It really depends on if it's a Pokemon MMO or not. The thing is, selling 12-15 million copies of Pokemon 3 times on a console(and maybe 6-8 million for a 4th pokemon on a console) is sooooo tempting and makes them a lot of money. Going for a title with microtransactions and expansions would make them focus on one title, maybbbbee two during the Switch's entire life, just to capitalize on one investment.

I don't know which would make more money, to be honest. What would probably make them the most money is releasing Pokemon games that are limited like the 3DS titles(not multiple regions, no MMO elements, limited scope), but have microtransactions. That could hurt the relevance of the franchise though.
