Watch it be for 3DS

 

[BackwardCap]

If nothing else they might announce the 3DS version and say the Switch version will come at a later date.

 

[Cerium]

If Stars was gonna be on Switch Nintendo wouldn't have targeted just 10m switches for this fiscal year.

Everyone agrees that's a deliberately conservative estimate. They'll look good when they shatter it.

 

[lvl99 Pixel]

That doesn't look like an Eclipse to me.

That was done as a conservative estimate.

The third version of Gen 1 wasn't Pokemon Purple bro.

"Sun, Moon, and Stars" is a very well known trinity.

 

[gigantor21]

There's no way this is going to be Switch exclusive.

I fully expect New 3ds / Switch situation like FE warriors.

Yeah, that seems reasonable. There really isn't any reason for them to not have a 3DS version--especially after putting out New 2DS this year.

Almost there. I can smell the announcement.

If they were going that route it'd be Red Sun and Blue Moon.

And you'd start in Kanto.

As Lillie though.

Nah, Lillie would be your rival.

[jjonez18]

It better be. And for Switch too. The moment its announced, I'm headed to the store and buying me a Switch.

 

[Yoshimitsu126]

If Switch version looks as good as the opening intro of Sun/Moon I'm in day zero.

 

[Dark Cloud]

I was about to type something similar to this.

Game Freak should be capitalizing on Pokémon Go and do a full 3D remake of Pokémon Red/Blue or make a sequel to them being R2/B2.

Also spoilers for Pokémon S/M

They could have you go to Kanto at the end of this game to sequel into the next game.

If you can find one.

Finally,

Detective Pikachu Stars

 

[Busaiku]

Darn it, Lillie's bag is smaller than a Switch.

 

[ffdgh]

Not even being coy about it.

Cool constellations though I'm surprised Plusle and Minun weren't used in place of those 2 Pikachus.

 

[ViciousDS]

Huge blown opportunity if that's the case. For GameFreak to familiarize themselves with the Switch, and Nintendo for not letting Pokemon in on Switch to continue the sales momentum.

YUP


3DS is beridden and no longer cared for. I already have a mobile device thats fucking badass and its called a switch

 

[KingBroly]

My face, wondering if Nintendo has the stones, to make it Switch exclusive.

It would definitely help.


But I expect 3DS and Switch

if you want to be obtuse then the sun is already a star

I want a Pokemon Purple now.

Yay imma buy the same game 2 years in a row.

Then again...battle frontier in ORAS is still under construction

[jobrro]

Considering all the touch/two screen friendly features cut from X/Y in Sun/Moon it would be insane if this doesn't show up on Switch. If they just removed those features for the heck of it that'd be very disappointing.

Missed PSS, that was so great especially in the launch week of X/Y. Felt like a semi-MMO Pokemon.

 

[Cerium]

I'm not obtuse, you're simply ignorant.

GameFreak doesn't give a fuck about the scientific classification of Sol.

 

[Menitta]

I hope we also get Pokken Switch soon. That game's online deserves a shot in the arm.

 

[shotgunbob04]

E3 can't come soon enough.

Graphics too. Would be a big jump without the gamepad

[sinonobu]

If Pokemon Stars is real it's going to be May reveal.

 

[Dark Cloud]

E3 can't come soon enough.

This might get announced before E3 if we go by Game Freak/Pokemon Company. They announce new Pokemon games on their own.

 

[Hattori]

Pokemon Direct in May perhaps?

 

[Smeags]

Seriously though, Nebby needs to get in the bag.

 

[RockmanBN]

If they were going that route it'd be Red Sun and Blue Moon.

Dont remember that working too well last time.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

if it's 3ds only...

not sure why you're getting antagonistic. Comparing colour combinations to celestial events is disingenuous.

 

[Liliana Eileen]

Nintendo, we know what you're doing!

 

[Cerium]

Expect a gloating private message from me when it's not called Eclipse.

 

[DMONKUMA]

Nah but if it's seriously announced for the Switch and comes out this year....

 

[Menitta]

That too. It's resolution is quite low and I do think being on the Switch would make local multiplayer much better if both players have the game.

 

[sinonobu]

I wonder how Stars is going to be announced? (IF it's real)

Are they stealth dropping it like Pokemon OR/AS?

Pokemon Direct on May?

Or are they going to save it up for E3 as this is first ever mainline Pokemon game on console.

 

[Neoxon]

Watch the 3rd version be Pokemon Earth or Eclipse.

To be fair, it was said that Stars was the current codename. While it's likely that Stars could be the final name, there's always the possibility that The Pokémon Company went with another title for the game (if it's real). That said, between this & Necrozma, it's likely that if we get a 3rd Gen 7 game, it could very well be titled Stars.

As for the game's existence, Eurogamer seemed pretty damn confident that it was coming as a Switch-exclusive. If they're right on both fronts, we'll likely know about it before E3 (probably by the end of May).

E3 can't come soon enough.

Unless Nintendo really wanted to have Stars in their back-pocket for E3, TPC would likely reveal the game on their own terms ahead of E3 to rule the headlines.

 

[Dark Cloud]

This week give us E3 plans.
Next week give us Pokemon Stars announcement.

 

[RoyaleDuke]

So this basically confirms the rumor that Pokemon Switch is happening right.

Please be true.
