  1. Hi guys. Cool Thing about GO. I ould prticipate if I played.
    They are deveoping a main series on Switch, so I was wrong they wont stay on 3ds. But luckily it wont be for more than a year, so I have time. Honestly I think this means no Pokemon game next ear.

    • I’m thinking, if it is released in 2019, they might have another 3DS entry beforehand but that’s just my guess

  2. I was laughing like a kid watching that Superstar Saga trailer. This is absolutely a dream come true. Is this going to be a physical cartridge?

    • Yup! It should be! I seriously cried when I saw it. It looks so good! Nintendo needs to stop making me play my 3DS so much!

  3. I SWEAR THEY NEED TO NERF RECOVERY MOVES
    I was using my Fighting Mono in monotype and this stupid wannabe Ground Mono only one because he spammed Slack Off until Pangoro’s Drain Punch was drained
    Attacks get stale the more you use them and do less damage but with recover moves it’s always the same amount and can be used in succession

  5. Well, as the E3 dust settles, Nintendo seriously killed it this year! Lots of first party titles coming to the Switch and 3DS. Anyways, the new core Pokemon game should have been a teaser in the spotlight similar to Metroid Prime 4. Pokemon Stars is basically Ultra Sun and Moon, so that’s the last 3DS Pokemon RPG from GameFreak. I’m glad their finally moving to the Switch. I feel like they’ll start fresh with Generation 8 or surprise everyone with D/P or FR/LG remakes. Honestly, GameFreak could do anything and I’ll be happy!
