Rumors have been circling for a while, but a new description of the Nintendo Switch on retailer GameStop\u2019s website suggests that a Pok\u00e9mon game will be coming to the Nintendo Switch console.
Spotted by a NeoGAF user, the description of the console on the GameStop website read \u201cNintendo Switch games will include new title offerings from Mario, Splatoon, Zelda, the NBA and more! You will even be able to play Skyrim on the go, or Pok\u00e9mon at home with the Nintendo Switch.\u201d
Interestingly, this section of the listing has now been removed. Whether that means it was an accidental leak or fixing the mistake of an overzealous copywriter is unclear.
Since the days of Red and Blue, Pok\u00e9mon has been a handheld-first franchise. Though we got the chance to play titles such as Pok\u00e9mon Stadium on the big screen, Game Freak never took the mainline games down this route.
The idea of a Pok\u00e9mon game coming to the Nintendo Switch was first floated around in November after Eurogamer reported that multiple sources were claiming the Switch game had been developed alongside Sun and Moon.
It\u2019s suspected that the game will be a director\u2019s cut of Sun and Moon titled Pok\u00e9mon Stars.
Nintendo hasn\u2019t commented on the rumors, but we might not have to wait long to find out since Nintendo\u2019s big Switch event on January 12 is fast approaching.
In a Treehouse Livestream following the main press conference , Nintendo has said we\u2019ll get the chance to see more about the games that will be available on the Switch console, one of which could very well be this mysterious Pok\u00e9mon game.<\/p>\n
