Im not saying youre wrong, i think the leak is fake as well.....but wouldnt being between S/M & Pokken be a huge visual leap?

In between S/M and Pokken is a very wide window, could mean it looks as good as PS3 game or only as good as a GCN game, but the big take away is that it doesn't look as good as Pokken. No way Pokemon Switch isn't on par with other 1st party releases I say.

I personally don't think the Fire Emblem name single-handedly debunks it, it could just be a direct sequel to Radiant Dawn.

I wouldn't use him saying Pokemon's graphics are only a half step for debunking purposes either, Gamefreak are frankly kind of lazy. There's a reason why the DS Pokemon games look pretty much the same as the Gameboy Advance Pokemon games even though DS was a good bit more powerful. Halfway between Sun/Moon and Pokken is actually better graphics than I'm personally expecting, though obviously I'm hoping for Pokken tier graphics. The recent leaked screenshot barely looked better than Sun/Moon, hopefully it was fake (though I do hope they replaced random encounters with visible Pokemon and allow you to have your lead Pokemon out of it's ball like the screenshot suggests): 

A direct sequel using basically the same exact name, cmon who does that? Can't say Intelligent Systems does as Radiant Dawn while a bit similar isn't the same as Path of Radiance. Also logistics. Why make a sequel to a 10 year old game few have played and have to deal with whether or not it should be modernized?

Sure back then they might've been lazy in terms of graphics, but the more recent games are naturally more telling of their current plans, and the 3DS installments are among the best looking games on the system. On the flipside, content/quality/balancing have suffered a bit, so even if you still want to say they're lazy, it just means the little effort they do put in is focused on flash and style rather than substance. Also I've no doubt that screenshot is fake. It's just straight out of Sun/Moon with minor additions. Very easy to fake.
