Of course a new, more powerful next-gen Switch is on the cards. - How is that news?
These devices are planned years in advance, I would be surprised if Nintendo wasn't working on a Switch 2 before the Switch released.

Leakers who claim "a new console is in the works" might as well start trying to convince people that water is wet.

Leakers typically get more of their "leaks" or "predictions" wrong, than they do get right. - The ones they do get right are generally the most obvious of the obvious.

Depends on the leaker's track record, this guy has gotten previous things correct and probably is plugged into the manufacturing chain in China. 

Also, why is Nintendo going out of their way to get his Reddit and his posts on a Chinese forum shut down, if this Pokemon leaker was correct I think perhaps Nintendo is trying to crack down on leaks. 

All "leakers" aka. "predictors" get things correct at one point or another.
They will typically just hide the crap they got wrong and for the few things they got right they will screech "look at me! I did a thing!".

We saw this prior to the Switch launch where "leakers" of all sorts of apparent "credibility" were claiming rubbish like the console was going to be Radeon powered, was going to have a 1080P display, was going to be 4k and more.
We see this cycle *every* console generation prior to the next console release. Every. Single. Time.

Nintendo tends to be rather rabid on closing down anything and everything Nintendo related on the internet, doesn't matter if it's Art, Game preservation, music, mods or whatever else.

They actually have a legal requirement to protect their I.P. I wouldn't look to much into it, it's Nintendo just being Nintendo.

A smooth transition instead of killing the previous gen right from the gate, abruptly forcing the consumers to move. I truly think it will work just right 

Why on Earth wouldn't Nintendo want that, though? It means selling more hardware right off the bat.

It's not like their support of outgoing consoles has been stellar in the past (e.g. moving titles midway through development to be exclusive to the successor platform, or just delaying titles to launch alongside it).

Fact of the matter is, with the Switch having 120~ million units in the market place and still continuing to grow, it is a platform that will still be around for years to come... Even if Nintendo doesn't develop for it.

And a Switch 2 or Switch Pro won't change that thankfully.
