- confirmed to be a proper game in the Sun/ Moon, X/ Y style, i.e. no pokemon Go stuff.

If anyone missed what was in the e3 thread. It seems they're about to announce this year's pokemon plus some other things. Its a mainline pokemon called lets go eevee/ pikachu. Rumoured to be a yellow remake tied into pokemon go, its not the main big RPG game freak are wroking on - that's next year.

So this might be 3ds graphics/ engine but on the switch.

Haven't they recently remade other original games? Why was this one doubted so much?

Its not really a remake. Also people thought this would be a proper new gen game, hence the confusion.

Niantic are confirmed to be there, so there's the pokemon go integration.

Lol the Era thread is moving so fast. You'd think this was an E3 streams with megatons being dropped all over the place.
