This isn't one of those "my father's friend's daughter's cousin's high school friend's mom works at gamefreak and..." threads. This thread simply serves to tell people who may not have heard what we know regarding the next games, and their relation to the Switch. KEEP IN MIND that if Gamefreak releases a main series game on the Switch, this would be a first considering that it would be the first time a main series Pokemon game appeared on a console. However, since Nintendo has announced no new plans for a handheld, and since the Switch is technically a hybrid between console and handheld, it is likely. Now onto the meat and potatoes...
>the job listings
There are two listings on Gamefreak's website looking for character designers/modelers. According to these listings, they're looking for people who are able to create "character models in the development of consumer games." and that they are going to create "deformed toon-like characters, monsters, items, and so on." They also add that "We'll have you work on the production of an RPG game that is popular on a global scale." and "It's a title just about anyone knows, a proposal that could be your future career." These are some pretty obvious hints. Finally, they mention that the "Platform will be console."
>Ishihara interview
Ishihara (the CEO of the Pokemon Company, in case you don't know) has confirmed publicly in an interview with The Wall Street Journal that they will be supporting the Switch with the Pokemon franchise.
>game data
In the files for Sun and Moon, hi-res models (much higher res than those seen in the games) were found, along with walk cycles for many different Pokemon (which were not used in the game either). Not to mention that hackers have been able to ramp up Sun and Moon to 1080p quite easily.
(Continued...)

>Eurogamer reports
Multiple websites, notably Eurogamer, have been told from "multiple sources" that the next game was well into it's development. Of course, they dubbed it "Stars" (I'm not sure if that's actually true). It would supposedly be an improved version of Sun and Moon (much like Emerald was to Ruby and Sapphire or Platinum was to Diamond and pearl). However, I cannot confirm this and I'm sort of skeptical because I have a feeling this might just turn into another "Pokemon Z".
I got this info from multiple YouTube videos who seem pretty legit. This video (while it is pretty cringey) explains it in full:

Nintendo is releasing a new 2DS this summer so even if GF will jump onto Switch at some point dont expect it to be anytime soon
>>
>>32462180
The new 2ds is essentially the same as the new 3ds...just...the 2ds version. A lot is pointing towards the Switch.
>>
>>32462158
>"deformed toon-like characters"
who the fuck translated this?
>>
>>32462186
Literaly nothing, GF isnt retarded to jump on a new console mid gen
If Nintendo still releases new 2DSthen it means they still have plans for 3DS, at least for a while
>>
>>32462216
>Platform will be console
This isn't specifically saying it's main series, but it's possible.
>>
>>32462216
you're implying of course that releasing the games on both the 3DS and Switch is an impossibility, which is wrong.
Sony does it all the time with the Vita and PS4/PS3 titles, and Nintendo has done so in the past with Pokemom Mystery Dungeon Red and Blue.

Do you people know nothing about game development?
The next games coming out are more than likely near the end of or finished their development cycle already and are going through the final processes before release, now obviously this still takes months but still. The next pokemon game to come out has already been made.
This all points to game freak starting work on a new game.
Gen 8 will be on the Switch.
The final game in Gen 7 will most likely still be on the 3ds/2ds.

>>32462228
How many fucking times do you idiots have to be told that Game Freak doesn't make spinoffs?
>>32462697
This.
>>
>>32462697
Don't shoot the messenger. This is just what I know.
>>32462908
I've heard that somewhere but I didn't think it was true. Whoops.
>>
Gamefreak doesn't know which direction to go with the switch. Imo "Stars" will be on 3/2DS. Especially with the new 2ds being revealed.
Stars or Gen4 remake next, then gen8 on switch
>>
I think if there was a Stars we would've seen it by now.
It's the Z shit again. They probably planned a Stars but then just moved to a totally new game.
>>
>>32462548
Or he's implying that GF is lazy as fuck and would never bother to release a game on two consoles at the same time
>>
>>32462908
>>32463034
yeah, even the ones that have game freak staffers in the credits are usually still made under different studios like genius sonority for trozei
>>
>>32464133
cept of course the fact that they bothered to make higher poly models of all the pokemon.
