An all-new core series Pokémon RPG title is coming to Switch in Late 2019

[Neoxon]

This is likely gonna be a more traditional Gen 8, if I had to guess.

UPDATE: Eurogamer just tweeted this from the press conference.

2019 core RPG (untitled) is set to be "in the style of X and Y and Sun and Moon". This should appease competitive players, with Let's Go! aimed at a broad audience, "a core RPG for everyone".

UPDATE 2: Yes, Gen 8 is for Switch.

Finally, Mr. Masuda returned to the stage to give us a tease at the next major project in development. While Pokémon Quest and Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! represent new and different play styles, he let fans know that a new Pokémon core RPG, developed by GAME FREAK, is planned for launch on Nintendo Switch in late 2019!

Thank god. The focus on Genwun in the Let's Go trailer was disappointing.

 

[Sou Da]

Thank fucking god.

 

[Schreckweg 5000]

With #PokemonQuest and #PokemonLetsGo, there are so many new ways to explore the world of Pokémon! Trainers can look forward to even more with an all-new core series Pokémon RPG title in development for the second half of 2019!

 

[Cybersai]

Gen 8 should be fantastic.

 

[Geg]

You know what this means! More Pokemon speculation threads on Era!!!!

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Redeemed than because I was highly upset

 

[Deleted member 2791]

they announced two mainline games at the same time what the fuck is happening

 

[Tribal_Cult]

OK they saved it. Of course they were not able to push this out for this year. I'm OK with this.

 

[L Thammy]

Did Game Freak split up the Let's Go announcement from the Gen 8 announcement to keep the genwunners and the rest of the fanbase at war?

Spoiler

no

 

[Turkoop]

Holy macaroni

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Core Game > Remake > Core Game pattern strikes again.

 

[Arc]

Will Era survive?

 

[ZeroGravity]

Pokemon saved.

They probably knew that the Let's Go games would be divisive, so they got ahead of the potential anger & announced what's probably gonna be Gen 8.

rip sinnoh, gen 4 won't get remade until they make gen 2 and 3 AGAIN

 

[ViewtifulJC]

And when we find out it's exclusive to the 3DS, I hope you have a bomb shelter near by

 

[Deleted member 42105]

Got my answer

 

[Deleted member 9145]

I'm slow af

 

[Executive Taxi]

Everybody wins. People who want a Pokemon game now gets it in November and can enjoy revisiting Kanto. The people who want a brand new game get it in 2019. I think this is the best timeline

 

[Cinemikel]

Pokemon speculation will never end. Ever. It will never stop

 

[Zippo]

Thank goodness. What a relief.

 

[YellowBara]

Thank fucking God.

 

[Mania]

Too much info to process! Has Nintendo clarified that this project will be Switch? It's safe to assume it will be, but still.

 

[Blugrass]

this train will always be goin

Wait wait wait. So lets go isn't a Kanto remake it's just some sort of spin-off? No gym battles or elite 4?

Let's Go is a Yellow remake in everything but name. They're Gen 7's remakes.

 

[Ginger Hail]

I'm excited for Let's Go and this. Gonna be interesting to see what they come up with next.

 

[rulerk1]

yes. Genwunners havent won yet!

 

[Magneto]

I don't care about Let's Go, so i'll wait for this one. Second half of 2019 tho' :'(

 

[Horror]

So REAL Pokemon and Metroid Prime 4 potentially in 2019? Sounds like the Odyssey/BotW one-two punch again.

 

[Kinsei]

Please don't be shit.

 

[EloquentM]

Damn y'all cry so much. There's nothing here to indicate let's go isn't a core series and that this 2019 title won't be in a similar vein. Cue all the comments saying "YES A REAL GAME NEXT YEARKFVJNSOAKDN"

Amazing how people manage to read the worst possible outcome eventhough there is nothing that would indicate it.

 

[9-Volt]

Ash will be stuck in Alola for one more year. Plus TCG should have enough expansions to cover until next gen arrives.

Yeah that's probably it, they just went way wilder than they're usually going with this remake.

Oh sweet. Thanks for the clarification. Too much info atm lol

 

[RockmanBN]

Good cause it looks like that one only had Kanto mons only.

 

[KayMote]

Honestly, after those Let's Go-Trailers I'm really relieved right now.

 

[Brawlz]

Good, good. Excited for both.

 

[Toumari]

I suspect the 2019 game will simply be in the same engine as the 2018 Switch game? Just a different location with new Pokemon.

 

[illmatic22]

Cool. Not feeling Let's go at all.

 

[Cinemikel]

Every single pokemon fan wins

 

[HibbySloth]

I'm willing to be this one is going to be more traditional, by that I mean it likely won't have Go inspired features.

 

[ChaserX]

Good. Enough time to comfortably buy a Switch since Pokemon games are what sell Nintendo systems for me.

 

[Ebtesam]

Switch Will sale Million units This Year and the Year After

 

[Brazil]

Oh, well. Wake me up in 2019 :(

 

[SweetNicole]

 

[Kanzeon]

Thank god. Let's Go looks like its for an entirely different market than me.

 

[Sou Da]

Said it in the other thread but Sinnoh fans got robbed.
