Yup, Mochizuki was definitely hinting at an imminent Stars announcement.

They are already HQ assets. Just texture needs some work. That's all.
If that were to actually happen, then maybe people would understand the originals aren't good games.
I kind of hope that does happen.

Pokemon assets have been extremely high quality since X and Y. That's kinda why the games run like shit on the 3DS.
Why do people keep saying this lol, has pokemon go ever even been in a Nintendo Direct lol
And visit the golf course and the parts of Lusamine's house that weren't accessable and some other locations.
What exactly is exciting about that? And if it's a third version it's going to be a 3DS game at heart anyway.

So we're just ignoring the Super Game Boy, Pokemon Stadium, and Game Boy Player?
The Pokemon models themselves are actually very high quality

Repeat: Why would Eurogamer be right about literally everything, but wrong about this one thing?
This thing they knew about specifically enough to give it an actual name?

If Stars is Switch, yay. If it isn't, I'll still probably get it, though I won't really play it all that much.

Why would they tell GO updates in a direct when in the past they haven't at all?
Can we just be realistic and say that a new mainline game is coming out

Okay, so this close to E3 I have to imagine it's only 1 of these 2 things: Stars or DP remake.
I have a strong suspicion this is going to be DP remakes for the 3DS as Game Freaks swan song on the console, but I'd much rather have a Sun/Moon "upgrade" on Switch for the sole reason that after playing Switch it has been incredibly hard for me to go back to 3DS. Switch just does portable gaming so well!

Sun&Moon was a Switch game at heart ported to 3DS because the console wasn't released yet. You can see that because the touch screen is almost not used besides combat and all the UI buttons having an icon for which button to press (as in no touch screen).

I'm gonna be really amused if/when this is for 3DS and the meltdowns begin.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that even though I brought up that tweet when it popped up.
Not that I really disagree but those were just ways of playing a handheld game on TV, not an experience designed explicitly for the large screen.
But even if it does end up on Switch, I wouldn't expect a Gen VII game to be that far removed from its handheld legacy.

I hope Pokken Switch gets announced too. The Wii U version never recieved updates and didn't even run in HD.
Pokemon's assets are HD ready, just needs a little bit of cleaning up
With Eurogamers record, it's going to be in Switch
Pokemon Direct history:
2013 January: Pokemon X & Y announced
2013 September: PokeBank announced, and Pokemon X & Y additional information
2016 February: Pokemon Sun & Moon announced, and additional information on Red/Blue/Yellow VC release on 3DS
So every Pokemon Direct so far has only contained information in regards to main series titles.

Ideally you start there, then make your way to Alola. As long as we get two regions though, I'd be more than happy.

If this was just focused on the 3DS wouldn't you think they might put that information in these announcements to ensure people temper their expectations?
Or maybe they'd leave it ambiguous to get more people to watch?
I guess either option makes sense.

Well, I mean, if the GO updates featured some functionality with whatever game they're about to announce, that would make some sense.
But yeah, it would be a side note, not the main point.

I like this new approach by Nintendo. No more bullshit announcements of announcements that are ten months away or games that are ten years away.
Just basically announce stuff a day in advance and for games, 6 months in advanced.

You do realize that there were 3DS VC releases just last year, and it has PokéBank support right? It's not likely they'll remake the games so quickly.
EDIT:
I wonder how PokéBank will work out if Pokémon Stars ends up getting released on the switch. I don't think it's tied to Nintendo Accounts yet, is it?
Seeing as Mochizuki ( a journalist) recently reminded us of The Pokémon Company making games for the Switch, and with the Eurogamer Stars rumour, I'm pretty confident this will be Pokémon Stars for the Switch, although I won't be surprised if they went and put it on 3DS as well.

Gotta excuse myself to the bathroom at work i guess... lol.
I'm guilty of that with the SunMoon reveal...
Plus if it's an HD version of the last game, it's not going to need a massive blow-out to eat up time on full new games next week.
With the exception of Zelda and their panic 2013 Direct, I think this has been their modus operandi for some time.
