Pokemon Nintendo Switch
2017’s Biggest Gaming Announcements
Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon have just dropped, and the general reception was a positive one. However, it was clear that they weren’t that different to Sun and Moon – making it obvious they’re trying to tide us over while they develop a Pokemon title for the Nintendo Switch. The announcement that a mainline Pokemon Switch title is coming may have passed many by, but it’s colossal news for the series as a whole. This will be the first mainline Pokemon title not on Nintendo’s dedicated portable system, but on the Switch – meaning it’ll be playable on the big screen.
The announcement itself was made in a very casual setting during Nintendo’s E3 presentation, with the Pokemon Company president almost casually telling the audience it was coming. This is why it could’ve passed many by – there were no flashy lights or loud music. But this announcement is easily one of the most important of the entire year.
