There literally won't be enough Switches to support what a Pokémon game would normally sell at that point. I think there could be something on both systems, but maybe they are different games.It's adorable to believe that it would sell that much considering everybody would buy the Switch version anyway.
Yes there is.
66 million userbase for one.
Engine and assets are already done. Connectivity too.
Lol.The last Pokémon Direct was announced on the Wednesday and was streamed on the Friday.

By that logic they should've made Pokemon X/Y on the DS. 120 milllion+ userbase. Also that's not how it works.

What weird argument are you trying to make here? X/Y came out more than two years into the 3DS' life... Stars would be releasing within the first year of Switch's release. A year in which Nintendo is not only actively releasing software for 3DS, but also releasing new revisions. Is this a copypasta?

Random thought: I wonder if they'll ever Remake Gen 1 again.
How a HD version of that would do today? So much nostalgia for the original 151.
And play on what ?It's adorable to believe that it would sell that much considering everybody would buy the Switch version anyway.
Third versions aren't quite to that degree, though (except Yellow). Still, Game freak will probably want to release on 3DS as well, and I only think Stars Switch exclusive is possible if Nintendo put work into persuading GF that Switch is their future and they will want to invest in that (which I don't think is impossible, the return of the third version in itself would be a notable development, so who knows if Nintendo had a hand in realising that as well). Eh, we'll see as time passes how this episode plays out.Black 2 and White 2 already came out on DS a year after the 3DS was released. At some point you have to move on to the next system or risk fans rioting. We should be happy they are even supporting the Switch this early on, tbh.
Also, the Switch probably won't even be 10 million units in by the time Stars comes out. Major Pokemon games are ~15 million sellers these days, and that happens on a system with a 65+ million install base. Nintendo and GameFreak would seriously cap sales by limiting it to Switch only.
My final point: Whether Stars is a Switch only game or a cross-gen game, the amount of Switches sold will be the same - whatever Nintendo can produce. People will be buying Switches this holiday already for Mario. A Pokemon game, exclusive or not, is just going to make demand outpace supply that much more.
Was this before or after he retweeted your other tweets? Need to know to accurately gauge brightness of the moment.
this was after
I know that people who play a lot of Pokemon hate this idea, but as someone who only really played the original Gameboy game back in the day, I wish they would.
I tried Pokemon X and I struggled to get into it because I was unfamiliar with the seven billion new pokemon and I couldn't keep track of all the new mechanics and weakness types. I was having to reference a website on my phone for every battle and it just wasn't very fun to play it that way.

It might not need a pokémon to keep selling out, but I doubt Nintendo would want to risk having a lull in sales as that might damage the Switch' perception as a powerful sales machine and as a result seem less promising for third parties to invest in. I think they will put out the pokémon game if it is ready (and real, thou I trust Eurogamer know what they're talking about).I don't see Pokemon happening this year if the Switch has stock issues.

What I dont understand is when Pokemon would release if its this year. So far Nintendo is keeping with one big title per month and Mario already has November on lock which is when Pokemon games usually release.
X/Y came out in October, IIRC.
Looks like youre right. That takes care of the release date dilemma
Arms in June
Splatoon 2 in July
Fire Emblem Warriors in August
Mario & Rabbids RPG in September
Pokemon Stars in October
Mario Odyssey in November
Xenoblade 2 in December
I remember seeing FE Warriors was fall 2017 as well, maybe you should interchange FE Warriors and Rabbids?Looks like youre right. That takes care of the release date dilemma

Yep I 100% agree. They can bring the walking to the New 3DS and whatever else with the new power. It doesn't have to be Switch exclusive because the Switch should be selling out in the holiday, but you still want Pokémon there to make sure that happens.I think it's going to be New 3ds / Switch exclusive leaving out the old 3ds.
The regular 3ds suffered running Sun&Moon, and I fully expect this game to add new features like bringing back some features like Walking Pokemon. OG 3ds won't be able to run the game.
Damn that's a good line up of games.
Remember those PRE Switch reveal days?
They're back.
This is peanuts compared to those days.Remember those PRE Switch reveal days?

It's kind of weird to expect a new Pokemon game that has to be on two completely different platforms that would require basically two different games being made. That's way more work than it should to be making a third version of a game on a dying platform. There's not a whole lot of incentive to be making another 3DS Pokemon even with it's 66 million userbase because everybody is focused on the Switch at this point. A Pokemon game on Switch would be huge in of itself because you can market it as the first Pokemon game on a home console. It would give a reason for a third version to exist which historically, have always been pointless in the grand scheme of things. Gaf has got to learn to get over that there's more to games getting made besides userbase. Yes the 3DS has sold lots but it's also at the end of its life and sales have slowed down significantly. The Switch has seen huge growth and Stars could end up having huge legs for years considering it's releasing within the first year of a system. Not to mention the only rumor of this game pins it as being Switch exclusive. So I'm like 95% sure Stars is exclusive to the Switch. Could be wrong but quote me when the game is announced and I'll end up being right.

What's new?You guys are crazy.
Whoever said it, I firmly believe at some point we'll either get a remake of gen 1 or another Kanto game. For the nostalgia factor if nowt else.

The only point I'm trying to make is that there is logic behind the idea that it could be on both. 3DS is not a "dying platform" in Nintendo's eyes this fall. The game is also rumored to be a third version of games that already released on
What inventory are they withholding?If that was true, woukdnt it be much easier to buy a 3ds? Nintendo seems to be intentionally witholding inventory for some reason.
