wouldn't have to cover up anything beyond the usual text space at the bottom of the screen anyway.
Cluttered UI? What? Sun/Moons UI has the least features on the second screen since that screen exists. The hell are you talking about?
Also what did the Switch do to you to deserve such hatred lol.

welp, way to go joe
The only people who have an issue with gen one "pandering" are people that will buy the games anyways. What exactly does everyone suffer by having tributes to gen 1 in the games? People just wish their favorite gens got attention instead, like "attention" is some quantitative thing from developers that should be equal and fair to all, but the fact of the matter is gen 1 has been prevalent in nearly every pokemon game and is a part of what Pokemon is as a series. The developers and fans love it and people who are bothered by tributes to a gen they dont like need to get over it and realize that just because they dont like something doesnt mean everyone else should stop liking it too. Oh no, things related to the first and most popular generation of pokemon, what a terrible thing to have to suffer in a video game

which also has essentially no clutter, does not cover up any gameplay, and is extremely functional.They're almost certainly referring to battles. Ie, this setup:

So somebody gave you a switch free you gon decline it? Or you cant buy one?
I can't say for sure about that art but...
The real question here is how did you manage to look at the picture and remember, oh that background, let me look up this very specific random character with the background. That's pretty impressive.
I hope the game is all cutscenes.
Sun/Moon didn't really use the 2nd screen much outside of the map, caring for your Pokémon, & battle commands (especially compared to X/Y & OR/AS).
