There’s no official news as of yet from Nintendo, but six years is usually about right as a gap between systems and the Switch came out in 2017, so that initially put 2023 in the frame for a new console.Īdd to that the fact that there was a new Zelda game out in 2023 with Tears Of The Kingdom following up on Breath Of The Wild and you have a lot of clues to pursue. That’s all of our possible next Pokémon game options covered, but there’s a big question mark about the console it’ll come out on. What console will the next Pokémon game release on? You can read more about the prospect of this in the section below. The last game was an open zone game and with the issues Scarlet and Violet had with going fully open world it might be better to save a Black and White Legends title for future technologies. Our top pick was Pokémon Black and White, and with a large Unova region, which wasn’t fully explored in the original game, it could be a big future project for the Legends series. This would set it in Galar and with all of the mysteries and legendary story arcs it’s hard to discount it.Īnother option is that they do something similar to Arceus and wait for one of the remakes mentioned above to come out and then go back in time for that region. It’s definitely got its merits, although, the other possibility is that they make a Legends game based on Sword and Shield. That would give it an ancient Kanto region setting, which would be pretty cool, along with possible links in the story for Mew and Mew Two in the mix. It seems unlikely that there would be a Pokémon Legends title without a remake and with Diamond and Pearl already covered in Arceus that just leaves Let’s Go Pikachu and Let’s Go Eevee. It had the Ultra treatment a year later, so it’ll be surprising to get a remake so soon after its initial release. It’s the game we’d most like to see next, but it only came out on the Nintendo 3DS in 2016. The only other remake contender is Sun and Moon. It was the second most successful Pokémon game on the Nintendo DS behind Diamond and Pearl, which adds to the potential of it being the next game to come out after Scarlet and Violet. It’s set in the Unova region, which was modeled on New York, complete with seasonal cycles and big city streets. It was the first installment of generation 5. Latest details on the "Super Switch", the next Nintendo console? Pokémon Black and White, on the other hand came out on the standard DS hand-held console back in 2010, so it’s not quite as recent. The only games not to get a remake yet are Pokémon Black and White (and its sequel), and X and Y, so these are the most likely contenders for the next game.īoth would be a lot of fun, but X and Y came out on the 3DS in 2013, which wasn’t that long ago, so maybe it’s the less likely of the two. That gives it a lot of potential older gamers that would pick it up for nostalgia’s sake, as well as the newer generation of players.Īnother option is Ruby and Sapphire, which first came out in 2002 on the Game Boy Advance, but it also had a remake with Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire re-porting it for the Nintendo 3DS in 2014. It’s done some pretty big sales numbers over the years with a little over 42 million copies sold worldwide across the three versions of the game – the original, Pokémon Crystal and the 2009 remake. However, it’s possible that it’s less likely considering the fact that Gold and Silver has already had one update already. In fact, maybe it would be easier to do a Switch port with the slightly updated remake in play. The first of these is Gold and Silver, but this has already had a Heart and Soul remake for the Nintendo DS in 2009. With two remakes in the bag and Pokémon Legends Arceus acting as an ancient prequel to Diamond and Pearl, that leaves just 5 options for the next game.
