Pokemon Sun and Moon are the biggest pre-selling games in Nintendo’s history, and according to rumors, a new version could be under development for the Nintendo Switch. We knew almost nothing about the console until recently, whereas today it looks as though Pokemon could be coming to a home console for the first time. Also leaked information about its launch day lineup has been revealed.
Nintendo Switch to get Pokemon Stars
Pokemon Sun and Moon could get a third version, and it could be under development for the Nintendo Switch now. That’s what Eurogamer suggests. Apparently, multiple sources have told the gaming site that a third game is in the works, it will be ready in 2017, and it goes by the name of Pokemon Stars.
While we don’t know if this is true, it is believable, especially if you take into account that earlier games saw a third one launch later. For example, Pokemon Yellow came third in line after Red and Blue. With Pokemon Stars, it could be that Nintendo wants to revive this practice, but for the Nintendo Switch.
