I normally don't like saying things with 99% certainty, buttttttt
These are probably gonna be the last Pokémon games on 3DS. GF says they want the new Pokémon Switch out by next year at the earliest, so they most likely aren't even working on anything else except USUM and the upcoming Switch game. At best we might get a spin-off or something. |
The only other thing that would likely come this generation would be Diamond and Pearl remakes, but a lot of people think it's too early for that. Additionally, there's already a Switch title well into development and it's unlikely they'd confirm a game that comes out after another still-unannounced title, before still another set has yet to be released. That's just too much - and besides, they have yet to release two sets of remakes on one console.
It's almost a sure bet that the next title will be on the Switch and that no more 3DS titles are coming. |

I agree with Alexander,Fanservice is a bunch of baloney.Never think a company listens to their fans in the end it comes down to GF to decide.
|
There are a few things to consider, I think 8th Gen will be on Switch, but I don't know if there will be another game or not.
We will either have a break for a year, meaning no main series game in 2018. We will have another main series game on the 3ds next year, which would be a remake of something. And finally, if they choose to bring out a Switch Game next year, then they need to make sure Nintendo is mass produceing the Switch, because....... I haven't seen a Switch in stores since a week after its release. So, bringing a pokemon game out when there isn't enough consoles is a very bad move. |

Pokemon Go brought lots of old fans back. Around that time they announced alolan forms for 5 kanto pokemon. Coincidence? No, it's marketing. Honestly, fanservice isn't even what fans want half the time. Fanservice =/= doing everything the way that the fans want. Fanservice is putting features in that will sell. |

If you want a switch, go to the Walmart in Avon, CO. They had like 6 in the cabinet a few weeks ago, and your situation is anecdotal, and as I said in my first post, supply issues exist, but not a 15m unit shortage. Maybe 1m at most. Its important to remember, the console costs $300 if you are lucky. This is not affordable to a majority of the Nintendo user base, which is the market that the 3DS fulfills. Most people would save the extra $100 and get a brand new, much more robust console from Microsoft or Sony. |

But amazon ships everywhere in the us, so if u need one there it is in stock. I get your point though |

I live in Tenn and there is not a single store in a 50 mile radius that has had these for months. Isolated is small areas, when it is an entire state or bigger areas, it isn't isolated. And looking on Amazon, it would seem they are basically already sold out. |
I think that they are. Rumors are that the switch game will come out Holiday 2018.
|
Since they announced core series games for the Switch, I think Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon will be the last core Pokemon games for the 3DS. I'm not sure if they plan on releasing another spin off like Mystery Dungeon or not.

Its not a personal issue, the Switch is selling very well, but user adoption will have to rise more before making a switch exclusive main series game feasible. As I said in the original post, I own a switch, and would love to have the game on it, but its just not reasonable yet. 5M sales is on par with another Home console, the PS4, which was plagued with even more massive shortages, as demand was much higher. OP asked if people think this will be the last game on the 3DS. I believe there is at least one more game on the 3DS due to the Switch market not being large enough to support an exclusive title, which I wrote, and backed up with sales data. I already said that my view of supply is anecdotal, but so is everybody else's until Nintendo releases a detailed report on the topic (if they ever do). My point is that switch sales are not high enough to support an exclusive title. Sales are a number of units sold, not number of people that want one. Sales will continue to rise, it is just a question of if they are able to reach a high enough before the development cycle starts. They might release it due to willingness to take a loss, or massive Nintendo funding, but thats a diffeent discussion. Besides, the fact that im seeing many people complain about not owning a switch due to lack of supply only further proves my point that GF has no incentive to develop for the switch exclusively until user count rises, because the fact stands that not enough people have the switch. EDIT: Here is Nintendo's Q2 2017 Earnings Release: https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2017/170726e.pdf. Interesting read if you are curious about sales. |
