Yeah. Why not? Im not sure why they keep avoiding consoles for.

If you expected one this early you're underage

I don't know why anyone would set them up for disappointment like that. Maybe next gen, maybe, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

So pokemons demographic is poor people?

You don't deserve to be pandered to just because you're a retarded early adopter

"expectations" and "hopes" are two different things, silly user.

People who bought the Switch deserve everything they don't get.

Spotted the poorfag

Pokemon's demographic is MAKING FUCKING MONEY. Here's a hot tip: more people have a 3DS than a Switch.

Still. It was entirely predictable to anyone who isn't underage
>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>Nintendo doesn't have any games for the Switch
>Game Freak has a new game in development
>Let's put it on the 3DS, our outdated as fuck handheld, instead of making sure millions more buy the Switch for their pocket monster autism
Why do Nintendo and GF hate money?

No. Anyone who believes one should be is a bandwagoner that wants to play Pokemon without buying a 3DS

I wouldn't call it inexcusable, but it's definitely disappointing.

Eventually sure.
I think it'd be bad idea to release a real Pokemon game on the Switch this early when some people are still having trouble even getting the console.

Lmaoing at all these suckers getting overhyped by unconfirmed rumored that turn it to be false

>Switchfags are still salty
kek

At least those plastic toys worked with old plastic cartridges. This plastic toy doesn't play plastic cartridges from my other plastic toy.

Meh, a mainline pokemon game on the switch this year would have run on an upscaled sun and moon engine.

Didn't pikmin 3 sell like complete and total shit?

Why should they bother if so?

You say like the Switch isn't outdated hardware too.

I can taste the butthurt through my computer screen, holy shit.

It's LESS outdated hardware, and it's better than the 3DS' fucking 240P

Which part of the Switch is outdated?

>REEEEE NINTENDO I BOUGHT A SWITCH WHY AREN'T YOU MAKING POKEMON GAMES FOR IT WHY AREN'T YOU CATERING TO ME, THE UNINFORMED CONSUMER!?

>its ok for a company to continually make poor descisions

Young children, so yes.

Cry. Some. More.

Is everyone here underage? This is exactly what they did with black and white 2. I'm not saying it's smart, but it was predictable

>Forbes

No thanks.

Here, I'll lay out the timeline for you retards.
>October / November 2017: Usumo releases
>January / February 2019: Gen 8 pokemon games announced for Switch
>October/November 2019: Gen 8 pokemon games released for Switch


Though with the ports left and right I wouldn't be surprised if Switch gets Usumo some time in 2018 if Gamefreak lets another dev do the port.

>Pokemon has been on handhelds for the past 20+ years
>GUYS IT NEEDS A SWITCH PORT, IT'S A HYBRID CONSOLE, NOT A HOME CONSOLE, WE SWEAR

I almost feel bad for Switch owners. They got bait and switched so fucking hard. 90% of the games on that thing are multiplats or have Wii U ports.

People, it's been three months since the Switch launched, the 3DS didn't get its Pokémon entry until 2013, calm your tits
Besides, it's pretty much confirmed the Switch will get a mainline entry

They're getting Pokken, at least?

Turn off your adblocker :)))

No. Hopefully Nintendo announces a new handheld that's cheaper

You have to be utterly retarded to think that Nintendo will cannibalize its own platform while not having any competition (VITA LOL)

No. I want Switch owners to suffer for supporting Kimishima. And man is fate delivering well.

This shitty console needs to burn.

Pokemon White 2 released even when the 3DS was already out. The DS also didn't get a mainline Pokemon game for a while, so you got shovelware like Dash and some pretty decent side games like Ranger and Mystery Dungeon for the DS before getting Pearl.
Mainline Pokemon sucks anyway

I feel like now is the best time to get a Wii U, they're dirt cheap now and its not like the Switch is getting anything else for a year.

They really can't blame anyone but themselves. They got this dumb idea in their heads that the Switch would be getting a mainline pokemon this soon, and then started autistically screeching when their headcanon didn't become reality.

>Nintendo is to blame
Quality journalism once again.

>hate money
Hmmm, the millions of 3DS owners versus the small amount of Switch owners.

