That is true, & I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo had to push Game Freak to make the switch sooner.Gamefreak really really really likes to cling on to old platforms.

Don't expect the same kind of gameplay. Cyber Sleuth had more of a JRPG balance, whereas Sun/Moon (while much better than previous instalments) is still very Pokemon in its gameplay.
I forgot I couldn't play my 3DS at home. Sucks.
In all seriousness, confirmation of Stars means I'll skip Sun and Moon. Hadn't picked it up yet. Nintendo would be smart to hold that reveal and not cannibalize sales on 3DS.
But from Game Boy to N3DS the new platform could always play the old platform's games so there was never a reason not to. Switch'll likely be the first time in Pokemon history where there's a sheer cutoff between consoles.
Most likely we're gonna get one of the dumb spinoffs like Mystery Dungeon. Mainline ain't coming for another 2 years minimum, no matter what Eurogamer says.
But wouldn't that cut Sun/Moon's long-term sales short?Gamefreak needs to support Switch sooner
I would love to see a Pokemon game on Thursday not a later solo direct, I think this platform will need all the help it can get
But wouldn't that cut Sun/Moon's long-term sales short?
I still just don't see how Sun and Moon could transition easily to an HD platform. There are tons of low res props that build the environments that would just require a massive amount of work.
Actually the game can look amazing (maybe the left image is not really how should be, but it still apply)
From this old thread
For real, the 3DS is holding back the potential of this new generation.
I've seen what people are doing with Sun and Moon in emulators, and it's fine but you get loads of bad stuff with the environments out in the world, which are pieced together with very low res 2D props that are all over the place. Lighting and shadows are also pretty much nonexistent. The entire game was very deliberately designed with the 3DS hardware in mind and it would take a tremendous amount of effort to bring it to an HD format without a bunch of things looking really weird.Actually the game can look amazing (maybe the left image is not really how should be, but it still apply)

That's old.
I see stars

Pokemon potentially coming to Switch so soon makes me wonder if I should stop the Sun version postgame grinding now if all my BP-purchased items are about to become useless >__>
It's 50/50, really. This does lend credence towards Stars being Switch-exclusive, but it doesn't necessarily guarantee that Stars will be revealed this Thursday.So does this mean it's likely to be at the Thursday event?
If the stars rumours are true, im sure there will be connectivity between the 3ds version and switch version.
So I couldn't play Pokémon at home before?
Answer me this gaf, cross play between 3ds and Nintendo switch?
I don't expect an announcement until summer at least, but we'll see. You can never really predict what's going to happen. The same people were swearing up and down Nintendo wouldn't release a third version on a new console and look what seems to be happening. If they want to show it off this week they very well can no matter the "logic" people want to use
Xenoblade looks even worse.Actually the game can look amazing (maybe the left image is not really how should be, but it still apply)
