RUMOR: Gen VIII Games Coming to Switch in 2018

BE CAREFUL: As with all rumors we treat these as discussion points and not something to based your hopes and dreams on. Do not treat them as fact.

It isn’t a rumor that GameFreak is working on a main series Pokémon game for the Nintendo Switch, but exactly when is a point of contention. Many gamers thought that “Pokémon Stars” (later revealed to be Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon precursor or even just a tech demo) would be the first main game on Nintendo’s new console after gaming journalists erroneously reported on it last year. One year later and nothing concrete has been announced, but that could change soon.

A Reddit poster with a history of correctly leaking gaming news posted, DasVergeben, recently posted a new topic about some of 2018’s plans from Nintendo. Relevant to Pokémon fans is the fact that GameFreak is under pressure to release Generation VIII next year for the Switch. That means if all goes according to plan we could see the first “console” main series game within 12 months!

Do you think it’s too soon off the release of Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon or would you prefer GameFreak to keep generations shorter than they have in the past?

      • See that’s the part that I have doubts about. Nintendo isn’t about rushing games and never really has been. I suppose this could be different under a new leader.

        Though I can kinda understand it from a business point of view because Pokémon would be the thing that really ropes in the handheld audience

        • Well I like to think of Nintendo as a gracious and big-hearted company, but at the end of the day they’re trying to turn a profit for shareholders. BotW and Odyssey were the huge releases expected for Switch and now that they’re out there’s a need to continue the momentum with other big names.

          Reply
        • You should have a look at what PS4/X1 are releasing next year. You wont have any doubts anymore then, Nintendo knows they’ll fall behind if they cant offer at least one big title in 2018

  1. I’d like the games to be next year, but if they’re going to be rushed which means we’ll miss out on content and awesome stories etc. then I’m happy to wait for 2019. As long as USUM is good enough to last on for two years

    Reply
  2. I don’t really feel like it’s enough time to create a polished Pokémon game for Switch. I don’t like waiting, but if it makes a better game then go right ahead. Just give me Animal Crossing Switch to pass the time! 😛

    • Unless they’ve been working on gen 8 for a while and all they have to do is upgrade it graphically, which is fairly easy to do unless we’re talking about a massive game

      Reply
      • I imagine that the game has to be somewhat bigger, otherwise why make the jump? They reached the limit on the 3DS and now they’ve got a way bigger base to work with.

  3. Non-Pokemon related but a Kingdom Hearts 3 release is scheduled for November 1st, 2018. I HAVE ACTUAL TEARS IN MY EYES IVE WAITED SINCE 2007 FOR THIS

    Reply
  4. Id be all for this. Im sure they work on different games at the same time especially since i think it was reported in some interview that USUM was developed by a new team while a more experienced team developed and worked on Gen 8. We wont probably get Gen 8 til October/November of 2018 MAYBE

  5. Uh, it’s kinda hard to believe that Nintendo is pressuring GF to release a new game considering Nintendo isn’t about pressuring 2nd party developers and there having years without Pokemon games before. But if that’s the case then I hope GF is able to pull it off and not to rush the game :l

    Reply
    • I mean, I could definitely see it, business can cruel and can change like that. They could decide that “You need to have next game out by 2016, or you need to make a game by 2017.” Things definitely do change, Maybe in the past they didnt care, but now they could be more pressuring. I definitely do believe GF is being pressured. Especially seeing how big Nintendo is, I wouldn’t doubt it at all. But yea like you said, I hope GF can pull it off.

      Reply
    • They are banking on the Switch’s success. They know Pokemon is their #1 game. A new Pokemon game soon for the switch would be an instant success. It would finally encourage all the 3DS users it’s time to upgrade, and lure in past fans with the new graphics. Solidifying the Switches position next to the PS4 and Xbox. From a business perspective.. this is 100% believable

      Reply
      • Yeah it makes sense that they’d want to make fans upgrade their 3ds to a switch but, is there really any hurry for this? So maybe they’re forcing GF to finish it in 2018 because there aren’t many big games coming that year; they have Kirby, FE and a few more really but nothing as big as Mario or Zelda.

  6. Gen 7 is really quick then. 2 years for a generation is incredibly short. I thought they’d draw out the anime with another arc like they did in BW with the arc where traveled around a bunch of islands.

    Reply
  7. Poor, Pokemon, I dont want them to be under pressure. Honestly, I bet Nintendo keeps pushing them to make yearly releases. HOWEVEr, I really do not think gen 7 will come next year, I mean Ash hasnt even taken on any of the Ula Ula or Poni trials. And we need a movie for the electric mythical. I think 2018 will definitely be a blank year for Pokemon.

