>>35274607Clearly you don't know about game design, at least not the design of these games.
If you did, you'd know Game Freak is the one who develops them and The Pokémon Company will be the ones to reveal them as the ones who handle all marketing for the series. Nintendo will copy paste an edited version or two of the trailers to their channel/twitter but they are the publisher, not the primary source of information.
Game Freak being especially important because if they said "We're done." The series is done because they're the ones who make up all the new stuff. Side series could theoretically continue and probably would for a time, but eventually everyone would move on as no new Pokémon were added.
>>35274708They didn't say it had just begun. In fact, we already knew they were working on titles for the Switch because they hired graphic designers for it months before who were set to be let go this spring AKA when development was intended to be finished because you don't fire people you still need.
