Whoops! That's what I get for skimming the thread.

The only New 3DS game exclusive announced for this year is Fire Emblem Warriors, and that's purely because of technical limitations. If it could run well enough on all systems, which games like SM do, then it wouldn't be N3DS-exclusive. This myth about "Nintendo ending technical support for the original 3DS means no more games for all 3DS systems" is pretty absurd, especially when they will still support the 3DS XL and 2DS.I consider the announcement of the New 2DS as proof that the 3DS line is not dead. I believe that Nintendo is ending support for the original 3DS as they just announced that they're no longer repairing original 3DSes. We might see Pokemon jump to the Switch or, if GF doesn't want to make the Switch, they can make the games New 3DS exclusive.
It is absurd. Why are people saying that the 3DS is dead? The New 3DS is still going to be supported.The only New 3DS game exclusive announced for this year is Fire Emblem Warriors, and that's purely because of technical limitations.

That's what I'm saying. Also, having the 3DS around will help Nintendo in case the Switch goes down the same path as the Wii U.All 3DS systems are going to be supported software-wise. You can still buy/fix 3DS XL and 2DS systems, too.
I'm just pointing out a possibility of the Switch going the way of the Wii U. There is no certainty that it won't. Also, I agree that the 3DS will be phased out, but they might create a new handheld to replace it.The Switch won't end up like the Wii U, and the 3DS will be phased out eventually. But it won't happen this year.
It's not like they'll discontinue 3ds era right away when Switch is released. Since New 2DS XL was announced they'll continue to support 3DS era, that won't be going away for a while. Plus how do we know if GF and Nintendo already have a pokemon game to Switch, there's no way they made the game that fast, especially Switch is a console, and they never done a main series game on a console.The Switch won't go the way of the Wii U. Nintendo has too much invested in it.
But now, I am beginning to wonder if, maybe, the portable aspect of the Switch was oversold or seriously exaggerated. I mean, why continue a handheld system when you have a hybrid system that can do the same job better?

That's what I'm thinking. GF has a vendetta towards Nintendo home consoles. They haven't released a game for a Nintendo home console since the SNES era. Although the Switch is portable, it is not as portable as the 3DS line.It's not like they'll discontinue 3ds era right away when Switch is released.

So what does this mean for pokemon?Edit: Serebii has just tweeted hat he had to leave his Switch at home because he couldn't fit it in his bag. That says something about the Switch's portability.

Where do you hear about that?The Nintendo Switch Mini will launch in Fiscal Year 2018, so maybe they'll launch a pokemon game on that, I just hope the Switch Mini is cheaper than the original Switch.
The 2DS is portable enough. It fits in makeup pouches, purses, handbags - anything that'll fit a smartphone. I don't know if you've actually held a 2DS before, but it isn't as big as many people still think.But even the 3DS XL is arguably too big for kids. Then again, the 2DS was made for kids and yet isn't very portable...
