If today’s Pokemon announcements have been disappointing to you, then the last game announcement may interest you. The official Pokemon Twitter has announced that “an all-new core series Pokémon RPG title in development for the second half of 2019”. The game will be “in the style of X and Y and Sun and Moon”, and it’s coming to the Switch. We’ve included the official info below.
With #PokemonQuest and #PokemonLetsGo, there are so many new ways to explore the world of Pokémon! Trainers can look forward to even more with an all-new core series Pokémon RPG title in development for the second half of 2019! pic.twitter.com/d5uiIpenMI

2019 core RPG (untitled) is set to be "in the style of X and Y and Sun and Moon". This should appease competitive players, with Let's Go! aimed at a broad audience, "a core RPG for everyone".

YES I mean 2019 late 2019 kinda sucks but it is great I was just in a huff over go pikachu and this is the best thing I heard all day
2019 sounds a bit too far away but at least I will have an Eevee in the meantime.
New generation next year. CALLED IT.
Of all these new games, they should have made a “Pokemon Stadium” counterpart.
That bit of news would have shook the planet. lol.
Why? They’re already making a full blown title for Switch. A “Stadium” version would be entirely redundant.
What would be redundant about the different stadiums, the Gym Leader Castle (we have gym leaders from gens 3-6 to catch up to), the mini-games, the Pokémon Academy, and Free Battles, all with the option of rental Pokemon?
Not to mention new ideas that they could implement in Stadium.
This could not have gone better, thank goodness!
So you think we’ll see anything at E3 for the 2019 game?
I hope so
I honestly doubt it but who knows? Maybe.
same.
This single tweet turned the Let’s Go announcement from Meh to great news
Exactly
Please don’t continue the GO mechanics trend…
Well, at least they left something behind after the announcement.
I might be the minority here, but I think this is great in Nintendo’s part. By doing this, they keep the mainstream fans here by announcing a core game in 2019, while still hitting the hammer while the metal is hot with Go. I’m not a Go fan but hey it will hold me over till then, and with a new Smash Brothers, we don’t really need Pokemon Gen VIII yet.
Pokémon Go is mainstream, the 2019 will be for real Pokémon fans.
with Let’s Go! aimed at a broad audience, “a core RPG for everyone”.
I wouldn’t call simply waving the joycon to win at random encounters a core rpg
Also, the original games were aimed at a broad audience, this isn’t. I felt turned off by the ad because I’m adverse to avocado and soymilk
I thought pokemon lets go were main series games. Thank the lord they aren’t.
Please show something at E3 this year. I’ll gladly take a concept teaser trailer just to know what the hell I’m gonna be getting into with the next game. More importantly, I want to know if I can transfer my Pokemon on my 3DS games on to it.
For the main games next year I’m sure 3DS transfer will be possible. I’m good with Let’s GO for this year as a way to get me back in the series 🙂
I might change my mind about Let’s GO Eevee if the price for these games aren’t more than 30-40 bucks & if there is something new to collect from them. Like if they give Zapdos, Articuno, Moltres, & Mew a Primal form and give Mewtwo a new non-Mega Evolution form. If armored Mewtwo pops up as attainable, I’m sold. Only if I can catch it, that is. If I can’t nickname it, I don’t want it.
What was I thinking, I owe Emily Rogers an apology. These Pokemon GO styled Pokemon games for the Switch are just under the category of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon and Pokemon Ranger, with the next Core Pokemon games with More Pokemon to encounter, a new region to explore, and new aspects to witness is actually due next year, lucky for us Pokemon fans.
Err, no. She said “Pokémon Switch being revealed this month”. As in the core RPG series. It didn’t get revealed, so she’s still wrong.
Are you being serious right now? Smfh
He’s right. The entire premise of her rumors was that Nintendo would reveal the mainline Pokemon game for Nintendo Switch in May 2018 which is what we didn’t get this month. So Emily Rogers was wrong in that regard. She was also wrong that Let’s GO Pikachu & Let’s GO Eevee would be the mainline game’s names. But fret not. She will still have plenty of other chances to get something right. Or wrong.
