RUMOR: Nintendo Developing Handheld-Only Switch Mini?

The Nintendo Switch is a hot commodity and has exceeded sales expectations across the board. Bloomberg has published speculation by analysts that a new variation of the home console could remove the docking feature and solely be a handheld gaming device.

Citigroup Inc. […] expect the Kyoto-based company to release a smaller version of the Switch in the fiscal year through March 2019, according to analysts including Minami Munakata, Kota Ezawa and Alicia Yap. — Via Bloomberg

Interesting speculation which may mean a lot for Pokémon fans if a main franchise title does indeed end up on the Nintendo Switch.

If there were a handheld-only version though, would it defeat the purpose of the “Switch”? Weigh in below!

  1. …. why are there just as many fire/fighting type starters as there is mono grass and mono water starters?
    Why are all the fire starters bipedal.
    Why wasn’t Samurott Water/Fighting

  4. Good news, my hatred for Salazzle has dropped from 8 to 6 over time.

    Still annoyed at GF for giving it the Combee treatment. If all Salandit had been female I could have let it slide, but nope, had to make another Combee ; n ;

  5. So,I just came up with an idea for a Sentai series.It’s Pokemon themed,I’m thinking about calling it Pocket Sentai Monranger (or something like that).I’m thinking about this for the plot:Mythical creatures known as Pokemon inhabit the Earth.They come in various different shapes and sizes,as well as each of them having unique powers.5 teenagers from the real world are sent over to the Pokemon world to defend it from *insert villain name here*,but they can’t do it alone.5 Pokemon transfer over their powers to the group to help them fight against the menace threatening the world.Can they do it? What will happen to them? Can they return home?

    That’s about it so far.If anyone has any ideas they’d like to share,go ahead.

  6. It’s a shame Oricorio ended up having such a terrible move pool.

    They should have given each variation access to type-specific moves instead of just loading it with flying/normal moves.

  7. Thinking about Season 1 of Steven Universe with all of the mysteries and potential for characters makes me sad. But hey, if it taught me anything, it is how NOT to do an animated show.

    – Always plan out your story
    – Keep characters consistant
    – Keep character designs consistants
    – Use height charts
    – Color pallets are important
    – Pretty art is important
    – If a character fucks up repeatedly (Pearl) don’t let them get away with it.
    – A small amount of heavily developed characters is better than many undeveloped characters

  8. I’m contemplating writing a Pokemon-centric story where all the characters are based on Pokejungle users.

    Please somebody talk me out of it.
