Emily Rogers releases information regarding Pokemon Switch (reveal to be this month)

Find it hard to see it being Pokemon Go, is not like "Pokémon X" doesn't have enough pull for itself, and Pokemon Go would create some weird expectations about the game.
I would literally applaud if it was "Pokémon GO X" just for the sheer ridiculousness of it.

Yo I'd be down for this. Granted, there would need to be actual gameplay. Which I suppose would mean I would not be down for that. So, I guess just give me Red/Blue with some nice graphics and I'll be happy. Hell, even a port of FireRed/LeafGreen.
While it seems you're not giving credence to Emily Rogers' previously correct "leaks," I'm inclined to agree. Unless she's giving us a hint, the answer in the OP sounds like speculation. I mean, how would the core of Pokemon Go even be possible on a wifi-only device?
This picture/supposed hint suddenly makes a lot more sense:
I know a lot of people hate on leakers teasing, but if it turns out that he did actually hide a ton of info about the next games through these drawings I'll be decently impressed, watching people comb over and try to decipher his pics has at least brought some entertainment from this wait.
It's gonna have to use the smart phone app somehow since switch can't really be online when your moving around in portable mode unless there are WiFi spots everywhere.
Im up for a gameplay shake up for Pokémon hopefully it's drastically different

Even if this turns out to be a red herring, or if we're all super overthinking this, I think the main takeaway here is that a lot of us, most of us even, have overlooked or have underestimated how the phenomenon that was Pokemon GO might have influenced Game Freak and what they prioritize going into developing this game.
Do I need to specify really? Kanto is really barebones and most cities don't have interesting themes/maps. The Pokémon selection is boring and made up of Pokémon that are present in EVERY game for the last 20 years. We already played through this continent 4 times (RBGY, GSC, FRLG, HGSS) and Kalos was designed as a Kanto 2.0. So yeah, it's too much.
Sure, they can change it. Make new cities, add new Pokémon. But at that point why bother calling it Kanto? Why it has to be Kanto? I just dislike this idea and I think it moves the whole franchise too much into a "Digimon" direction where they focus too much on nostalgia and a few characters over offering new content. Even other generations will suffer in representation if they go more and more into Gen 1 pandering. I also think it's a move too aimed at adults/mature fans and I think the series can lose identity by ignoring its young public - I know you don't like how stories keep getting more serious because of this, I kinda feel the same over Gen 1 Focus. Feels like Pokémon losing the identity to me, as I see the series as the only one of these "fads" franchises that moves forward, yet still have stuff for their older fans.
Of course, this is just my personal rant and you can disagree with everything. Gamefreak usually makes quality content, but I can't get even a bit excited over this concept!
TPC generally does reveals in may, so if a game is this year coming it'll be revealed this month.
It doesn't take an insider to figure that out.
The whole "think about Pokémon Go" thing is just annoying. I guess it's divisive because of all the Kanto rumors?
Maybe they are actually going ahead with the nostalgia factor and making a game centered around the Gen 1 mons.
Maybe Pokémon Go like accessory to catch Pokémon on the go like the pokewalker thing from HG/SS.
Anyway. I'm still skeptic. The vagueness seems to be a foot in the door in case it doesn't pan out.
Not saying Emily doesn't have sources, just that those sources haven't always been right.
Imagine a Pokemon Red and Blue Remake with the possibilities to download Pokemons into the game you caught while playing Pokemon Go. Stats depending on how good the caught pokemon was. You catch a Glumanda ingame and download better base stats from Pokemon Go. ^^
Pokémon World, launches with only Gen 1 regions and Pokémon with later and new regions and Pokémon added as time goes by, here we go.
Edit: wasn't there some reports about Nintendo/Niantic preparing a new Pokémon Go Plus? I am guessing that peripheral would work with Pokémon Switch as well

Pokémon GO still have 65 millions monthly users, it's still one of the biggest games active right now, it'd be a terrible mistake if they didn't took notes from it. It is quite literally the biggest Pokémon game ever made.
If there's going to be Go connectivity, how is it going to work for players logged in with their Facebook/Google accounts instead of Pokemon ones? One of the first things you see when starting it is a choice between logging in with one of the three.
I can't imagine there would be too many happy players if they had to lose their progress to use the Go/Switch connection just because they used the wrong type of account.

A few months ago, someone posted a thread about Pokémon potentially rebooting its battle system to appeal to new audiences. Alas it would make sense, considering their attempt to renew the progression mechanics in Sun & Moon wasn't a huge success.
I generally find the leak culture in journalism weird usually, sure some are right, but at the same time, games evolve a lot throughout their development just look at stars....
I just think this particular article is for clicks, as honestly other than a vague date, what real leak is there?
16 DAYS, then we will see....
She has inside info. She teased before than there was another Pokemon coming to Switch this year that wasn't the Gen 8 one people are expecting. She didn't write that to speculate, she wrote that because she has info.
Phantom been saying it for a month now.
I guess he really likes cardboard.
Pokemon Go Switch:
Connect Pokemon Go Switch to Pokemon Go on you're smartphone and play as the trainer in the real world.
Catch Pokemon with augmented reality on your phone and train/evolve them on your switch then fight trainers in real battles in the real world through Pokemon Go Switch and eventually challenge the Elite Four!

I wonder if Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing Switch installments will also draw lessons from their corresponding mobile games.... *shudders*
Nintendo said they would only focus on 2018 games, so unless they intend to release both Pokemon and Metroid, which would be quite something, I don't see it happening. Just my thoughts. Hope I'm completely wrong.
Some way of taking better advantage of the Switch's hardware capabilities and it's portable nature for these games could definitely work. Or some kind of HGSS-esque pokewalker type accessory perhaps. I didn't think Pokemon GO was actually all that fun to play so I hope they don't lean on it too much.
Focus on 2018 always leaves some room for some teases for 2019. But yeah, with that in mind it would seem smart to not expect a Metroid showing. Hoping though!
There's really not much to this, and certainly nothing surprising. We always knew Nintendo wanted their mobile approach to feed directly into better Nintendo hardware and software sales, so especially given the success of Go... no surprise there's going to be a way the games share data. To what extent remains to be seen, but they're obviously not replacing the battle system with Go's or anything like that =P
As for gen 1 only rumours... Pokemon Go is already at gen 3 with every intent to keep going forwards so don't sweat this theory.

If you have to use some kind of mobile app to battle instead of just being able to do it system to system I'm gonna be so fuckin pissedThis picture/supposed hint suddenly makes a lot more sense:
Can't I just get a mainline Pokemon game on a console? I don't give a shit if it's a reboot or a remake or even a straight port I just want to play a normal Pokemon RPG on my TV
That's just something we know at this point over at the rumor thread. Loooooooooooooot of teasing about Gen 1. It's straight gonna be Gen 1 remake, or reboot of some sort.
She said the game has taken lessons from Pokemon Go, not that it would be a Pokemon Go on Switch.
Like how the hell would this even work? Would you have to buy mandatory camera add ons for your Switch?
Lol.
You're calling something we haven't seen "barebones and uninteresting" when it could well be the most interesting map depending on whats done.
If its shown to be really similar to the original games then yeah, you and me and almost everyone are going to be a bit disappointed.
Because The Pokémon Company likes to take the spotlight exclusively for themselves. They also like to announce games on May.
