Quoting JimJamJomes from the announcement thread.

The dream is dead

There's a people still thinking there'll be a surprise Switch reveal, so I thought this deserved a separate thread.

 

[Vinc]

So what the hell IS Stars?

 

[Kouriozan]

Ultra games port is dead, onto Eclipse Switch exclusive now!

 

[Ray Down]

Dream dead (I don't really care, but thought this image would show how some would feel)

 

[Asd202]

Damn.

 

[Sioul]

So what the hell IS Stars?

Pokémon Z remake

 

[PrinnyBomb]

Good that they cleared that up so quickly.

 

[Antiwhippy]

So what the hell IS Stars?

A miserable pile of lies.

 

[The Hermit]

Breaking that last branch before hitting the ground that is reality

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

Wow. So Stars is just passing meteor that will continue into the vast plane of nothingness?

 

[Calm Mind]

Eurogamer gets BTFO

 

[Omitat]

So what the hell IS Stars?

It's Pokemon Snap but renamed Pokemon Stars, 'cause you're snapping pictures of Pokemon stars.

 

[Gnilres]

So what the hell IS Stars?

Just a rumor. People are angry Nintendo didn't announce a rumored game that no one was sure even ever existed.

 

[Geg]

So what the hell IS Stars?

It's time to let go.

 

[JimJamJones]

 

[Yoshimitsu126]

So what the hell IS Stars?

Something Tom Assumed Reputation Shot

 

[OrbitalBeard]

And there it is. I'm glad they cleared that up quickly.

 

[E_Darkness]

People 'really' want a Switch port.

 

[sinonobu]

4chan said Switch will get Eclipse

#BELIEVE

 

[Mediking]

*looks at my Switch*

*Switch looks back at me*

*looks at wallet*

*wallet looks back*


I understand from a business point and I still do think the Switch will get a Pokemon mainline in the future though. Just not now.

Japan will still go crazy when Splatoon 2 and MH Switch hits.

 

[McDougles]

Nothing said has de-confirmed the possibility of a Pokemon Stars on Switch. Just that these specific names aren't coming to the Switch.

 

[True Fire]

So what the hell IS Stars?

A lie

 

[Dandy Crocodile]

3DS still getting first party exclusives at the end of 2017.
It really won't die. Legend. ✌️

 

[demosthenes]

Just a rumor. People are angry Nintendo didn't announce a rumored game that no one was sure even ever existed.

People are angry that Nintendo is acting the same way they always do.

 

[AGITΩ]

I'll just keep pouring salt packets on myself

 

[TheDinoman]

So what the hell IS Stars?

Non-existent.

 

[Styles]

 

[wapplew]

Which mean we'll get native Switch Pokémon, cool.

 

[Instro]

Just a rumor. People are angry Nintendo didn't announce a rumored game that no one was sure even ever existed.

Well that and being angry at the lack of Switch games, while Nintendo announces new 3DS games.

 

[vgamer1]

Recently jumped back into Sun to try and finish that game up - and going back to the 240p screen from Switch's 720p REALLY hurts.

 

[Usobuko]

I wonder how much they are expecting to sell for these two games.

Lazy naming, ugly ultra version of legendaries and like little efforts put in.

 

[Ridley327]

Welp, there goes Eurogamer's credibility for a while. At least we still have Digital Foundry!

 

[daffy]

Pokken tournament brehs

 

[True Fire]

Nothing said has de-confirmed the possibility of a Pokemon Stars on Switch. Just that these specific names aren't coming to the Switch.

Are they really going to release a third third version? There will be more third versions than original versions.

They need to focus on Gen 8 and kill Gen 7 with USUM.

 

[butman]

So what the hell IS Stars?

An internet rumour

 

[Servbot24]

I want Stars on Switch anyways, not Ultra-Sun/Moon.

 

[Wanderer5]

Good that they cleared this up fast.

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

So what the hell IS Stars?

Burning balls of gas that are light years away from Earth.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Get ready for Pokemon Peanut Butter and Jelly coming 2020 to promote the Japanese Olympics!

 

[Mediking]

They were quick to clarify because they want as much sales on 3DS as possible before pulling a Switch edition. Capcom did the same thing with Monster Hunter recently.

 

[Brazil]

Longe live the 3DS.

Wow. So Stars is just passing meteor that will continue into the vast plane of nothingness?

Just like Pokémon Grey 3DS.

 

[Mr-Joker]

So what the hell IS Stars?

This is more or less "Pokémon Star", "Pokémon Star" was a codename that the fandom gave it.

This not new as we had this with Pokémon Grey in gen 5 and recently with "Pokémon Z", which ended up not happening in game form.

The same thing will happen again with Gen 8 and people will once again fall for the same trap because they don't learn.

 

[The Last One]

This is the start of E3 2017 for me.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

So what the hell IS Stars?

There was a 4chan rumor a couple of weeks ago that called out by name Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon for 3DS, and mentioned Eclipse for Switch in 2018.

 

[Kthulhu]

So dumb.

 

[Passose]

For a moment I thought the name was Pokemon Ultra Sun:The Final Challengers

 

[BasilZero]

I had a feeling Stars wasn't real.


I am fine with that - more 7th gen goodness!

 

[Angry Chair]

We will be lucky if gen 8 is on the Switch.

 

[Wanderer5]

Well that and being angry at the lack of Switch games, while Nintendo announces new 3DS games.

Maybe wait just a bit more for E3 lol.

 

[Griss]

Just because Ultra Moon and Ultra Sun are definitely not coming to Switch doesn't mean the rumoured Stars version isn't. It's highly unlikely (you'd expect them to just move on to a new gen), but I'm just saying that this release doesn't rule that out.

They were quick to clarify because they want as much sales on 3DS as possible before pulling a Switch edition. Capcom did the same thing with Monster Hunter recently.

Quite possibly this, too. And then 'We never said STARS wasn't coming, just the ULTRA versions.'
