Nintendo could NEVER keep up with the demand of a Pokemon Swith RPG.

Like never. I am talking CONSOLES SOLD.

If they had infinite stock of Nintendo Switches, it would sell like 2 million consoles day one, 4 million consoles in a month, 10 million consoles in the long run JUST BECAUSE OF the pokemon game. I am talking how many CONSOLES the game would move.

Do NOT TELL me Pokemon only sell mobile. THEY NEVER tried to port a Pokemon RPG MAIN LINE, OPEN WORLD to consoles, so nobody really knows

Pokemon Switch would be overkill and the demand would create a inferno of scalpers selling the Swith at 1k or more.

I mean the real deal main series, not a spin off. I mean if Gamefreak made the mainline Pokemon game that fans have been asking for for ages. AAA budget, open world design, bigger scale, better graphics, full voice-acting, etc. Such a game would sell a metric crap ton and would be a huge system seller for Switch. 

So... Your thoughts.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

There were 2 Pokémon RPGs on the GC...



Yes, yes, this much is obvious, but Nintendo are still struggling with the concept of making good business decisions.

I believe he means of the main series. Not a closseum or spinoff type game. 



Nah, there will be plenty of Switches available this Holliday since Mario Odyssey is also releasing... and Xenoblade Chronicles 2... yeah all systems will be sold out in like 5 minutes after Black Friday...

Its going to be interesting to see what they do with Pokemon on the Switch.

They could make them look a little better than on the 3DS and release like 5 of them through the Switch lifetime and make alot of money or make them look really good, but then they will probably only be able to make 2 games and miss out on alot of money.

PokeMMOn is reserved for the end of days

It would, but it would also take years to make.



....This is why I am assuming Pokemon is a 2018 or 2019 title: so they can be ready for it. Nintendo has had four handhelds to teach them that Pokemon sells like mad.



The Democratic Nintendo fan....is that a paradox? I'm fond of one of the more conservative companies in the industry, but I vote Liberally and view myself that way 90% of the time?

I wouldn't expect Gen 8 until 2020, 2019 earliest. But I gotta say, 10 million lifetime?... Why so low? Mainline Pokemon games usually sell 15 million minimim. If Gen 8 sold 10 million lifetime on Switch, Nintendo would consider that a huge disappointment.
