Nintendo has just announced the first Pokemon game that will be coming to Nintendo Switch. It’s called Pokemon Quest and will be a free-to-start game where Pokemon from the Kanto region have been turned into boxy, cube-like characters.
Nintendo also confirmed that the game would be coming to both mobile and Nintendo Switch. It’s expected that Nintendo will announce another game (a core RPG) in the next hour.
So far, we don’t know a whole lot about the game, but it does appear to be more adventure based with a focus on action and exploration.
