I dont understand those people. First of all, we are getting another title in the pkmn world. Thats great. Mainline, Go, mystery, pinball and now the lets go ones. Thats great. Second. No one forces anyone to buy that game. I also never bought any mystery dungeon game. But its good to have it. What would be better? Having nothing until 2019 or having a hybrid go/rpg game for a time until the real one comes out? Instead of basjing gamefreak we should applaud them for bringing 2 rpg games in 2 years. This year smash fire emblem hybridpkmnrpggo, next year metroid animal Crossing and pkmncorerpg. Thats just awsome.

My issue is more with the fact that they announced Pokemon for Switch in 2017, it was listed as "2018 or Later" in financial reports, the usual May-time of when a new mainline game is shown comes along, they reveal this, and only like half an hour later do they reveal that it's a spin-off. It wasn't said earlier to temper expectations, and there being two versions means one can be forgiven for assuming it was the main game announced last year. All the pieces were in place for how the next main game is usually announced, and they instead announce and will release a GO spin-off for Switch before even showing the main one they announced a year ago. It just seems a tad tone deaf to me, or else they did it on purpose to bring more attention to this.
