One day we're going to have an actual real discussion about why you're wrong about Gen 4 so we can stop these petty pot-shots.

That day isn't today, though.

This is why no real discussion is necessary.

The best news is the Silver/Gold VC ports. And that says a lot.

And you can't even play those on the Switch either, wonder when VC will be out on Switch, and when it finally comes wonder how long it'll take them to roll out all the VC games available on other systems already.



Guess no Pokegame for me. *shrugss*



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile


I thought it was fine. Pokken will help fill out an already great 2017 Switch lineup.

A mainline Pokemon game was wishful thinking IMO. It would be weird if Nintendo fired 4 of its biggest shots (Zelda, Mario Kart, Mario, and Pokemon) within the first nine months of launch.

If and when Pokemon Switch happens, it will probably get it's own dedicated holiday launch.

Gamefreak being gamefreak.

Pokken on Switch on september is great but certainly not what I was hopping, well have to wait longer, maybe E3? I'm afraid we'll know nothing until 2018.

Really? UltraSun and UltraMoon? So are they sequels or updated versions?

I think it'll be similair to Black/White 2, so sequel?

Yes, but technically it's a third version with two sub-versions! 

 

Ha, history repeat itself...

2012 Black 2 and White 2, Kyurem x Reshiram and Kyurem x Zekrom, now 2017 Ultra moon and Ultra sun, necrozma x lunala & necrozma x Solgaleo!

 

I'm glad they didn't name the Sun 2 and Moon 2, haha....

From what I read, they say it's an 'updated version' ...no idea what that means.



I'm actually glad that the equivalent to Black and White 2 are 3DS games. It has been far too soon since Sun and Moon for a true HD Pokemon. If Stars or Ultra S/M were to come to the Switch they'd essentially be up-resed versions of a 3DS engine. And I for 1 have much higher hopes for the first HD Pokemon game. If there was ever a series I wanted to go open world, this is it. Let us see the Pokemon in the distance, without random encounters. Lets have fields full of dozens of species. Let us interact with our Pokemon without needing menus like Pokemonimee. Let us go on a real adventure.

That just wouldn't be possible in Alola, or this quickly. Maybe if they had never made Sun and Moon in the first place and had started work on the Switch game in early 2016.

I see you point, but in my opinion, Sun/Moon should have been Switch games from the beginning. They wanted to show how beautiful Alola is, but they ended up cramped into the 3DS power limits. Then again, I really want GameFreak to just go on and focus on the 8th gen. 7th gen was a big backwards in general.



You know it deserves the GOTY.
