Nintendo does not need Pokémon to hit their sales target.
A rushed Pokémon would do more harm than good.
Game Freak struggles with the 3DS, let them have their sweet time with Switch fgs.

lmao ive followed Pokemon since Gen 1. I know what to expect from Gamefreak. I didn't mean Dragon Quest XI jump in quality. I just mean any sort of significant jump from 3ds to an HD console game. I don't see it happening in that short of a time
It wouldn't harm in anything and could probably save their poor performance with women and kids demographics (+maybe their japanese numbers stop being ridiculous).
Well, SSB won't be enough so it means another big game will be released this year if true... And I can only see Retro Studios on it.
You're taking a risk I think :)
I wouldn't be surprised if they keep their heavy hitter (as well as a new MK) for 2019.
In 2018 they're going to have Smash & probably Bayo 3 for the Holidays imo, and something like Animal Crossing I imagine.
Of course it would, people are getting tired of Pokémon games, especially hardcore fans, Game Freak have a bad streak since XY, the whole 3DS generation was a huge mess, they cannot afford another XY. If not for Pokémon Go who knows how forgotten the Pokémon franchise would be right now.
And Animal Crossing reels in more women than Pokémon. Kids about the same most likely.
2011, and by Creatures. Game Freak does environment and character models (as well as outsourcing partners). With the division of roles, Pokemon Switch is gonna more test GF's ability to realize worlds that would be expected of the Switch hardware and a full game pricing
Nobody is getting tired of Pokémon as it is besides this forum. SM sold more than XY launch aligned and USUM broke Emerald and Platinum numbers just recently. Can't even say it's just GO when XY and ORAS sold well - I say that as someone who only finds XY ok and ORAS the worst game in the franchise.
Phantom Thief Where is your waifu?! Are you ok? I'm worried now. That's not Makoto.
Also if you want to eat cardboard that badly just eat it lol.

I've been saying Spring 2019 in every thread regarding this topic. Every Pokemon Generation has been at least three years, and it doesn't make sense for a new generation on Switch to require even less development time than earlier games.
If it's Fall 2019, then that would actually be later than I expect it. Whether it's Spring 2019 or Fall 2019, the priority is for Game Freak to get it right.

Every Pokémon thread is the same thing.
I hope y'all are ready to pay $60 for whatever Game Freak has to offer.

While true, this upcoming game could very well not be a gen 8 game.
A game selling well doesn't mean it's been well received. You can tell Pokémon games are burning faster now. They don't last long on charts because word of mouth is bad. It's only selling well because of the explosive start (hype and brand, both recently on the rise thanks to Go).
I'm going with 2019. Nintendo will hit their Switch sales targets -- or likely punch above them -- very easily with Smash Bros. and Fire Emblem this holiday, plus whatever unannounced first-party and third-party content gets revealed at E3 and beyond. Development-wise, Game Freak is traditionally slow; business-wise, Nintendo doesn't need it this year.
That was Creature, although I guess Gamefreak made the textures and animations for their games. However, when it comes to 3D modeling from Gamefreak, the examples are everything, but the pokemon, which...well, let's hope they've had a lot of practice
A game selling well is what keeps the games coming. Companies don't give a shit about critical reception when they're still making massive amounts of bank. They'd be perfectly fine and probably exactly the same without Go.
Also Sun and Moon were critica darlings at release, literally only thi forum is down on it.
I find it difficult to believe that Nintendo would list Pokemon as "2018 or beyond" in their latest financials (recent as of a week ago) if they didn't think there was at least a chance of it releasing this year. If they know it's not going to make it, they would have already changed the expected date.
Nah, Creatures would have made the textures as well. GF probably scaled them down for the 3DS
They kinda do. Smash alone won't cut it, & Animal Crossing (while big) is nowhere near as big as Pokémon.
Well Pokemon ORAS came out the same day as Smash for the 3DS. They haven't been really following that motto too much when it comes to the Holiday season.
Smash 3DS and ORAS were about a month and a half apart in the US, where do you live?
No matter what ends up happening, if Nintendo thinks they can afford to have Smash as their only 2018 heavy hitter, I will take that as cockiness from their part.
Smash is my favourite franchise of all times but I still believe they need another strong title. It doesn't have to be Pokémon but it would certainly be the strongest megaton to go along Smash in order to hold against Spiderman+RDR2+KH3.
E3 will tell us all anyway. An exciting new IP or Animal Crossing would do the job as well.

I like how we've all got their lineup figured out without seeing anything
That's the one safe assumption anybody could make about the Switch titles.
With the current rumors, it's not exactly a safe assumption anymore.
Smash, Fire Emblem, and something else along with a $50 Black Friday price cut would get them to 20 million units easily.
And if Pokemon is coming out Spring 2019, we would be seeing it right around then.

Why not, a new system always meant a new generation.
Game Freak already said that US/UM were the last mainline Pokémon games on the 3DS.
I think it's coming out holiday. Holiday 2019 that is. Game Freak hasn't developed an HD Pokémon game before and Sun/Moon came out in late 2016. Even if they started before Sun/Moon was done 2016-2018 is still a short cycle especially considering the circumstances.
