Would Nintendo put Pokemon on Switch ?

I think if it was up to Nintendo then Sun/Moon would have been Switch launch titles.

So assuming GameFreak are the ones who choose which platform they develop for (makes sense seeing as how they`re an independent company) I think it`s quite likely actually. But as a port of a game rather than a game made specifically for the Switch. They`ll surely have seen how many extra sales games like GTAV got from being ported to the next console as well so it would be kind of surprising if they didn`t try to attempt the same.

Masuda has spoken on the subject. Switch is the future of gaming and all, but they need to wait the release of the console and and see how it is received.

I wouldn't exclude a Switch port/version, but putting it as a Switch exclusive would be shooting themselves in the foot. Gamefreak employees probably don't want to lose their sales bonus to increase the Switch popularity.
