Core Pokemon RPG in development for 2019

Alongside the announcements of Pokémon: Let's Go! Pikachu & Eevee and Pokémon Quest, The Pokemon Company was also certain to appease those looking for the next mainline RPG, stating that a core RPG title is in development for the latter half of 2019.

With #PokemonQuest and #PokemonLetsGo, there are so many new ways to explore the world of Pokémon! Trainers can look forward to even more with an all-new core series Pokémon RPG title in development for the second half of 2019!

We assume that this is the same game that was teased last summer as a core title for Nintendo Switch, but it is worth noting that today's tweet does not actually specify a platform. We'll have to wait patiently for more information.

Update - The Pokemon Company clarifies the new title is indeed for Nintendo Switch.

Finally, Mr. Masuda returned to the stage to give us a tease at the next major project in development. While Pokémon Quest and Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! represent new and different play styles, he let fans know that a new Pokémon core RPG, developed by GAME FREAK, is planned for launch on Nintendo Switch in late 2019!
