I really think Nintendo should release a Switch Mini before Switch Pokemon drops. I personally would really love it. The Switch as it is now is hardly pocketable.

LMAO! What?! Did OP really just say in the comments the new Pokémon Switch won’t be as successful? So just because your friends won’t play on the TV it won’t be successful?

I didn't say it won't be successful. I think a lot of the players that makeup the Pokemon fanbase though, are portable gamers. Many of them only own a 3DS and don't buy Nintendo's home consoles.

Pokémon fans have been DREAMING of a full fledged HD RPG. The Switch’s sales numbers are increasing by the month. Combine those 2 together and you’ll be looking at GTA 5 sales. Pokémon has appeal to a whole range of audiences.

What I said has nothing to do with the desire for an HD Pokemon. I know a lot of people want an HD Pokemon. I'm fucking excited for the Switch one. But it doesn't change the fact that many Pokemon players play exclusively handheld and don't buy home consoles. If they are missing that form factor, they might hold off.
