Switch's lack of dual screen

>>30628750
Dual screen is dumb.

Lmao there isn't going to bee a main game in switch.
What are you smoking?

More things on a single screen.

>>30628788
Stars is most definitely going to be on the Switch.

Gen 8 being on the Switch depends on how well the Switch sells though.

>>30628788
>Lmao there isn't going to bee a main game in nintendo's next big handheld

>>30628750
The main Pokemon games never made effective use of touch-screen features (I mean really what is there? Dragging buttons around and petting in Amie?), and all the menus on the second screen aren't really important, since they lock gameplay on the top regardless. The only useful thing you can do on the bottom is show a map, honestly, which SM is what, the first game to do?

>>30628815
No it isn't.
Sun and Moon will look really bad in switch,have you look to the game?

the overworld will look horribly bad in Switch and how bad desinged it is.

>>30628824
Selecting attacks/items is a lot faster on the touch screen.

button opens second screen (which in gen VII is just a menu anyway...)(

>>30628848
I honestly still never do this out of fear of misclicking.

>>30628847
Okay first of all your grammar is atrocious.

Second of all gee whiz it's not like Game Freak's ever remade a region with better graphics before, right?

>>30628870
>He believes in rumours without any proof
>Ok,dude?
Anyway,if this game comes in switch in needs a totally diferent overworld,because it's just way to outdated.

Mostly just made the main screen look less cluttered. Don't want Pokemon becoming like pic related because I doubt Game Freak will leave options in to turn most of the shit off.

I don't understand why everyone is assuming Nintendo is dropping the handheld line.
It's their bread and butter. Plus, they've made some inexplicable decisions recently, but why on earth would you bet it all on an experimental console when your last one just failed miserably?
It's not going to hurt sales of the Switch to develop a separate 3DS successor just in case. What do they even get out of dropping the handheld line?

I would totally like a pokemon game with picrelated overworld than just a linear route.

GEN 8 should have this overworld if they're doing it fot a home console.

>>30628947
>dude they should make an open world pokemon game lmao

yeah you're the 1000000000th retard to suggest it

let me guess, you also think they should make a pokemon game with all regions?

>>30628750
The Switch's screen is several times the size of the 3DS screen. Finding real estate on a screen that big won't be an issue. And dual screens has only been a thing for half of Pokemon's history. They managed just fine before the DS came along.
>>30628788
The Switch is a handheld that comes with a free dock to play games on your TV, and Nintendo merged their handheld and console divisions into one. Stop being willfully retarded.

>>30628932

>I don't understand why everyone is assuming Nintendo is dropping the handheld line.

the switch IS handheld, you autistic spazmotron.

how can you not see that?

It could look fine depending on how they handle it

>>30628932
The thing is that the Switch covers both the home and handheld division. Yes it's a risky bet but it's not the first time that Nintendo has done gambles like this.

>>30628932
>dropping the handheld line.
They're literally not, Switch IS their new handheld.

>>30628932
They make good handhelds, and their home consoles have been struggling recently. So why not make a handheld, that can also be used as a traditional console? Makes perfect sense to me.

>>30628966
Yes.

>>30628966
No i don't.
Also,how the fuck is wanting a game to have a decent overworld with pokemon walking there and doing ttheir life and inmersive towns that aren't just 2 houses retarded?

Like seriously,how the fuck anyone wold prefer a linear overwolrd?

>>30629044
I'm not saying there's nothing wrong with wanting it, but you're preaching to the choir.

Yeah no fucking shit everyone wants that. You're not the only bumblefuck to suggest it.

>>30628932
They'll just pull the same thing they did with the DS: see if it catches the handheld market, and if it doesn't then just release a new DS.

Just add a configurable Quick Select menu for the battle screen

>Hold L/R button at main screen

>Instant access to Attacks/Items/Pokeballs/etc. on face buttons and D-Pad

I think they may handle it by bringing up the second screen by tapping L or R two times, or how the adjustments screen can be brought up on the iPhone, it would be interesting to see how they implement it though.

