Brash Games: Pokémon is in my opinion, the biggest RPG franchise there has been in gaming, selling millions in each of it’s iterations. It is also viewed as a kids game, it’s anime playing on kids tv channels, plush dolls of Pikachu selling in any good game shop along with the card game. While I am not a mega fan, I am happy to admit I did love the recent game Pokémon X/Y. It came out during the 3ds’s resurgence to prominence from obscurity. Curiously, I admit I hadn’t played a Pokémon game since Pokémon Snap on the N64, but I was wanting to give it a go again, and the result has been, I have been converted to a fan. So naturally, I had to pre-order the newest addition.
Hardcore Gamer: It’s been awhile since we’ve gotten to see characters from Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. Years ago the release of Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby were a big hit. Most recently however, you could battle leaders of Team Aqua and Team Magma in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. So, maybe that’s why a couple of new 3DS themes are being released.
App Trigger: "Much of the magic of the original Pokemon games centered around how we played with others. For Pokemon Switch, a new approach is needed."
After pouring hundreds of hours over 10 years into the beloved Pokemon series, Gazette gaming columnist Jake Magee’s time with it might be coming to an end, he writes.
TL;DR:
"I don't want to buy a Switch, The Pokemon Company is obviously developing Pokemon games for the Switch, so I am no longer going to play Pokemon."
There. That's basically everything in two sentences.
