Get Ready for a Pokémon Direct on 6th June

What are some of the games rumored? Anything Switch?

Yeah

Now I want the direct fairy to bring us Pokémon gen 2 on vc and more Pokémon games.

Unless its a main series Pokemon game for Switch, I won't be interested.

If they do announce a Pokemon game for switch. How are they really gonna keep up with demand. .

they are already struggling as is to get consoles out there

I don't know why everyone wants Stars. Diamond and Pearl-Remakes are where it's at!

Seems like Nintendo isn't happy enough with where their stock is!

This better be a proper Pokemon adventure for the Switch!

Gen 2 for 3ds, Pokemon stars and probably a new game for the switch early 2018 or holiday and switch will really take off

Magikarp Jump for the Nintendo Switch.

I swear, the way I get excited everytime a new direct gets announced makes me wonder how much have I really grown up.

Inb4 Diamond and Pearl remakes on 3DS.

Here we go again.

Guess TPC didn't want to break their streak of not revealing new games at E3.

A direct a week before E3 is a surprise to say the least. Expect pokemon star ,pokken tournament and a remake of diamond and pearl

O...M...G!

Hype train indeed!

Pokemon Snap 2?

Time for the true power of the Switch to be unveiled!

Pokemon shooter, Pokemon MMO, Pokemon RTS, Pokemon Dating Sim and other 15 Pokemon spin-offs.

@Arnold-Kage Oh man almost forgot about pokken tournament.switch port please.

@GoldenGamer88 Too soon, I'd rather have another Alola game. Also, they would probably mess it up.

What if Pokemon Stars is the codename for the Diamond and Pearl remakes?

Tomorrow will be interesting to say the least. Hope for some pokemon switch games.

Really hope it's a main Pokémon game announcement for Switch (and not a spin-off or Pokken Tournament). I'd love it to be Pokémon Stars or maybe an HD remaster of Fire Red/Leaf Green for the Switch, complete with access to Pokémon Bank!

Seems odd that they would announce anything big a week before E3... Not really a pokemon fan myself, but if I was I wouldn't be getting my hopes up. Feels to me more like something small they don't want to get lost in the E3 shuffle. If they're gonna announce something like a mainline pokemon game for Switch now, the E3 plans would have to be huge to bump it.

8 minutes are more than enough to press a Switch.

@daveh30 It worked last year, there was the small Direct for gen 1 3DS VC and a Sun/Moon teaser and then Sun/Moon gameplay started off Nintendo's E3.

@Juma009 i don't even know when they started doing the directs, but sometime about 5 years ago i started paying more attention to them. I think i got more of my news from nintendo power back in the day.

now in my early 30s, ill take off work or schedule my day around a Direct. its a small but simple and exciting thing some days!

Finally, Pokémon Snap 2 on Switch.

3DS related or a spinoff game, just so to annoy everyone that's hoping for a Switch version of SunMoon/Gen4 remakes. lol

I'm guessing either a Pokken port on Switch or Stars for... 3DS.

Yes! I'm in the mood for a Pokemon direct!

Hopefully we'll hear something about Pokemon Stars.

(Wouldn't mind Detective Pikachu coming to the west either)

If a proper Switch game is coming, it would be revealed during E3. Not four days before during an 8 minute direct.

Pokemon Diamond Sun and Pokémon Pearl Moon announcement incoming. It will be the Black2/White2-style sequel and will include a trip to Sinnoh after beating the Elite 4 in Alola (can't rightly remember Gen 7 region name).

I doubt it's Switch related. The Switch is the focus of E3 this year. I bet it will be mobile games and a game for the 3DS.

Or it is and eight minute video concerning the release of Marshadow....

@Nik-Davies To be fair in the past they've announced Pokemon games (like ORAS) in a direct and then gone into more detail on them at E3.

I could totally see them giving a brief look at a Switch game in this direct and have more information for it at E3.

@Pokefanmum82 The Pokemon company are kind of their own machine though. They're not tied to Nintendo at the hip. I could see what I mentioned above happening though.

@Dizzard Whilst I can't remember 100%, but weren't they still revealed months before E3?
We're literally a few days away, and a rumoured Pokemon game is highly anticipated and would make a huge announcement. I really don't think they would waste that potential on this.

Please Switch and not 3DS

"Pokkén Tournament Deluxe" for Switch please!

