They also didn't need to make a 3ds Version since the 3ds had backwards compatibility with the DS game.
Only advantage for 3DS only is the dual screen and the $40 price tag.

Whatever happens, someone is gonna die tomorrow.
Donald Trump so we can all party even if the game is 3DS only or it's just a Pokemon Go or spinoff announcement.

Same reason people hate Nintendo when they don't announce things at E3.
The Pokémon Company marches to the beat of their own drum.

I think the game will be for 3DS and Switch. Eurogamer said before that Stars is being developed for Switch.

Given that Sun/Moon came out less than year ago I'm not sure what I want. The Switch version would make the most sense since the rumor was that it was being developed along side Sun/Moon. Kind of soon for a sequel. And has enough time passed for them to really fix Sun/Moon's problems? We'll see I guess.
The only thing that makes me think this might be on Switch is because of how Sun & Moon really didn't make much use of the lower screen.
Then again, GameFreak gonna GameFreak.
If it's 3DS only...it's downright idiotic imo. They have a new platform that GameFreak themselves are going to be depending on in the future, and you want to take away focus from it three months after launch and right before E3? Insanity.

They promptly updated us on that when they heard otherwise. Eurogamer would have done the same thing with Stars if they heard about it being cross-gen instead of Switch-only.

That was Emily Rogers, not Eurogamer. Is she also the source of Stars rumors too?
Eurogamer was the source of the Stars rumor. That said, both Eurogamer & Emily Rogers heard from NoE sources back then that Zelda may not make it to the Switch's launch. But as of January (a few days before the Switch presentation), Eurogamer heard from their other Nintendo sources that Nintendo as a whole decided to move forward with getting BotW out on the Switch's launch.

But a third version/sequel has never been announced 6 months after the previous game.
It might just be that Kanto 20 years later game with the endgame in Alola.

God Hau is so fucking lame.
I miss Blue and Silver. Those guys knew how to throw down. I miss having a rival who would talk shit.

Ok Guys, my batshit crazy prediction that will never happen:
Pokemon Stars is actually Pokemon Red star, Blue star, and Green star! Red is exclusive to switch, Blue and Green to New 2DS/New3DS.
The game takes place in Kanto as you, a new youth from pallet town who grew up hearing the stories about the legend of Kanto star Red, decides to follow in his footsteps to be the best that ever was. The motto for these games: "Reach for the stars!!".
Journey thru Kanto, with Alola post game. Lillie is the new Kanto Champ. New gym leaders, with the some of the originals becoming the new elite 4 ( Brock, Misty, Erika, Blaine). Old characters, new adventures, Kanto 20 years later! I think I just peed a little.

Because they have the spotlight for themselves instead of sharing it with a pletora of other games? Why doesn't that make sense to so many people in here lol.
That's what Gladion was for.

The Pokémon Company typically prefers to reveal mainline Pokémon games on their own terms, likely to better dominate the headlines.
Pokemon doesn't need E3 to get attention. If whatever announced is going to be playable at some form in E3, the best way is to announce it beforehand.

I'll admittedly die a little bit on the inside if it's a 3DS only entry.
Of course everyone with a 3ds could still play that DS game just fine so that's a completely different situation.
Say that to the wallet when it comes to payed online.

If Eurogamer is wrong on one thing then they would be wrong on everything. Why are people saying Stars is going to happen (when there hasn't been a third version since Platinum) but not exclusively on Switch.
And even on that one thing (Zelda's release date), they updated us when they heard news that contradicted their earlier report.

$20 a year is just soooooooooo outrageous
I'm kind of excited about this despite losing most interest in the series after X/Y, but i'm definitely going to taper my expectations. SuMo wild pokemon variety / post-game were abysmal, so hopefully whatever this is resolves that.
What I still find hilarious is the constant Kanto dreaming in every game thread. Nostalgia game strong on GAF.

If they did something like this, Blue would be the Switch exclusive version seeing as in Japan, Blue was the enhanced version of Red and Green.
Lol.
Shit-talking isn't healthy for you anyways ;D
Also they said "most games", if any game would be an exception, it'd be Pokemon imo
Burning Justice

Yeah, I suppose they did. Considering Emily Rogers and Laura Kate Dale did as well, though, and considering Nintendo's GDC presentation suggested they always intended to have it out at launch, I'm still not entirely convinced the original report was ever accurate.
Eurogamer said in the article I linked that they heard it from a source separate from Emily.

People are flinging out theories like there's no tomorrow. This is what I'm leaning toward. Not confident in it, but out of all the options, this seems the most appealing to me.

I think it was only because scheduling in video games is always in flux.