Not for mobile technology it isn't. Pascal is in testing and prototype stages in terms of implementation for the Tegra, and they haven't gotten it mass producible for a non-ridiculous price yet. Nvidia is working on newer chips all the time, but that doesn't mean those chips are immediately ready to go for the consumer. Tegra X1 is the most powerful, mass producible and readily available mobile chip on the market.

>Get a Wii U so you can buy a console that has all the Wii U games worth getting later.
Buying a Wii U became really stupid when they started announcing these ports and re-releases left and right.

If you can find one for $200 or less its a great deal, especially if you need a machine to play Gamecube and Wii games on.

Are you retarded? There is absolutely no reason to buy a Wii U when all its good games will get ported to the Switch.

>lets talk about a console pokemon game one week before the biggest electronic entertainment show in the fucking world

As a Switch owner that wants a Pokemon game on it eventually I don't feel bad for them, they were retarded to assume they would get something this early just because of a rumor.

But I don't want a Switch.

Sure there is, it's called piracy.

>Buying games

W101 and Xenoblade X aren't coming to the switch, and it don't play Gamecube games either.

Then fuck off and KYS.

>and it don't play Gamecube games either.
Yet.

Why would I do that when Etrian Odyssey V is confirmed for a NA release?

Pokemon is the possibly the worst of all major JRPG series, the plot always hits the same beats, the gameplay has been essentially the same since the first game with some lazy changes, the graphics look outdated, art direction doesn't compensate for the graphics at all, monster design gets worse with every entry and the only good thing it has going for it is the music.
I honestly don't understand how can people still be crazy about this garbage. Guess marketing and brand power really are the only things that matter.

I do not get the complaints Nintendo planned this two years in advance to announce a release date for a fully finished game for the 3DS and now they will focus on Switch. The console is barely out yet and everyone still expects it to be out the next day.

Wii U hardware just plays GC games natively, because it has a Wii built inside of it. It doesn't have to emulate it, and isn't powerful to do so.
Switch isn't powerful enough to emulate GC games.
>B-B-BUT GAMEXPLAIN MADE A SUB-30 FPS EMULATOR ON TEGRA
Don't care, its a downclocked unit and it'll never be able to emulate something like F-Zero GX. Even Dolphin still can't play that game.

They have to be because Nintendo does this with every Pokemon game. Dating back to Pokemon Yellow.

The ENTIRE POINT of the Switch was to merge the best of both consoles.

If they don't do a proper pokemon (no pokemon star pls), they are retarded.

I don't get the Etrian Odyssey meme, it's one of the most bland jrpg systems out there, why do people like it?

Pretty much this. It's too early to judge. Nintendo would not show all their cards too early they would wait until the big event.

There's no vWii on the Switch, which is the only reason the WiiU can mange it. The Switch is not powerful enough to emulate gamecube.

Switch will never have Gamecube games unless its a from the ground up remake of one or two.

>Tell people a month ago that there's nothing in gamefreak's history to suggest they'd rush a switch game out and to not expect one.
>People call me retarded and tell me I don't know anything about how nintendo and gamefreak work.

Feels good.

But that's the point, a mainline Pokémon game would instantly increase the console's value by x1000, I wouldn't hesitate in saying that it alone would be a reason to buy the Switch for many, many people.

>Switch isn't powerful enough to emulate GC games.
You overestimate the requirements of a GC emulator considering every toaster from about 2006 can run dolphin with no issues.
Not to mention Nintendo themselves have access to far more resources than your run of the mill emulator creators.

>GAMEXPLAIN MADE A SUB-30 FPS EMULATOR ON TEGRA
I didn't even know this to be honest but then again if they can jury rig an emulator on the thing then with the right tools it shouldn't be too much hassle.

THIS
GF releasing a mainline pokemon game on the Switch would make it's sales skyrocket, especially if done right.
Which is why Nintendo will never do it, I swear they legitimately hate money

>You overestimate the requirements of a GC emulator considering every toaster from about 2006 can run dolphin with no issues.
Like I said, not every game can be played on Dolphin even now.

>f they can jury rig an emulator on the thing then with the right tools
They didn't run it on Switch, they just ran it on an Nvidia shield, and the Switch is downclocked from a normal unit.

