Disappointed? (about non-Switch)
Everyone thought that we're going to get a mainline Pokemon game on the switch... with almost every mainstream gaming media outlet reporting that, "Pokemon Stars is set to release for the switch." Even tho, those are just rumors... everyone still built a considerable amount of hype for it.
Now, are you disappointed that Pokemon Ultra Moon and Ultra Sun won't be on the Switch? |
Nope, I'm glad it's on the 3DS. plus switch had pokken tournament announced so it's not like switch users aren't going to get a thing.
I'm glad it's on the 3ds. gives me more time to save for switch. |
Same, I'm glad it's for 3ds. Always prefered 3ds myself.

I'm not disappointed as I saw this coming. Game Freak wouldn't suddenly change consoles mid generation. I believe that these will be the final 3DS main series games. Generation 8 will most likely be on the switch.

I don't really think pokemon would work well on tv, but that might just be me :p
They'd probably have to redo all the sprites again though... |
I am pretty bummed yeah... but at the same, happy since it means I don't have to buy a Switch anytime soon. ^^ But I would've loved to experience Pokémon on this system and have been crossing my fingers we'd get an announcement for it at some point. Alas tho. ): I am sure it'll be awesome when we finally do get one!!

Hi everyone I just joined!
Personally I am very excited for thee games :D I don't like how a lot of comments I've seen over on reddit are very negative towards the game. |
I'm disappointed that we're getting an upgraded SM rehash (with a knockoff of Kyurem's fusion gimmick) instead of something more interesting. After Zygarde's game failed to happen, I thought GF was done with third versions and making people plunk down cash for a "nicer" version of games they had already bought. SM aren't even a year old, and they've already been rendered obsolete. :rolleyes2:
And, past history strongly suggests that USUM will wind up among the lowest-selling main series games. They're third versions being released at the tail end of a console generation, not unlike Crystal, Emerald, and B2W2 (sequels, but still a region rehash). And, guess what? Those are the three worst-selling main series games. Does GF really want Gen 7 to go out with a whimper like that? With the 3DS on its last legs and these very likely being the final main series games released for the system, Gen 7 needed to end with something far more special than just a SM rehash. I was hoping that all of those nods to Kanto (and the whole 20th anniversary theme of this gen) were leading up to sequels set in Kanto and Johto, featuring Lillie as a rival. Now, that would've been a unique and interesting way to tie up Gen 7 and send it out with a bang, and it's hard not to imagine sequels set in the beloved first two regions making a killing in sales. But, no, it looks like all of those Kanto nods in SM were just a cheap anniversary gimmick, and nothing significant or meaningful will come out of them. :rolleyes2: GF may love shoving certain Gen 1 Pokémon down our throats (ie. Charizard and Mewtwo), but they could care less about the Kanto region itself or any of its characters. Same goes for the other regions and their characters (besides Cynthia and Looker). I guess the standard really is for past regions to get one remake and then never appear in any game ever again. Very disappointing. |
Heck no, I'm excited.
I don't have a Wii U so never had a chance to play Pokken, now I do. Plus with all the characters and Decidueye and extra game modes? Sign me up for Switch! USM is also exciting as an alternative story, with all sorts of possibilities and new Z-moves. I'm very excited for it and what changes they make. About USM being on the 3DS, let's take a brief look at history, shall we? Quote:
Besides, would you rather the first game for Nintendo Switch be a port of an existing game, or a brand new game built up from the ground? |
I'm quite glad it's not on the Switch because buying the Switch isn't one of my priorities or something I'd be able to do this year. Also agreed with Frozocone's points above - I think a debut on the Switch with a brand new game would be a lot more impactful and exciting than something that's sort of new.

Remember that GF was hiring for a developers for a console game just recently... and of course 3d modelers...
That's a tip off that they where still early in development for a Switch Pokemon game. I've already adjusted my expectations accordingly, so I wasn't really disappointed. Also, isn't it a bit unreasonable for people to expect you to be able to go back to Kanto using the new engine? SuMo was the largest 3ds game at 3.2 gb.., Imagine placing the upscaled Kanto map into that a game with that size... that would take another 2 years of development, maybe even more... GF might already be on the early stages of developing the next game for the switch (Whether its the new gen, remake, enhanced port) so doing so would only delay their plans for the new system. I do agree that this expansion is being released way to early... we usually get these version a year and a half after the release of the main game.

Unfortunately, GF seems to operate under the same principle as the anime's writers and producers, if the 20th movie is anything to go by. "Celebrating the past" will never amount to anything more than a few cheap references and shallow marketing of already overexposed past gen Pokémon. Just as Ash's past companions get thrown in the dustbin and are never seen or heard from again after X number of years, the same also seems to be true for past regions in the games. They get one remake, and that's that. What a joke of an "anniversary" this has been. |
Disappointed? Nah. The only issue I have with the announcement is how early it has come. I don't own a switch, and I am perfectly happy with my Wii U not having a mainstream Pokemon game on it. I don't think I would even get it, to be completely honest. Pokemon has always been a handheld experience, and even with the switch's capabilities it just won't feel the same to me.
As for the disappointment about not going back to the roots of the franchise with Kanto etc, I feel the same as with every new announcement, that it is pretty much unnecessary and in no way would it sell well. I still need to finish my copy of Moon (though I lost it when FE echoes came out and have to use Sun instead) so hopefully I will have enough time. |
Nope. Not in the least.
Currently it is impossible to get a Switch around here, I haven't seen them in stock for weeks. And now I don't have to worry about buying an early console which I have never liked buying a console in its first year. So now I can focus on getting a new 3DS. |
Hell no. Unfortunatly I don't have money growing on my back, and I am not even close to having enough money for a Switch. I will get it eventually, but not now. I am super excited for this game, and even more knowing that I will be able to playit on my 3ds :)

I'm not disappointed. If anything it means I'll get to play it more because my boyfriend and I only have one Switch between us llol
As for the Kanto stuff... It would be more how the characters have aged over 20 years - clearly people like Misty etc wouldn't stay in the same position (some might) so you'd see what they're doing, see how the region has been changed since your original visit (new structures, areas), see how the Pokemon have changed and help Lillie find the answer. It would honestly be really cool to follow a new sort of journey. You wouldn't even be YOU, you'd be a new protagonist (visiting from another region) and you would play as that and find Lillie, and follow along her journey, and then from an outside of game POV, discover how the region has changed. So like what B2W2 did for BW, after two years. This would be after 20 years so just think of how many changes are possible! But yeah, that's ideally why Kanto remakes would have made sense especially with the movie coming it. Nobody wants the same old Kanto, it's more they want to see how it is now, after this long sorta thing. I'd love to see that for every region honestly. No more remakes, just long-awaited sequels. |

Not disappointed, since the Switch is still new and we should wait for sales figures to rise before we can get hopes up for if a main series game will be on the Switch.
|
not in the slightest. I don't want to have to buy a switch.
also nothing in the footage seems to indicate a graphical upgrade that would warrant switching to a newer device. |
I was fully expecting these games to be on the 3DS, so I didn't set myself up to be disappointed. It really wouldn't make sense for them to move over to the Switch so soon, especially with supply being so short. And those people complaining about this, just don't buy it.
|
Not at all. I don't have the money to buy a switch so I am not complaining. I just hope they fix the rendering issues so the game doesn't lag a ton.
|
I was a bittttt disappointed, but not that much. I did want a new Pokémon Switch game, but I knew the chances of such happening were fairly slim anyways.
In the end, Pokémon will make the switch (heh heh) eventually, so I can wait some more. |
