I posted early and wanted to add something to this. Pokemon isn't the only franchise I play, so when something else comes out I like, I will play and as with the Switch, I have tried a lot of franchises I never dreamed of playing, but I tried them and I love them.
However, I don't buy a new console until pokemon is confirmed. I kinda skipped all of Wii and Wii U. We had a Wii for a while, but I gave it too my sister when she moved out. But because Pokemon wasn't there, I never thought about buying it again. There wasn't many pokemon games on console since the 4th Gen. So there was never a real reason to push to buy it again.
