They are games with totally different appeal, and Nintendo wants to push hard that paid online and also need to ship 20m consoles this FY, also they released like that Pokemon and Smash on 3DS back in 2014.

I am just thinking that with Smash, probably Yoshi, probably Fire Emblem and something else(maybe Animal Crossing) Nintendo has the software that will push hardware to the numbers they want in the fall, then with Pokemon in March they get that second huge push in hardware-sales right before the fiscal year ends. But i wouldn't be shocked if Pokemon releases this fall

I would be fine with them going the Kanto/Gen 1 pokemon route as long as they're using it to make something entirely new like a reboot and not a remake. A big no to borrowing from PoGo mechanics though. I'm OK with there being some kind of PoGo interactivity, but the game should play nothing like that.

I'm still strongly of the opinion that this will be very disappointing though if it's actually coming out this year. That's simply not enough dev time for GF to make a true jump in the franchise from handheld to console. I'd bet anything it's going to just be like an HD version of the 3ds games if it's coming this year.

The company that makes little changes to the franchise is suddenly doing this? Why?

Possible logo maybe?

EDIT: This tweet would certainly make a lot more sense now.

L on the hat for "Let's," Pokeball for "Go," and Pikachu n Eevee are self explanatory.

EDIT2: Holy shit the Pokeball is even tilted the same as in the logo! Yeah, I'm on team real now. :L

Oh really? Now its true yes? A couple hours ago it was shit from reset era. What happened now?

Rumored to release in Sept alongside the online service.

Smash-Sept

Pokemon-Nov

I think thats what will happen.
