What thats what defines console Pokemon game compared to handheld Pokemon game? For instance this games offers local multiplayer play on one unit, past handheld games didnt offer that.

Also they said core Pokemon game is coming next year.

The scope of the game, it should look more like a 3D mario, then a 3DS Pokemon game.

I would expect that in 2019 imo.  Sun and Moon were moving things more in that direction already.  Let's Go is being framed as more of a bridging experiejce for those exposed to the brand through Go and such but intimidated about jumping into something like Gen 7 with hundreds and hundreds of Pokemon plus the elaborate meta.  Also it's a good way to ease lapsed fans back in and give new comers an easier point of entry.  To that end it is more chill and back to basics in a way.  

I expect Gen 8 will be more what you are looking for. 

Also, consider the technical leap they are making.  Going from PS2 level hardware to the Switch means all their tools and tech will need a massive overhaul.

Also, the explicitly stated the 2019 game will have very little in common with this.  It entered development before the Switch was announced and so is not influenced by Go.
