Yeah, well I don't trust this guy. I think he regifted, he degifted, and now he's using an upstairs invite as a springboard to a Super Bowl sex romp.
Needless to say I won't be having a roof top party over this.

I'm really happy with the direct, not because it's what I wanted but because I can finally gather up the folks who wouldn't stop yelling ITS STARS!!! and dunk them in the garbage where they belong.

I mean it's not like they couldn't announce ports for Ultra S/M later for Switch, it's what happened with Monster Hunter XX afterall.

Not that I necessarily expect that.

Because they treat the Switch as a larger console that is sometimes portable and the 3DS as the more dedicated handheld whose primary market is younger people

Guess which market is more important for mainline Pokemon

Yeah looking at it now it was kind of dumb to expect a mainline Pokémon game to drop the first year of the Switch and be announced a week before E3
