I'm very happy it's moving to a more console-tier level of hardware, but I'm equally worried. The Switch is nice, and I think the Pokemon formula will mesh perfectly, but I cant fully trust Gamefreak.
I'm not expecting a BotW, they dont need to go balls to the wall like Zelda did for it to be good. But they really need to open the game up at least a little. Give at least SOME sense of exploration. At least something. The past several games have been glorified hallways, and tons of my friends have fallen off of Pokemon because of how dreadfully boring the main games are nowadays. All I ask for is to ease off of the hand holding storyline, and give players time to breath, run around, do shit with more freedom. Dont gotta skyrim that shit, just take the babby training wheels off for a fucking minute.
In addition, and more likely, if they can really take advantage of the better processing and touch some stuff up, they can get that full Sugi-styled aesthetic in game, similar to how Dragon Quest has done. That shit is beautiful, and despite how awful it looks now, they ARE on the right track.
