No, but if they announce a new game now, it's extremely likely to release in 2017.

Yeah but when I talked about 8th gen, I wasn't referring to the tomorrow direct but in a future one!

Anywise, we can't be sure if the  direct is for switch...

 

Appropos, a remake should sell above 10m no matter HD or not... Every pokemon remake has sold more than 10m! Perhaps, the games of 4th gen in overly superior graphics could sell like a main game, plus that these games are for many people ( including me, I love Platinum )  the best Pokemon games ever.

 

Third versions sells between 6.5m-8m...So you could be right, that HD version could heple a third version to sel 10m+ for the first time.

( Pokemon yellow doesn't count, it was in the era of Pokemon franchise debut )

Well a HD port, remake, stars, whatever could have trouble reaching 10+ million just for fact of supply constraint system.

By the time 10 million pokemon players get a switch, the next game might be getting announced and thus it may not reach 10 million. I mean look at Japan. It has what like 1m switches over there. Hard to sell its usually pokemon numbers when only 1 million potential buyers. Of course pokemon could pull a zelda and have a higher attach ratio than system, lol

But out of all switch owners right now. Not all of them want pokemon. But you can bet a ton of non-switch owners want pokemon. So it would be a battle to get switches in those players hands. Are splatton players pokemon players? Will we have two different crowds fighting for the sames system?

Cool. Gets it out of the way and makes more room for other games at E3.



Jesus Christ, Nintendo! Will you quit already!

The SuMo announcement ND was very short as well.

I was trying to find it to see exactly how long it was, but then remembered they took the video down. Gee I wonder why that could be!

I don't actually know, but it's up on their UK channel

A new Pokemon? Yeah, obvioulsy.

I was almost sure, I just had the a slight fear that you might have acquired ''anti-3dsness'' after switch release...

I have, but I'll still play games on it.

Pls be for the switch

Doesn't a particular website with the last word meaning stars in Japanese also redirect to the main Pokemon site?

Then you don't really have it! :)



Matsuda, producer and composer of the Pokemon franchise and one of the founders of Game Freak, apparently retweeted the direct announcement. So hopefully it means something big.

You don't actually know what, why they took it down? It's gotta be because the game they're about to reveal is the third version of Sun/Moon so they don't want confusion.
