Pokémon Games > Sun and Moon

Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are the last main series games on the 3DS

(1/2) > >>

Petzbreeder:
I watched a Youtube video just now, saying it has been confirmed that Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are going to be the last main series Pokemon games on the 3DS.

All main series Pokemon games will be made for the Nintendo Switch from then on.
Too bad we're not going to get to see a Diamond/Pearl remake on the 3DS. That would have been cool.

Your thoughts?

MonsterMon64:
^Well I mean, it probably would have been cool to have gotten a Ruby/Sapphire remake during Gen 5, too, but I liked the Alpha Sapphire we did get, for what was worth. I get what you mean, though.

It's not exactly surprising they'd switch (er, no pun intended) to a more modern console, especially this late in the 3DS' life, but just how portable is the Switch for that to be justified?* Then again, I suppose Pokemon games aren't advertised for their portability as much as their connectivity, so maybe it's a smart move. It just... kinda kills the whole PoCkeT MonSTER joke.

*To be fair, I'm thinking of getting one some time down the road, but not for a Pokemon game.

To start things off, long time no talk MM64. Marth and Roy are in Fire Emblem games from now on, thanks to amiibo support. This joke came out way more stiff that I thought it would.

Pretty portable. ~3-4 hours of battery life with car charging options if I'm recalling right, and the docking station is really compact.

Ledyba:
A Pokemon RPG has be confirmed for the Switch possibly next year.  I'm gonna guess we're going to see Gen 8 2018/9.

Oh, I guess it has been a while since we directly engaged in conversation. Hey there!

...This response is also stiff, so I think we're even. (though I appreciated the throwback to simpler times...)

And ah, that's good to know. Makes me wonder how the next-gen Pokemon will take the most advantage of the Switch... Thinking back, they could have done more with the 3DS. I think the most we got when X and Y debuted was "Flip the 3DS upside down to evolve your squid" or something like that. I honestly wouldn't have minded a built-in, expanded PokeWalker mode that, I dunno, used Play Coins and also had StreetPass functions, but I guess that'd have been a hard sell these days. Well, unless Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon do something to that effect.

Sounds about right, given the time between the games these days. (also hey, it's been a while since you and I talked, too!)
