Games & System to come after Sun & Moon?
Posted: Wed Apr 19, 2017 7:32 pm
Now that Sun and Moon have been out for a few months and speculation for the next games are in question, what do you think the next game/set of games will be and for what device? Some possibilities are Stars or Gen 4 remakes either on the Switch or a new 2DS/3DS system or none of the following. What do you think will happen and explain why?
Currently, I'm fairly certain Gen 4 remakes are in the near future. Gens 1-3 have already had remakes, and were released in order (1, 2, 3), and although Sun and Moon had quite a bit of references to previous generations, hints to gen 4 seem to stand out and appear the most to me and many others in the community. Plus, it's been about 10 years, Diamond and Pearl are due for remakes soon. I really hope they are confirmed because I started in gen 4, but went back to the beginning to gen 1, but gen 4 will always hold a special place in my childhood. As for the systems, I feel there will most likely be a new 3DS system upon release. I'm hoping for an updated 2DS because I'm that weirdo that actually likes the system, plus any of my fellow 2DS owners know Sun and Moon were a little much for the system to handle at times (Don't get me started on double battle lag...). As for the Switch, I feel it would be a huge f-you from Nintendo (primarily Pokémon fans) if a new main series game released, and many cannot afford the system to play it on. I think there will be Pokémon games on the Switch, but somewhat spinoff, like Pokken on the Wii U.
Given all that, I'm guessing that gen 4 is most likely next on our list and hopefully for a newer 2DS/3DS system as well. What are your thoughts?
