The annoucement of Pokemon Ultrasun and Ultramoon pretty much confirms that they will be the last Pokemon and relevant games the 3DS will get. From 2018 onwards, the Switch will replace it and become the only Nintendo console
>>379278105
>Gen 7's trash won't taint the Switch
Good
Nah gen 8 will come to 4ds. Maybe if we're lucky it'll be 360p
>>379278105
New pokken for switch, the old gold and silver on 3ds.
>>379278105
I guess. I mean, looking back at how B/W2 skipped the 3DS and then X/Y came along, it seems like we'll be getting a new generation in 2018.
Good luck to Game Freak, though. Gotta remodel and texture, what, 600 pokemon?
Platinum was the last good Pokemon game.
>Switch is the successor of the 3DS confirmed
[citation needed]
Nintendo will drop the Switch if it needs to.
The DS line will continue when theres still demand for it.
>>379278105
so has Pokemon moved on from stealing from Digimon?
>>379278445
3DS sales have been slowing down for quite some time now while the Switch is still out of stock. The only reason Nintendo wants to keep the 3DS alive is to ensure there's a smooth transition until the Switch's manufacturing issues are resolved.
>>379278345
I wonder how will those lazy fucks do it
>>379278445
The 3DS is the handheld with worst sales Nintendo has ever had. With mobile phones and the Switch having portable capabilities is pretty obvious they are done with it
>>379278345
>Gotta remodel and texture, what, 600 pokemon?
They already did that with the 3DS, that's why the games run like ass.
>>379279272
>Switch having portable capabilities
Yeah, it's port-able, which you can just port games to it.
>>379279272
>The 3DS is the handheld with worst sales Nintendo has ever had
>>379278816
>3DS sales have been slowing down for quite some time now while the Switch is still out of stock
Doesnt explain why the 3DS is still getting games, just got a new iteration of the 2DS and has Monster Hunter and Pokemon US/UM coming for it, its biggest franchises to own a nintendo portable for.
>>379278345
No they won't.
GF's models are absurdly high poly, which is one of the reasons for lag when multiple Pokemon are on the screen. They won't remodel them considering that they use the same models for everything. The GO models are identical to the in game models.
>>379279773
>just got a new iteration of the 2DS
Just like the GBA did with the Micro
>Monster Hunter and Pokemon US/UM coming for it
So? There is a MH port coming to the Switch and Pokemon Balck/White 2 came out for the DS when the 3DS was already on the market.
This is it for the 3DS and handheld consoles
>>379278528
You mean Mega evolutions werent enough proof for you
>>379280084
>This is it for the 3DS and handheld consoles
logistically it is impossible for something with 3 hours battery life to take the crown of handheld culture in Japan
if you disagree then you are ignorant
>>379280791
That's why Smartphones are a thing anon. But ok, keep thinking that Handhelds will stay relevant after this Gen, go on.
>>379278105
But the Switch already has a lot of great games!

Its ok when nintendo does it
>>379279459
Big difference between 240p and 1080p 2bh
I just bought 3ds moon off a dumb kid for $5
>>379279272
Yeah, they're so done with the 3DS that they've got a new mainline Pokemon game coming out for it, on top of a revised New 3DS that'll have two new 1st party titles launching beside it.
>>379283494
Same thing happened with the DS when the 3DS was already out. It is the same now with the 3DS but with the Switch as the replacement
>>379283702
Did the DS and 3DS get a big 1st party title that dropped simultaneously for both systems?
>>379283948
You mean a Spin-Off? The people behind FE already said Shadows of Valentia is the last FE main line game for the 3DS. It's over so now go buy your Switch or get a smartphone
>>379284243
How does that prove that the Switch is a 3DS replacement? Nothing is pointing at that being even a possibility. There's more evidence for the contrary. It's still getting its support this year and perhaps into the next, and Nintendo themselves clarify not to consider the Switch a portable and that a 3DS successor has yet to come. Also, I already own a Switch dingus.
>>379284840
>Nintendo themselves clarify not to consider the Switch a portable and that a 3DS successor has yet to come
They said they would consider it but no that they are planning on making a new handheld
>There's more evidence for the contrary.
