Except all those games were playable on the new system as well. That's not the case here.

They could release on both Switch + 3DS.
Considering the mess they've made, they need to move it up

Hopefully he was never born in UltrAlola.
Ok, I don't know what people expected. Obviously less Thacker a year after Sun and Moon's release they wouldn't already have something ready to show on Switch. Just think of how BW 2 released on DS over a year after the 3DS released. This was because they were working in XY behind the scenes, but needed something to put out in the mean time. This is a similar situation where while they're making a game for Switch, they're quickly throwing together amother game on the Sun/Moon engine to hold us over until then.

Nah. Any of the 3DS Pokemon games would look like garbage at 1080p and it's not worth the time, effort, and money for Game Freak to rebuild the game from the ground up at this point in time for the Switch.
The best thing is for them to start working on the next generation of Pokemon for the Switch, which they're more than likely doing at this point.

Now the 'Switch isn't a 3DS successor' crowd is going to feel emboldened
I wonder if they'll still be going on about that this time next year when 3DS isn't getting games anymore
I mean they're the kind of people to take a late Pokemon release of all things as proof of their theory so who knows with them

So is USUM a new game or an updated version?
Would really appreciate more info in the OP.

I don't see any reason why they would show Ultra Sun and Moon for 3DS and just "not mention" a Switch version. The games are likely 3DS exclusive
Switch version exclusive feature. :^)
It's the Sun & Moon game on an alternate reality and new Pokémon, that's all we know for now.
This was proven wrong ages ago. S/M are all set for a good Switch port.

Wait, I thought this was Pokemon, not Digimon?

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Part of the problem is Nintendo didn't go into great detail on the actual game we are getting.

Pokégaf right now (myself included, I suppose):
Ah well; good for folks who still use their 3DS regularly, but I'm probably gonna skip this one unless a lot of entirely new Pokémon are added.

I'm talking more about the "240p is dead" comments than the people actually annoyed by this being a 3DS game.

For 3DS and Switch owners (or soon to be owners), how would you feel if GameFreak does make Pokemon Stars on Switch but announced it after Ultra Sun and Moon releases?

There really isn't much information, sadly. We'll likely find out more next week.

It's not really clear. Alternate version of the story and Pokemon that weren't in the previous games is all we know. Nintendo is being weirdly confusing about this.
This is all the info you're gonna get AND YOU'RE GONNA LIKE IT.
But we may get more info next week. Last year they showed off a lot of Sun/Moon during E3.
To be honest they only showed the playable character walking in what seems to be the start of the game where you probably don't have a Pokémon yet, so who knows.
E3..?
I mean, this is Nintendo. They can likely do a "oh, it's coming to Switch, too!" during a Treehouse presentation.
The timing of this event and E3 gives some window, however small, for them to announce another version.

They knew we wouldn't be worthy when we got mad about the new Pokemon news.

The Switch is replacing the Wii U.
The 3DS will eventually stop getting new releases, but I don't think that the Switch is "replacing" it. The 3DS is simply being put out to pasture with no planned follow-up.

Glad to see the 3DS still getting support. I skipped Sun and Moon initially so I'll be getting this.

I never heard that one before.

So no more Pokemon games?
Another reason why I have to imagine doing the B&W2 strategy might not work and why Nintendo might feel more compelled to port is because that game had the advantage of being Backward Compatible where-as this doesn't. There was no point in them doing a 3DS version of that game where-as I can see all the reason for them doing a Switch version here.
It's an "alternate storyline". We really don't know anything about it, and that's why it's so weird. It's such a weird time to announce a game that is likely not even going to be at E3 if it really is 3DS only, since the Spotlight is Switch focused.
The 3DS Pokemon games look fantastic when emulated due to filters and upscaling, and the game chugs on 3DS already due to the insane amount of polygon work that's gone into the models of the Pokemon. I'm sure Game Freak could integrate some easy pizzazz in a Switch port. Not every Switch game needs to look cutting-edge.

Didn't some chick wanna make some Pikachu place in S/M? I know she had a few Pikachu.
That fossil place will probably be built up in this game for sure though.

That's some awfully convenient logic. Logic that flies in the face of what we've learned about Nintendo's restructuring over the last few years. I don't see why Switch doesn't serve as 3DS's replacement as well, when it's nearly certainly Nintendo's flagship console and handheld for the next few years.
I'm still gonna be getting the games, but man I really was hoping they'd be on Switch. Gold and Silver is awesome though.
oh shit this is like the first time I've seen you post without "best wishes" tagged on the end of it :O :O

That's actually a really fair point.
But I still don't see why they would do that. If they are going out of their way to have a Pokemon Direct it makes no sense to save Ultra S&M for E3 1 week later.
Switch is not a 3DS successor in the classical way like 3DS was to DS or GBA to GBC.
That is known.
Its a new thing all together.

So why does it seem like this won't be even close to what BW2 did after the original 2? Ultra? Seems super... I don't know. Makes it seem like it isn't some big upgrade from the originals.