Special NEW 2DS bundle...

It's happening!!!

Just watch as a new Pokémon game is announced exclusively for 3DS only lolol

I also love how Gamefreak/Nintendo will continue the trend of never announcing Pokémon games at E3...even if it means making said announcements an EXACT week before Nintendo's E3 event.

Honestly any kind of Pokemon game for the Switch would be appreciated. I'd like Stars to be a thing but I'll take some spin-off too.

@bluedogrulez
Last November, Eurogamer reported that the 3rd version of Pokémon Sun/Moon, codenamed Pokémon Stars, was in development for the Switch. If there is any one rumored game that will most likely be announced during the upcoming Pokémon Direct, it's this one.

More recently, some retailer listings have revealed that Pokken Tournament may potentially be ported to the Switch, but that could just be a mistake.

"What do you hope to see revealed?"

Online trading update for Red/Blue/Yellow. A nerd can dream.

I bought Moon last December and have progressed at a very leisurely pace due to other simultaneously attended projects (mainly WoFF, FFX2 and even still Pokemon Blue storyline at that point), so with a ton to play through and discover ahead, I don't know of I would be in the market for a "Stars" re-release myself. But among side games? I've actually fantasized a sort of grander "spiritual successor" to Snap - a kind of "Pokemon Safari" looking not unlike BotW and having your character travel and explore an open world to discover and photograph various pokemon for the magazine you work for and maybe even raising some ecological awareness among the public. Different landscapes including urban territories, stealth and Uncharted-esque parkour mechanics to get close to rare species in wild habitats and so on. But that's a silly fan fantasy.

I really don't know what to expect for Pokémon anymore, so the hype for this Direct is kinda lost on me. Will still watch it, though I'll probably be coming off work by the time it starts, so I won't be able to catch it live unfortunately.

Man, please let this be for Switch. The internet would explode.

It will be either:

A Direct to talk about the upcoming Pokemon mobile title, and advise you that a Pokemon game is coming to Switch but don't expect it at E3.

Or:

A Direct discussing a new 3DS title as well as the upcoming mobile title, but don't expect to see it that at E3 either.

Either way, tears will flow.

Pokemon Colosseum 3 when?? I wanna go back to Orre

@westman98: Thanks! I read this site daily, but used to treat Pokemon news as white noise, but now my son is really into it.

I bet it's another free-2-play game 😂

All aboard the hype train!!

@liljmoore

First title that came to me for the switch. With all the arcade dlc please.

As always, I'll keep my expectations in check. Overhyping things almost always ends badly, especially when waiting for games.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THIS JUST TOOK ALL THE DREAD AND PAIN OF MY GCSES AWAY IM GONNA SMASH MY EXAMS AND DO GREAT AND POKÉMON AND GEN 4 OR STARS BUT EITHER WAY POKÉMON IS ALL I NEED TO CHEER ME UP AND IM SO EXCITED AND AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

pokemon zombies

Just please be for Switch and not 3DS. I love the old thing but ready to move on.

It'll be mobile.

They're not gonna announce Pokemon for Switch before e3

Pokecity and Stars info incoming.

8 mins seems too long for them to talk about just one thing... I'd expect a new game reveal to be half that at best for a teaser, and far longer for a gameplay preview.
So if they do reveal Stars, then they will almost certainly have other things to talk about.
Pokken Tournament is an obvious one, as an update to the arcade content is long overdue.
They could also talk about the smart phone games to an extent, with the PokeLand alpha test having recently begun, Magikarp Jump recently being released, and Pokemon GO expecting an update to their gym system soon.
They could also be announcing PokeLand for 3DS/Switch.

Pokémon Stars? Pokémon Stadium 3/Switch? Pokémon Snap 2/Switch? That'd be huge.

Pokkén Tournament 2/Switch though, not so much.

@JaxonH

They've never done a direct featuring just mobile games. It's virtually guaranteed that there will be a Pokemon game releasing on Switch and/or 3DS. Whether that's Stars or Pokken Tournament Deluxe or something else, that's anyone's guess. Really hope they release Stars for Switch though.

Also, about the E3 comments that you and others have posted — that's the logical decision to make ... except the Pokemon Company has NEVER announced a mainline Pokemon game at E3. So something like an announcement during the direct and gameplay shown at E3 could be possible.

