Well, i was wrong about that March-release.
Haven't played Pokemon since i got the first 150 in Blue in 2000, maybe this is the perfect time to jump back in

I dare you to say that again to this Pikachu's face.

After letting the news sink in for a couple of hours now, I am a supporter of innovation and progress if the new that replaces the old is better or at least equally as good as the old.
With that being said: In Game Freak we trust.

Why on earth would you do that? xD

For a spin off it looks really good. Will definitely pick this one. And I'm glad they're taking their time with the core game.

Does anyone dare to predict sales?

Haha, yeah I'm not going to use any of the Pokemon Go features unless you unlock that new pokemon they're teasing by linking an account with it.

Gen 8 is the main event, this will at least keep me busy until then.

...I'm going to say around ORAS sales lifetime, so around 13-15 million shipped + digital. I also think this kind of game might do better in Japan than Sun and Moon did but I'm not sure.

15 million

I hope not. Assuming it's a full price Switch game I'll predict <10m.

But it wouldn't surprise me if I'm wrong.
