Pick one.

>>32302520
Anon, tell me how the Switch ISN'T a handheld.

>>32302520
Yeah, they're clearly going to keep producing for the 3DS for at least the next two years, especially when the Switch sales are good.
I'm sure that the fact that some games that are more portable than console games like FE and Xenoblade being on the Switch is just a coincidence.

>I'm sure that the fact that some games that are more portable than console games like FE and Xenoblade being on the Switch is just a coincidence.

>Xenoblade
Excuse me?

>>32302531
switch is handheld but no as tradiotional handheld as 3DS

>>32302531
if it is a handheld, it's a bad one with no battery life and awful ergonomics.

>>32302541
FE had both handheld and console releases over the franchise. Xenoblade started on the console and nintendo ported it to 3DS for sales.
>>32302531
The switch's slight portability is Nintendo's way of selling their new console. The switch can never compare to the 3DS in terms of carrying it around.
>>32302565
^ This anon gets it.

>>32302469
What would they make the next Pokemon games on other than Switch?

>>32302605
What is the 3DS one of the best selling consoles of all time?

>>32302605
3DS?
all new HDS?

>>32302562
Yeah, I agree that one game is not enough to make that statement, my bad.
>>32302587
With you, however, no. Fire Emblem gives much more importance to handhelds than consoles.

>>32302615
and also 6 years old. Pokemon would sell the Switch. The longer they wait to put Pokemon on it is a worse move on their part.

>>32302444
Which is why they are on the switch in that pic..

>>32302639
Yeah I know Fire emblem is mostly a handheld series but we cant forget about the few times Nintendo did have console fire emblems.

>>32302633
>>32302615
The 3DS is full of limitations and they already pushed it to its max with SM and if there really is a new handheld, it won't be out before the games are released.

>>32302442
I'm all for making the pixies not be the worst trio but holy shit is that ugly what is even going on there.

>>32302645
The 3DS has had a long lifespan and Nintendo expanded it with the "New" 3DS. Regardless they will continue to make new handheld systems under the DS clam shell design.
>>32302656
We don't even know when the inevitable sinnoh remakes will come out...they could launch with a new handheld or come out in a year or so on switch....but nintendo will never abandon the DS its one of there best platforms.

>>32302650
That's true. For now I guess I'll just keep with an open mind to both of the possibilities they have.

>>32302541
two years my ass, the Switch is selling beyond expectation and has higher cash return than the 3DS, the 3DS won't make past 2017
hell, even this year plans for 3DS are just a contingency plan in case the Switch bombed, which did not
They can have all their IPs in one place for a higher price, that's the main point of the switch, at this stage thinking that pokemon won't move to the switch is just delusional

>>32302733
Maybe I didn't make myself clear. The switch can never achieve the portability the DS line had. Whether Nintendo makes a new handheld entirley or a new DS they wont abandon the handheld market by just sticking with the switch which is primarily a console.

>>32302656
>The 3DS is full of limitations and they already pushed it to its max with SM
No.
No they didn't. What GF did is forget to optimize the models and left them with more polys than most console games. Hell Mario is in the 5000 range for 3D World and something like Volcanion is around 10000. On top of that they removed features that had no reason to be removed.

Don't mistake developer incompetence for pushing the limits.

>>32302578
it literally has the same battery life as the 3ds you tremendous nigger

>>32302842
Word of advice don't reply to someone that has no idea what ergonomics means.

>>32302799
>it can be carried around
>it is an handled

It's that simple you stupid fuck. Do you think that Nintendo cares about dimension and comfortability in the 6inches phones world?
How fucking thick can a single person be without bordering on proper disease?
The Switch was made from the start with a single purpose: selling all of Nintendo IPs in one place for a fully 60$ dollars. They're not going to water down their profits when new mainline Zelda, Mario, Pokémon and Animal Crossing in one place are enough to guarantee that the Switch will be a success. Nintendo is a company, not a bunch of fans in circlejerk over the internet, they need to make money first and foremost. Having another console, especially an handheld one makes no fucking sense on any business standpoint. They kept the 3DS around just as a contingency plans, but even that is going to kick the bucket soon, especially since they've figured out that the remix line can sell like hotcakes to the lower price brackets.

>be dumb enough to buy a console on launch
>swear up and down it replaced 3DS to justify your $300 BOTW machine purchase
>despite the fact 3DS is still having games releasing and being announced

Swtichfags are so annoying. 3DS will be phased out eventually, but it still has an easy two years of life left at minimum. Hell, you even have games like Fire Emblem Musou that will be multiplat on both Switch and 3DS. Nintendo isn't ready to abandon it just yet.

Don't forget about the Nintendo Direct tomorrow that supposedly has Switch and 3DS games.