@Juma009 growing up is overrated: p

Hoping for a big Switch reveal, expecting a Pokémon Go summer update.

What the hell???? Whats reserved for E3? ?

@shadow-wolf
It's gotta have something for consoles or handheld, I know they wouldn't hold a direct just for mobile, I guess I should've said 3DS/mobile

Secretly I wonder if they'll announce Stars for Switch, but I just can't fathom them not announcing that at e3

While Pokemon Stars and Pokken with the Arcade updates for Switch are expected, I still don't understand the logic of dumping this information just a week before E3.

Nintendo really underestimates the impact of E3 for announcements in general.

People who don't normally do so are actively searching out information on games during E3. It's why people save their announcements for it.

I don't want to sound douchy, but to all those who say "Nintendo has always done this", "Nintendo has always done that", please remember that the things you mention mostly or entirely happened when Iwata was still president.
Iwata was a good man, a great programmer and a dreamer, he had incredible intuitions like DS and Wii, but he was no businessman. Kimishima, though, is, and I don't think we can expect Nintendo to behave as they've always done with this new president. Whether this will be a good or a bad thing is still not completely clear, but the marketing for Switch speaks volumes, according to me.
I really hope for a mainline game for Switch, but I'll probably take whatever.

Guys, Nintendo has never had a Pokemon Direct only announcing Pokemon spin-offs. There will be a mainline Pokemon game shown off, or otherwise this Direct wouldn't exist.

I'd laugh if they just announced the Pokken Tournament port and called it a day.

Why not save this for E3?

@Lumine That'll be a win/win for me, actually, so HAH! >:3

I'm not too interested in Pokemon but this is cool news. My only thought is that assuming its a Switch related announcement, be it a port like PStars or a new game, the Switch stock shortage problem is going to be amplified by a million. There will be riots in the streets...haha

Pokken, Snap and Stars for sure

(GASP)
Pokemon for Switch ?!
Please someone tell me what time for West Indonesia Zone if 10 am Eastern ?

If it is "Stars" I wouldn't be surprised if it came out on 3ds and Switch.

Pokémon Shuffle 2 with wobbles like the Yokai Watch Mobile game Wibble Wobble but more playable...?

@bluedogrulez Pokemon Stars and Pokken Tournament for the Switch

I hope it's Pokemon Stars and it's exclusive to Switch, even though I still want the 3DS to be supported for at least all of 2018.

Well this is a surprise. I just hope its something for Switch. I don't quite believe the Stars rumors out there, but I'm open to being proven wrong. Either way, this might actually be very interesting - more information will be provided at E3 no doubt. Looking forward to it.

Pokken Tournament on Switch.

Pokemon Stars on 3DS.

Book it.

IT PRINTS MONEY!

I really wouldn't be surprised if we got Stars on 3ds and Switch like Fire Emblem warriors. Anyway this is weird considering E3 is literally next week. Would have thought they'd reveal it there. Maybe we'll get a logo and then some gameplay next week. I just don't want Diamond and Pearl remakes on the 3ds. I want to see Sinnoh in glorious HD!

Pokken Tournament port is pretty much the only thing I want announced for Switch.

Sigh

So this is a bad thing like the online thing. It's not for switch and they want to get rid of the bad press before E3

Damn ;_;

@GoldenGamer88 Shenanigans! Clearly a Gold/Silver remake is where it's at!

Also, not really sure why Nintendo would announce something as huge as a Switch mainline Pokemon game now. Seems like that would be best done at E3. Still, hopefully that's what they annouce.

Guys, keep in mind that 2 out of the last 3 Pokémon Directs were announcements for new main games (in fact they were new generations) and the one that wasn't was for Bank. Anytime they have a Pokémon Direct it's major, franchise changing news. So certainly they'll be announcing a new main game and probably not just any old game either since they didn't announce ORAS in a Direct. I hate to say it because the idea is terrible but this does sound like the confirmation of the Stars rumor, I can't think of anything else that could be that major.

I'm hoping it's Pokemon Stars ! Nintendo needs to continue the amazing hype it has with the Switch .

Digimon... i'll get my coat

Wow that is some super short notice.

I don't think there will be anything on Switch, but I do hope for Gen 2 VC!

HeartGold, SoulSilver, this is @roadrunner343. roadrunner343, they are HeartGold and SoulSilver. I hope the three of you will get along just fine.

