Seriously.
Nintendo hired additional ninjas at the end of last year, forgetting about Conservation of Ninjutsu.
You do realize that this follows the same release pattern as other third versions of Pokémon games, right? They put in extra stuff, then release it a year or two later.

This might actually be the first pokemon game I get.
Pretty sure it will atleast be remastered. Would be dumb to have the low 3DS resolution and textures on the Switch.
Probably render in 720p and then blown up by upscaling to whatever resolution your TV is.
I guess the 3DS pokemon games don't exist? The New 3DS XL gets like four hours at best.
I canceled my pre-order yesterday because I wanted extra black friday funds. Probably doesn't count.
People kept throwing out "but Game Freak haven't done it like that in the past!" when they've broken every other pattern in the book at this point.
Not surprised by this. GF are very backward in a lot of respects and stubborn with switching platform as we saw last gen, but even they can see that the Switch needs to come out swinging.
I cancelled my pre-order of the Sun/Moon bundle (my brother & I were gonna split the cost and get one cartridge each). I'm also no longer getting the n3DS Black Friday deal (which I mentioned earlier in this thread).
Maximum attention/reach.

considering GF has been trying to get away from the 3rd version deal and and them being late adopters of hardware i doubt it
If it can be played with one of these:
on a HDTV, then it's a home console to me.
Sorry you don't feel the same way.
I once thought the same thing as you, but then I remembered that Pokémon Crystal happened.
Also remember that Eurogamer has been pretty on-point with their Switch rumors.
There were few threads about up-ressed 3DS Pokemon games and they looked surprisingly good. With some time spent on ironing things out should make them look decent enough.
They could get more attention if they revealed it in the week of the Switch blow-out imo.
Exactly. The Pokemon Company/GF know that if the Switch fails Pokemon will suffer as well. They're not going to wait two or three years for a new generation because those two or three years, especially without a Pokemon, could make the Switch into another Wii U-type failure.
The Pokémon models themselves have already been future-proofed for HD, to the point where the 3DS can barely handle them. The overworld & textures on the other hand may need some updating.

Feels like this is too much on the nose like they were following patterns but forgot plenty of things.
Like when was the last time we had a singular third version? Also if you played the game, Stars is very much not the third name
also
wait what
I won't comment on the Red and Blue -> Yellow though. Since out of technicality it is more of a revision of a revision.

as the supposed mon that goes with it is more aligned with Eclipse or Void

There better be a car charger.
is this pokemon stars like, the whole, complete Sun/Moon games but with extras?
like getting a new version of a past Zelda game but getting 3 new temples, new sidequests, new items, etc. all exclusive to that version?
other than not wanting to wait, I don't see why would anyone buy the lesser 3DS versions.

The number of people who wanted to buy and play Moon and Sun and change their mind now is insignificant. Pokemon fans won't wait a full year for the game. Plus it's not a port, it's a third game and it will be linked to Moon and Sun, so no real reason to skip it.
Don't confuse GAF with real world.

It looks pretty good rendered at 1080p. They just need to redo some of the textures and it will look good enough.
Dem clicks. Dem views. Dat attention.

new pokemon spoilers
idk necrozma, who I assume you're talking about, is a prism and gets it's energy from light. both eclipse and void are the absense of light. stars create light.
Indeed. Pretty hyped.

Cause 3DS battery is so good of course
You're saying your phone is a handheld, then?
From what we know about other third versions of Pokémon games, think of it like what Crystal was to Gold & Silver, what Emerald was to Ruby & Sapphire, or what Platinum was to Diamond & Pearl.
