[Kouriozan]

Was this posted? I don't even care anymore. What's Yokai Watch up to?

At least this time we're not comapring those to Digimon :lol
I hope to see more Lillie, like I said in the Direct thread I just want more Lillie.

 

[Kthulhu]

What's the RRP for this?
If they're charging full price they can fuck right off, it just looks like rehashed stuff.

It's Nintendo, it's gonna be full price.

 

[takriel]

Third Versions rarely change platforms. I guess that's the rule.

Still Gen 7.

Gen 8 will be Switch no doubt.

Yes. In 2 years minimum.

 

[Daemul]

Is this like BW2 or more like Y/C/E/P?

The latter

 

[Azuran]

Thank you Game Freak.

Both for not making me spent $400 and for giving us all this salt to enjoy for the next couple of months.

 

[Captain Fun]

With another revision of the 3DS in the works, this makes sense to me. Can't say I'm too let down by it.

 

[PWNGEoftheGODS]

Which was better: Final Fantasy 7 teaser turning out to be a port at PSX, or this?

Still FF7 port teaser

 

[Anoregon]

No Stars on Switch, eh?

 

[BD1]

That was the most throw away, low key, "we know you're pissed" reveal I've ever seen for such a major property. lol.

Pokemon Rumble 3DS got more skin from Nintendo.

 

[SwordStruck]

Some of you are saying it's fine since a Switch version will probably be announced, but why should we be excited for a Switch game limited to the power of the 3DS?

 

[SuperOrez]

Mmmm. I'm down for a new Pokemon hopefully they continue to refine the breeding and ev training process.

 

[Forkball]

I don't get why people are saying that Eurogamer were wrong about Pokemon Stars?

Stars was a codename, Pokemon UltraSun and UltraMoon ARE Pokemon Stars.

They only thing Eurogamer got horribly wrong was that it was exclusive to the Switch.

Oh, the most important part?

 

[Starfish Hero]

Weird how predictable GameFreak is, they did the same thing with B/W and 3DS

And with Emerald and the DS

 

[PAULINK]

this is why I never get hyped on rumors and speculation.

 

[Bamboo 竹]

Well the Switch won't get a main Pokemon game until 2019 then.

 

[sinonobu]

That looks pretty high res, strange. Not really capable of being hopeful for a Switch version atm, though

When I was watching the trailer I was like thats bizzare.

Some said why announce Switch game pre-E3 and I think they were right.

It will come Next Week!

Spoiler

i know im insane

 

[J@hranimo]

So are you gonna tell me Zoids isn't cool as shit though?

 

[Nilaul]

Not buying this...

 

[BooJoh]

Moral of the story: never expect Nintendo/GF to do what you expect them to do.

The funny thing is I totally expected them to do exactly what they always do and not put a mainline Pokemon RPG on a new system right away. I'm completely okay with this news.

I'm looking forward to the eventual Switch Pokemon RPG. Until then, long live 3DS!

 

[Adrian121]

Really hope that they add as much to Sun/Moon in this as B2W2 did to B/W. I'm a little worried they're going to be lazy with this considering the "alternate story" route they seem to be taking.

 

[Mariolee]

Moral of the story: never expect Nintendo/GF to do what you want them to do.

Fixed. This was all fully expected, it's just that we were all in denial.

 

[MasterShotgun]

Well that's one way to use Necrozma.

 

[Sou Da]

You people are deluded if you think this is going to be anywhere near as good as BW2

 

[AzureFlame]

Moral of the story: never expect Nintendo/GF to do what you expect them to do.

i expected them to dissapoint me and they did

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

See I just wish we had more details. Just "an alternate storyline" and "Pokemon who weren't in the last game"? I'm sure we'll get more at E3 but it's just weird that this ended up being 30 seconds of the presentation.

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

Yeah, I really like them, but they basically put their credibility on the line with that report, especially with putting it out the same day as S/M's release. The aftermath from all this is probably going to be brutal. :|

 

[gtj1092]

I guess Nintendo also holds a personal grudge against switch. At least EA is giving switch a version of FIFA.

 

[Oreiller]

I won't be buying a Switch anytime soon I guess.

