Pokemon hadn’t been hinted at by Nintendo prior to the event, but there were certainly a good few rumors flying around that we’d see the franchise coming to the Switch. MCV had listed the series as potentially adding a title to the Switch’s library, meanwhile, more specific rumors further down the line suggested that the title would be a ‘special edition’ of Pokemon Sun and Moon called Pokemon Stars.

Unfortunately for Pokemon fans, Nintendo didn’t mention the beloved series once during the Switch event. Currently, it doesn’t look like Nintendo has anything in the works, or at least, nothing they want to announce just yet. We certainly hope we’ll get a Pokemon game on the Switch soon. After all, the hybrid nature of the console and the Pokemon franchise go hand in hand.

What did you make of Nintendo’s Switch event? Will you be picking up a Switch come March 3? Let us know down in the comments below.