    Reply
  8. Whatever. It’ll come when it comes and all that matters is that it’s a solid game. No one can say for sure if it will be or not at this point so anyone saying that it coming out next is a bad thing is jumping to conclusions. They spent a crap ton of time on DP and look how that turned out. I’m sure whatever it is it’ll be up the the general standard that has been created. At this point they know how to create 3d models and properly design a 3d world so it’s not like we’ll end up with XY again where they were inexperienced. If they bring what they know from gen 7 to the Switch then it’ll be a good game. Also just because Ishihara said he thought the Switch would fail it doesn’t mean that GF shared the same thought. Ishihara runs TPC not GF. If Masuda and the higher ups at GF saw potential then they could have gotten started right from the get go. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were at the very least looking at the system when developer units were being shipped out before but was announced. Don’t worry guys it’ll still be a Pokemon game

    Reply
    • The issue some people have, myself and Star included, is that Pokémon relies too much on the fact that ‘its a Pokémon game’. I know that many people are happy with the current formula, but it’d just be nice to see a new innovative Pokémon game and that’s near impossible in such a short time span.

      Reply
    • Ok but like…

      The GBA is much closer to the DS and the DS is to the 3DS or the 3DS is to the Switch.

      Developing for the Switch is a very different beast from anything done before. This is their chance to take their time and make something new. It’s a total waste if they’re goona be rushed

      Reply
      • I get what you’re saying, but it’s not like they’ve never ever made a game for a console before. Plus the 3ds really isn’t as different compared to the Switch as you’re making it out to be. They already know how to make high res models. It’s not a matter of making the models. The obit real difference is that the Switch is a single screen and the 3ds is two. They’re more than equiped to handle it. Now if you’re worried about story and concepts that’s a different thing

        Reply
  9. I know this is what’s being reported and all, but I still think it’ll come in March 2019 or something like that. I could see it being announced either at E3 or around September next year and then have a fairly short hype window (yet longer than USUM by a country mile). November 2018 could happen, but it just feels wrong to me.

    Reply
  10. I really hope that PokéSwitch comes as late as possible, I just want these games to be as great as possible and I’m afraid that they’ll just make it ‘current Pokémon, but longer’.

    Reply
    • Well, this is their first time on the switch and they seem to have only one year to make the game so that seems the most likely chance. But maybe the second games they make for the Switch is something that is “great as possible” who knows.

      Reply
      • They won’t have a year to make the game, they would’ve been making it simultaneously with other games which is still harmful because it means it wasn’t that focused on it it only gets like a year to itself

        Reply
  11. I don’t have a Switch and have no intention of buying one in the near future. So USUM may well be the last Pokemon game I play in a while.

    Reply
  12. Ugh that new magenta background is giving me a headache
    As for Pokemon on the switch i’m very very skeptical,
    Yes the Switch is the hot new item around but i just don’t know how well a full fledged pokemon game will go down, i dunno i just feel weird about it being on home consoles on the big screen and I don’t like carrying the switch on my person at all times unlike my 3ds which is always in my pocket everywhere i go. and the online capabilities don’t like me very much and won’t connect anywhere that isn’t my basement

    I honestly need some kind of trailer or overview to state my full opinion

    As for Gen 8 I really hope they step up their game and really focus on creating lots of new interesting pokemon with plenty to choose from, I just really don’t like the small pokedexs and want plenty of variety because plenty can agree from the last 2 gens that some types got plenty of attention while others got shafted,
    As for a region I want something based on either Australia or possibly Russia, but mostly Australia since it has so much life and mystery to it and that would really work for me

    as for mechanics i kinda hope they take a more wild and bold unorthodox approach from the whole overworld, i kinda wish they could take a more…breath of the wild approach where Pokemon sightings are more immersive where you could actually see pokemon skitter and wander around

    now for some negatives, it is not unheard of that as players we want bigger and longer and more spectacular games by the year and it takes a lot of time, energy brain power and a whole lotta fresh imagination, yeah we want gigantic post games and bigger flashier things but sometimes they just don’t have the ideas or go the extra mile or time limitations are a factor, but i believe that if they hold out just long enough and got plenty of people on it we can actually see something like that

    • Can’t wait to get this game! It looks really great. But I’m a bit worried that since I’m new to the series certain things might not make sense? Has anyone seen or read Made in The Abyss? This scene reminded me of it, on that note if done correctly that anime would make a great game.