It's the complete opposite
>>379285161
There's zero evidence that the Switch is the 3DS successor. Nintendo have outright said it isn't.
>>379278105
>See those 2 designs
>Holy shit that looks like hot garbage this has to be fak-
>See trailer
>It's real
What the fuck? Why did they have to ruin Lunaala and Solgaleo like that?
>>379278323
>4ds
>a transdimensional console
>>379285420
>Nintendo have outright said it isn't.
Isn't this the third time they have said that? You should know by now how they are
>>379285420
They have also said that the DS line won't replace the game boy line
>>379281607
game freak =/= nintendo
you mong
I mean it's still wrong but holy shit
fuckin leddit tier
>>379278816
>Switch is still out of stock.
Nintendo's usual tactic. They've done this with their previous consoles. Even the fucking Wii U was sold out for quite some time. Don't be naive.
>>379278528
>copied digimon Mega evolutions
>copied Yokai Watch's watch and dance
>Now copies Zoids
how can pokefags continue to defend it?
>>379280791
you do know that the Switch has a comparable battery life, don't you?
>>379281052
>smartphones
>video games
sure, if shovelware free-to-play shit and overpriced ports of 20 year old games count.
>>379285653
I believe they also said that the GBA wouldn't replace the GB(C).
They're never going to admit they're killing off their old system, especially seeing how that killed Sega.
>>379281259
Ultra's selling point is the same location, different story, so who knows, they might actually open these areas up.
>>379278105
>From 2018 onwards, the Switch will replace it and become the only Nintendo console
lol no
>Different storyline
>new pokemon
Too bad about that gameplay though. Got pretty boring fast.
>>379285572
Goddamn Nintendo and their warping of space-time gimmicks.
>>379281145
That feature none of those!
We're likely not going to see I mainline Pokemon release on Switch until they numbers are there to support it. Took nearly 3 years for the 3DS to get Pokemon games.
>>379285896

nani
>>379281259
Yeah that is what I am thinking. Those bastards rushed SM because of the pokemon anniversary and decided to now re release the game with all the shit already in the game. Fuck them pokemon is dead.
>>379285896
Nostalfags are inmortal.
>>379287641
It's not dead, yet. Nintendo said Nintendo said it will still be getting shit through out 2018, then they will fully change into New 3DS.
>alternate story
What did they mean by this?
>>379287537
anon, not him but read OP again
>>379278445
Second hand ports and budget titles for the rest of its days.
>>379278105
>nintendo is releasing the New 2DS XL... THIS YEAR
>switch is replacing the 3ds family
kek
>>379288202
See
>>379287813
There are a bunch of areas in the game that were just closed off. You can get to them by hacking and they were part of the game but it was rushed to meet the anniversary. They are pretty much making the same game with those and a few other changes. I would hope they would have an actual postgame and a decent PSS for online but I have given up on them years ago.
>>379286750
Wooooosh
>>379281145
what? when they announce those games?
>>379285653
That's not evidence of anything.
I'll take Nintendos words over "TRUST ME YOU GUISE".
>>379285653
>implying it did
the ds was released in 04
the last gba game was released after the ds lite, in 2007
>mfw kanto is in the game
>mfw when genwunner
>mfw the butthurt it causes
Gen 1 best suck it fags
>buy our game again
>buy our game again
>buy our game AGAIN again
Seriously, it's like gamefreak just took a year off and are like "Well, still give us the 40 dollars, though." like they're a fuckin' subscription service.
>ultrasun and ultramoon
Those are some pretty shitty names, did they hire a five year old to come up with them?
>>379287537
>g
spot the american
>>379288916
if kanto isn't in this game, I see no point in buying. The MC needs to go after Lily and marry her.
>>379289070
You have to think in a Japanese mindset. Some chink came up with that name thinking it sounds cool, yet they can hardly pronounce the word themselves.
>>379287641
3DS won't have a third generation of pokemon. GF is done with the 3DS
>>379288424
Same thing that happened with the Wii Mini and GBA Micro retard
>>379288549
>That's not evidence of anything.
This denial
