Looks like the Switch mainline game will come out next year, not 2019

>I can play Pokemon on Switch already in 2018
Probably late 2018. May 2018 official reveals, November 2018 release.
More than a year could mean holidays 2018.
D/P remakes make sense
2016-2018 too short gen

Man, I sure hope not. Masuda said they wouldn't be making games for the Switch until they saw the userbase was big enough so they would literally just be starting development now. They need to give themselves time and not crank out games at the same pace as the handheld games.

Retard.

>D/P remakes make sense
no
>>32760743
来年以降 means "next year or later", not "next year" you machine translating fuck.
>>32760743
Yes, anon, I'm sure your google translation is more reliable than what official English sources have said.
>>32760743
Very literal translation
>Intended for the Nintendo Switch, we are announcing that Pocket Monster Series are being developed. We will be able to report more next year or later.

Pottery.
They're not going to announce a game then release it a year later, especially if it's a new gen on a new console. Teasing it early 2018 and releasing it November/Q4 time frame is ideal

Fall 2018 is technically more than a year from now.
>>32760743
>mainline
Literally where does it say that
It could very well be just another spinoff
Sick of people in this board being so retarded
>>32761488
Ishihara literally said it on E3, you dumb fuck.
>>32761488
Pocket Monster Series is exclusively used to refer to the core series, you shitbag.
>>32761488
>core game
>being developed by GF
Yup, they're the retards here.
>>32761424
So is 2019.
>>32761528
Yes it is, good job.
>>32761488
It doesn't say "mainline" because that's a fan term. It does say that it's a game of the "Pocket Monsters Series" in Japanese and it is called a "core game" in English.

>shoddy google translate
>when the official translation in the direct said it will take "well over" a year
okie
1 year for announcement (june 2018),
1 year and half for release (november 2018).
>>32761976
If it's a new generation I can January or February announcement.
>>32761976
>announcing a new generation 5 months before the release
They won't do that, anon. They'll announce it in 2018 Q1 so they can create hype for months and reveal literally everything in the games before they're released.

>inb4 Pokken 3
We won't see Gen VIII until 2019. Don't get your hopes up. Generations generally release every 3 years, the exception being III and IV after 4 years.
He said they won't have anything to show until at least next year.
