People are absolutely going to set their expectations way too high lol

Handheld all the way for Pokemon.

Smells faintly of rancid stilton.
Pokemon to Xbox one, Nintendo back to doomed.
I think he's referring to those expecting Pokémon Switch to take notes from BotW, but that's just a guess on my part.

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
As long as you don't bring amiibos into the mix and hopefully stop charging for Poke Bank because we are going to be charged for Nintendo Switch Online (lol I doubt it) than he can do whatever he wants.

Just make a mainline Pokemon game that runs at a stable framerate. That's all I want.
"Please don't be excited"
Lol.
All I'm looking for is something along the lines of what you've been making, scaled graphically to look good on a 1080p display. Everything else is pretty much gravy.

The 3DS games likely ran like crap because of the high-poly Pokémon models.
He said to not set your expectations too high up.

I'm totally expecting something that is essentially sun and moon with higher resolution.
"Don't get too excited for the first big HD mainline pokemon"
Impossible. I'm expecting the world. Sun & Moon is one of the best pokemon games, and yet pokemon switch needs to be even bigger and better. My brain is not even entertaining the idea of this having a chance to be a failed project, and if it did, it would be a bigger disappointment than five MGS V's.

Meanwhile I'm over here salivating at the thought of being able to play the same exact games on a TV and take them with me when I'm not home. I really hope that's what we end up with tbh.

It'll be interesting to see how they handle it.
Going from <PS2 level to >Wii U level from one system to another should lead to some impressive results...but it is gamefreak so we'll see.
If the combat will remain the same which it most likely will, I hope they spend a lot of time making the overworld and its presentation feel more modern.

=> "Don't expect radical changes to the formula"
=> "Don't expect top tier graphics. It's game freak at the end of the day"

The fuck? Gamefreak, you make tons of money. Hire some people if this is hard for you!

It's Game Freak. Who has high expectations for them?
Same here, but with enough changes to justify a new generation (beyond just new Pokémon).

Yeah and as an OG 3DS user Sun/Moon was hilariously bad.

It is a mainline game, that was made abundantly clear at E3. As far as I know, Game Freak doesn't make any of the Pokémon spin-offs.
It's already confirmed to be a mainline, aka core game.
It's going to be spectacular that's for sure.
That'll honestly be enough for me. Mainline Pokémon on my TV has been a long time coming.
Sun, Moon models higher res. World design still hallway like with grass you can walk on and grass that are invisible walls.

Yeah.
Nintendo needed Monolith to help make BotW.
I don't think GameFreak itself is capable of doing any radical change.
I'd like to see them do something like Dragon Quest XI, make two versions with one being focused on the people who want a scaled back handheld version, and one for those who want a real console experience style of game. This could also work as the Red/Blue, X/Y, or Sun/Moon split for the game.
All we are going to get is a game that is marginally better then the 3DS games if it's not just a 3DS game to begin with.

It will be. But after BotW people started theorizing the new Pokemon would be something on that scale, instead of just a prettier Sun/Moon with better performance and a new region/story/Pokemon
Like this?
I made myself feel sad
Even you was dissapointed by that? That kinda shocks me tbh

I don't expect much. Basically HD Sun and Moon.
But I honestly don't see the reason why a series that makes as much money as Pokémon does couldn't evolve in a really dynamic and interesting way. What is it about Pokémon that makes it resistant to widespread change?

What are you expecting? Seriously, they announced this with no title or art work and have said it'll be a year or more before it's done. If this was August 2018 I would understand where you're coming from.
The more chat I see online the more I see people's expectations become more and more like Pokémon Breath of the Wild instead of a higher res and smoother gameplay/frame rate versions of what we've been getting. I just hope the regions are bigger and more detailed.
Ironic how we're excited for Pokemon being on the TV, when a big appeal of the Switch is taking "console level" games on the go lol
That they're already making crazy cash merely through making small changes, so why bother going all out I'm guessing? Not to mention it would take longer to make.
