"This alternate retelling of Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon has over 20 additional minutes of Lillie griping about how useless she is."
What if she switches places with Gladion in this one.

Yeah, if we need to be salty about anything IT'S THIS.I'm more mad that this how they're using Necrozma.
The irony in that is by doing it this way they're hurting the sales potential of the Switch this holiday. What parents are gonna pick up a Switch for their kids on Black Friday when a brand new Pokémon game is out for a cheaper N2DS XL?
Nintendo has to realize that with their announcement today they are forcing the Switch and 3DS to compete with each other this holiday.
Probably no bundle, but a special console.Should we expect an N2DSXL bundle with this?
What's the point of doing a hybrid system if you're not launching your biggest handheld IP on it as soon as possible?
They bet their credibility on Pokémon Stars Switch exclusive for 2017.
Nintendo will have Mario for this holiday, and Mario Kart bundles sell well (this even includes 2 controllers).The irony in that is by doing it this way they're hurting the sales potential of the Switch this holiday.

Seems disappointing. B2W2 were sequels, these just seem like updates. Though, I guess I should wait for more information to come out. It's looking like a skip from me for now.Laziest ? Care to share want about it seems lazy ?
New Pokemon, New locations, new forms don't seem lazy to me.

Yup, this. Still waiting on that DS successor since they indicated they don't see the 3DS as one by releasing BW2 in 2012.I think that kills off the notion entirely that Nintendo sees the Switch as a 3DS successor. We'll have a new handheld in a couple of years and the next Pokemon will be on that. The Switch is their Wii U successor, not a hybrid.
THAT'S NICE NINTENDO WHERE THE FUCK IS THE SWITCH VERSION
The background. That's an Eclipse.
I don't know what people were thinking if you believed that Stars was coming out this year....
I mean Nintendo has put out Zelda, Mario, ARMS, Splatoon, Mario Kart and supposedly Xenoblade this year on there release schedule.
Why on Earth would they also release a Pokemon game? You think they want that competing with Mario this fall? Not even a little bit.
They gotta save some shit for next year haha.
Maybe a Stars game is also coming to Switch.... Or are we giving up?
They only did this because TPC puts in bare minimum effort on the iterations and they literally don't have to make any new assets as long as it's on the 3DS.
What the heck are they though exactly? DLC? Updated games? Entirely new titles? Stream didn't show much.
Um...why is this so shocking? This isn't CALLED Pokemon Stars and it implies that it's more of a slightly 'expanded' version of Sun/Moon then anything else. And the Switch IS getting a Pokemon game in the form of Pokken Deluxe.
I'm sure the Switch will get a RPG Pokemon at some point but we didn't see Pokemon jump to the DS the moment that came out, same with Black & White 2 releasing on the DS when the 3DS was out and about.
Game Freak is weird sometimes, so we should know this by now.
They said 'first game' because they'll support it with mainline games in the future. Nothing more to it.
Those new forms look horrible. GF has 8 year olds doing designs now?

I'm not sure if this was addressed by anyone but at 3:15 mark of the trailer the footage of ultra sun/ultra moon seems just to good for 3ds...

Pokemon Solar Eclipse and Pokemon Luna Eclipse would have been great titlesLogos are Eclipses. Necrozma forming an armor on sun/moon (legendary pokemon) = eclipse.
That's not better than keep the desire of the product at really high leavers going into 2018. You have to admit that Pokémon US/UM on Switch this fall would make the system a much much more desirable product. Without them it's lineup feels lacking in a big way.I think the Switch will sell great this fall regardless of Pokemon being on it. Nintendo will sell as many Switch's as they can make.

If it is minor rework of previous Sun/Moon, it wouldn't be worth the effort.
Switch likely needs to wait for next major "series".
Uhhh I can't find a Switch, if it frees consoles so I can get one this holiday, yay.The irony in that is by doing it this way they're hurting the sales potential of the Switch this holiday.

I guess so. I was just thinking about how many plot threads in S/M seemed to be setting themselves up for a sequel so I was hoping for more of a continuation (a la B2/W2) rather than the alternate approach.
Who was honestly asking for a Pokken port?