      Reply
  13. Why are they under pressure? Also I know they said they are working on a switch game for 2018 but I think they should slow it down a little bit. They really don’t need to throw out a new game only a year later

    • So that the switch doesn’t Wii u it out… I mean admittedly it has a better hardware and already some great titles but a limited library soon after release can really hurt console sales

      Reply
  14. There are a number of ways to look at this

    – Switch is a big upgrade. Masuda has already shown that they understand the challenge ahead.
    – They need time to make a good quality switch game. From graphics, mechanics to story and Pokemon.
    – GF always plans ahead so they must have anticipated the move to the switch and planned from earlier.
    The question is when? 2016 or 2017?
    – Nintendo is a business. Business is cruel. Pokemon is their diamond jewel for sales. I can definetly see them pressuring GF.
    – However GF has shown before they can stand up to Nintendo albeit respectfully.
    Plus GF understands the size of the project they’re taking on so surely they will try to compromise.

    My switch prediction: Gen switch gets teased sometime next year.
    Gets released early/mid 2019.

  20. That depends, are they rushing it? then no, they should take their time to make it good.

    If not then by all means go ahead release it by 2018, I just don’t want to see a game that could’ve been great ruined because some wise guy decided to get his paycheck a little bit faster.

    • Maybe make it a chef or something kitchen related? It could be Normal type with a move that is a diffrent type depending on the nature, cuz Pokemon treats natures as taste preference. The Pun would still work.

  22. An interesting thought: if we do get Gen 8 next year after all, we could be seeing the first hints of this as soon as this month or December. Remember back in the fall of 2015 when they started hinting at / revealing Zygarde Complete Forme in the movie? Whenever they begin discussing Movie 21, they could also hint at a new form or Pokémon.

    Reply
      • Oh yeah, and I did too. I was pretty confident that we’d get Gen 7 in 2016 but that threw me for a loop. Little did we know that Z and Sun/Moon would be combined in some ways!

        Reply
    • I’d say the first real hints will come in January. I think they’ll follow a similar track like they did with eh gen 6 to 7 transition. First the new mythical we have in December and then early next year they’ll reveal either a mythical for the next gen or whatever the special Pokemon from gen 8 it is. Kind of hope it’s a regular Mon tho. It was cool when they used normal Pokemon as the special guest

      Reply
    • I feel like Nintendo has some master plan in motion to sell a crazy number of consoles which involved Zelda on launch day and Mario in the holidays, then for next year it’s probably Animal Crossing, Smash Bros. and Pokémon to top it off. Wishful thinking on their part.

  23. Any thoughts on this? http://www.japanesenintendo.com/post/167397863114
    Trademark images for Splatoon, Animal Crossing, Zelda, amiibo and…Super Smash Bros. That last one has to be related to Smash Switch (unless it’s instead related to Smash amiibo, which it isn’t). Since there’s a separate trademark for Pocket Camp on this article I’m pretty sure Animal Crossing Switch is on the way in 2018 as well. Should be a fun year. Could we be seeing a blowout December Direct rather than waiting for January?

    Reply
      • I only say that because everyone talks about Nintendo’s “traditional” big January Direct, but I think they’re going to mix it up this time. Zelda could relate to the DLC releasing in December, Splatoon could be DLC as well, amiibo for, well, new amiibo, and AC + Smash for big announcements. Then everything else is third-party. There’s a chance!

        Reply
    • Standard licensing/trademark fanfare, they update the trademarks to include more products (mobile, merchandise,..) and lengthen the period of the trademark, nothing new. For all it may mean is that they intend to gather profits from the franchise, which doesn’t surprise me at all since they still sell all those stuff.

      Reply
      • I understand that argument of course, but Smash Bros. still sticks out like a sore thumb in this list. That makes me think the others could be suspect as well.

  24. Spoilers for USUM (so pretty much just spoilering this for butter) I’m really upset we didn’t get a new Nihilego form. As in, Mother Beast Nihilego but without Lusamine in it. You can explain away the change by saying ‘it has human energy in it’ and stuff. Keep it Rock/Poison with levitate or spice up the type Combo with Fairy/Poison or something. It could’ve even been through Ultra Burst like Ultra Necrozma is.

    Reply
  25. I think Pokemon has shifted to a faster release schedule. The pattern of Main, Sequel, Retro, hasn’t changed to Main, Sequel, Main, Retro. I expect that next year we will get Gen VIII on the switch and in 2019 we will get Gen IV on the switch.

