Pokemon star release on switch
However, speculations suggest that the video game will be officially announced at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2017 event next month. "Pokémon Star" is currently an unconfirmed video game anticipated to arrive as an official game for the latest Switch console. The listing hinted that the hires will work on a "globally popular RPG," which instantly sparked hope that a new "Pokémon" game is in development for the Nintendo Switch. In the past, "Pokémon" developer Game Freak also created two job listings looking to hire people to work on an unannounced project. A year ago, Eurogamer reported on Pokémon Stars, an expanded version of Pokémon Sun and Moon which sources had told us was then pegged for release on Nintendo Switch this Christmas. This line of merchandise is given the tagline "Look Upon the Stars," and many fans believe that this seems to suggest that "Pokémon Star" is in fact making its way to the Switch. It was previously reported that a new line of "Pokémon" merchandise is being sold in Japan. This latest bit of evidence is added to previous speculations that "Pokémon Star" is indeed being developed as video game for the Nintendo Switch. This is also further supported by the fact that shortly before the announcement of the "Pokémon Sun and Moon," the URL "/neji" - which is the Japanese word for "moon" - also redirected to the "Pokémon" website's homepage. "Hoshi" is the Japanese word for "star," and this new discovery is considered to be a significant find as it means that someone from the gaming company has deliberately set up the redirect mechanism when typing the "Hoshi" URL.

It is important to keep in mind that this does not even remotely pass for an official confirmation. Which is why this newest tease by a new line of Pokemon merchandize, just introduced in Japan, is intriguing- the collection is very literally named ‘Look Upon The Stars’, which seems to be as clear an allusion as anything to the long rumored game. By all indications, it is an expanded release of Pokemon Sun/Moon on the new system- so why is there so much excitement about it? Because Stars, if real, will mark the series’ debut on home consoles (inasmuch as the Nintendo Switch is a home console) and in glorious HD. Pokemon Stars is expected to be the series’ debut on the Nintendo Switch, slated to release later this year according to rumors.
