Look, I'll gladly eat a crow if I'm wrong, but I don't believe that Game Freak would make one version of a Pokemon game exclusive a console that didn't even get the other versions. If you're making Stars for the Switch, you might as well port over Sun and Moon as well. If it was cross platform with the 3DS, then I could see it maybe being plausable, but I don't buy the fact that they're making just one version of gen 8 for the Switch because it makes no logical buisness sense. Unless the Switch is backwards compatible with 3DS wireless connections, having just one version to trade with defeats the entire selling point of Pokemon. And it's not the first time another main Pokemon game was released late in a system's life Pokemon Black and White 2 were released for the DS a whole year after the 3DS released.
Plus, it probably wouldn't be announced in the Spotlight anyway, The Pokemon Company typically reveals games on their own time, not Nintendo's. Nearly every Pokemon game to date was revealed prior to E3, maybe this time is different but I have very little reason to believe things will change in that regard.
However, it would be hillarious if Stars turns out to just be some throwaway spin-off game for the holidays rather than a mainline entry.

No one specified it would be a single version. My thinking is that Stars will be sequel games like B2/W2, ie: Pokemon Solar Eclipse & Lunar Eclipse, and it will be multiplatform between 3DS n Switch like Fire Emblem Warriors.
Mainline Pokemon used to never show up at E3 at all until recently (2013 with X/Y). That's a good reason to believe a Pokemon reveal at E3 is possible. That, and how the year's game is usually revealed by now.

Now THAT is actually a lot more plausable than just one version of a Pokemon gen being exlusive to the Switch and not the system Sun and Moon originated on. A direct sequel to Sun and Moon with 2 versions for the 3DS and/or Switch is way more possible. I still think it'll be revealed outside of E3 though.
