Guess Switch will see nothing before the 8th generation, gg

 

[Vashetti]

So what, so they release games for Wii?

Nosense from Nintendo wtf

The Wii is a dead console, 3DS is not.

Pokémon games typically sell 10 million+ each.

Switch doesn't have the userbase to pull in massive Pokémon sales yet.

 

[Newk86]

What the heck are they though exactly? DLC? Updated games? Entirely new titles? Stream didn't show much.

 

[flagdaddy]

bruh what? Hahahah Nintendo u dumb

Also I'm hurt

 

[Sephzilla]

lmao

 

[SatoAilDarko]

I mean Black and White 2 for DS came over a year after the 3DS launched.

X and Y didn't come till 2 and a half years after the 3DS launched.

 

[Daemul]

3DS is dead they said. Switch will replace it they said.

 

[notaskwid]

 

[jj984jj]

So much for Pokemon Stars. I wonder if this is at least a sequel, seems like laziest attempt from Game Freak yet if it's just two minor improved versions.

 

[Geg]

So was the Mario + Rabbids game literally the only pre-Switch event "leak" that ended up being true?

 

[tinypixels]

The 3ds lives on!

 

[Axass]

So much for leakers being so sure about something once again.

 

[PancakeAlmighty]

Gotta Squeeze the last of that 3DS blood dry!

 

[JB2448]

Guess Mother 3 is totally happening too, right Eurogamer?
Can people stop taking "leaks" from sources as gospel now?

 

[BGBW]

FFS Eurogamer. I TRUSTED YOU

I warned you about the Eurogamer bro.

Enjoy your Mother 3.

 

[kyo2004]

Are they new games or improved versions?

Maybe both?... Just like White2/Black2 situation...

 

[Torokil]

 

[MGrant]

It's obvious from that long ad they ran that Nintendo thinks the mainline pokemon games are for the younger kids, thus the 3ds, while the adults play Pokken on the Switch. What they don't realize is that millennials will fucking cut you for a mainline pokemon game on their platform of choice.

 

[Mariolee]

Poor Eurogamer gonna get the brunt of the heat today.

 

[AGITΩ]

Gamefreak gonna Gamefreak.
Wasn't expecting to be so disappointed, but totally disappointed.
Not feeling up to playing much on my 3DS anymore, so I'm gonna pass on this entry.

 

[Sesha]

Not surprised. Stars will probably take more than an additional year to make, the 3DS is still strong (and stronger than Switch), and they didn't do a second version for X and Y.

 

[CaviarMeths]

Lol

lmao

hahahaha

Hahaha.

lol

LMAO

Ahahahahahahahahaahha

lmao

lmao

Lol

 

[brinstar]

w h y

 

[phanphare]

padding those lifetime 3DS sales numbers lol

 

[hughesta]

I don't have a 3DS and I'm not going to buy one now that I already own a Switch

I really wanted to play this dope looking Pokemon game but I guess I'll go fuck myself

rip

 

[Vanille]

Just fucking die already 3DS.

 

[woopWOOP]

lol, expected as much

Will buy depending on list of improvements

 

[ggx2ac]

Downside: Damn, I was wrong thinking it would at least be multiplatform rather than exclusive to 3DS.

Upside: I can go back to playing Pokémon Sun since I haven't finished the game.

 

[Zautruche]

I'm so happy about this.
Not only do we get another Pokemon game on 3DS we also get to enjoy the tears of the Switch crowd.

 

[MrSaturn99]

I'm actually not surprised. Remember what happened with the B/W games on DS?

So is this a sequel like B/W 2 or a Yellow-esque take on S/M?

 

[Qurupeke]

Hahahaha. Love the meltdowns. I was expecting a 3DS game.

 

[RoboGeorgeForeman]

Not surprised, but I'm probably going to skip.

 

[Scrawnton]

So when will eurogamer become a banned site in regards to rumors and leaks?

 

[Francokid1]

et tu Eurogamer ?

 

[Mr. Phellps]

So UltraS&M is bringing 3D back?

Not that I care much, but I hope they improved performance because some areas of S&M lagged like hell even without 3D.

 

[hotcyder]

Don't know what's getting hit harder: the NeoGaf forums or the Samaritans Hotline

 

[Rootbeer]

That's cool Gamefreak. As long as you're releasing them on 3DS only, I'm not interested. Wake me when you have a real Switch title to show off.

Pokken has its fans... I'm sure they are happy right now, so good for them.

 

[Caboose]

NINTENDO ARE WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE

 

[Plum]

I get to make this joke again!

Game Freak when faced with a new console:

 

[JB-the-Hunter]

Stars at E3 then... right?

 

[OrbitalBeard]

It's going to be a rough day for Eurogamer. Stay strong, guys.

 

[Gaspard]

B2W2 all over again, the tears are delish

 

[BossRush]

Splitting the third version into two games? Uuuggghhh. At least Black and White 2 were actual sequels

 

[Kraq]

I skipped out on Sun/Moon (first time I've done that for the Pokemon main series) as they failed to add in a Challenge Mode for anyone who's been playing these games for more than 6 months. I'll put this on the watch list for now, but if it's the same situation, it'll be another no buy.

 

[BooJoh]

Downside: Damn, I was wrong thinking it would at least be multiplatform rather than exclusive to 3DS.

Upside: I can go back to playing Pokémon Sun since I haven't finished the game.

About how I feel about this.

 

[jph139]

lol

I won't pretend it's not a reasonable move for Gamefreak to make but, yeah, right in the trash.

 

[Zedark]

What a strange announcement. This is basically a third version in two games, isn't it? They're upping their game in that respect. Quite disappointing it isn't for Switch, but Pokken is cool at least.

 

[Li Kao]

Mmh, is this a new game or not ?
Just wondering if I can buy Sun/Moon or should wait for Ultra if it is a sort of remake like they did in the past.

 

[JustSomeone]

Are they new games or improved versions?

 

[kewlmyc]

At work, so can't watch. What are the differences between this new one and the old one?
