The Pokemon Twitter confirmed it's a brand new Pokemon, so yeah, a generation 8 one. So this is basically gen 7.5 that's meant as a way to get the Pokemon GO players into the main series. I really hate the catching mechanics in GO, but I'll still probably get this. Although I have to say that I'm disappointed that it's still being sold in versions, but now at full price. They really can't get away with any enhanced version releases at this point.

Dang, I was hoping for more real-proportion characters like in Pokemon Battle Revolution...
And of course, the commentator. (MORRRROHA NO DUSUKI GA SAKURETSU!!!!) Yeah, that would motivate me to play online so much. Anyways, I will take a look at it. Still needs more information.

That and those gamers who, while familiar with the Pokemon franchise, haven't played the handheld games (for instance, I can so see me probably or my older brother picking this up as an Xmas gift for my niece, who, while familiar with the franchise due to the card game, only has a Switch when it comes to portable gaming).

It's a remake of Yellow, but as a side game instead of a main game. The main two reasons they made it obviously are to get new people into the series, especially the GO crowd, and to finally get a playable game on the Switch, since they won't rush gen 8.

There are over 800 Pokemon at this point. Just the modeling work alone would years. It's physically impossible. Even if you limited the roster to just the initial 151 Pokemon, that's still at least ten times more models than what BoTW had. |

Yellow version was just a promotion for the anime and is NOT part of the main series/universe. So this being the spin off makes complete and total sense.
