As part of its game showcase during E3 2017, Nintendo announced a project that fans have been clamoring about for decades: a core Pokemon game coming to a home console.
Yup, Pokemon for Nintendo Switch is definitely A Thing That Is Happening. There are no details or screens to go on, but the game was described as a "core Pokemon RPG" developed by Game Freak, so this won't be a spin-off like Pokemon Snap or Pokemon Colosseum. I suppose it could be like the Pokemon Dungeon series, but hopefully we'll get something a bit more substantive than that. Dream and speculate as you will, fans.
Make sure you check out our full E3 2017 schedule to stay tuned for all the details as they arrive, and check out our roundup of all the E3 2017 trailers.
