On a console with games like Super Mario Odyssey, Breath of the Wild and Xenoblade Chronicles 2, I really don't want Game Freak to release a Pokemon game now and then a year and a half later release a superior version (whether as a third version or "sequel") that renders the first purchase obsolete.
Switch is known for games getting updates and patches to improve performance and also to add new free content. The big games also get big DLC updates that are huge on content. Is there really any excuse for us to get an "Ultra" version of a Pokemon game this time around? I will be hugely disappointed if so. I'm quite confident that there is a possibility we will get Odyssey 2 and BotW 2 in some form this gen (see Galaxy 2 and Majora's Mask), but these will not render the first games obsolete and make them feel inferior.
What are your thoughts on the matter? Are you not fussed buying a Pokemon game yet again knowing that a better version might be available a year and a bit later, on a console where every other game is getting tons of updates and fixes, free additional content and huge DLC packs?
