A full-fledged Pokémon RPG may finally be coming to a TV console

Some of the critters that may be coming to Nintendo Switch soon.

Even as Pokémon Sun and Moon hits the Nintendo 3DS today, Eurogamer is citing “multiple sources” in reporting that a hybrid game titled Pokémon Star will be coming to the Nintendo Switch.

Pokémon Star would follow the pattern Nintendo set nearly two decades ago, where the “split” initial release of two Pokémon games with slightly different monsters (i.e., Pokémon Red and Blue) is followed in the near future by a hybrid game that essentially remasters the previous two (i.e., Pokémon Yellow).

What would make Pokemon Star unique is the fact that it would be coming to a different console than the games combined within. Star would also be notable as the first “mainline” Pokemon RPG designed to be played on a TV—other home console Pokémon titles have been spin-offs, usually focused on battling monsters from previous releases. The Switch’s hybrid nature as a TV-based console and a portable would help explain why a Pokémon RPG is finally coming “home.”
