Releasing Pokémon in November counts as a holiday release. 
it’s very silly to think that Nintendo will have absolutely 0 first party releases after this point( I guess we are ignoring xenoblade and club house games). 

I don't think there will be nothing.  But I do think that it will be a lost year.  Basically, I think that half of the Summer schedule will be pushed into Fall and that'll be it outside of maybe an easy port or two.  I also don't think that Nintendo had a particularly impressive Summer to begin with.

I think we'll look back and say that June-August 2019 was more impressive than June-December 2020.

It's still a wait-and-see for what entails for the rest of the year. This year is unlike any other with the virus affecting workplaces and businesses.

It's gonna be hard considering that software releases will be an issue for all companies in the industry, which was even admitted by Microsoft's Phil Spencer saying that COVID-19 could delay some of the launch titles for XB Series X. Sony is planning for a limited launch for the first year for the PS5. Who knows when the Xbox Series X will release this year and if it will be a limited launch as well.

I am not sure of the economic status for the rest of the world, but for the US, it will take some time before the economy starts to fully recover. So buying a $500 console + $60 games + subscriptions will be a challenge for the more casual audience.
