And are you saying that B2W2 won't get a remake, or that the remake will be B2/B, and W2/W? |
Quote:
B2W2 probably won't get remakes. Third versions don't get remakes so sequels may not get remakes either. |
Figured time to break up the argument with something. Shigeru Ohmori hinted that main series Pokemon games tend to take three years' worth of development, so if the Switch game that Game Freak are working on is the first game of 8th Gen, I probably don't see it coming until 2019.
So, be prepared for a gap year next year. |
I don't think the Switch game(s) are too far along in development since the Switch is a new system and so far we only have a confirmation that it's happening and was likely announced way ahead of time because of the backlash from the announcement that US/UM would be on the 3DS (despite all of the complaints about the opposite happening...), so I could see them making one last set of games for the 3DS if only to keep the money coming in while they work on whatever they're doing for the Switch.
It just depends on what Game Freak decides to do and if Nintendo is willing to let them do it. |

It's a shame that GF has to deal with impatient fans who fail to realize that they're not gonna scrap all the current assets and make brand new ones mid generation just so they can put it on a different console. |
I don't see where people are getting the idea that they announced the Switch game recently because of supposed backlash from USUM silence. That's insinuating that Game Freak mindlessly catered to needless complaining, and that's not how they work. When are people gonna learn to be patient? Seriously, the majority of the responses from butthurt fans is getting asinine.

However, they could put some things from B2W2 into BW remakes. Lets not forget that alternate universes exist so something like that can work. |

Also we haven't had a remake of a sequel yet, so you're just making assumptions. |

Hey guys, just jumping in to remind you to stay on topic please. This thread is about discussing the potential of Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon being the last games on the 3DS rather than the discussion of Black and White remakes.

Kind of the relation that Consoles and PC ever had, Switch's Version will prolly be the superior/most pretty one and the 3DS one will keep walking on the same route it has been walking on, with its small resolution, ugly graphical quality, frame drops, etc. Unless Nintendo decided to make a replacement for it, that is. |

I dont see why they would be.
The Switch simply is not popular enough (~5m sales compared to the ~19m of the 3ds over the same time period) to make a main series game for, it wouldnt sell well. This coupled with the higher development cost with a more complex system, it would be too much of a risk to make it switch exclusive. |

They announced it early because of USUM being on 3DS backlash..? I don't think I understand Quote:
In my area, a super large city, GameStop had to do preorders in July because they hadn't receieved any Switches in month and only expected to get a few. Toys R Us hadn't received any since launch. Best Buy and Target hadn't received any in weeks and then only a few. There are mutiples of each in my area and I called ones 1 hour away. Trust me I called them all lol. |

The supply shortages were only a major issue at launch (like all new big name tech), and although they still exist to a smaller degree, that doesnt warrant 75% less sales. I might also add that the 3DS had a similar supply issue at launch.
Quote:
The 5m switch units sold, compared to the 67m of the 3DS should force GF to not develop for the switch until it has a much larger user base. Sales would be severely limited, lowering revenue, coupled with the costs of developing for the new system, lowering profits. From a monetary standpoint, GF should not be making a switch exclusive game for at least another development cycle. I have a Switch, and would love to have a main series game on it, but im just being realistic. I wouldnt mind some of the more obscure Pokemon titles i.e. Pokemon Ranger being released, as it wouldnt be as risky as making the main series Switch only. EDIT: I might add that GF is a company, their only goal is to make money, not to innovate for the sake of innovation. Selling on the switch only would be a terrible buisness choice. It is only a vocal minority of fans who want games on the switch, as the switch user base is currently a minority in the Nintendo ecosystem. |
I think that they're trying to phase out the 3ds and move to the switch. Nintendo said they'd support the 3ds, but for how long? Who knows. It could be 5 years. It could be 1 year. But either way, It's gonna end eventually.