In the video presentation they say these are main series games but more casual. It’s easy to see where wires could get crossed as info passes down but she still nailed this reveal. This is nothing but desperate grasping at straws to say she was wrong. Oh, and the big main games were still confirmed here 😉
Remakes will never be mainline Pokemon entries. They are spin offs. Plain & simple. It’d be a different story if they were reboots, though, but they aren’t. And if I read Tsunekazu Ishihara’s words in the Q&A article correctly, even he doesn’t consider these games as mainline entries as he only considers next year’s Pokemon games as main entries.
Um, every remake so far has been a mainline entry. These may be skewing casual but throughout the presentation they were referred to as main games, just not “core.”
Just admit Emily was right with this reveal.
Mainline means it progresses the series with the introduction of a new gen of Pokemon. The Let’s Go games don’t introduce a new gen as they are sticking to the original 151. So I can’t admit to what I believe isn’t right. I will concede that she COULD be right, though, but that’s as far as I’m willing to go.
Rumor: “The next games coming are Let’s Go! Pikachu and Eevee and these are the features.”
*these exact games get announced*
You: “she COULD be right.”
/logic
When you break the rumors down to their base point, of course she’s right. But from what I recall she was speaking as if these were the next mainline Pokemon games which they aren’t. These aren’t the Pokemon Switch games we were expecting & I’m pretty sure that included her.
And I’ve already explained that this could’ve been a case of confusion with info on next year’s games as no one was expecting two sets of games coming within two years. You really can’t give credit where it’s due can you?
If she got confused because she had misinformation, she’s still wrong. If I get confused & think I’m going North when I’m actually going South, I’m still wrong. I don’t magically become right because I was confused.
Iger other info was on next year’s games that means she’s still credible. Also we’re all only human. Your example is nowhere close to how she still nailed this reveal. Man up and admit she was right.
An announcement saying the mainline Pokemon Switch games are coming in the second half of 2019 does not equal a reveal. That’s like saying that short little teaser trailer showing nothing but a name for Metroid Prime 4 to let us know it’s in development was a reveal; it’s not as a reveal requires more than just a name. In case you missed it, I’ll quote my second comment to you from last night before I signed off. “I will give her credit for what she got right like the name, some of the gameplay, & the Pokemon GO interactions. But I’ll never budge on the mainline games part. It’s not gonna happen.”
I will give her credit for what she got right like the name, some of the gameplay, & the Pokemon GO interactions. But I’ll never budge on the mainline games part. It’s not gonna happen.
Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of the rumors we heard were mistakenly combined as if they were one set of games rather than two different ones. Every one assumed there was only one set in the pipeline coming soon.
MikeS: He is de-facto right, Let’s Go isn’t core game. Core game is coming in late 2019.
THIS! This is how you do it!
“This year we are trying something a little different that we think you’ll enjoy. Don’t worry though! We have something for our hardcore fans planned for next year.”
Everyone wins.
Emily Rogers wrong again. Nothing new around here.
She said “Pokémon Switch (i.e.: the core series) being revealed this month”. We already know that it wasn’t the case.
So maybe people could start to blacklist her already?
Scrap that Let’s Go garbage and let’s hype Pokémon 2019!
Why do people think next years Pokemon will be any different though? Won’t it be the same style as shown today just a new world ? I was expecting something completely new like Breath of the Wild was for Zelda , possibly open world with online other people moving around and such. After today I doubt we will get that any time soon , they keep doing the same stuff as 20 years ago just like they do with most of there franchises.
Some new mechanis doesn’t cut it for me btw , wish we got totally new gameplay.
Wait until they reveal details regarding the 2019 title before jumping to conclusions.
I hope your right ;)
Honestly, I’m worried that you’re right. But agreed. Let’s hope he’s right.
You know it’s just going to reuse assets from Let’s Go, right?
