I said it before and ill say it again about Pokemon 2019, when the guys at Nintendo talked about it before E3 last year they were Hyping it like its BOTW tier game.
They said its the next big step for the franchise like BOTW was for Zelda, they are taking their time with it to insure giving the players something big.
I wonder what "big step" means. I mean, one could certainly say BOTW is not your usual 3D Zelda title, but it was also a big step for the franchise. Do you think it implies more of a change for the Pokémon formula or more like adding tons of new stuff to the already existing traditional Pokémon game?
Pokémon doesn't really need to shake things up like BOTW did for Zelda, but them wanting to do so is exciting; when you have the biggest media franchise in the world, having the desire to reach new heights is very positive and I can say that I'm excited to hear that. Perhaps it's a younger team working on the game? As long as they're hungry!
Taking their time with it... If this game started development in 2017, a 2019 release seems "too soon" for a title that aims that high. Again, what do I know about game development and for how long this game has been in their minds...
Anyhow, thanks for sharing that info! Excited to hear more about it in a... couple of months? Who knows!
