Of course I know the Switch will likely get multiple core Pokemon games, another 3D Mario, another 3D Zelda, etc. What I'm saying is the first installment of the series on the console will always garner the most hype and sales. Every first core Pokemon game on a system has been the best selling for that system. Galaxy was better selling than Galaxy 2, Twilight Princess was better selling than Skyward Sword, etc. The first Smash and first Pokemon for Switch are the two biggest titles Nintendo has left in terms of generating new hype and interest in the system. They should get their own release quarters with room to breathe from any other major AAA title like BOTW and Odyssey did. Putting them together is cutting into maximizing the hype and sales both could get, even though both will obviously still be huge.
