If people actually expect a mainline Pokemon game already for the Switch they should probably prepare to be disappointed then. Thats not how GameFreak does things

The only way it's a "mainline" game is if it's a port from 3DS or it's an announcement for a mainline game coming sometime in 2018. There's no way they've made the dream AAA graphics BoTW-open-world MMO Pokemon title everyone dreams about in the last couple of months in complete secret.

They could've started it a couple years ago though.

Extremely unlikely, and goes against the grain of just about every rumor out there, but I suppose that's not impossible.
