The Next Core Pokémon Game Is Currently In Development For Switch
Nintendo didn't have have any screenshots or gameplay to offer during its presentation, but The Pokémon Company did confirm the next original, core Pokémon game will be for Switch and is currently in development.
The president and CEO of The Pokémon Company, Tsunekazu Ishihara, appeared on the Spotlight presentation to deliver the news. Ishihara said the game is in development for Switch, but it won't be releasing this year.
Last week, Nintendo had to clarify that its upcoming Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are 3DS exclusives and will not be coming to Switch after a "clerical error". Whatever this game ultimately becomes, it will be for Switch.

We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
