In 2018 we will still continue to hype up Pokemon, so please look forward to it.Click to expand...If this refers to the mainline Pokémon game that's coming to the Switch is uncertain. But considering that we already know that Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon are the last mainline Pokémon games that the 3DS will ever get, I'd say that the chances of this referring to Pokémon Switch are pretty good. If that's the case, then a 2018 release for the game(s) may end up happening, as The Pokémon Company doesn't usually drag out hype cycles beyond the year of the reveal as of recently.Source: Famitsu (quote found on GoNintendo)
