We know for sure that a flagship Pokémon game is coming to Nintendo Switch sometime in the future – Game Freak confirmed this back at 2017’s E3 show. We are very excited but there are few things really want to see in the next-gen Pokémon title. Here are some of them.
Nintendo and The Pokemon Company's Pokemon Gen 10, codenamed Gaia, will be exclusive to the upcoming Switch 2, based on a new rumor.
Is anyone expecting anything less? It will be exclusive to Switch 2 eventhough it will still look like a 3DS game
To be fair, The Pokemon Company operates quite independently, so it wouldn’t have been that strange for a Pokemon game coming out in just the 2nd year of the S2’s life to still be crossgen. I mean, just how long into the PS5 and SX life are we and we are still seeing plenty of crossgen stuff
not surprised.
nintendo was prepared to have some games sell the console.
im sure the game will still look like its from the ps2 era tho.
that is in part because of the chip shortage when everyone over reacted to sars in 2019.
I've lost interest in pokemon, the mega evolve stuff was a poor digimon rip off, then the stuttering mess the 3d versions are.
I'd love a remake of gold/silver in a top down view like lets go pikachu had, but sticking with the traditional pokemon mechanics.
Pokecology is a real book based on the behavioral science and ecology of Pokemon, and it's coming (to Japan) in mid-June.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are set to receive upgrades for the Nintendo Switch 2 to improve performance when the new console launches later this year.
I agree with everything in this list. For me what I want in a console Pokemon more than anything (and what we probably won't get) is for pokemon to be living and interactive in the overworld. Basically Monster Hunter World meets Witcher 3 but with Pokemon. I want to be able to get a tip about a Charmander burning crops outside of town then track him down and catch him. Things that make the world feel lived in.
some things that i've really wanted to see are:
1. platforming elements like jumping and climbing for exploration
2. customization, especially with key items. for instance, being able to customize bikes with different parts that open up new areas, or even fishing rods with customizable parts/baits
3. environment interaction. so many things such as fishing would be much more fun if there was a skill to it rather than just pressing the 'a' button. it would be a real joy to replace all of the mundane tasks with full-fledged "mini-games" that, depending on skill, allows rarer pokemon to be caught
4. ONLINE STORY/CO-OP!!!! being able to meet and explore with other players in the world is something that's been overlooked for way way way too long
I agree with everything except the turn based combat... Its a relic and been done in every single main series Pokemon game.
I'd like to see the battles be like smash bros. Think it would be a good mash up. Maybe allow the choice?
