If they'd indeed announce a full fledged Pokémon RPG for Switch they fucking unleash the leviathan.
If Nintendo doesn't have enough Switches to stock Pokémon, I'd say they're allergic to money.
They certainly don't have enough Switches in stores for Pokemon demand right now, but maybe in a year
Production can only be increased so much. There's no way they'll be able to meet the holiday demand.I think it is an absolute sound business decision to be conservative with the initial production volumes considering the WiiU.
That said I am pretty sure they can and are increasing production by now. I'd bet we won't see shortages by Christmas. Although a sublime Pokémon would probably not be scheduled against a mainline 3D Mario title.

If Pokemon Stars is really coming in the fall, there will be blood in the aisles of Walmart.
There's also Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions
Maybe unloading the rest of their 3DS info so E3 can have more focus on the Switch?
I'm assuming you mean a main series entry, not a spin-off.
Wouldn't that be a troll though if we're all sitting here waiting for the Stars megaton to drop and they announce Pokemon Rumble Switch or some shit.
That terrible franchise that directly ruined and ended the Paper Mario franchise is also a waste of a direct.This is definitely a game they dont need to waste E3 on and is more suited to a direct.
I really don't expect them to keep Pokemon Stars a secret until E3. I'm surprised it hasn't been officially announced yet, unless it really isn't coming this year.
Can't be a general Nintendo Direct so soon after the last one and right before E3.
Also it's going to be a WW one, and SF2U release in July in Europe.
Could be ARMS.
I was wondering when this would be revealed as there was no Direct on the horizon. Guess that's it
Not likely. They just reserved a spot for it on their servers. It'll probably be an "avaible right now" deal.
I'm thinking the 3DS content will largely be show floor, press packages, and the typical post-direct Live event, with the actual major announcements for the 3DS coming now. I don't think a 3DS remake of Mario and Luigi is E3-Direct reveal material.
Animal Crossing mobile announcement, maybe...?
Although a mainline Pokémon would probably not be scheduled against a mainline 3D Mario title.
If Stars is real it'll be like:
Sept: FE Warriors
Oct: Pokemon Stars
Nov: Mario (+ zelda dlc)
Dec: Xenoblade 2 (or enter wii u port) (+ some other big dlc)
I mean if it's going to be Pokémon nothing else is going to be shown in that Direct since it tends to take attention away from other announcements.
That would kind of make sense. AC mobile doesn't seem like an E3 thing.Animal Crossing mobile announcement, maybe...?

It's a bit to early for that, if AC comes out next year it would make more sense to announce it in the autumn

We've all been expecting/hoping for a proper console 3D Pokémon on Switch. There's a lot of talk about it in this thread. Is it really going to happen or is this just excited speculation? I'm trying to temper expectations but I'm ready to have my mind blown, massively.

Don't do this to me, GAF.
Basically if hey will not announce it within Thursday it will be debunked right? Just to have a calendar horizon
How about an open world Pokémon game in the style and size of BotW WITH online Multiplayer?
That if by Thursday there's no announcement then nothing will happen and the empty slot was random.Sorry I don't understand what you're saying.
Nah, they already showed some stuff in the previous one and the games is a month and a half away.Arms Direct most likely.
Arms Direct most likely.
That's not true. Pokémon has been part of many combined directs. Even with new announcements for main series gamesI mean if it's going to be Pokémon nothing else is going to be shown in that Direct since it tends to take attention away from other announcements.
We just started a new Pokémon generation. Any main series games will be a part of that generation and so wouldn't be that different in engine to Sun and Moon.
