More like forgot, to be honest. Still, I don't see either of those moving much. Mario Party is already on the Switch. For Pokemon, I think the series is at a bit of a low point due to the disappointment with Sword and Shield and the Pokemon Company's mismanagement of the brand. A lot back be said about Pokemon, but look at the sale of Sword and Sheild against Nintendo other titles. Zelda, Animal Crossing and Mario Kart have all outsold it, and Mario Odyssey is only behind by less than half a million. Contrast this to the 3DS, and the only game that beat Pokemon was Mario Kart. People aren't happy with the look of BDSP and Nintendo has been very quite with the title. It wont be pushing Switch units this holiday season.

Pokemon Company bet against the Switch. The transition for smartphones for them it's given. Arceus maybe will arrive  late. 2022 needs to be the new 2017 for the platform and OLED works too. 

I can totally buy that, but I think it's more reason that the Pokemon Company has outlived it's usefulness. Not to go on an entire tangent about Pokemon, but the Pokemon Company is more concerned about milking the series at the cost of the brand. I think it's something Nintendo needs to try and get a handle on. With more Nintendo series beating out Pokemon, it's clear that the brand is in a bit of a decline.
