They better fix the fucking Pokémon proportions next time.
same here
Colosseum had the correct proportions. A double battle with 4 Wailord was a sight to behold. Hopefully the increased power will make this possible.

Mobile?
Would mobile really work for a fully fleshed-out mainline Pokémon game? It would probably be pretty pricey for an app. Maybe a port of the older games could work on mobile for cheap, but I'm not sure if the newer games would be a great fit for mobile.

Thats a pretty bad attitude to have before the switch event in January... Nintendo and sony seem to cater to the spring and summer months more now, why fight big 3rd party releases
im sure Nintendo probably has more
Nah. 10 bucks and microtrans all over the place would do the trick.
Eurogamer are not employed by Nintendo.
They say it will be using new, separate assets from the 3ds version; expect higher resolution and cleaner textures, and hopefully more to scale pokemon models.
Yeah, I think that at this point EG shouldn't count on attending the Switch event.
This just has to be a third version or sequel though, right? Surely EG heard wrong and they're not porting both games. There's just no way.
Edit: Okay, it is.

Here's another issue (dunno if anyone's mentioned it): does this mean that Pokemon will finally stop dicking us around, and allow multiple save files? I mean, if Nintendo wants to position the Switch as a home consoles, and most households will only have one, then won't we need multiple save files so all the kids can play the game?

Have a gut feeling to just cancel my 3ds order and wait.
But still unsure if I'm going to get a switch early.
Can always just play one version, and then play another version if this is true.

Switch became a lot more important to investors now. Will probably skip the 3ds games as I've been quite busy so might just wait on this.

That's literally what the article says it is.

Well hopefully it's true.
I don't own a 3DS anymore and handheld consoles just aren't for me. So one of the reasons I want the switch is to be able to play all Nintendo games on my TV with better graphics than the limited handheld hardware they allways use can provide.
And this seems to point and the fact that it's going to be like that

Read the article, it's the third version.

This'll be the first time that the console in your in-game bedroom will be the same thing you're playing the game on in real life!
Unless the console in your bedroom will still be a Wii U

If anyone is expecting this to be a big performance improvement over sun and Moon, they will be seriously disappointed. Graphics will be better but I'm sure it will still run horribly.

Eh... Switch isn't launching until March and it's doubtful this will come on day one. The report says it was planned for summer but might be pushed back now.
If you say so, than I have to believe it.
I just think the thread title needs more context (Example: "Eurogamer: Pokémon Stars (3rd Version of Sun/Moon) is a Switch-Exclusive").

Pokemon games hit every fall, with the exception of last year, I expect this won't be an exception.

Yeah I just pre-ordered Sun for 3DS this morning, but I can see myself getting it again on the Switch.

If it's a thrid version, I think there's a chance performence will improve.

Kimishima right now:
I don't know how the graphics will be, but Pokemon Co would be making a mistake if they half-arsed it - that's why I don't think they will.
Switch has the power to exponentially upgrade how Pokemon looks and I don't think Pokemon company can be afforded a port that doesn't enhance the game considerably.
So Gen 7 is getting a third version after all? Ouch that's gotta hurt for Zygarde and the pitiful existence that was X and Y.
Either way it just means that I will have to get a Switch day one as I need me Pokémon.
As a European, Nintendo can suck it and I glad that Eurogamer published the story.

Give a mod a message to stop people from thinking it's a port.

And with this simple move, the Nintendo Switch will be a success.
Fucking awesome.

Thank goodness this news came out, now I can skip Sun and Moon and just wait for the better version. I was getting worried after X and Y didn't have a Z.

I might actually buy a Switch if it supports native HD resolution for Sun and Moon.
Still hopeful?

Has so much potential. Joy Con controllers for a colluseum mode. Or even being able to import your own team from your pokemon bank to fight a friend on their switch.
Give a mod a message. They can help you change the title.

Horribly is an exaggeration but Game Freak ain't exactly the best in this department, even on PS4 their 2D platformer Tembo was rather spotty.

I don't mind double dipping, I've seen the demo running on Citra, its gonna look great.
Yeah I just PMed one. New title should be "Eurogamer: Pokémon Stars (3rd version of Sun/Moon) launching exclusively for Switch in 2017".

I guess
are a possibility now.
By new Pokemon, it could just mean pre-existing Pokemon being added to the game, which is nothing new for third versions/sequels.
The battle models are pretty much sorted already, since they're futureproof. The backgrounds will need work though.
new forms of Marshadow and Necrozma

I did the same thing.
To be fair, the assets already exists. Sadly, they are restricted by the power of the 3DS.
