The cliche "There's a first time for everything" comes to mind. Yeah, they haven't made a mainline Pokemon game for a console yet, but that doesn't mean that they won't. Especially because the reason they haven't done so is because of portability issues, which the Switch is specifically made to address.

You really don't know how I interchanged Nintendo and Game Freak when it came to Pokemon? Really?

They already are making two, in fact. We've known about the mainline Switch Pokemon game for nearly 3 years now, and Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee are coming in November.

No? We've only known about the Switch game for a year and Let's Go are considered mainline games even if they aren't generation eight.

They announced the Pokemon Switch game back in 2017's E3.

So I was off but we've known about it a while.

Oddly enough, this date almost feels more appropriate for spooky goings-on.

But yeah, not-summer is gonna be lit.

so I had Okami HD crash on me twice, once after learning the Fleetfoot technique, and once after loading a file (that happened a few days apart, not right after another, btw), is there something I could do aside from reaching out to Capcom somehow?

Forbes leaked Diablo III for switch, exclusive content, $60, and then pulled the article.

/r/NintendoSwitch has already got it pictured.

Not a leak anymore.

The news was meant to be announced tomorrow, but appeared today on Forbes in a post that’s since been deleted. Diablo III Eternal Collection on Switch will include the original game, the Reaper of Souls expansion, the Rise of the Necromancer pack, and all updates the game has received thus far. You’ll also be able to get an armor set that makes you look like Ganondorf from The Legend of Zelda, because I guess Ganondorf would be mad about the devil muscling in on his “crown prince of evil” turf.

Maybe it was just for this one game, but it's possible another flash Direct is coming tomorrow if that's when this was meant to drop.

Not saying that to get anyone's hopes up, but it's definitely possible.

Has someone made an "It prints money!" meme for the Switch yet? I think it's earned it by this point.

Those memes won't be the same without Iwata.

First Mario, then Luigi, now Reggie. Nintendo needs to stop killing all their important people.

The Dorf now has Hyrule's ultimate weapon as his pet, so I guess Link's screwed next time.

If we don't get this boxart, humanity has failed us honestly.
