Hope it's 2019. If it comes out in 2018, I don't expect it to be the huge step/evolution some people including me were hoping for.
It kinda doesn't, though? We've run out of new Pokemon reveals, we're going to run out of new Pokemon cards as of the next set... every time we've been in a similar situation in the past, we'd have had no hesitation in saying that a new generation is on the way (give or take a bit of denial about Sun and Moon from certain parties[/i[). The only real argument against is that we've never had a two-year generation before, but Game Freak have spent much of the past decade busting their own format and schedule- given the evidence we have before us, I have no real problem saying that I think they're doing it again.It even fits the patterns for everything but anime. Anime is a bit of a wildcard here due to the changes of it.
It could come out in 2029 and I don't think it'd be the huge revolution that some are hoping for.Hope it's 2019. If it comes out in 2018, I don't expect it to be the huge step/evolution some people including me were hoping for.

Between where the franchise currently is, TPCi's willingness to start talking about Pokemon Switch already and the sheer business case for getting on the Switch relatively early, I'd be pretty damned surprised if we didn't see the new generation next year.

Switch will need something big in 2018 if this is later

Smash?
Smash, Animal Crossing, 2D Mario. Nintendo ain't got nothing to worry about lol.
...Fire Emblem, Pikmin 4/Prime 4(maybe), 3rdPartys embracing the system....
Yeah i dont think we have to worry about next year.
Thinking Pokémon Mystery Dungeon too. We know it's in the works/under consideration
Man, being a Switch user I really need this game but that also makes me wonder why they didn't release a proper Pokémon game in any non-portabe Nintendo console. Couldn't have been done for the N64?

Would make alot of sense - Pokken DX will probably do quite well this year...another Spin-Off to make the transition smoother for the fanbase before the big main release in 2019.
I really hope they implement some type of coop gameplay.

Everybody notice a new Fire Emblem for Nintendo Switch dated for 2018??
What platform would a Mystery Dungeon be do you think? 3DS exclusive? 3DS / Switch multiplat?
Switch exclusive
Really wonder how it's going to look...and perform. I thought the X/Y engine was horrible. I wouldn't even mind if it's top down again. Just give me moving trees and grass, Pokemon flying around, more interactivity with the environment etc.

That we know since January.
I did - On January 18th already, in fact.
I don't think a 2018 Pokémon Mystery Dungeon precludes a 2018 mainline RPG any more than Super Mystery Dungeon's European release stopped Sun and Moon happening.
SMD aside, the series has not been a holiday tent pole in the way that mainline RPGs are- SMD got a holiday release in the doldrums of holiday 2015. If Switch's second holiday is that feeble, Nintendo are in REAL trouble.
I really hope it doesn't happen
isn't this non-news?
"new pokemon game to release in the future..."
well, yeah.
Whats your issue with coop play ? Dont be a hater xD

If it indeed 2018 title, most likely won't be a new generation of Pokémon, right? Isn't a 2 years gap too little for this?
If Pokemon is 2019, Metroid is 2020.
I'm 100% (okay 90%) sure its a new mainline title. I would honestly like a reboot of the series though. I'd be happy with all existing Pokemon, nothing new, but something interesting gameplay wise to make people want to play it instead. Possibly (don't hit me) real time combat?
*runs away*
Real time combat would RUIN mainline pokémon.
My issue is with Dungeon, not co-op play
I'm not saying I disagree, but with Nintendo and Gamefreak you can't say that for sure. The series is in dire need of refreshing and I'm sure they'll find a way of doing it, and doing it in a way that amazes people, if only they're willing to take the risk
You are not being unfair. Wanting real time combat elements is stupid in Pokémon mainline.Yeah, I'm just being unfair since I wanna the combat to still be turn based =p
But I agree they will bring new things for the combat for the new mainline title. They got much more power now.
So another 3DS mainline game after ultra for 2018.
Honestly, I find 2019 rather early for a next gen Pokémon game and I fear it might be light on content with how much more work it takes creating more HD assets. The pokémon are fine (besides getting upgraded textures no doubt) but all the rest. for a 3DS game the time between games makes sense, but a switch game could be a considerably amount more work.
That is if they really want to take advantage of the power of the switch of course. Which I feel they will as the overworld in Sun & Moon look really good on the 3DS.