Pokemon Snap 2!!!!!

@GoldenGamer88 Clearly, I'm referring to something much more modern =) A full blown 3D remake.

My god, it's full of stars.

It seems likely it'll be a 'Stars' reveal if it's Switch related, but I'd rather a new main Pokemon game for Switch than a Sun and Moon port. Something to show off the system. It better wow me, Nintendo. Lol.

A pokemon game on swtich with graphical style like Guilty Gear Xrd would be marvelous !

I'm hoping for Pokken on Switch,with all the content of the arcade version in the cartridge.

@roadrunner343 If that is what you want, I'd want that for Kanto! ... or Sinnoh. Just thinking of what a Pokémon game could look like on Switch, I'd take anything, remake of a remake, new remake, new mainline game or even a spin-off. As long as it's for Switch. Which I highly doubt is the case for tomorrow. Gush, it's so hard going back to 3DS now that we have Switch.

@Adhrast But before Iwata, there was Yamauchi. The businessman to make all other businessmen hide in shame. Even Kimishima's a squishy nice guy next to the iron fist of Yamauchi.

So the "Nintendo never did X" really applies to the hardline businessman angle too.

Please be a good reveal. We need something to make up for today's disappointing announcements from Capcom and EA.

If it's Pokemon on the Switch, that bad boy will overtake Wii U sales in a years time. Shattering Wii U sales I should say.

The pokemon company has an EXTRA $100million dollars ro play with this year lol .. they won't want to see their profits drop. . . They must be doing something huge!

Not a big surprise, there's a lot going on with Pokémon when you think about it. Might as well get the announcements out of the way.

I'd say Stars or something similar will be announced. Not sure if it will be for Switch, or for 3DS with another Switch game announced as being in development. One or the other. This would be a good way to knock the wind out of a new portable from Sony if rumors are true.

Pokken Tournament for Switch makes sense. An update on Pokemon Go or Pokeland seem like a given. This could be a busy 8 minutes.

Pokemon Amiibo Festival!

I'm starting to feel like this will be a Pokemon go direct.

Cool if they reveal a new 1/2 gen, but they have to call it something else. Sounds too much like Pocket Monsters to call it this.

Could be a remake too, in which case I'll make sure to be asleep in preparation for how much I care about remakes.

Anyway, who are we kidding, it's going to be a bunch of mobile stuff and then maybe a 1/2 Gen or remake announcement right at the end.

I think it will be 8 minutes of the CEO counting money and if we are very lucky, he might actually say thank you to us

A main line Pokemon game on switch would litteraly print monies

Its going to be Pokemon x Rabbids crossover obviously.

The last Pokemon Direct was a three minute victory lap for the franchise with a few seconds of new stuff. Here's hoping we won't get seven minutes of patting their backs.

Will tomorrow be the day when I finally want a Direct? My money is on 3DS Diamand and Pearl remakes, or a 3DS Sun and Moon director's cut or sequel.

I know we should all never raise our expectations too high, but lets not do the opposite either and drop expectations too low either.

Nintendo has never had a Pokémon Direct where the only relevant game announcement was a Pokémon mobile game or spin-off. To further clear things up, Junichi Masuda has retweeted this Direct's announcement on Twitter, which he only does when announcements/news regarding a mainline Pokémon game is imminent. This makes sense, as Gamefreak only develops the mainline Pokémon games and not the spin-offs or mobile games.

A new mainline Pokémon game will be a announced at this Direct. Whether that will be Pokémon "Stars" or not and whether the game will be on Switch and/or 3DS is unknown, but don't expect the Direct to be 8 minutes of fluff and giggles.

@GrailUK lol, 8 minutes of Kimishima making it rain yen into the camera while Koizumi and Miyamoto pop bottles in the background on a big white leather sofa. All in slow mo as well.

But yeah a Pokemon game on Switch would be rather big news.

To show a new Pokémon RPG right now, only a half-year after the releaase of the last one would be a great joke to all their consumers. No matter how badly those people want to already purchase yet another version, it is still a nice way to insult their intelligence.

Nobody mentions the possibility of a simple "port", like what CAPCOM did (while making it sound like a giant news).

Will someone please help me understand why Nintendo/Game Freak insist on making their Pokemon announcements outside of E3?
Wouldn't it make more sense to put this 8 min video in as part of the Digital Presentation that we're going to get in only 1 week?
I'm assuming there's a good reason, but I certainly don't understand what it is and I would like to understand.

