I'm guessing a third version of SM for both Switch and 3DS. The big jump for the Switch will be the next gen. But the port can work wonders for Switch's sucess this year.

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!

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

Yep just like how the leaked codename for Sun/Moon did that, so we know Eurogamer is correct about the existence of this game and thus are most likely right about the details, namely third version of Sun/Moon and Switch exclusive.

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?

Didn't Nintendo say they wanted to ship 18 million Switches in its first year?

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.

On the official website they also say big news is coming. I don't know if that means much though, they would probably call every direct 'big'.



Pokémon Star is a join game... with Switch launching a few weeks before.. I stick to my E3 prediction



Switch!!!

Magikarp Jump coming to switch

That looks to be Pokemon starts for Switch/3DS .
A trailer now, and at E3 a demo.



In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.

This! With some sort of comms available between the 2 systems.

ANDY MURRAY:- GRAND SLAM WINNER!

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

That would be a good idea. The big Pokémon fans / Nintendo fans will certainly make the jump to Switch, while casual gamers and kids won't be disappointed for not having a new Pokémon game on their 3DS anymore.



I hope Pokémon Stars is a real thing! A mainline Pokémon game finally on a home console has been demanded for a long time!



Hope Stars is for the switch and 3ds both, and not just 3ds. Should be exiting, although I won't be able to see it until wednesday :/
