I will be shocked if Pokemon is released in 2018.  I expect another one of these updates like, "We are working hard on Pokemon to make sure you get it by 2019", and then they tease just a little bit of content.  Animal Crossing is a better possibility and would be a big reveal if they are holding it back til E3.

To be fair Pokemon from start is stated like 2018. or later release, while for instance Metroid Prime 4 is TBA. We also had few indications that Pokemon could really come this year,  localization is already started few months ago , new trademark...in any case I definitely expecting Pokemon or Animal Crossing this year alongside Smash Bros.

I know they've said 2018 or later, but I am pretty certain it's "later".  Going from 3DS to Switch is a big leap in graphics and such.  I think they are going to need more time to get it right.
