I didn't expect Pokemon Sun/Moon to be 3DS games, I thought Nintendo would push them to the NX to sell the system.

Even though the exact same thing happened with Black/White?

The original DS was way above the 100m units sold at that point, Nintendo would have wasted a giant oportunity not releasing it on the DS, specially when D/P sold the 3rd best in the series. And even then, Black/White was pushed alongside the 3DS for a long time, due to the 3DS being compatible with DS games (something we still don't know about the NX). Now, the 3DS has half of the DS installbase and their bussiness seem to be fusing their hardware division into one unified product/family. The NX needs the Pokemon push more than the 3DS needed it.
