E3 2018 is fast approaching, which means excitement for big announcements is building. Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, Bethesda, Ubisoft, and more will be bringing trailers and (hopefully) some surprises to the show, so now it’s time for some speculation! Though not confirmed to appear during Nintendo’s E3 2018 presentation, the upcoming Nintendo Switch Pokemon game is high on our wishlist this year. Here’s everything we know about the game and everything we really want to see come June.

A new Pokemon game for Nintendo Switch was announced at E3 2017. Tsunekazu Ishihara, president and CEO of The Pokemon Company, appeared during Nintendo’s presentation to tease the game. He called it “a core RPG Pokemon title” developed by Game Freak for Nintendo Switch, saying it might not release for over a year. Game Freak has developed all the main Pokemon RPGs; the spinoff games are made by other studios.
What’s Confirmed For E3
Currently, it’s not known whether the Pokemon Switch game will appear during Nintendo’s E3 2018 presentation. Nintendo has previously stated that its briefing will focus more on games releasing soon, rather than those launching after 2018; however, this is the same structure as the 2017 presentation in which Pokemon Switch was announced, so there’s room for some future-focused reveals.
What We Hope To See At E3
Because we know so little about this game, the least we can ask for is some basic details: what it’s called, where it’s set, and whether it introduces new Pokemon would be a good starting point. But one of the biggest questions is how this next generation of Pokemon will look on Switch, which means getting a proper trailer. 3D Pokemon games are relatively new–at least for the main RPGs–and because Switch is far more powerful than 3DS, there’s more potential for some big changes to the look of the game.
If we’re really going all-out with our wishlist, then we’d love it if the game were playable on the show floor–and in that case, why not get a release date or window for good measure? Maybe it’s not exactly likely, but we can hope.
