'Pokémon' RPG for Switch to Be Released in '2018 or Later,' According to Nintendo
Nintendo is doing well, finance-wise, as the company released their latest financial report for December of 2017. What's more intriguing, however, is their projected release dates for some of their top franchises and exclusives, which, of course, includes a "Pokémon RPG for Nintendo Switch (temp)."
It's the exact designation for the upcoming "Pokémon" game as listed on Nintendo's Year-end financials report, which the company put out recently. For now, the upcoming game has been listed for the Japan, U.S. and Europe markets under the company's "Primary Nintendo Products" designation for the Nintendo Switch.
Opposite the temporary name, Nintendo has also noted a launch date for "2018 or later" for all three regions.

In the meantime, "Pokémon" fans can wait for a Nintendo Direct presentation that can pop up one of these days.
