They said that they were developing something for the Switch, not that it was necessarily even a Pokémon game, much less a mainline game.

I imagine that this generation will be a lot like Gen 5 where there Game Freak starts to put spin offs on the Switch while any additional mainline games this generation stay on the 3DS.
I'd bet on the gen 4 remake being on the 3DS, but we'll see gen 8 on the switch.

sorry buddy, its shining diamond and pole jam for america

why would they put the new pokemon on the switch though? its not like they're gonna kill their dedicated portable game console for the switch because it can play home console games on the go

That's literally exactly what Nintendo has planned to do since before Iwata died

They've been talking about combining their handheld and console development into one platform for a while. The 3ds is going the way of the GBA and will quietly have its development stopped once the current crop of projects have gone out.

Does anyone know if the Switch will have 3d capability? I don't use it often, but it can be fun.

In my heart of hearts I wish that Pokemon Crazy Diamond and Pokemon Pearl Jam will come out for 3DS and Pokemon Star Platinum will be a Switch title with a couple of extra features but mostly running a solid 30fps and rendered at 720.

they arent going to be called that

Right now they're just trying to build hype by getting the name out there and showing you can take games on the go. They haven't said anything about the features and are waiting until the Christmas open 3DS return period runs out before saying anything else.

Nope, no 3D capability. That'd probably interfere with doing 1080p.

you can't, they are untradeable and locked to your save file. On the plus side I think it comes with three perfect (but unbreedable) IVs!

You can catch a new cosplay Pikachu in Sun and Moon though, so no worries. The only difference is that its name is now Mimikyu.

In that case, I've never owned a portable system, because Nintendo's never made one that can fit in women's pants pockets.

Then again, companies don't make wallets or phones that fit either.

No nintendo handheld is good for men's pockets either, including the gameboy pocket. They're 3x as thick as modern smartphones at minimum which is solidly "I don't want this in a front pocket" but it's not just a wallet so you also don't want it in your back pocket.

They're portable because they fit easily into bags and don't need a wall outlet to work.