    Reply
  26. I’m not worried and I am going try to stay optimistic because if this rumor is true (which there’s a good chance it could be given the apparent history with this leaker on getting things right before. Kinda reminds me of the Gematsu Leaker. There is a chance he could be wrong) then that means Pokemon Stars was real and that Game Freak has been considering a Switch game since 2016 or possibly earlier. Then that also means Game Freak will have had at least two or three years (or possibly more) to have worked on this game. I certainly don’t want a rushed product at all. X and Y could have been a lot better but it felt kinda rushed now that I look back on it. Though again, I am trying to think positive. Thinking negative won’t get you anywhere. From what I read in an interview the other day, veteran developers were put to work on the Switch project while younger developers were put to work on Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. I have a feeling that Game Freak knows what they’re up against. Gotta keep some faith in Game Freak that they’ll get it right for their debut game on the Switch.

  30. It’s so weird thinking about how Pokémon has literally been with me my entire life???

    Like I played it when I was super little with Red but never really got into it but 8 laters later I got Soul Silver and that changed my world. Before then I just played liscensed shovelware but Soul Silver was really what got me into real games

    I played Platinum and a few spin offs later on. Until eventually BW were announced and it was all I could think about for so long. I was obsessed with all of the rumors and possible hints left in other generations. When I finally got my hands on Black version the excitement was unreal

    B2W2 was the first game I bought after moving to another state. That post game was what really captivated me.

    X and Y’s announcement and hype season was just unreal even if the end result was disappointing. Nothing beats that excitement of seeing new Pokémon every month.

    The “mewthree” reveal led me to this site actually. I lurked for a looong time.
    ORAS was also crazy after all the Hoenn Confirmed memes and it’s what actually got me to make an account here

    Just idk… it’s weird looking back at it. Looking back to each game is also looking back in different stages of my life so far. When gen 8 comes out.. like… damn, things will be even more different

    Idk just something I keep thinking about

    Reply
    • Same though. I remember having a similar realization around when X/Y came out. After each main series release, I make an effort to take a moment to think about how much my life has changed since the previous one!

  31. It makes sense that Nintendo would be pressuring GameFreak into releasing or hastening the production and development of the Switch Pokemon games. Between 2010 and 2017, Pokemon has amassed over 71 million sales across its core series, Mystery Dungeon series, and Pokken. Furthermore, Pokemon is at an all-time high right now with both X/Y and Sun/Moon soon to breach 16 million sales and Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon likely to bring in sales upwards of 7-10 million. Nintendo understand that Pokemon is the bread and butter of their company at this point: if the Switch gained further traction by introducing a Pokemon title, then the tables will truly turn and competition will be in Nintendo’s favor. At the same time, if GameFreak, because they are pressured release a “bad” Nintendo Switch game in comparison to Windwaker and Odyssey, the backlash and disappointment will be quite adversarial to deal with. However, when taking into account that GameFreak has always planned ahead and have probably been working on a Pokemon Switch title since 2016 and the rushed release of Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon, they might have respectfully disinclined themselves from Nintendo’s pressures. Creating a ‘meh’ game that will boost sales for one quarter versus creating an “awe-inspiring” game that will boost sales for years on end… GameFreak better make the right choice…

    Reply
  32. I don’t think Nintendo “pressuring” GF is the same as them rushing. They’ve had easily 2 years already to start getting ready for this. (last year and this year) Usually production for their games takes somewhere around 3ish years. I wouldn’t even be surprised honestly if they knew something about the Switch back in 2015. They may not have had the developer unit for sure, but they would be one of the first companies that Nintendo proper would tell about the Switch. They were on the ground floor for the 3ds developer units too so it’s unsurprising if they got the Switch early too. If you count last year, this year and the better part of next year that’ll amount to almost 3 years. On top of that I’d say they’ve been developing in some pat gen 8 since 2015. They start conceptual work SUPER early for each gen so it’s not out of the question for that to have been a thing. Altogether it amounts 3 or more years of work toward the Switch game. That’s a pretty decent time period for them to get stuff ready. Plus on top of that they clearly have an understanding of how to properly create HD 3d models since most of the Pokemon models are in fact in HD, but are just scaled down to match the 3ds’ limitations. I see no reason anyone should worry about the Switch game. Not at this point anyway. We shouldn’t judge a game that we have absolutely no info on other than that it exists.

          • They prolly just don’t have a dex entry. It’s a really weird thing to do, but it is what it is. I imagine for VGC they’ll make a point to tell people what they can and can’t use. For average online play I’m sure you can use whatever you want. It’ll just be tricky for the actual competitions.

      • I think the reason is there are creatures coming from other dimensions other places etc., whole space time thing is fucked up as the generation itself.

