Game Freak just turned heel. No Switch version, no Crystal. Decidueye was the only good news.
Was this posted? I don't even care anymore. What's Yokai Watch up to?
Yokai Watch on the Switch would be marvelous.

This feels good, because I have been on the "Switch isn't replacing their handhelds" train since the beginning while getting shit on here on GAF for it.
Now it looks more and more like the whole third pillar fake out. 3DS is still selling hardware and software and has a huge userbase, its going to keep getting games until they decide to replace it.
Nintendo had momentum. Momentum.(
Getting the ultra right isnt that meaningful given ultra beasts were a big part of sun and moon
Yep. 3DS with the new revision was begging for more Pokemon. Switch Pokemon will come but it'll be a bit longer so all this hyperbole in here is ridiculous. It always seemed too early for the Switch without the massive userbase a Pokemon game requires. Maybe a year later as you say. But the line-up for the Switch this year is solid enough without a Pokemon game.exactly, This is not surprising and anyone that is saying that this is a surprise was hyping themselves up for no reason.
I can see a version coming out for switch but it will probably be a year or more.
Except the 66 million people with 3DS handheldsYet again, nintendo disappoints everyone
Wow really lots of bad news for the Switch recently huh .. is it a sign of something?
- Port of a Wii U Pokemon game that no one s keen on
- 3DS game instead of a Switch one (what is Nintendo thinking) and no complete
- 3DS game instead of a Switch one (what is Nintendo thinking) and no complete version of Fifa 18
- Nintendo still focused on 3DS instead of Switch (Direct had little to explore on the Switch)
Except the 66 million people with 3DS handhelds
Congratulations. That was my entire point.They're not trash
Ta da

Black 2 and White 2 came out, there's precedent for that. People were already expecting them to put Gold and Silver on the VC after RGBY.what about the 2 dual games releases? Gold Silver and Ultra Sun Ultra Moon.
Yeah, okay. And third pillar etc.

I'm not sure if this was addressed by anyone but at 3:15 mark of the trailer the footage of ultra sun/ultra moon seems just to good for 3ds...

To be fair, this is more on Game Freak & The Pokémon Company than Nintendo themselves.Wow really lots of bad news for the Switch recently huh .. is it a sign of something?

We should've seen it coming.
Except it is replacing their handhelds. That's the whole purpose of the Switch, they wanted to stop having resources split between two platforms.
Keep bringing out those 3DS games, Nintendo! Much appreciated.
I'm sure by the time I get a Switch in a couple of years they'll be making games for that.
The hell are you going on about? The thing is still selling out and we haven't even seen their E3 announcements.
Also this is all TPC and GameFreak, Nintendo doesn't get much say in how they operate
This. Nintendo is showing support for the Switch. Almost exclusively.To be fair, this is more on Game Freak & The Pokémon Company than Nintendo themselves.
Well, it's cool that they are bringing back concepts like fusions.
Makes me Hopeful megas and Z-Moves won't be forgotten
Lunala looks cool, Solgaleo is a fucking Shield Liger
I mean whatever. Don't argue with me. Its reality that they are clearly still putting titles on both.
Congratulations. That was my entire point.
It was reasonable to expect it but we can't say that what happened was unlikely. I remember snapping up a 3DS on day one and then this happening to me with B/W2.
This time I held off as I saw it coming. Man I'd be so pissed right now if I had a Switch.
WorldsE3 next week will be the last chance to announce Pokemon Switch. lol
The only thing I found out with this announcement is the existence of the "NINTENDO SWITCH MASTER RACE" people. I'm surprised.
Exactly the problem. The idea is to build momentum.This will have zero impact on Switch momentum.
I have not read every page, but from a business perspective, this makes perfect sense for GameFreak and Nintendo:
For Poke revenues, think about:
- intall base -- 66m 3DSes in the wild, versus, what, 4m switches?
- discretionary spending in the target Poke audience -- even if the average Pokemon fanatic can find a switch, could they afford to buy one?
For the Switch side -- they already have more demand than they can handle, and they still have big/decent size games like Splatoon 2, Arms, and Mario Odyssey (and now Pokken Tournament). They don't need another marquee title to move systems this year. Better to launch a Switch pokemon in Q1 or A2 2018.
