@UltimateOtaku91 agree on most of it but Pokémon is unlikely. legends isn't the issue it's that Pokémon games usually take 2 years after the release of a new system. Gen 3 in 2003 when the GBA launched in 2001. Gen 4 in 2006 two years after the DS in 04. Gen 6 in 2013 two years after the 3DS. Gen 8 two years after the Switch. Its not certain but Pokémon is tied to the franchise and the merch which means they want the biggest possible audience (meaning kids whose parents will not always want to be a new console when it's only come out that year) and a new console decreases that. I mean the 2DS and switch lite releasing as lower cost ways to get the system right before XY and SwSh released was a big part of that. Pokémon games are not system sellers per say, at least for the first two years of a systems life. But then absolutely after that. But then again two Pokémon gens is the most we have ever gotten on the same console so maybe gen 10 will be "switch 2". But I still see it as more likely to be Cross generation rather than solely the "switch 2"