 

[hardcastlemccormick]

I haven't gotten to Sun and Moon yet. Hopefully the Ultra games are really good releases that can negate the need to buy the originals. Waiting for more info.

Maybe I should upgrade my OG 3DS.

 

[Kyle8497]

Maybe we will see the return of a Colosseum/Gale of Darkness-style game for the Switch.

 

[BitStyle]

Yep. Can't get excited for 3DS games anymore.

 

[phanphare]

so with this announcement

yall think the 3DS family will pass GBA lifetime sales? where is it at now?

 

[DecoReturns]

Glad I like my 3DS.

No Pokémon Colosseum tho. Should be on VC for Switch, please Game freak

 

[MegaMelon]

I don't mind them doing another 3ds or alola game but is this it? No new pokemon, maybe 2 or 3 forms for necro and co and a retreading rather than sequel?

 

[Dryk]

Thinking about it more, the sad thing is that this time around the third legendary doesn't even get to shine. At least in B2/W2 it was Kyurem having other legendaries bolted onto it and not the other way around.

So are you gonna tell me Zoids isn't cool as shit though?

It is, but I couldn't not make the joke it was too obvious.

 

[foxuzamaki]

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.

Literally my thoughts lol

 

[ArchedThunder]

Watch Necrozma get shafted and not get a new form for himself because of those two ugly ass fusions he has with Solgaleo and Lunala.

 

[Weebos]

Moral of the story: never expect Nintendo/GF to do what you expect them to do.

This is exactly what people should have expected them to do.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

3DS means life.

 

[L.O.R.D]

necrozma fusion?

 

[Macka]

So it really isn't hard to figure out why this isn't on the Switch yet. Just not enough units in the wild yet.

No. It's not hard to figure out why it's on the 3DS.

It's just baffling that it isn't on the Switch as well.

 

[GiantBreadbug]

Necrozma-Lunala is cool as fuck, y'all are just mad you didn't get what you wanted

 

[takriel]

First mainline Pokemon games that I will skip.

 

[SolarMystic]

Better than just a straight up port of sun moon imo

No it's not. I'm done playing on a tiny ass 240p screen. It's 2017.

I skipped Sun and Moon to wait for Stars. Will be skipping this entire gen it seems.

I can't go back to playing games on a screen with a resolution as poor as a flip phones was 10 years ago.

 

[bryanee]

They reported about seven months ago that they were told a Switch version of sun and moon is being developed and they said it was happening. And now here we are.

They also said Mother 3 and GCN VC was happening soooooo...

It doesnt mean its not happening. I'd do exactly what GameFreak are doing, release it on 3DS later this year and then a Switch port next year. Take everyone to the cleaners.

 

[SliceSabre]

I mean in a way this sounds like it will sorta be like story DLC except full retail price.

 

[Frostman]

When I was watching the trailer I was like thats bizzare.

Some said why announce Switch game pre-E3 and I think they were right.

It will come Next Week!

Spoiler

i know im insane

Don't do this to yourself.

 

[Currygan]

Some of you are saying it's fine since a Switch version will probably be announced, but why should we be excited for a Switch game limited to the power of the 3DS?

I think the Switch will get a gen 8 mainline, once the install base is there, 3ds has died for good and Gamefreak agrees. So, it will take some time

 

[Pandora012]

At least this time we're not comapring those to Digimon :lol
I hope to see more Lillie, like I said in the Direct thread I just want more Lillie.

Wait Digimon had the armor evolutions in Season 2! This is just like Digimon!

 

[SeanTSC]

 

[Novel Mike]

Any info on what exactly these are yet?

It was strange that they said the 'first' Pokemon game coming to the Switch, that and that little graphic at the very end of the US/UM trailer that looked better then 3DS maybe... Nah, screw it.

If Stars is still happening Nintendo is literally trolling the audience right now, I'm assuming they'll be showing this off at E3 next week but that it seems to be both not a sequel but also not a 'third' version is curious. The 'alternate' storyline could be interesting, really need more information on these games because right now it sounds like an extremely cheap cash grab while the 3DS is still being supported.

Also seriously, where the frick is Pokemon Crystal?
