Added 2017-06-07 00:20:39 +0000 UTCEarlier they had a Nintendo Direct where they announced some Pokemon stuff... not surprisingly, they announced a rerelease of Pokken tournament for Switch and a semi-sequel to Sun/Moon on 3DS. Anyway, what I found funny was a weird split I saw in the comments sections of a few sites. Nintendo haters were mocking and belittling Nintendo fans for just accepting and loving everything Nintendo does, even when it's just cash-grab rereleases... but that didn't make sense to me because most of the comments from the other side was whining and complaining that all they really wanted was a mainline Pokemon game on Switch.

From what I've heard, the multi-pokemon fights were designed with the New 3DS in mind, so they run like crap on classic 3DS's... anyway, my main concern with the idea of a Switch version of Pokemon is the fact that Switches, if I remember correctly, can't connect directly to one another. In order to do multiplayer Switch games, both Switch systems have to connect to the same wi-fi router (similar to LAN gaming). I'm worried that the Pokemon creators are going to be so obsessed with the "fight/trade with anyone, anywhere, any time" appeal of pokemon, that they'll resist releasing it on Switch, since it's still programmed primarily as a home console, even if it is possible to use it as a mobile system

The only real upside is if they finally fix the frame rate on the same, cuz god knows horde encounters were hell to get through.

2017-06-07 03:54:21 +0000 UTCWell, from what I've read the USUM games are going to have a new story, as opposed to an altered version of S&M's story... although just how different remains to be seen. I might be more interested if it's a proper sequel, and we get to see the repercussions of the events of S&M... but I've heard rumors that it's going to be an "alternate universe" story, where it's set in the same timeline, but the events unfold differently.

2017-06-07 03:14:27 +0000 UTCI feel that it was too early to expect a main series Pokemon game for the Switch since it only just came out and Nintendo has stated that they plan to make a successor to the 3DS, but I can understand why people wanted it. S&M suffers from terrible frame rate drops during certain battles when played on a 3DS. I'm disappointed because 1. IDK about Pokken(although I am glad it's being ported, the multiplayer in the Wii U version is way too hard to set up), 2. I don't want to by Gold or Silver, I think I'll wait for Crystal. Besides, I can play Heart Gold on my 3DS, and 3. Not only did we not get any Sinnoh remakes by we are getting the expanded versions of S&M barely a year after they initially released. I can forgive the lack of Sinnoh remakes since the most recent Pokemon games run badly on the 3DS, but I see no reason to buy the exact same game a second time for a slightly expanded story. If it was doing a B2W2 kind of thing, I would be more interested, but as of now, I have no plans to purchase either US or UM.
