that was sort of underwhelming, but an updated Sun and Moon will be cool. plenty of places in Alola that needed more expansion

Especially since so many Megas are missing.

So is Necrozma just essentially Kyurem 2.0? Or is it more like a walking power-up for the light duo?

Apparently there was, very briefly, a TBA release date for USUM on the Switch on the Pokemon Website?

Necrozma armor for the two legendaries makes a lot of sense considering it's the Prism Pokemon, so it's all about manipulating light. I'm wondering if Solgaleo and Lunala are going to get buffed/altered versions of their signature moves when they put on the armor.

No, they mean TBD for a switch version, not the release date for the 3DS games.

I'm excited for Pokken on the switch. I'm in a mood for a fighting game. Now I just need to find a Switch.

Are the Ultra games for Switch or 3DS?

3DS which kind of makes me worry since Sun and Moon already had moments when they made my New 3DS slowly chug along to handle them.

On an unrelated note, I am thankful to see my favorite of the new starters getting some attention. Still hoping it gets a slot in that runprres updated Smash Bros for Switch, assuming it exists.

EDIT: Well, shows what I know, there is a Switch version coming at some point, possibly.

Well the Pokemon Company has one last chance to save the franchise. If Gold/Silver let you trade with the 3ds versions of Red and Blue, and you can trade over a Fissure Machamp, and when you send gen 2 Pokemon to the Bank they don't limit them to their hidden abilities, then No Guard Fissure Machamp will become a reality and everything up until now will have been worth it.

playing a mainline pokemon game on a system that can be on the TV and portable is basically the best possible thing for my favourite video game series

plus a switch version could be fuckin huge, have DLC clothes, even better multiplayer and so much extra poo poo

a switch version would be literally the GOAT pokemon game

For me a Switch version is just a vehicle to see how pretty SM is. It's a pretty game, but it's actually prettier than what the 3DS can handle, so seeing it output on a bigger and nicer screen and get slightly better textures, plus never dealing with slowdowns, would make it ideal. Maybe some lighting effects as well.

That said, I totally understand why it's coming out on 3DS only (or as well) if it has to be one or the other then 3DS is the better choice. I just hope it can also come out on the pretty new shiny system.

Super late reply because I'm not waking up at probably 6 am for an 8 minute pokemon fighting game trailer. But they didn't do a Z version or whatever because Gamefreak was busy with that solitaire horse jockey game.

Calling it an "alternate storyline" has me worried. Sun/Moon felt like half a story to begin with, I'd get pretty excited for a sequel but not a weird parallel universe version.

Hey, I skipped B&W2. How did they explain you not having any Pokemon?
