'Pokemon Stars' Rumors: 3DS Follow Up To Be Unveiled in E3 2017?
Nintendo is rumored to be unveiling the "Pokémon" 3DS follow-up and its Nintendo Switch offering, "Pokémon Stars," quite soon.
According to Mic, the teaser for "Pokémon Stars" will happen this May, while the official announcement might take place a month after during the 2017 Electronic Entertainment Expo. Nintendo will reportedly opt for a Direct presentation in the event. Already, eagle-eyed fans are noticing the empty spot on the Nintendo Direct archives, fueling speculations that a new announcement is happening soon. What makes it more interesting is that the company chose to remove the old Pokémon teaser a month before the upcoming E3.
Meanwhile, fans may expect big Pokémon news to be released this month. Based on Nintendo's tendency to give out full details of its new games in the month of May, it looks like a teaser for "Pokémon Stars" will soon be unveiled. In the past years, news on "Pokémon Sun and Moon," "Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire" and "Pokémon X and Y" have all been released on the fifth month of the year. The chance that "Pokémon Stars" is the next to debut in the series is said to be huge, as Nintendo will likely prioritize its Switch release.
