Pokemon Stars might be the code name for a direct port of SM for the Switch

It´s all speculation for now. No new game confirmed.

it's a codename fucker, just like Sun and Moon were Rainbow.

it will likely be Solar Eclipse and Lunar Eclipse or Radiant Sun and Full Moon

>>30014049
This. THANK YOU NINTENDO.

>>30013067
they know SUN is a start right?

should be pokemon meteorite
Pokemon blackhole

Pokemon Supernova

>>30014135
You think gamefreak honestly gives a fuck about real science? They barely know how to program.

>>30014105
It could also just be Stars, I don't see why it fucking matters either way, it's just a name.

>>30014154
hey they finaly learned to open the fucking PC whitout usuless shit

>>30014156
I'm sure it'll be another set of two games instead of a third version. Those have always historically sold the least to an extreme degree, and doing so on a new platform the world knows next to nothing about would be digging their own grave

searching for patterns ended with Gen 5 when we got fucking two generations on a single system and a pair of direct SEQUELS to a game.

It's a mainline pokemon game it'll sell well regardless, espically if its near launch.it could be a third version, it could be sequels, or it could just be ports, theres no precedent for this so who really cares until we get actual info.

Will they fix this or be lazy?

It's going to be B2W2 all over again

It's quite obvious that the 4DS will be out in 2018 and just like B2W2 with the 3DS it can run those games far smoother than a regular 3DS

Did I miss something?

>>30014350
the switch is their next handhold platform.

they decided it was a waste of resources to develop for two platforms.

>>30013067
IF this rumor is true.

When Nintendo and Rumors are concerned a lot of shit feels more like wishful thinking more than inside information.

Remaining cautious until someone releases a statement.

>>30014350
Why in the fuck would they make a sequel to the 3DS when the Switch is going to replace both console and handheld? They didnt just combine their divisions permanately for show.

You'd have to have the camera farther away if it was the same size as in coliseum.

And on the 3ds' small, low-res screen, this means that you wouldn't be able to see any of the other Pokemon battling.

Sun and Moon are shit in a lot of ways, but this is understandable imo.

>>30014628
The moon is obviously cheese. How ignorant can you be?

>>30014860
do you really think the incredible third-party support the DS and 3DS will make the move to making games for the Switch when it doesn't have the limitations or gimmicky hardware like a microphone, camera, touch screen, etc that made their games flourish in the first place

do you honestly think they have the capability or even desire to have to make a 60 dollar product from now on. do you REALLY think nintendo would throw that support away. all the switch has to offer is raw graphical power, something these developers are not willing to put the extra effort into when they could instead make their niche titles

>>30014672
The platform still has a touch screen and likely a touch pad area for that center thing.

All the shit in the 2nd screen could just be relegated to the extra pixels onscreen.

>>30014656
>tfw they will never show Guzzlord and Celesteela in actual scale.

Wow, I'm surprised this got out so early. I thought they would wait until after Holiday Season to maximize 3DS sales. Looks like they do have a little integrity left, heh...

>>30013659
にじ means rainbow. You need sun and rain for a rainbow.

Finally they decided that a similar concept was already used by Groudon, Kyogre and Rayquaza. So they only kept the red sun and added the blue moon, because it fitted very well.

>>30014948
Yes because they never really utilized those in the first place. The second screen? a glorified inventory screen or map screen. can be easily reintegrated back to the main screen. voice? microphone? Same deal. no one ever actually used them. Games were a success on a ds and a 3ds despite the gimmicks not because of them. and they have a new gimmick with the removable controller dongles.

As to your second point, given the fact that AAA games are now going up to 80 bucks, 60 is the new 40 for handheld games. Also, having a digital store now allows them to be more robust in pricing. indie games and niche games can charge whatever they want digitally.

Nintendo ain't throwing away their handheld line. If anything its the opposite and they're throwing away their console line and forcing all their console devs to move to a handheld device.

>>30013067
Cosmoem will get a good movepool with Trick Room, Pain Split and other stuff to make it usable with Eviolite. It will be the cover legend of Pokémon Stars.

where the fuck was this announced

Haven't gotten either version yet, but if there's Tutors and shit on Stars, then consider me sold on Switch because without friends that's LITERALLY the only way to keep up with Competitive.

I wonder if a mainline pokemon game for the Switch will have multiple saves

It makes about as much sense as Crystal or Platinum completing a precious metals and gem duo.

>post yfw Anons theorizing SM on Switch by combining the Top HUD and Bottom Menu were right

>>30016191
no mainline pokemon game ever will. it inherently defeats the purpose and point of the games, and destroys how the entire game's concepts function. collection and trading now pointless, rarity not an issue. what you want is a game that is Not Pokemon. as long as it's pokemon though, it stays one file, and to think more than one is a good idea is to be retarded.

Lunar Eclipse and Solar Eclipse

>>30015291

>>30015968
>you have to buy an entire system to go with it

Well honestly it's about time we get rid of the 3DS, it's really been holding the games back. They even had to remove triple battles because the console can't handle them. I'm not really looking forward to the waste of money but god damn it's about time we get rid of the 240p handheld.

If Stars is indeed a singular third version I have no idea how they can modify the main plot. If the datamine about Lycanroc is correct they will have use eclipse as a plot point.

>>30015968
So exactly like the switch from DS to 3DS? I got a lot of mileage from my 3DS and not only from pokemon so it's alright.

Can anyone explain me about this shit? What is this Star stuff?

>>30016339
probably get some of sun and moon version exclusives. same dex, but easier to fill. just a guess

>>30014926
you could have it "zoomed in" with wailord's face taking up the screen and your pokemon in front

>>30015003

>>30014628
The moon is a giant satellite.

Well it makes perfect sense from a business stand point. Getting a main line Pokemon game on the Switch asap should be a big priority for Nintendo if they actually want to sell the console.

Sun and Moon's codename was Rainbow for reference.

>>30016703
It sold on a successful system. Things change.

I can see several reasons why they are doing this.
1) They want Switch to sell well during its first year and don't want to wait for their cashcow franchise to pop up too late;
2) GameFreak needs to learn how to make HD games. It's better for them to fuck up this one than having severe technical difficulties during Gen 8 that might delay the game.

The sun is a star. wtf, Gamefreak?

Either way, Wailord can't realistically be battling out of water

>>30016820
Sun/Moon look great on Citra already. They wouldn't need to change a lot of things to make it an HD port.
