I guess this was supposed to be the new core Pokemon. They showed it and then they realised that many haven't liked it. Then they panicked and someone came up with the idea of "let's tweet the core Pokemon is coming and in the meantime we rush to make a new one as usual".

:D :D

Uh, no. There was never any chance of Gen 8 coming out this year. The only people who would think that are those who are ignorant of Pokemon's release schedule.

Gen 1 - 1996
Gen 2 - 1999
Gen 3 - 2002
Gen 4 - 2006
Gen 5 - 2010
Gen 6 - 2013
Gen 7 - 2016

The shortest gap has always been 3 years. But now suddenly Game Freak is expected to develop their first HD Pokemon games on a home console faster than any previous Pokemon generation? That is a completely illogical belief.

Let's Go was never planned as a core game.

of course, it was a joke