>Sun and Moon will look really bad in switch
Have YOU seen the game? Specifically, running in 1080p on citra. Because the game is actually really high res, and just scaled down for the 3DS screen. The game is practically already designed to run on switch in HD.

>>30629668
Yeah I travel around in Airplanes and at Basketball Courts with an entire PS4 and PSVita

>>30628909
UH YEAH
UH UH UH YEAH
This game was such a huge disappointment

Switch's screen is bigger and has more pixels than both screens in 3DS combined. I'm sure they cook something up.

that's clearly not colloseum or gale of darkness, and I doubt BR would be a step back.

so I'm guessing that's a shot from Stadium, which is stupidly old, and not relevant.

>>30628750
Barely different

Most of the games use the bottom screen for fuck all.

Hoping for Persona 5-esque battle UI.

>>30629402
There's still some space on the bottom right. At least a tab for it is likely to go there, if anywhere.

>>30629668
I agree, I always carry a backpack with a PS4 and a portable nuclear power source around to play my PS4 games on the go.

You massive fucking idiot. People who cannot tell the Switch exists to merge their system lines into one due to the failure of the Wii U and the overall decline in home system popularity in Japan are likely very autistic at this point.

Alternatively, the menu could be tied to the start or select buttons.

>>30630251
Speaking of those buttons, why do the Start and Select buttons function exactly the same in 99% of 3DS games?

>>30630130
Why else would you go to other regions? Later games make accomodations so that you don't have to do that in order to catch something not normally found in-game.

At that point just have more facilities or bring back Entralink.

>>30630369
Gyms, catching pokemon, and travelling through regions are huge parts of the pokemon experience, fucko.

Nintendo doesn't even give you a free charger.

>>30630287
Because they're in essentially the same position. But while Start is usually used to bring up the pause menu, Select is usually used to bring up options.

Are you such a 'tard you think the dock will cost extra?

>>30630688
Not him, but it HAS been said that the dock will increase performance to the system.

They have to make do with however the UI will be. Discuss and plan. But how, I'm not sure how.

Mainline games aside, how likely is it we'll get an action/adventure game in the line of those Pokepark games?

>>30630718
Of course, just like the main Wii U system increases the performance of the game when switching from the gamepad to the TV.
That doesn't mean that it will be bought seperately, its supposed to be a home console as much as it is a portable one.

>>30628824
>petting in Amie
I swear to fuck, if moving to the Switch means that future games don't have Amie/Refresh, I'm going to shitpost like there's no tomorrow.

>>30630789
But the gamepad is just a controller to the main CPU. The main CPU of the Switch is the mobile system itself.

The home console dock is not needed for the Switch to run on its own.

>>30628750
It's going to be a real challenge designing a pokemon game for a single screen. This has never been done before and I don't think it would work. It would be great if we had single screen pokemon games to compare to dual screens.

>>30628750

pokemon was fine before dual screens and it'll be fine after dual screens

oh yes I am totally going to miss the completely fucking useless rotom map on the bottom screen which is 33% rotom's stupid fuck eyes covering it

>How do you guys think the future games are going to be designed like with the Switch's absence of a dual screen?
Like they used to be designed before the DS?

What kind of question is even this?

>>30630718
But that's wrong. That was an early rumor that Nintendo has already debunked, saying the dock is just a dock. All it does is connect the handheld to the TV, and that's to make sure the performance from console play to handheld play is a seamless transition.

>>30630873
The Switch has a touch screen, it would be exactly the same.

>>30631567
Multi-touch, so there will probably be MORE features like those.

Yup, totally unrelated.

>>30632363
Not him, but what if a Stadium-like game that was focused entirely on battles a la PBR was released alongside Stars? I mean, if people wanted to have multiplayer battles that could easily be seen by everyone in the room, that could be a thing.

so pokemon refresh gone or will it be stick controlled?
