It doesn't need it to sell well, but US/UM would help quite a lot to grow the Switch user base.And, you know, a simple port would be so hard to make lol It's nonsense not to make it. I can't understand Gamefreak choice tbh. Because the next Pokemon game will be a Switch one, and a better user base works in their benefit.
The only thing that could make... sense is that they possibly think that the Switch production would be so constrained, that a Pokemon game would do anything to sell Switchs. Their stock is very limited after all. But I think it's Game Freak laziness.
