I want Pokemon, but I have this feeling that there's going to be a Switch port within the next six to twelve months.

Yeah, but what's 40 bucks. Might as well be free!
They've never done this with Pokémon.

Right. It's only $32 on Amazon, so it's not that big of a deal. But you know how it is with new systems: you want any excuse to use it. I have bought some truly mediocre games in the first year of many consoles' lives just to say I'm using the damn thing.
Look, everything's a thing that's never happened before until it happens. That's actually a shitty argument that can be used to justify literally any improbable to impossible event, so I'll put it a different way. They've never done that with Mario Kart or Smash Bros., either, and there was a time that they'd never done it with Zelda. It's difficult to produce lots of content for HD systems, so we've seen just an unending deluge of remasters and ports. And there's no reason to believe that won't extend to a super popular franchise like Pokemon.
This is a good game.
CBS should really invest in one of these VR cameras. Would make for some amazing VRodeos.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
So instead of playing it now you want to wait a year and buy new hardware just to play a slightly uprezed port?
Seems like a good way to sell a system with all the Pokemon Go hype.
Slightly would be a severe understatement.

There's actually a really good chance Pokémon DOES get a Switch port. Although they have launched new Pokémon games on outdated platforms before, that was always in an era of backwards compatibility- you could always play Black and White 2 on the 3DS, or Emerald on the DS. Switch won't be able to play 3DS games, though, and they're going to want to squeeze one more set of games out of this engine before they go on to Switch full-bore. I reckon a Sun/Moon port and a cross-release of whatever the next games end up being is a pretty decent bet.

sounds like the struggles of a pc gamer
I'm buying the hardware anyway for things that aren't Pokemon, so that's not an issue. But yeah, the extent of any upgrades definitely impacts whether I wait or not. Of course, there's no way to know that unless news of a port somehow leaks between now and Pokemon's release.
True, my bad. I just can't imagine it'll be anywhere close to the 3DS resolution on the Switch, but who knows.

Pokemon Sun/Moon on Citra (3DS emulator) looks great. A hypothetical Switch version that bumps the 400x240 resolution to 1080p or even 720p would make a huge difference.
Check again. >.>
Also for anyone who has an Xbox One and not Hitman, it is $30 for the full season. Or $7.50 for the intro pack then $25 more for the full upgrade if you just want to try it for now. Play this game!
Slightly uprezed? All signs point to the Switch being in the ballpark of the Wii U's power. 240p to 720p is a huge difference.

Downloading pokemon on Malaysian 3g is a test of patience.

Not one single chance in hell it will get ported.

Are you attempting to goad me into an avatar bet over whether a generation VII Pokemon game appears on the Switch?

S&M2 on Switch.

Yeah I think this is more likely than porting Sun and Moon over to the Switch.
Though I'd love it if they went Pokemon Eclipse instead of Sun and Moon 2, but then they couldn't sell two copies of the same game.

How's it different from the first S&M?
More candles?

Sadism and masochism.
See this is more likely than just a plain remaster. S&M will already sell like 20 million on the 3DS so who wants to buy that again. But give them the typical Pokemon third version/sequel and that's another 10 million sales while reusing 80% of the assets.
Nah, a well timed bullet/fiber wire and a quick escape feel pretty good too.

headshots are so satisfying in Hitman.
