Since a mainline Pokemon has never graced a Nintendo home console, fans of the franchise are waiting to see if and when it will make an appearance on Switch. Of course, there has been plenty of speculation regarding a third version of Pokemon Sun/Moon for the platform.
When asked about Switch in a new Spanish interview, Game Freak’s Junichi Masuda said:
“Without a doubt, Nintendo Switch is the future, but we will have to wait until it goes out on the market and study how it can benefit from Pokemon. When people have it, we will have too see and deeply study how to use it so we can think how the next entries of Pokemon are going to be and how the saga can benefit from the new console.”
Masuda also mentioned that Pokemon has always evolved with Nintendo consoles, and will continue to do so. With the technology that’s available, they’ll explore how to highlight the series’ important aspect of communication.
The second generation of Pokemon are officially coming to Pokemon GO. Togepi, Pichu, as well as select Pokemon from Gold and Silver are live in the game. These can be found by visiting and spinning PokeStops to acquire Eggs.
This is just the beginning of the Johto region’s presence in Pokemon GO. What’s available in Pokemon GO today are the first of more creatures coming to the game “over the next few months.”
Pokemon GO players can also encounter a special-edition Pikachu, who comes wearing a festive hat to celebrate the holiday season. It’ll be in the game through December 29 at 11 AM PT / 2 PM ET.

Miitopia, Nintendo’s Mii-themed RPG, has just been released in Japan, but a Western release date is not yet in sight. However, we have possibly just gotten the first hint of the game being localized. User tonyh24613 on Twitter posted a screenshot of a loading screen in Miitomo, which mentions Miitopia. However, the user’s country was set to Japan, which might be the reason why he saw that loading screen, but it’s nonetheless noteworthy that Miitopia is being acknowledged in English by Nintendo.
