Game Freak Developing 'Pokémon Stars' Game For Nintendo Switch?
Speculations are rife that a new "Pokémon" game is in development for the Nintendo Switch, and a new job listing may support this theory. Is "Pokémon Stars" not just a rumor anymore?
According to Siliconera, Game Freak is apparently looking to hire employees to work on a new project that is a "globally popular RPG." The platform of the game will be a console, which lends credence to the Nintendo Switch rumor. The most interesting part about it is that the ad says that the project being developed is "a title that just about anyone knows."
Game Freak is looking for people who are versed in character modeling and 3D CG design. Those who have experience with developing characters for the Wii U and PS Vita using Maya, an animation software, are preferred.

Some believe that this could be an ad for "Pokémon Stars," a game that was rumored to be in the works last year. However, it is possible that it could be something entirely different. However, according to Game Rant, "Pokémon Stars" may just be a Switch port of "Pokémon Sun and Moon." Others argue that it could be an improved version of "Pokémon Sun and Moon" for the Nintendo Switch.
The publication points out that making and releasing a "Pokémon" game for the Nintendo Switch will boost interest in the console. However, that is not to say that Nintendo is having a hard time moving units. In fact, the company even had to increase production of the console because of the overwhelming demand.
Developing a "Pokémon" game for the Nintendo Switch is very understandable, though. It does not really come as a surprise since both products are owned by the same company. But since nothing has been officially confirmed as of this time, readers are advised to take this news with a grain of salt.