I hope it's a remake

@Spoony_Tech Might be okay depending on when the game comes out if it is a mainline game (especially if it's a new one).

Pokémon S and M was announced last year in February and ended up coming out in November. A new game could potentially be announced today and released next year in March. I don't believe that would impact the stock situation too much. Now if it's announced for this year that could be a huge problem.

That's providing that we get a new game announcement. For all we know it could just be all spinoffs announced or 3DS only new game.

140 new emoji pikachus added to pokemon shuffle

@memoryman3 I expect E3 to be all Switch and that if this were a Switch announcement we'd see it next week, not now. I think this will be a 3DS game.

It's already been leaked. 8 mins...enough time to inform everyone that they are packing up and moving to sunny Spain. No more Pokémon. It would have been longer, but Ishihara san has 12 suitcases of luggage and he has to pack em all.

@PanurgeJr It most likely will be just a 3DS game, the backlash should be fun though.

Hoping for Gen 4 remakes and Pokken port. Would be fine with Stars or whatever they decide to call it however. A new Mystery Dungeon would also be a nice surprise.

I think that this Pokémon Direct will be very much like the Fire Emblem Direct earlier this year. First they will announce Pokémon Stars for 3DS launching this holiday. Next they will focus on the new Pokémon mobile game. Last they will announce that a new Pokémon game is in development for Switch for launch holiday 2018. There will be no footage of the game, just an announcement that it is coming.

Why are they announcing a new game with E3 just a week from now? Wouldn't it be smarter to save it for then?

@Wouwter oh dear goodness, just please...no...

At this point, I don't think it makes a difference if a new game is announced now or at E3. It isn't gonna make it arrive any faster or add any extra luster to the game.

What am I expecting? Either the rumored Stars, the (much wanted and now highly speculated) D&P remakes or just a Direct dedicated to a spinoff, which is something i have come to expect from Nintendo (And i don't mean that with any resentment or disappointment). Whatever it is, I keep in mind that all Nintendo has done is announce a Direct and nothing more. Any other expectations are all on the public

Let me add personally if (and its a pipe dream at this point) Pokémon Snap 2 were announced, that would be a bit of a win for me. Its been quite a shame with so many more Pokémon and regions added since that we haven't had a new one

Whether it's about a new main series game or not, it's a Pokemon Direct! It's rare that I see stars on a Monday!

Last years Pokémon direct was just over 6 minutes and they managed a Pokémon advert, a trailer for Sun/Moon, announce the Gameboy games on 3DS eShop and talk about the Pokemon bank. They got an extra 1minute 30 this time around...

If you're having trouble finding a Switch at retail and avoiding the inflated prices you may want to settle on never owning a Switch or paying whatever now because if they announce a mainline Pokemon game for Switch tomorrow those inflated prices are gonna blow up or you'll be waiting so much longer for one at reguler price.

Unless they are able to really amp up that production.

(Reads subtitle)
A Star turn, or a Platinum Return? Better yet...

We all know about Pokemon Stars for 3DS, but many people are hoping for Switch Pokemon. Personally I think it'll be about the mobile Pokemon game. Of course there is a big gap between Splatoon 2 and Super Mario Odyssey that can be filled with games...

Didn't we just have a Pokemón direct a few months ago? Let's show some love to some other franchises, Nintendo! Where my Metroid direct at?!?!?

Main line Pokémon game for Switch please. It's about time to move them to HD and homeconsoles. But hey, you can still play it in handheld mode, Switch is a hybrid console after all.

Pleeeeeeaase don't waste a Pokémon Switch game on Pokémon Rumble! Literally anything else. I would rather take a poke wallpaper background for my Switch than THAT spin off...

Lol 3ds don't need Pokemon games.it has enough already, hello people switch needs Pokemon.

@RatKing64 I think the same, and said exactly the same thing to a friend early today.

@DoctorWily No, we didn't. Last time you had one "Sun" and "Moon" was not even out yet IIRC.

@shonenjump86 i would be FINE with that! i don't care what it is, as long as it's for switch. a TCG would be cool too

https://www.house-mixes.com/profile/Umegames/play/poke-love---nas-vs-pokemon

Hopefully this will be news about another great game release for Switch. My wallet is ready.

