All New Original Pokémon RPG Also On The Way In 2019
At today’s Pokémon press event the Pokémon Company finally revealed what’s in the works. First up is Pokémon Quest, a free to start game for the Switch and mobile devices where all of the Pokémon have been turned into cubes! This action/RPG looks fun enough, but the real meat and potatoes arrives on November 16, 2018 with Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! These two games are based on Pokémon Yellow, but have entirely new gameplay mechanics and of course look better than ever.
They also revealed that an all-new core series Pokémon RPG is in the works and should arrive in the second half of 2019. This will most likely be the big budget release everyone will be looking forward to on the Switch.
