When Mario Kart 8 came out, Wii U sales skyrocketed. There was an almost 700% increase in sales. In addition to that, the game had an unprecedented attach rate.

The Pokemon Go fad may not have lasted long, but it certainly left quite the impression. With the way the Switch is being marketed, they'll very likely appeal to that crowd. If the game is a full blown 1st gen remake, or even just a return to Kanto with a revamped story, I could see it doing pretty well.

The system is already selling like crazy, but Pokemon and Smash will make it sell even more.

Wii U may have done shitty in general but 10 million isn't "nothing." Pokemon games have absurdly high attach rates, and with Pokemon Go leaving a lot of older "retired" with a craving for a real Pokemon experience, it has potential to move like crazy.

Pokemon would move a lot, but not as many as the MK8 Wii U situation. In that case, less people overall had Wii Us at the time so there was also more potential for big spikes in console sales compared to the Switch. I will say that a console Pokemon game was sorta in the back of my head when I bought my Switch, although like 80% of it was for Odyssey.

What exactly do you mean "Pokemon Stadium mode?" Because it's already got 3D battles on the tv.

Uhh, that's purely speculation. We have 0 details about the game. They may stick with hand-held style multiplayer battles meaning you'll still need 2 Switches to play the game versus a friend in the same room.

Pokemon games have had 3D battles for two
The Switch can be played on the TV.
Therefore, Pokemon Switch will have 3D battles on the TV.

Unless you think they're going back to sprites for some reason?

Wow. I must be really out of the loop. Which main pokemon game lets you play 2 players on the same system?

Like giving your friend a controller and having a local battle on the one screen.

Some minigames and stuff too would be cool.

I never said that. Look at what you responded to.

If by "Pokemon Stadium mode" he meant "local multiplayer with a single cart," than yeah, that's still a variable.

Ah. Yeah, hopefully there is a reasonable way to do this. There are already quite a few minigames in the mainline pokemon games, so I doubt you'll have to worry much about that.
