The first-ever console Pokémon RPG is now in development for Nintendo Switch – that much we know so far. However, a bunch of rumors have surfaced regarding this highly-anticipated project. Read on below to learn more about these unconfirmed details:
- The Chinese localization team has already finished translating the games’ script
- There will be no new Mega Evolutions introduced in the new games
- Z-Moves return and now use motion control to activate using the Joy-Cons
- Central plot revolves around the conflict between tradition and innovation
- Region inspiration has been rumored to be Spain or Italy
- Release to come late 2018 (~December) or early 2019
The game reportedly features a new, simplified battle system that has been compared to that of the Digimon World titles. It has also been compared to the battle system of Pokkén Tournament in which moves are either attacks, blocks or grabs and work in a rock-scissors-paper fashion.
