Apparently someone on 4chan posted this and it’s “Pokemon: Let’s GO Pikachu!” The other according to them is “Pokemon: Let’s GO Eevee!”

Pretty terrible names if true.

Sounds... either fake and based on rumors, or more like a spin-off, not a core series game. It has a Hey You, Pikachu vibe.

If it’s real, maybe they’re hoping to grab the attention from all those pokemon go players.

And loose the console players' one...

Pokémon go at it’s peak was 750 million people if they get even 2% that market. It’s 15 million sales

Addition to the people who already buy pokemon games

And more lazy and uninspired titles. These don't fit any main series naming conventions.

If they made a Go clone game then the chinese leaker saying "there's no big focus on the plot" makes sense. 11 months for this...

I don't think that this is the case. I hope that it isn't.

what do you mean a Go clone? for home console? really? oh dear...

 

[Poke Dragon]

Oh no, I really hope they don't steep close to people who will only get one or two Pokemon games out of the entire series, that's what made 3DS Pokemon games lackluster imo, well that and fanservice.

…So what your trying to say is…They'll fit right in?!

There’s also Emily saying Go might influence the next games.

Just imagine if the switch game plays like Pokemon Go. I can’t think of a more underwhelming scenario.

If hardcores bought the lazyy ass USUM game I’m sure they will buy this

Yes. This would be underwhelming.

Pokemon Go doesn't make any sense as a market to target for a home console, though- Go's success came from its convenience, being free to download on a device that users already had. That demographic isn't going to go out and drop $300 on a Switch to play Pokemon. The Go players who are likely to, are already core series players who don't need to be marketed to as Go players.

That’s why I said 2%. It really doesn’t have to be a lot.
