Game Freak is treating Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon because the “culmination” of the collection on Nintendo 3DS.
Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon would be the final core title within the collection for 3DS because of the sport having pushed the “absolute limits” of the hand-held system.
Speaking with IGN, Game Freak director Shigeru Ohmori stated the group thought it had drawn all it may from 3DS wth the discharge of Pokemon X & Y. When Sun and Moon was being developed, the 3DS system was “completely redesigned,” however the group ended up pushing the newer system “even further to what we thought was the most we could draw out of it.”
“With Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, we’ve tried to eke that out more and really, really push the system to its absolute limits,” he told IGN. “We’re now feeling that maybe that is the utmost of what we will get out.
“So we’re really treating Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon as the culmination of our work with the 3DS system.”
Ohmori wouldn’t touch upon whether or not the collection would transfer on to Nintendo Switch as soon as Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon releases on November 17. The is a brand new Pokemon RPG within the works for Switch, which was teased at E3 2017 this yr.
Nintendo didn’t elaborate on the title, solely that it was in growth. Whether its an RPG related or mirroring the Pokemon video games accessible on 3DS stays to be seen.