>>32303632
It's being colored and retranslated right now since the first translations were shit. Volume 6 was released today, probably gonna take some time till they finish it. It's probably more likely for the anime adaptation to be announced before they are finished coloring and retranslating all the chapters.

>>32302668
The first thing that I thought when I saw it

>>32303608
You do know that there were PS3 games being released late last year, right?

>>32304773
And there are still PS3 games being released now. What's your point?

>>32305046
So 3DS games still being anounced 1 month after the Switch's release doesn't mean that the Switch isn't intended to replace the 3DS. Unless you think the PS4 wasn't meant to replace the PS3.

>>32305058
>missing the point this hard

Just hang yourself desu senpai.

>b-but Sony!
Sony aren't Nintendo and they are completely irrelevant to this discussion. Switch replaced the Wii U and Nintendo dropped support effective immediately after BOTW. Meanwhile 3DS is still going strong with support still coming in and no signs of stopping other than idiots making assumptions and claims that go against Nintendo's own words. It's speculation, plain and simple. Compared to the actual confirmation we have that the 3DS still has years of support left. While it's certainly possible that the Switch will replace the 3DS down the road, it's not something happening any time soon.

tl;dr
Switch is an immediate replacement for the Wii U.
Switch is NOT an immediate replacement for the 3DS, but could potentially phase it out in the coming years. And you are fucking retarded if you think we won't get any new Pokemon games within that timeframe.

Oh, so you either
A) Made assumptions in your post that you didn't imply

Good to know.

I like Sinnoh and all, but Kanto remakes next makes more sense.

>>32305540
>more kanto shit
oh god pleaso no

>>32302799
They'll just release a smaller model later. There's no need for an entirely different handheld just for that.

And we know GameFreak is hiring for an HD game in a worldwide popular series, so it's clear Pokemon is moving to Switch.

Now, this remake is another matter. Even if the next game is a remake for the Switch, it'd likely still be stuck on the Sun & Moon engine, so they might as well release it for the 3ds, unless Nintendo is really forcing them to change consoles quickly.

>>32305338
Look at the DS -> 3DS transition though. The Wii U was dropped like dead weight because it was dead weight. Nintendo's handheld transitions aren't like that.

They better have this theme in for the festival plaza.

and FRLG

these daily sinnohfetus remakefagging threads are getting fucking annoying.

>>32305949
agreed.

>>32305935
Also, you know, that FRLG came before DP and is the only generation not playable on the 3DS.

The only way I can see Kanto remakes not happening is if Gamefreak goes the extra mile and does a Kanto/Alola SM2. But if they did that there's no way they wouldn't put the assets to use on a remake for easy genwunner money.

>>32305540
I was seriously 100% with you, not just because it was what I wanted, but because it seemed to be what GF was building up to with various hints here and there. But then that big Kanto reboot movie... apparently completely re-imagines Kanto into something new entirely. So im not too sure GF is on the same Gen 1 hype train we are.

>>32305885

Please GF just bring back how it was in Platinum, and bring back Wifi Plaza and make it real time

>>32305540
Kanto has been in four generations in a row, what makes you think it'll be in a generation a fifth time?

>>32306967
What?

>>32305540
Not really, considering they just recently re-released the Gen 1 games on VC. They usually divide up the Pokemon so that in order to obtain them you'll probably get both installments in a generation (see Gen 6). Releasing a game with a bunch of Pokemon you already have (and with their hidden abilities) is a business move too tarded for even GF to make. They're much more likely to continue the pattern they've been following for some time now, a pattern that was only interrupted once.

>>32305991
But Kanto IS playable on the 3DS.

As for the Switch talk:

The games being on the Switch seems unlikely to me for multiple reasons. Mostly because they're continuing the support for the 3DS, indicating to me that ultimately the Switch is intended to replace the Wii U. It literally is the evolution of the feature where you can play some games using the Game Pad alone.

Furthermore, moving Pokemon from older games to the next generation is a feature I'm certain they're likely to maintain. Although there are work-arounds, the fact that a 3DS cart can't fit into a Switch casts further doubt on the Switch idea to me.

Anon they mean the first 4 gens. Each of those had a game where kanto was a ingame region, and its for a reason like that why most of vp would get triggered at another kanto game

>new movie has both lucario and piplup

Fuck you all with the Switch.

I hope we get good gen 7 remaster with lots of good and not capped content.

Rip rse puzzles

>>32307305
exactly
personally I think that we're going to get DP remakes on the 3DS this year as Nintendo's last push for the 3DS. I know that it doesn't follow GF usual patterns since DP can be played on the 3DS, but it would be an easy investment with high returns (pokémon games always sell and the investment should be minimal since they're remakes), so I'd say fuck the patterns. Also this would mean they'd complete the remakes for the classic generations (1-4) and it bodes well with the theory that pokémon is going to eventually move to the Switch with major changes to the classic formula.

>>32307168
>muh patterns
