Does Switch really needs Pokemon this year!?

Let me tell you something. Part of the Switch success is about Nintendo merging both handheld and homeconsole libraries in a single piece of hardware.

After today, the Switch is getting a port of a Wii U game (homeconsole), but couldn't get even a lazy port of a mainline Pokemon game (handheld).

It is not a surprise that some are even speculating around the web or believing that they are going to create another handheld platform or if GF is really going to put at some time mainline games at it.

This of course gives no confidence to the general public or Pokemon fanbase, which is going to buy 3DS or keep their old ones to play the game and pass om the Switch, a new console that needs to grow its userbase as fast as it can to guarantee external support.

Now then, we may be more informed gamers, but out there this holiday season, people that wants to play Pokemon, which is a lot, won't buy a Switch because there's no game on it to play right now.

Tl;dr Yes it needs to grow the userbase faster.

Point is that Switch will be very strong this year regardless Pokemon, and Nintendo could hardly have growth of the user base faster when still can't keep up with demand and next month we already getting new huge system seller game, Pokemon probably wouldn't help when in any case when Nintendo even now cant keep with demand.
