I guarantee that’s exactly what they’re doing, for the next actual pokemon game.

Capcom certainly knows how to milk like nobody’s business. I’m not defending anyone, I’m saying that I find people getting butt-hurt over obvious business decisions funny.

I’m sure the new game is a little half-baked, but it doesn’t really divert resources. Games are made by large teams and it makes sense to have your concept artists and writers work on new assets for the next game while the programmers and QA people port a game that already has most of their assets. It’s just being…

Indeed. It’s why we get so many shoddy “HD upgrades” these days. I feel like more of them run poorly than those that run well.

When did they ever say that?

Is that true? I don’t think I’ve ever heard that before.

finish your Mario, then if you’re good, you can have a little pokemon before bed next year.

Both of these are true. Let’s not COMPLETELY blow our load in 1 year. There’s also people like me that want a certain OTHER rpg a bit more. :)

Clearly I put more thought into my responses as I don’t need someone else to reply to them just for the world to see it.

Hmm I dont know why you’d need 2 switches but I think a lot of people just want to have that home/handheld hybrid convenience.

From what I’ve heard and read over the years, it’s up to the Pokemon Company. Looking at 2 examples:

I feel like they wouldn’t want to just use 3DS assets, not to mention all of the UI is designed for dual screens. Of course the game could be ported, but I feel like it would be at least a year after making that decision.

I only expected disappointment and was laughing during the entire direct. Probably helped because I listened to gameXplain’s half hour predictions video last night...

Yes and Breath of the Wild was delayed for 2 years.

I would kill just to have a port of F-zero GX (with death battle and online play).

Yup my bad, realized it after I typed it. Game Freak also makes games for other companies like Sega. Pokemon Company has full control over what games they make though and as far as I know, they don’t have a clause in their contract that obligates them to make games for Nintendo’s system of choosing. The Wii sold like…

big time. They just got a new Pokemon last year. Metroid on the other hand, now that would be something to get upset over.

Umm, Nintendo HAS been working on a ton of Switch games. Nintendo doesn’t make Pokemon games, they publish them.

Watching the stream chat during this Direct was hillarious. Reading the comments now is almost as funny. Every time I hear someone complain that a game is coming to the 3DS instead of the Switch, I can’t help but shake my head.

Yeah her chinese outfit is the only one that looks like she’s not wearing a compressor vest, but the rest all do. I played Yoshimitsu’s “story battle” today and realized that they were in fact trolling all along.
