I'm pretty sure its a Switch exclusive and the lack of dual screen and touch screen aren't necessarily a problem since pokemon games have used one ordinary screen for years. I guess they will just have to put everything on one screen.

Please be 3d with real time combat.

I am certain the launch of Switch included several direct quotes from Nintendo leadership that this was a new "home" console, yes they also touched on portability but directly calling it a home console. Afterall, those quotes drove endless rantings on this site. I really don't intend on scouring the webz for such quotes as I'm replying during a meeting at work, but eitherway I fully agree that Switch being the only hardware/pipeline for Nintendo is a greatly positivie result. I'm looking forward to seeing the wealth of first party solidly on a single plaform. I actually anticipated a bigger announcement of that at this E3. Kinda surprised not to see a confirmation of a main Pokemon or other historically portable title announced. 

The first mainline Pokémon to be played at home and it's presented in this way... what a waste of a great announcement.

Yeah, I've already seen some people complaining about this on Pokémon fan sites. They find the Switch too expensive (and some of them don't seem to play any games except for Pokémon).

"They should keep the games for 3ds too  i dnt wnna have to buy switch just to play pokemon, should give pple the option of playing on the 3ds or switch."

"That is unfortunate, idk why they dont want to keep making games for the 3ds, especially when releasing old pokemon games for it. the only vid games i play are pokemon and dnt want to spend 300 dollars just to have the ability to buy a 50 dollar game to play it."

"The Nintendo switch was the first Nintendo console I wasn't eager to purchase. I have my own complaints about the console but to keep it short, I feel the DS system is way more compatible for a tactical turn based RPG like Pokemon than the cumbersome and outdated Switch. (I mean come on! It's a wii without miis and a pretty interface that feels like a second rate console compared to the Ps4 and Xbox 1 which came out in 2014.)
I am mostly dissapointed because I am not paying 400 dollars to purchase a novelty console that comes with Pokemon. RIP Pokemon Gen 8"

I get that the announcement was supposed to be some kind of reassurance to fans due to Nintendo's stance on the Switch not being a successor to 3DS or Wii U, but they did it in the lamest way possible. Wish there was some kind of substance to it. Given how rushed and bare the announcement was, I have a feeling we'll be waiting for a long time before we actually see footage.

My guess is they will just go back to how every GB/GBA/Wii/N64 game had the UI look for in-battles with maybe some improvements. Lower right corner of the screen shows your options, and either above the pokemon or a lower left bar/top right bar for opponent shows the hp, etc. I'm maybe be the change graphically as was from the old DS to 3DS.

I highly doubt it will be action rpg ala KH3, newer FF games, etc. As it would change up the meta way too much. They would probably release a side-game that features that and see how the reception is first before thinking of changing the core formula.

I think they're shooting for a Holiday 2018 release, and if that's the case I can't even begin to fathom how many units Switch will move that Holiday. Especially if they have something else big in there too like Animal Crossing or Smash. Anyone know the all time console sales Q4 record?

Who would have thought.../s

What if GameFreak trolls everyone by making the game only playable in handheld mode, kind of like Voez? No console Pokémon RPG again lol (at least not on the big screen)
