Save data for switch games is stored on the switch itself. Does this ruin any possibility of a main series Pokémon game on the switch? Discuss.

Why would it?
Next gen you'll have to buy pokebank to save your game anyways

>wanting mainline Pokemon on the Switch at all

I pretty much agree. The Switch is a nice console but I prefer my Pokémon games to be more portable. The 3DS is light and compact, the Switch is...Kind of big, and you need a carrying case to avoid damaging the controllers.
>>31992426
you're a fucking retard, there's nothing to discuss
>>31992443
Yeah, I don't get the issue?

You would be able to let a friend play through the game or even replay the game yourself without you losing all your progress and event items. There's a reason they prevent you from trading your Snoralium/Mewnium.

>replay the game yourself
Yeah but you'd have to have another switch, wouldn't you?
>>31992500
Also, if it's that big of a deal, then theoretically wouldn't it hurt every game and not just Pokémon?
>>31992506
Most games use multiple save slots though.
That said, this may even be easier, since you can probably back up your save on your PC and then start a new game, no? May not be possible out of the box but with homebrew definitely.
>gen 8 comes out
>not developed by GF
>no longer able to transfer your pokemon across
>basically a reboot
>battle system no longer turn based
>more action oriented with qte basically a roaming fighter

The switch isn't big at all. It can literally fit in my pants' pockets. The controllers are more annoying, but if you have a jacket on you can just have them in those pockets.
>>31992500
Wouldn't save data be account locked, in which case creating a new account should suffice for starting a new game
>>31992583
How fucking huge are your pants? It's almost 25 centimeters in length. My phone is 10cm shorter and barely fits. I wear standard jeans by the way.
>>31992628
>>31992641
Half the fucking thing is out of your pocket. That can't be safe.
>>31992646
Not everything's safe when you're living on the edge

>action pokemon
You might be joshing here but a Pokemon that plays like Nights of Azure with more depth would be awesome.
+Selection of main pokemon you can play as
+Selection of AI assist Pokemon that you can give orders to
+Superbosses from all the regions
I guess it's more of a spin-off idea than a mainline though
>>31992641
I hope you put a screen protector on that.
>>31992641
Why would you keep it in your pocket in the first place? Don't tell me you walk around like that in public.
>>31992628
>My phone is 10cm shorter and barely fits. I wear standard jeans by the way.
You're wearing skinny jeans dude. Phones should fit with room to spare.
>>31992641
This console was made for idiots like you. I don't give you a year before that gets broken or stolen.
>>31992641
Where the fuck are you?
>>31992646
>>31992628
i can easliy fit a 1L cola bottle in my pockets. fking gays with their skinny jeans
>>31992741
You have to admire the irony here.
>>31992641
>joycons still on
You know if you're going to make a point at least do it right
>>31992489
You can replay the game with a different user. Each user has their own savefiles. It's not console-bound or cartridge.bound, but account-bound.
