Since the media won't publish this in any facet this early (and Reddit Mods, though verified, credible Niantic Employee source refuse to release it out of fear of Nintendo persecution; protip - I'm one of them)


I'll do it for them.


You're welcome, /vp/

March 2018 -
Pokemon (Codename: World)
Switch -

Launching aside it-
Official Pokemon GO (Switch)

Pokemon Go will implement trading between Switch & *some* Mobile Devices

*Through a special method like Pokemon Bank, specific Pokemon will be allowed through the system.

*Pokemon EV's will not carry, only 3 IV's. HP/Atk/Def: 31's will be reduced to 15's. Injected Pokemon -will- be able to be used.

*Legendary Pokemon will NOT be allowed to transfer. Not even with local vicinity Trading

*Global ''Trading'' will be done through Pokemon World & Global Trade will not be coming to Pokemon Go

*Regionals and other exclusives WILL be tradeable between the Game to ''Bank'' to Mobile; no trade-backs from Mobile to Game (for obvious reasons)

*Unreleased Pokemon (not in Mobile code) will obviously not be allowed to be traded/will not trade with the Bank.

*Certain Ex-Raid Pokemon will NOT be tradeable (for Event exclusives)

And that's that.

World Wide Launch date is slated for March of 2018 but will likely be pushed back to June/July.

Pokemon Go will have up to Generation 3 and some alternate forms (found in the upcoming 2018 release)

Pokemon World will be a Sandbox Open World. You can choose which cities/towns/gyms to visit first (if you can get past obstacles requiring you to acquire a Pokemon's help/badges/TM(HM)s.

Multiple ways to play, multiple ways to travel.

There will be limited post-game content, Micro-transactions planned, and DLC (time released) content. Including New Regions (old Regions revisited)

This will be the first of 4 titles (planned so far) for Switch.

I'd suggest capping this as it's the most legitimate leak you'll ever have, news of this will first be released/teased March 1st, 2018.