We're people ACTUALLY LEGITIMATELY expecting the next Pokémon game to be on Switch? GF have not once switched consoles mid generation and anyone who expected them to this time are absolute retards. Next year's game will definitely be on Switch since it'll be a new Gen but there was literally a zero percent chance USUM were going to be on Switch.

Swith is sold out everywhere in japan and murrica, releasing a pokemon game at this point would be very stupid, they should wait until the switch sales start falling.

>pay Nintendo just so you can trade and battle online

Yeah, no way.

Gamefreak always takes its time, and it would be frankly dumb for them, personally to sacrifice the extra money THEY would get from these being on 3ds now for NINTENDO to sell systems they already cannot accomodate supply for.

This is not hard business to understand.

>anyone who expected them to this time are absolute retards
Well, pokemon fans are either normalfags or people who suffer from legitimate mental issues.

I agree with that. Nintendo did not put it on WII U or plan to due to how bad it was selling. The Switch is a different story

At this point I think that since so many of the SM leaks were true they just decided to turn their brains off the moment they heard a baseless bullshit rumor about a Switch release.

you say this like the switch is weaker than the gamecube

Where I live Switch is already restocked at GameStop and a few other places. Then again I think it will start selling again after E3. It's on a record pace right now.

Obviously yes and it should come up with a modern take on the gameplay.

Nobody said they couldn't keep supporting the 3DS though, that's just you thinking that.

That's not how emulation works.

>Switch is not powerful enough to emulate GameCube

Yes it is Nvidia X1 is powerful enough to run GameCube and even WII U games.

Are you just pretending to be retarded?

Switch is still a home console so no.

>Nvidia X1 is powerful enough to run WII U games
Lol no it is not.

Gamefreak likes to maximize their profit. It's the core of their business. It's why they NEVER jump to new systems immediately, and why they recycle everything they can over and over and over again.

They stand to make more by offering the product solely on the one platform they already know they will make the most money on vs spending all the money to develop and market a second version on a platform they know they would not stand to make as much money on by far.

Sorry, but that's just business.

Why do you want Nintendo to blow there loads year 1.

There will be 0 games holiday 2018, 2019, 2020 with the way people are demanding games for year 1

>Nvidia X1 is powerful enough to run GameCube
See

The reason for their lackluster support for the company who made Pokemon Go is because they are planning a similar game for the Switch just much better.

if "modern" means open-world, action rpg, or story driven then i'll drop pokemon for good

>game that requires constant mobile network access
>On the switch
>In the US

Yeah, no.

So, mind giving me a quick run through the process of porting an upscaled 3DS Game to the Switch? It surely can't be hard to the point it'd cost tons of money to do, in my head it'd be the opposite, it would give way more money than releasing the game on 1 platform alone (platform that already started to have noticeable troubles to run the latest games, worth adding).

You dont live in a major metro area.

How many people do you think bought a 3DS specifically because of Pokemon? They make all the handheld cost, and rope people into that buying more games in that library by keeping mainline Pokemon locked on their handhelds.

more like story driven, cinematic, open-world, rogue-like, mmorpg, p2w, metroidvania hobby grade, genre-blended, multi-mode competitive e-sports, meta-growth, choice, epic game with extra memes.

This is some nice bait.

Fuck off Randy.

>>B-B-BUT GAMEXPLAIN MADE A SUB-30 FPS EMULATOR ON TEGRA
Yes, a proof of concept ARM emulator that can run games.

Still i dont see Nintendo adding a virtual console.

It's better to release pokemon when the sales have died down a bit, from a business perspective.
Really jump starts them back up again.

Plus there's a chance with Splatoon 2 that Switch will stay sold out in Japan through the holidays this year.

thank god we don't live in that timeline

>How many people do you think bought a 3DS specifically because of Pokemon?
I did it, I got mine for Pokemon X/Y, I tried other games like Zelda and Smash, but I already sold them. In the end my 3DS is just a pokemon machine. In fact I will not get a switch until there are a main pokemon.

The next games will be on the Switch. GF has two teams. A team and B team. A works on the first games in a generation. B works on the second. Once A finishes the first games in a generation and they are released, usually even before release they begin work on the next generation. They are working on generation 8 right now. It's extremely likely it will be on the Switch and we'll see it next year at the earliest, 2020 at the latest. This is how things have always been with Pokemon.
