Can the Games be 3Ds too?If there's one sequel, one remake, and one third game for Nintendo Switch, what would you want
For me:
Pokemon Stars (Third game to Sun and Moon)
Pokemon Diamond and Pearl Sequel
I don't know about a remake
With that kind of demand, I'm not sure it's wise to release something on Switch right now when the console has high demand and short supply. If they do release a game on the Switch, I'd imagine they would wait until the console has enough base users and enough consoles to meet most of the supply shortages.
I don't know if they do a poekmon game for 3ds, since sun and moon reached it's limit on 3ds, If they do stars on 3ds and switch it'll be good, but I might buy me Switch for PokemonCan the Games be 3Ds too?
I agree, I think 3ds might be discontinued in 2018, it'll be good to have one last 3ds game for pokemon before moving to SwitchIf the next games are released in 2017, then I could see possibly both a 3DS and Switch release. But if the games are released in 2018, then I see it being Switch-only.
I am more hoping for 2018.
Here's a Reddit User's comment on Pokemon for the Switch, and why he doesn't want it to happen. I agree on all of these points.
- Gamefreak have always released on the biggest market share, BW2 came out on the DS a year and a half after the 3DS was released, I admit that may have been for generation reasons but X and Y were released when the 3DS was 2 and half years old.
- The switch is not Nintendo's new handheld, it's their new home console, they've made the clear and expect the 3DS to continue for some time more (hence the 2014 update), I think we may soon start to see "new" 3DS exclusives.
- Nintendo don't decide the console as far as I know, The Pokemon Company/Gamefreak do.
- In the past they've been fundementally against releasing main series for home consoles because of the games multiplayer trading mechanics.
- The switch is too expensive for the younger (and significant proportion of the) Pokemon demographic, Pokemon/Nintendo want every child to have a console and for them to buy a game each. The series is set up to encourage that. Switch will be likely 1 per household.
- Until a week or so ago the sales figures for the new 3DS and the Switch were roughly the same, the new 3DS is now over 2 years old. Switch sales have since surged but the "old" handheld is far from dead.
Few kids buy their own home consoles-it's usually a family that buys it, since everyone will use it. (The Switch has only been out about a month, too-plenty of products have received price cuts a bit after launch)The switch is too expensive for the younger (and significant proportion of the) Pokemon demographic, Pokemon/Nintendo want every child to have a console and for them to buy a game each.

Doesn't have to be the case-I've shared consoles with my siblings, and they can change a lot of mechanics.Pokemon/Nintendo want every child to have a console and for them to buy a game each.
Multiple games, yes, multiple consoles, no. You can still access the GTS and make a trade for yourself with just one console, so that's Dex and trade evos solved.The series is set up to encourage that.

And comparing handhelds for each child VS one home console (in a family of three kids, using the starting price unless it was dropped within a year):
If Nintendo just put games on one home console, it'd be much cheaper for any family with more than two kids.
- Three 3DSs would be 510$ to a WiiU's 300$.
- Three DSs would be 390$ to a Wii's 250$
- Three GBA SPs would be 300$ to a Gamecube's 100$
This argument is, frankly, a little self-contradictory. You're arguing both that it's too expensive for fans to move over to a Switch, and that Nintendo wants to keep making money by encouraging multiple handheld consoles. One of these things has to be false.

CAN WE PLEASE AGREE THAT SAYING THAT "GF HAS NOT DONE IT BEFORE IS N-O-T a good argument??!!Here's a Reddit User's comment on Pokemon for the Switch, and why he doesn't want it to happen. I agree on all of these points.

They've ALWAYS showcased the handheld aspect in their trailers. It is advertised as a H-Y-B-R-I-D console. We've already had wars on the subject.

Nintendo owns atleast 33% of TPCi (The Pokemon company) so, naturally, they have an influence on it's proceedings.
- Nintendo don't decide the console as far as I know, The Pokemon Company/Gamefreak do.
See the bottom of the post, where I've posted Reddit users' views. Also, Switch encourages multiplayer, so it is in fact fitting into GF's philosophy even better than the 3DS.
- In the past they've been fundementally against releasing main series for home consoles because of the games multiplayer trading mechanics.
3DS launched at $250, so it isn't the world of a difference.

See down.

The Reddit User said:Maybe I'm being biased/naive/optimistic because I really don't want a Switch and I'll be gutted if the next Gen is on the console...

You very conveniently did not mention the counterpoint she provided in the same Reddit comment.

This is the comment, for everyone's information.
From the replies:
"Why? Users can trade online using friend codes." (This addresses point no. 4)
"The 3DS stuff is PR speak. Pokemon sold 15 mill, FE is getting a remake, and they have Ever Oasis and a few other games coming. Once that stops, the 3DS is done. If the 3DS failed as hard as the Wii U right about now we'd be hearing the same thing, but it's not so they're gonna milk it till at most the very beginning of 2018. They unified their development teams for a reason. There's no reason to keep the 3DS that much more alive when you can just put it all on the switch and reap better numbers. And the Switch isn't that much more expensive. The 3DS launched at $250 after all. Wii U got a price drop like the 3DS did very early on, and I expect the Switch to get one as well."(this addresses the last point.)
This is the sole reason why I recently avoided posting here- the same argument repeated over and over. But I just couldn't resist replying to nonsensical posts.
EDIT: @RileyXY1 The user themselves posted that they may be biased at the end of the comment, and you didn't add the part.
How long did it take the 3DS to get a price drop?
Except you only need one console and three controllers to play multiplayer on a home console. Not an accurate comparison.Like you said, three 3DS's is $510, vs. three Wii U's $900, three DS's is $390 vs. three Wii's are $750. The only one that's arguable is the GameCube which is still $300 and carries zero portability. I
You might want to reread my post, I already stated that you only need one console to trade through the GTS.The point is for those kids to be able to battle and trade with each other, which is impossible to do on one home console,
Right, I forgot that home consoles only support one-player play. Silly me!In a family of three kids, the whole point of getting Pokemon games would be for them to entertain each other, which is what affordable handhelds has been accomplishing for multi-children families for 20+ years.
Like I said before, I actually already pointed out how you can still trade through one console, which is interacting between games. A+ reading comprehension!Fixed it for ya.
And I have two brothers that I play Pokemon with. I'm not arguing against the inclusion of these features, I'm saying a move to the Switch doesn't need to remove them.I can't speak out of experience since I'm an only child, but I have friends who can, being able to trade and battle with your siblings in the GBA games was an amazing experience, and I had a few cousins who played and had their own GBA's so whenever we got together, we could do the same.
