US/UM has a legacy of third versions, sequels and remakes to look up to. Of course there will be more content.

More content does not necessarily mean that content will be playable. I'm pretty sure that Festival Plaza had more content than PSS overall, but it was so poorly implemented that it didn't make a difference. Sometime less is more. Better that they do a thing and do it right rather than they do many things and get none of them right...or only a handful. I suppose SM did SOME things right. I just can't think of what they are right now...

Festival Plaza was at least an attempt at a Join Avenue 2.0. Unfortunately, the only thing it succeeded at was being controversial and hated by the whole fandom.

I can't see Festival Plaza going away until 8th Gen.

Paid online will be way more controversial than the Festival Plaza will be, making it actually look better in comparison. The fanbase will lose a lot if this happens.

Oh, I wouldn't be so sure of that...I mean, if Nintendo can get away with putting DLC in Zelda, they can get away with paid online for Pokemon. I suppose it might sound like fear-mongering, but online battling is essentially PvP, and in current generation gaming online is only free on handhelds. It's a normalised practice to pay for online play now, so whilst it wouldn't be a popular move, I doubt it would really cause any significant lasting damage.

I can imagine it'll still garner controversy from a lot of competitive players.

It probably would, but it wouldn't stop them doing it. I don't see how they can make the move to Switch without putting these questionable business practices into effect...paid online, DLC and season passes, probable amiibo support...it all sounds very exciting, but when you think current Pokemon experiences are complete by themselves and you online have to pay for them the once...I'm surprised more people aren't worried about a move to Switch tbh.

I think the only reason people want Pokemon to move to the Switch is because it has handheld purposes, but it would also feel like a step backwards since it's single-screen only, something which last happened in 3rd Gen.

I don't think it would be as big of a hindrance as expected. We survived for a long time with a single screen, and whilst stepping back to that would be jarring, it wouldn't be as inconvenient - the Switch has a touchscreen so we could still use that. I think the Switch game will be a different experience, though. All of Nintendo's other most significant franchises have different 2D and 3D core series - Zelda, Metroid, Mario, etc. I doubt Pokemon for the Switch will be the same as it is for the 3DS in terms of gameplay...and I doubt they'll stop making 3DS titles either.

Main games on the Switch would be something but I wouldn't be opposed to keeping the main games on handhelds (er.. completely handhelds? shrugs) and idk. putting another game like Colosseum/XD on the switch. but maybe that's me hoping that one day they would make a more rpg-esque Pokemon game again.

I'm still sitting here waiting for US/UM news coverage to officially begin...

Unfortunately, it appears August will be when the news coverage starts. I'm annoyed that the Pokemon company now seems to want to drop news of new Pokemon games slower than previously.

No news leaves me somewhat worrying. Before Sun/Moon, they were throwing around news constantly. I just want to see a new feature or something, I'm hoping for a bunch of them. I think it's time for the Battle Frontier to make its return.

I'm with you too Lycan. The fact we're getting a two month drought means we won't have a lot of time for solid enough news coverage before release day, unless if it's only going to show off new features or something that's minor.

I'm not concerned. Less news coverage actually means I'll be more surprised by things shrug. If i bother to pick up the games anyways. I think I'm going to hear what people think first mainly because i can't just go spending money whenever anymore.

Even Tumblr seems to not be talking about US/UM much...
