So let’s switch things up

You can go ahead and file this one under “Wellyeah!” but here goes anyway:Pokémon Ultra SunandUltra Moonare said to be Game Freak’s final mainlinePokémonentries developed for Nintendo 3DS.

Director Shigeru Ohmori elaborated in an interview withIGN. “When we were makingPokémon XandY, we really were trying to push the 3DS system to its absolute limits – which is what we thought we’d done. But whenSunandMooncame around, we completely redesigned the system, and actually ended up pushing the 3DS even further to what we thought was the most we could draw out of it.”

“WithUltra SunandUltra Moon, we’ve tried to eke that out more and really, really push the system to its absolute limits, and we’re now feeling that perhaps this is the maximum of what we can get out. So we’re really treatingUltra SunandUltra Moonas the culmination of our work with the 3DS system.”

Although next month’sUltratitles are shaping up to be more interesting than I initially expected, yeah, I am so ready for Game Freak toshift overto Nintendo Switch. Let’s do this thing already.