        Whole UB thing was gimmick. Therefore they didn’t want to introduce a national dex them appearing in it. In next generaiton when there is national dex there won’t be any UB in them, there will just be Pokemon from this dimension. UBs will be long forgotten.

        Another possibility could be just Rotom being an asshole.

        This is just an opinion.

  35. Hi, I only came back just to ask if anyone has a Dream Ball Vulpix, or can train my Altaria up to 91, since I do not have a Rare Kitchen 5S. These GTS trades for a DB Vulpix is ridiculous.

    Don’t spoil me. ;_;

    • I love the choice of Cradily. Always loved the grass/rock type combo and want to see it used again. Forestress is an interesting choice. Personally I’d recommend Durant over it, but hey, that’s just me.

      • Cradily was an easy choice. It’s not perfect, but it’s bulky and I always intended to use it. Choosing Forretress surprised me too.

    • Stoutland and Cradily are two of my all time favorite pokemon. I used both competitively. cradily was when I was new to competitive so i did a weird set. Stoutland is one of my top pokemon in competitive.

      Reply
      • I’m curious – what kind of set with cradily did you use?

        As for stoutland, I’m thinking of using one or two elemental fangs for coverage (fire for sure).

  36. Okay, idk if this is common knowledge to everyone who has a Switch, but apparently there’s a battery pack stand that hooks into your Switch to give it a bunch of extra life in hand held mode. For me, this is a game changer because I play it almost exclusively in hand held and find myself running out of battery too quickly. Just thought I would tell y’all incase you’re like me and wanted something like this to come along.

    Also, I got my Daruk Amiibo today and might I say it’s gorgeous. Luckily the Urbosa one went back in stock this morning on Amazon and I was able to order one of hers <3

    • Urbosa is amazing, easily my favorite amiibo I own, with Revali as a close second, I can’t wait till I get Daruk and Mipha on Christmas! These are easily the best batch of amiibo yet!

      Reply
        • Yeah I can understand that, but if you can find them I recommend all of them, Revali and Urbosa both look GORGEOUS and from what I’ve seen Mipha and Daruk are too

          • Yeah honestly it kinda might bother me if I don’t have the set haha. But then again I don’t have the BotW Link or Zelda either. Thought theirs were just okay.

          • Yeah I’m missing rider link, Zelda and the Bokoblin, and I’m getting the other Champions for Christmas, I definitely find the champions way better than every other amiibo (ever) they look beautiful and would honestly be the only set I would feel bothered by not having

          • Definitely I’ve personally dubbed them as “The New Champions” I would buy all of them in a heartbeat as well, but obviously if I could only preorder one my gay ass would choose Sidon

          • I believe so, it was stated it takes place after beating Ganon, so it’s highly likely, and also possible they will help us, perhaps even some sort of thing where only they can sense the champions spirits, being there descendants/brother for some reason. Actually now that I think about it, was Tiba related to Revali?

      • Apparently IGN has been covering up a sexual harassment problem and even blamed the victim. It happened when one of their staff got harassed on multiple cases throughout the course of what I think was over a year. She complained to HR and they never did much. Eventually the guy was let go I think, but it was essentially on good terms. Now a large group of their staff has walked out on them due to this disgusting behavior.

        • Wtf how could anyone blame the victim?!! I know it happens a lot but seriously. That’s like saying the reason I’m far is because someone put chocolate in front of me, the chocolate was something I wanted but it’s not like I couldn’t resist it. Or like saying I stole something because I wanted it and it looked good, that doesn’t make it right

          Reply
    • Yep. IGN is filled with gross individuals. Sadly I still go there for news. Any suggestions for better pop-culture places that are less toxic?

      • Kotaku can be a good source of gaming news, but even then its parent company is weird. It’s terrible that so many of the bigger gaming sites are owned by awful people

  37. Imagine how cool mythicals in an open world Pokémon would be? So like when they’re downloaded into your game, you have to track them down in the wide open world to some of the most obscure and wonderful places, before capturing them in areas with amazing vistas.

    Reply
    • They kinda already did that on a smaller scale with like the roaming lake guardians from gen 4 so i can see that happening! They could add a device (like an app to the poketch or something) that allows you track them maybe or use clues and info to deduct where they may be

      Reply
    • Well I was hoping this would happen for a long time too, and these are some of the reasons why I want them want aside for feeling like a better way to obtain mythicals instead of just a distribution that doesn’t make much sense.

  38. No joke I sincerely hope that when USUM comes out, Celesteela just rocketing itself into the fucking sky becomes a meme. It looks hilarious and I have no idea why
