That probably wouldn't be very efficient, it would mean both systems would have to exchange save files simultaneously which could cause even more lag when trading and battling. If this is true, Game Freak won't go for this. They're not going to make the lag worse when people are already...

Also used for Mario Golf, Mario Tennis, and Perfect Dark. Used for various other games. Built in functionality for two devices released close together. Also built in functionality, and there weren't even any Pokemon games that utilized it. Pokemon is the highest profile IP to use them...

And that's the other thing, what kind of "support" is the 3DS getting from here on out? Aside from Pokemon, there haven't been any A list or even B list titles on the 3DS in 3 years. What games are coming out in the next year or two or came out recently that would be worth communicating with...

It's PR, of course Nintendo's not going to say they're dropping the 3DS. They want the system to keep selling until its natural death. That doesn't mean that the 3DS has a long term future and it's going to be compatible with the Switch. "Support" could mean a couple of B or C tier games and...

Okay, first of all, how do you know the 3DS has a year or two left? You're not Nintendo, you don't know for certain how long the 3DS has left. Second, whether or not the system is dead isn't as relevant as whether or not it's technically possible. But if you're that concerned about the system...

That's only been true when they're same generation. The GB/GBC and N64, the GBA and GC, the DS and Wii, and the 3DS and Wii U can communicate with each other, but those devices were same generation devices introduced all around the same time, which the 3DS and Switch aren't. The only way cross...

Hold on a minute. For one, Game Freak isn't the only company to go mobile. Nintendo themselves have also made mobile games. Just because they're making mobile games doesn't mean they're not also making Switch games. Second, game developers generally don't like to show their hand until they're...

Yeah, I think the best you can hope for with a 3DS successor is a stripped down version of the Switch without a dock, pretty much serving as the Switch's 2DS. They likely want a combined lineup, so they're not going to come out with a completely different handheld with its own games, if there's...

It would be staying handheld. You're just getting a handheld that also happens to be a console.

Okay first of all, the mobile games are basically just a side venture right now developed by one dev team. Nintendo's development overwhelmingly favors 3DS and Switch, with 3DS support likely tapering off over the next year. As for the other "problems" you discussed, the screen size is about the...

Releasing a handheld successor to the 3DS alongside the Switch defeats the entire purpose, the whole point of Nintendo making a hybrid console is so they can pool together their resources and audience onto one device to help their games sell better and avoid another Wii U-like disaster...
