Topic: Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee!

@Buizel Even if both versions were developed there were ways to better leverage Smash 4U to Weekend-at-Bernie's the Wii U. Releasing the 3DS (the current gen system with the largest install base at the time) version first removed any possibility that the game could be a system seller for Wii U. It was like Nintendo gave up on the Wii U in effect before they actually gave up on making games and pushing the system at large.

If they wanted to really push the Wii U Nintendo could have announced SmashforU on its own, waited to see how that sold, and then surprise released the unannounced Smash 4DS a few months later.

The key thing to remember is that the 3DS wasn't initially a success, decisions like the massive 2013 lineup and Smash coming to 3DS may have come as a result of trying to save the system in 2011. If a Nintendo home console fails, that's not a massive problem for them because the handheld is almost always a big success and makes up for the failure but if the handheld fails then Nintendo is in big trouble.

So according to the Pokemon subreddit, apparently Nintendo UK opened a "Register for an announcement" page for Pokemon Switch (https://store.nintendo.co.uk/games/nintendo-switch/pokemon.list). Looks like an announcement is incoming next week.

@Tsurii Whelp, that’s not reminescent of Phantom Dust at all...

@shadow-wolf I'm having a hard time finding information on that in the pokemon subreddit. Interesting, but expected if the is actually a game. I'm just so tired of waiting to find out

Just think, if Pokemon isn't announced by May 31st we can discredit a lot of leakers.

@YummyHappyPills
And if it is, we can discredit many more 😉
(Because we'll know how the game is)

@NapalmPsalm Yeah I should’ve posted the link to the subreddit post as well. But NintendoLife posted about it too so you can look at that article.

@KaiserGX Interesting but definitely no way to confirm if they’re real or not. I feel we’d find that out by the end of E3 though.

Judging by the Project_Eevee twitter account it seems we'll find out when the reveal is sometime tomorrow (28th May) Japan time.

"1:21 I will let you know the time of the night. Today was a good 🌙 day.
Take a rest and prepare for tomorrow. The good night with the E-buoy ･ ･ "

@Grumblevolcano Why?

@Octane See above

It could mean an announcement tomorrow, but it could just as easily be something we're taking out of context.

Who knows. The game will come when it comes. This is almost as insufferable as the January Direct waiting and NX reveal waiting.

Amazing how Nintendo fans can hype themselves up for something into a frenzy and then complain when the company involved didn't even do anything -.-

@YummyHappyPills E-boy? This ain't God of War, that's Eevee.

You shouldn't read too much into it, they call every day a ''special day'', and the ''good night/good morning'' Tweets happen nearly every single day.

But it could be a hint...

@Octane I aint reading into it. I dont care. Just reporting and expandibg on what was alluded to is all.

The announcement will come when its time. I made peace with that.

Cant wait for Pokemon Patience and Pokemon Virtue

We still have 4 days left of May, if rumours are to be believed about Pokemon being revealed this month. But I’m not expecting anything to happen though I still think there’s going to be a release this year.

The situation is pretty much it's either a 2018 game revealed before E3 or a 2019 game revealed after E3. Next week is going to say a lot about the situation for sure.
