Here is something you keep overlooking, though: this isn't JUST a third version. This is a full, traditional Pokémon game on a CONSOLE, that can be played on an HD television. This is going to be a pretty big selling point that past third versions haven't had. Heck, no full Pokémon game has had this. And while it may not sell as well as Sun and Moon, it can certainly cell as well as Zelda and 3D Mario. Heck, Yellow, Crystal, Emerald, and Platinum have all sold about as well or better than the best selling Zelda titles.

Before anyone mentions COlloseum or XD, they were rather odd games. Good games, but not quite mainlinePokemon. 

May the Switch may have them on VC linked to the PK Bank.

They'd best not count them. The closest we ever got was Gale of Darkness, which was also a far cry from a full Pokémon title and received mediocre review scores as a result. A full Pokémon game on a home console, launched after the Pokémon craze has been resurrected, is going to be huge. Not Sun and Moon huge, but still pretty big.

But I personally want Pokémon in the summer or fall, and something else for Nintendo's big holiday title. Nintendo needs the year's biggest guns at launch, so they absolutely need 3D Mario there. Zelda would also be great to have, since it's a different kind of game that can draw in older gamers, but I do worry a bit about Nintendo blowing its big guns at launch.
