Hey, a guy can dream can't he one game is enough for me anyway
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.

Also, let's compare the hirings for the Switch and the 3DS.
3DS "Hiring for a RPG bla bla bla"
Switch "Hiring for a well-known/famous RPG"
(Also, IDK if they need someone so late in the game's cycle. They know the engine well enough to survive without one person, I'd think)
That was what I remembered from the top of my head. Shouldn't have put a quotation mark there, my bad. But, you answered it later.It really reads like that? Definitely means something. Mind linking it pls?
This was the listing I talked about.Also, have we all forgotten about their previous job listings?? They already had job listings for the Switch which mentioned a "world famous RPG." Not only is it different language than this new one, but it also adds to the list of why this new listing being Pokemon 3DS makes zero sense no matter how you write it.
GF are just hiring programmers for 3ds on the next pokemon game, how will they get that done before the end of 2017, I don't know how it'll be done, it would be better if the pull it back till early 2018. Think about it we haven't gotten any announcement lately, which is a reason everybody's assuming it'll be a break year. Also wouldn't that debunk the whole project "stars" since the nexr pokemon will be on 3ds anyway?It could very well just be a different game. Just because they don't have another RPG game right now, doesn't mean they aren't be working on one. If Stars is real, then it's probably mostly finished by now which gives them room to start focusing on another game they have in the works already. Not saying this is true, just that it is a possibility and we still shouldn't all be screaming 'break year' already before anything is actually confirmed ^^;

Well that doesn't explicitly state Pokemon, just that they would be involved in the development of a worldwide popular RPG that has been released for a long time. That definitely fits the description of Pokemon, but it has not been stated. Also, the 3DS hiring position says something to the effect of "we want hire additional workers to expand our business." It is probably Pokemon as that is their only rpg on the 3ds to my knowledge, but we cannot be sure of that. Also, bare in mind that it seems that worker, a 3D modeler (I think), is needed as an additional worker. That implies that they have done some degree of work, if even just planning, so that they are aware that extra hands are necessary.i'm not sure why hiring is indicative of anything other than Game Freak hiring. let's not forget that in what, March? April?, they were hiring a 3D modeler on the Wii U-PSP Vita level. that's clearly not materialized into anything. let's also not forget that that posting explicitly said that there would be a chance to work on Pokemon, rather than this wishy-washy "3DS RPG" this posting is referring to.
I smell desperation...
1. The 3DS RPG could certainly be released by March 2018. That would contribute to Nintendo's 3DS projections for the current fiscal year... Most of the sales are usually attributed to the first month since release.
2. The Switch doesn't need Stars to meet Nintendo's sales expectations. Zelda, Mario Kart, Splatoon 2 and Mario Odyssey are a big deal, and Nintendo's expectations are hardly very high (35 million compared to 40 million for the 3DS).
3. Game Freak aren't going to make a non-Pokemon RPG, lol. Their other games are small in scope and the last one wasn't on any Nintendo platform.
4. There is no reason to assume that they're actually looking for a Switch programmer... There is a separate listing for that!
5. By your logic, their hiring people for the Switch just recently renders Stars unlikely for this year.
6. Their 3DS project could easily be in its last stage, with the company preferring to allocate the experienced staff to the Generation VIII project. The new programmer(s) would just finish the 3DS project, and possibly be kept around for the Switch era.

Now we're getting somewhere. So the Eurogamer rumor loses all credibility.It's pretty clear that we're not likely getting a Switch game right now, let alone a game this year at all.
Link?Considering that what looks to be the same posting on GameFreak's website doesn't even mention working on a 3DS rpg,
