Gen 4 remakes will be on 3DS
They will be out holidays 2017
GameFreak won't support the Switch until like 2 years after it launches.
Gen 8 will launch on Switch in 2019
There won't be any DPPt remakes on the 3DS. It's a literal waste of time and effort.

Series can't be on hiatus for too long. 2 year tops is the maximum between releases (ORAS-SM)
It's either what I said or hopefully DP remakes by 2018 on Switch
>DP remakes not 5 years after ORAS, like how ORAS was five years after HGSS and HGSS 5 years after FRLG
>>29942567
Solar Eclipse and Lunar Eclipse
>>29942496
Sinnoh is too large a region for a 3DS game similar to SM
>>29942496
I hope gen 8 is here by early 2018 on the Nintendo switch
2017: Enhanced port of Sun & Moon for the Switch (a glorified third version that gets a pass because it's on the Switch)
2019: Sinnoh remakes
They will make new Pokemon title for Switch.
And probably an original title, not remake of Sinnoh; which I do believe will happen on 3DS
>>29942926
Nope.
Masuda said they want to release games on a console with a lot of players.
They want to release Pokemon on it once the Switch has a large enough userbase. Meanwhile, they're sticking to 3DS

The Diamond/Pearl remake will be on 3DS where people are comfortable with that format.
A new game will be on Switch, they have confirmed it I know.
>>29943068
man I'm just tired of 240p Pokemon with framedrops when there are more than 3 Pokemon on screen.
>>29943217
Hopefully Switch can have a Go type game :3
>yfw GF is working on the remakes right now
>>29942496
Sounds probable enough
>>29942539
Remakes are low effort compared to regular games.
Though third versions are even lower effort.
We'll see.
>>29942496
>yfw you realize sinnoh is old enough to warrant the question of a remake
all you people are idiots. why the fuck would they remake sinnoh for the 3ds when you can literally play the original games on the same console? the whole point of a remake was to play games you couldn't play normally. granted, they did remake gen 1 on the gba which could also play gen 1 games, but its never been like that after. hgss and oras both don't allow you to play the original on the console.
>>29943590
>inb4 they've been working on it longer than SM
>unironically believing the main games will be made for switch
>>29943990
Why wouldn't they?
GF hasn't started a gen with a remake.
Gen 3 had RS before FR
Gen 4 had DP before HGSS
Gen 6 had XY before ORAS
Gen 7 will have DP remakes and then Gen 8 witll be the next main titles on Switch
>>29944032
because the switch is a wii u replacement, not a portable handheld console like every other device the mainline games have been on
>>29944185
>not a portable handheld console
lol ok
No remakes this gen, SM2 instead for 3DS next year.
Then a 2 year hiatus and gen 8 will be on Switch in 2019 as planned.
>>29944185
The switch is the successor for both the wiiu and 3ds. The wiiu sold like shit and 3ds sold strongly. The switch is their way of bringing in their robust portable user base to consoles. That was the whole point for the switch.
>>29942591
>believing patterns mean something
>>29944256
The 3DS needs a successor. The Switch is covering that, while also trying to kill the Wii U failure.
Nintendo has quietly retired from the home console market and now it's focusing on a handheld they're marketing as "home console"
I think it's the perfect outcome, anyway. A whole company dedicated to one system. Means more games, less droughts.
>>29944218
God that's so poorly edited onto the screen lol
>people actually expecting remakes this gen
It's going to be like Gen 5 and have no remakes.
>>29944416
I honestly genuinely hope so, I would love if they left the D/P/PT remakes for the Switch
>>29942496
>it'll be like ORAS and won't have Battle Frontier since it's a Platinum thing.
>>29944218
>>29944256
>can't even fit in your pocket
>portable
LOL
>>29944460
They will because we only get one set of remakes per system.
>FRLG for GBA
>HGSS for DS
>ORAS for 3DS
>>29944516
What is the 3DS XL
>>29944516
>clearly smaller than a 3DS XL
>3DS XL easily fits in a pocket
le fish hook meme
>>29944516
Who the fuck carries their handheld on their pockets?
Don't you have a bag or backpack?
Or better yet in your inner coat/jacket pocket.
It's uncomfortable as fuck to stick even an o3DS in your pants pockets.
>>29944566
this, you'd carry it like this, or however the fuck people carried PSP's and PS Vitas since it's basically the same thing
>>29942767
not gonna happen until early 2019 being optimistic
>>29944379
yeap, monster hunter + pokemon + fire emblem makes easily 10 millions console sales for the switch
