I'm tired of the 3DS cockblocking the switch
Yeah it isn't just Pokemon, I think it is frustration about this in general.

Switch portbegging is like a cancer on NeoGAF.
This was the worst direct in quite sometime. I hope they can take a hint that Pokken will never be a thing, they need to to accept that and move on.
Just checked. No, the Japanese names are the exact same as the English ones. Remember, the games are called Pocket Monster in Japan, so there's a "star" at the end of that due to how Japanese works, but it's just part of the Pocket Monster.
They never said that. As the matter of fact, they said almost the opposite.

This is worst than the worst case scenario for me. It's one thing to announce two half assed sequels less than a year after the original exclusively for the 3DS, but to start the direct by presenting the Switch and saying "and now we will announce our first Pokemon game for the Switch" is just evil.
It's like they went out of their way to bum me out lol
And the rabbit hole gets deeper. This is our descent into maddness.

Nintendo needs to drop the 3DS like they dropped the Wii U, ASAP.

Oh c'mon. This is just too much. Secret E3 announcement or human error? I'm gonna go with the latter.TPC press release lists for Switch https://twitter.com/Pokebip/status/872097962628874240

"Oh shit we fucked up, we forgot to remove switch until it gets officially announced."
All I want is a Pokemon game on the Switch, whether or not it's Stars.
Oh yeah lets drop a successful system like that! The 3DS can live a little more.
lol even the written press release is vague on the subject, jesus fuck nintendo im dying
This looks like Switch capability to you guys? Looks exactly like 3DS to me.
And another thing. Doesn't HeartGold & SoulSilver already exist? Why VC of the original.....they could have just ported over the definitive versions with Pokemon Bank compatibility.
I just arrived, what happened, can someone do a recap?

You guys thought the train stopped at Pokémon Direct station? It just keeps going, and the railroad ended at the station.
Nintendo isn't releasing a new mainline Pokemon game on Switch this year. That's what happened.I just arrived, what happened, can someone do a recap?

lol
fuckThey just annouce a bunch of titles for 3ds and just a Pokkén for Switch.

It looked exactly like Sun/Moon. Whether Ultra comes to the Switch or not, what we saw today was 3ds footage.The Switch can do more for sure, but the resolution in that footage is way higher than the 3DS' 240p.
I looks like an uprezzed 3DS game, which is what I expect from TPC for the Switch.
They literally made a chart saying that.
We have heard speculation that Nintendo Switch will replace the Nintendo 3DS, as both are game systems that can be played outside the home, but Nintendo 3DS has unique characteristics that differ from those of Nintendo Switch. Furthermore, the price points and play experiences offered by the two systems are different and we do not see them as being in direct competition. We plan to continue both businesses separately and in parallel.
^this is pretty much why Nintendo does what they doyou have no one to blame for your disappointment but yourselves.
Pokemon NEVER releases on Nintendo new consoles in the first year..EVER. There is no precedent for it, why would they start now? They tend to release some spin off first to get used to the console and then start the new gen..
This board also needs to stop taking rumors as gospel. Too often they get blown the fuck out by rumors not being true and then getting mad at companies for it.
The Switch will be fine. It has Mario as the big game this holiday plus hopefully other shit. It didn't need Pokemon in its first year to build momentum. Like it or not the 3DS still exists and has an audience. Its funny too that people often shit on Nintendo for abandoning their systems too early and the one time they finally don't they lose their shit. Just because your old systems suddenly stop existing to you once new hardware hits does not mean that is the case for everyone.
Its also funny to see people so butthurt and going "oh boy I can't wait to play the same shitty game again" in a thread in which they were hoping for a port of said shitty game....lol.
Can't wait for e3 where even more bloated expectations are ruined.
I'm not even gonna bother with getting my hopes up lolPress release does not mention 3DS

I agree. A dual Switch version would've been nice, or possibly will be nice if it's announced later down the line, but I honestly can't see why people are so angry that it's not coming to Switch. Well I can, raised expectations due to a rumour that looks increasingly dubious as time passes, but in isolation, Game Freak has no obligation to release Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon on the Switch. The 3DS isn't dead yet, it's a thriving platform, and the Switch has only just been released. You wouldn't want to split a Gen and its player-base across the console generations, and I imagine that a dual release would be difficult across the 3DS and Switch compared to, say, Game Boy and Game Boy Colour. All in all, it would've been neat, but it really doesn't warrant the amount of anger I've been reading.you have no one to blame for your disappointment but yourselves.
