He is incorrect though, Fire Emblem Echoes is coming the the 3DS only, FE Warriors is getting a N3DS only version, but then the next Fire Emblem mainline entry is thus far looking like a Switch exclusive.  So if there were a Pokemon game on Switch, I actually expect it will be exclusive.  

You can't say "N3ds only version" when it is also coming to the switch. Only doesn't work when there is two options.

I will change my statement to "FE warrior is coming to N3DS and switch".

That still means it is coming to two separate devices. Thus showing that Pokemon - can also be on two devices.

Specially since pokemon isn't even 1/10th as power hungry as a warriors game, thus can easily just be on regular 3ds.

I meant that the version is not a 3DS version, it is only for the N3DS.  You cannot play it on the 3DS, 3DS XL, or 2DS - that is, the vast majority of 3DS units on the market.  

And my point was that they are pretty clearly setting up a roadway to phasing out 3DS support.  We have a full FE game in spring on both the Switch and the full 3DS line, then a FE spinoff in the fall that will only be on a subset of the 3DS line, and then an FE game that skips the 3DS all together.  I highly doubt the 3DS will get a version of the first Switch Pokemon game.  Not because it "couldn't", it just won't.  Because they are going to want to make use of its selling power to push the Switch.  Just like all platform holders do.  The only reason FE Warriors is getting a N3DS version is likely  1) Koei-Tecmo probably really wanted it, 2) they are trying to make the 3DS transition smoother so as not to make the larger 3DS installbase not feel coerced into upgrading, and most importantly 3) FE has nowhere NEAR the hardware moving power of Pokemon.