Pokken Tournament on Switch anyone? or is it just me that would like that.

Plot twist, they announce games only for 3ds

I'll take either Gen 4 remakes or Pokemon Stars. Must at least be on 3DS, NO gen 1 remakes.

I bet it will be a Pokémon stadium/Battle Revolution type game releasing this year. This would allow them to make all of the models in HD instead of doing all that and making a game on top of that.

Not holding my breath for Stars after what happened to Grey and Z.

We're due Gen 2 VC on 3DS, Diamond and Pearl remakes (also 3DS, I doubt anything on Switch yet) and Pokken Tournamnet on Switch seems a no brainer.

Am I right in saying the direct starts at 11pm In Japan? I can never work time zones out. 🌞🌝✨

@Fandabidozi But Grey is B2&W2, there's still a chance.

@Paddle1
Oh yeah, lol. I always forget about B&W2. I'd love a continuation of S&M rather than the same story with a bit tacked on at the end so that'd be great.

I predict Pokken "Deluxe" and a vague teaser for a main series release on Switch this fall.

@daveh30
We are riding the same wave. I waited to let my initial excitement waiver, and I have to say that the announcement of a main stream entry for the Switch is E3 worthy.

I think we could be seeing an announcement of a couple Iphone/Samsung mobile games, and an announment for a 3ds title. The only thing that keeps hope alive is I have been told Big N has been known to be a little....unorthodox at times lol.

Pokken 2 for switch? If it is i want more pokemon in it and even a storymode would be nice.

@Minel_UK "Pokémon Dating Sim"

Expect a mobile Free game 😂.
Or expect another 3ds title...
Come on Nintendo, make the switch your Handheld, there is no point of a hybrid If you don't support It as such. Pokémon stars on switch, make It happen . If not, then they don't like money. If It isn't a main lime game on switch, I will not care.

Please Nintendo, no trolling like in the Fire emblem direct.

The best thing to realistically hope for is Diamond/Pearl remakes. I'd hope that they use what Platinum added (fixed, really) as the basis for the remake, but Game Freak often does strange (stupid) things in development.

A pipe dream would be an HD collection of Pokemon Colosseum and XD for the Switch. I think a Pokken port is bound to happen eventually, but it'd be weird to announce that with their new fighting game IP launching soon.

@RaphaBoss
As long as it's not a lemon. 😋

I'd love it if we got a game similiar to Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness on the Switch. That would be the announcement that would excite me. Though I might be interested by the possibilities of a new Snap or Channel given all the new content to draw from.

Pokemon Stars would not excite me. Alola as a region just doesn't strike my fancy, and White 2 was the last mainline game I enjoyed (I still need to pick up Omega Ruby).

oh yes! Bring it on!

@PlywoodStick vast crowds in Japan are literally queuing around the block to take part in a lottery for the chance to throw money at a screen of your suggestion.

This is either going to go extremely well and launch the world of Nintendo and Switch into even more frenzy or a huge amount of people will create a huge wave of angry backlash at the latest mobile game advert or update.

Its almost too much too handle.

@LinkSword Which is very, very likely to be exactly what this is. 'Look! We put Pokemon on Switch!! Kinda'.

I love Nintendo, but I just can't see this being anything major.

@NintendoFan4Lyf Nintendo hasn't used E3 for Major game reveals in years.
They use the Direct broadcasts for that now.

@Jeronan I've also read that E3 doesn’t have a big impact in Japan as it does in the west so that might another reason to chose do the announcement in a direct.

I’m hoping for a S/M third game or sequel, D/P remakes or a new trip to Kanto due to the random post on their tweeter account.

What I hope for: 1) Any kind of Pokémon-game for the Switch 2) Pokémon Snap 2 (Switch) 3) Pokémon Stars (Switch) 4) Old Pokémon-games on Switch-Virtual-Console

@HannesDroid Yikes..... Pokemon VC...... That's something I hadn't considered.

'Here's all of our old Pokemon games, at £10 each with nothing in the way of new features'!

Christ, I hope that's not true, but it seems in-line.

Pokemon stars switch and 3ds.leaks

No, not Pokémon Stars as most people claim. If anything, it will be a remake of Diamond and Pearl. That would make more sense.

@Paddle1
Well done on predicting S&M2. You could give Detective Pikachu a run for his money! 😃
