Yeah, they won't want to kill Sun and Moon's incredible momentum.

We could see Pokemon Stars, but I do agree that it probably won't be for the Switch if that is the case so yes, it wouldn't be at the Switch event :p

I see your logic and I agree with you for the most part, but a January Pokemon reveal has happened before AKA Pokemon X and Y. They announced that early Jan with their own Nintendo Direct. And it's very possible Nintendo would want to push Game Freak to reveal Pokemon Stars at a time Nintendo needs it the most. Granted if they revealed Stars at the Switch event I only expect the logos or something very small like a teaser trailer, but its fine if they wait until E3 to announce it.

I think Stars will be either revealed in May (simliar to Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire) or at E3. Since Sun and Moon are only about 6 weeks old its way to soon to reveal the third version.

I just want a price and release date, anything else is bonus stuff to me honestly.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Just so yal know, no mainline Pokemon game has ever been first revealed at E3, heck I don't even think any spin-offs were either.

Yeah but that was well after Black2/White2 released in Japan. Also I don't think they absolutely need Stars to be known asap (though this depends on the rest of their line-up). Zelda, Mario, and other games (Animal Crossing plox) should be enough to create excitement leading up to the launch, then a Stars announcement a month or two later will help keep the hype train going.

Nintendo's gotta hold some stuff back for E3. Pokémon is likely a November game, so makes sense to not mention it this week. Also, due to Sun &a Moon still being new, it might harm 3DS software/hardware sales to announce the Switch version too early.



The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.

I almost agree.  I do need to hear a little something about launch titles though.

I'm predicting a new game called Pokemon Home. It will be a place where you can train, trade, and battle the Pokemon you caught in Pokemon Go!.

well this may be true but its more likely be at E3 than in a few days, is what I think we are all going for .

I think we assume its late 2017 and E3 wil be soon after the Switch launch so to keep up momentum something like Pokemon could be reserved for that event.

But fair point (I am assuming you are correct about the no Pokemon at e3 thing :) )

You can always rewatch Nintendo's E3s if ya don't believe me! You'll find that X/Y was actually the first mainline Pokemon game to get coverage during an E3 presentation.
