Same but we always run the risk of a third Pokemon coming out

I was talking with a friend about the possibility of Pokemon on the Switch, and also came up with the name Pokemon Eclipse.
It's such an awesome name (though I admit, harder to "translate" as an actual Pokemon creature design)

Nintendo Ninjas on leave? They have been such a leaky ship lately. There's going to be pretty much no surprises left for the reveal event by this point.

Would it really be a console seller? I mean probably but a lot of people will already have the base game on 3DS. A brand new Pokemon from the ground up would be a console seller

I feel like some of you people take Nintendo's PR a little too seriously, lol.
The Switch is very clearly a hybrid, not a home console in a traditional sense. The whole point of the thing is combine Nintendo's home console/handheld businesses and franchises together.

It clearly says in the OP that the third version idea is being revived so unless there was a mistake in communication this won't be a sequel.

It's because we're so close to release. Usually, we'd know the whole launch lineup by now for most other console releases.
Still, first time you'll play Pokémon in HD and on the big screen.

Y'all saying Eclipse aren't making sense. Yellow isn't a mix of Red and Blue. Crystals aren't related to silver or gold. Platinum isn't some Diamond and Pearl intermediary.
But meanwhile, the three symbols on the safes in Virtue's Last Reward are Sun, Moon, and Star, and VLR is a good game.

Not if Retro's and Monolith Soft's games aren't leaked.
Anything else would be a letdown considering its based on a 3DS game - hoping for the same on MHXX.
I wonder how the models will look when playing on the TV. We know that the models are actually very detailed already, but I wonder if they'll leverage the Switch to get the game running smooth first and foremost, but also looking graphical many times superior to the 3DS versions.
It really doesn't matter what people call it. It's simply the next Nintendo hardware to play mainline Zelda AND mainline Pokemon, if (very likely) true.

It was developed in parallel so we have nothing to base that on, could be a technical marvel for all we know.

I feel like people are forgetting Colosseum and XD existed. But I guess they weren't really HD?

Oh shit. Glad I haven't bought Sun/Moon yet.

Did I miss something? I thought MHXX was a 3DS exclusive.

Brilliant, I've missed the old expanded and remixed third pokemon titles, and hopefully I'll be able to pick up a nice pokemon themed Switch in the next 12+ months.
They were GameCube games so not really.

Yeah, no way I'm going back to 3DS to play Pokemon. Interested to see how it looks on Switch.

Well...maybe lets just wait for the event in 2 months. No 3rdParty is announcing Switch games before January.
Nor mainline Pokemon games.
Finally, its been a long ass time.

pretty sure people will buy it two times or just wait to get it on switch.
Pokemon Yellow was released a few years after for gameboy color which was an upgrade of the gameboy. Quite different situation. Thugh we kinda expected it considering Switch can also be a portable.

Really happy to read this, Sun and Moon are practically begging to leap off the 3DS onto something more powerful. 2017 is shaping up to be a great first year for Switch.

A lot of insiders comment how Retro seems to be super tight lipped, ironic considering they're a developer based in the U.S. lol

Yes! Here I was hoping for this. Now I don't have to spend money on a 3DS or the games until the Switch comes out.
Why? Isn't it best for us to know this before the game is out?

Well. I guess I'm cancelling my preorder. I know have time to finish DQVII and SMT:A.
Good good.
Good good.

And even you forgot Battle Revolution, which also isn't HD.
I wonder what is even left at this point. Even the pricing leaked. I guess OS reveal so we can see if that nikkei report about it running android was true.
