The next pokemon game probably won't release on Switch? The reason is simple.

Nintendo and Gamefreak wants to sell games. Pokemon games on 3DS are selling 15 millions. There probably won' t even be 15 millions of Switch until end of 2019, if the Switch sells decently. It could be less.

The best the Switch can hope is 3DS ports.

3D Mario did 10 million on 3DS, guess they should also put the next 3D Mario game on it aswell, oh and Smash, and Mario Kart, and lolz.

The problem with that logic is you kinda need games to sell a system in the first place. Then there's other factors being the 3DS's limited hardware holding the games back and the Pokemon audience being well on the system already so new games for it won't move much hardware.

I say Gamefreak would rather sell 15 millions on 3DS than sell 3 millions on Switch and moving 1 million of Switch.

Pokemon has always been on handheld, Switch games we have seen are ALL home console type. It's replacing the Wii U very clearly and Nintendo is stating this clearly.
