if Pokemon can release this holiday season along with Smash Bros.. the sheer explosion in hardware and software sales will be massive.

SWITCH WILL overtake Xbox one this year as the analyst predicted

If they release around the same time it might actually be harder to find a Switch when they drop than it was at some points last year, haha.

MrMagz2222d ago

Nintendo apparently plans on shipping over 20 million Switches this year, so they theoretically could have enough to push both Smash and Switch this year. Especially if they can get 3+ million in Japan this holiday, what with Smash, Pokemon, and Yokai Watch (3 huge Japanese sellers) coming this year.

I'm hyped for both!!! :) When I heard Project Beluga, I immediately thought of that whale with that odd shaped head. Grade school really paid off I guess. ;p

Hopefully we get more news at e3. If all we get is a teaser trailer it wont be releasing this year.

Seeing how it seemed development only started a little over a year ago I feel like this only going to be Pokemon hd and not some all out game of the generation I'm hoping for.

MrMagz2222d ago

I think there were reports of GameFreak working on an HD Pokemon game as early as late 2016. This would make sense since the B-team worked on Ultra Sun/Moon, giving the main team a little over 2 years since Sun/Moon to work on something bigger.

* Smash Bros, Pokemon, Fire Emblem + whatever other announcements/surprises we get at E3.

The back half of 2018 is loaded for Switch,PS4 & XB1. I play my 3rd party games on XB1, so yea they still factor into this race even though PS4 has more games and exclusives than XB1.

Pokemon Doesn't Need to Sue Palworld, It Needs to Get With the Times

The Nerd Stash: "There's been a lot of talk about Pokemon and Palworld recently, but if anything, Pokemon's new competition should be a sign to change."

Fortunately for Nintendo, the legal team is separate from Game Freak’s development team.

NotoriousWhiz109d ago

Unfortunately for us, as their legal team seems to be more competent than Game Freak's development team.

gold_drake110d ago (Edited 110d ago )

they do tho .. IF there is something to sue for. IP infringement is such a delicate thing.

but absolutely agree on the change

GoodGuy09109d ago

That, have longer dev time, and absolutely get rid of Nintendo as the exclusive platform. Imagine a AAA pkmn game on current consoles or next generation.

But money, they'll make billions with little effort.

badz149109d ago

you know that's never gonna happen

FinalFantasyFanatic109d ago

Gamer Freak, Creatures and Nintendo all have a stake in the Pokemon franchise, Nintendo especially will never let them go, I don't know how Creatures or Game Freak feels about it. Plus, the other two don't have a financial incentive to ditch Nintendo, they make mega bucks regardless. Although I think Nintendo should help Game Freak out more since they're clearly struggling, other they'll all just have to accept longer dev times and bigger gaps between games, or maybe just make some cheaper low-tier games in-between.

shinoff2183109d ago

Idk yall. I'd take a Pokémon jrpg over a Pokémon with guns, online play etc. Plus wasn't Pokémon mobile pretty fking big like 4 years ago then covid hit.

--Onilink--109d ago (Edited 109d ago )

Even Scarlet/Violet had sold 24million as of early November (and undoubtedly sold even more during the Holidays), its not like they are currently suffering.

Yes, there are plenty of things I would like Gamefreak to do better, and yes I happened to like Palworld, but not because its a Pokemon clone, because its not, but because its a good survival game, something that I have zero interest for the mainline Pokemon games to become.

Most publications keep bringing up these topic ls just for clicks, because clearly the game is your typical survival game (most who do well on PC) with some Pokemon sprinkled in and not a Pokemon competitor, the core gameplay loop is clearly just Ark with dinosaurs swapped for Pokemon like creatures

And again, while I’m enjoying the game itself, I hope it doesnt set a new precedent for what we expect from game devs these days because, based on their other games, this developer really seems to basically just try to go as close as possible to ripping off other games without getting into trouble and then not really following up on those projects as promised (Craftopia players seem particularly angry).

I doubt they ever expected the discourse around this game to reach this level of popularity to push those insane sales numbers, and they actually take the opportunity to increase the quality of their work

FinalFantasyFanatic109d ago (Edited 109d ago )

I'm going to say something somewhat controversial, the last set of Pokemon games weren't that bad, it wasn't a great game, but a good game if we ignore the performance issues (and I personally didn't have many bugs).

They just need more interesting towns and NPCs (give them interesting dialogue, there's literally no reasons to talk to NPCs), interesting areas/locations (like the sunken ship and Bellsprout Tower), and some decent side quest, there isn't really any interesting side quests in those games, and fix the barely there lore for the game (Idk even know what was going on with those 4 "legendary Pokemon"). And maybe add less new Pokemon into the next game so they can transition more of the older Pokemon into 3D.

I think Scarlet/Violet had the potential to go from a good game to a great game if they implemented most of those ideas, but they also needed more development time to optimise the game as well.

Profchaos109d ago

Yeah agree id take a remake of red in the style of the links awakening remake any day of the week

Profchaos109d ago

No they don't I don't want any of the gameplay anywhere near Pokemon the only link between them is the idea of Pokemon except there's guns you enslave humans and Pokemon and there's a survival aspect.

Pokemon is fairly family friendly can't see Nintendo going ok let's give them m16s and slaughter each other
