Another Possible Pokemon Stars Hint Emerges...Or Does It?

The Pokemon fanbase has gotten hyped over the last few weeks about a possible new game announcement. Last fall, several sites (led by Eurogamer) reported on an alleged sequel to Pokemon Sun and Moon called "Pokemon Stars" that would feature new Pokemon and would be released for the Nintendo Switch.A few weeks ago, the Pokemon Company released a celestial themed line of merchandise with the slogan "Look upon the Stars" which some thought was a clue that a Pokemon Stars announcement was imminent. Then, a gaming forum discovered a blank spot had appeared on Nintendo's archive of past Nintendo Directs, something that only happens when a Nintendo Direct is about to drop. Couple that with the fact that Pokemon has traditionally made an announcement about its next game during the second week of May, and now the hype
Now, Internet detectives have jumped on a new piece of evidence that Nintendo is about to announce a Pokemon Stars game. A poster on NeoGAF noted that the URL "Pokemon.com/Hoshi" redirects to Pokemon's homepage instead of leading to a 404 load screen. "Hoshi" is the Japanese word for "star" and it's significant as it means that someone deliberately set up that redirect. Shortly before the announcement of Pokemon Sun and Moon, a URL for "Pokemon.com/neji" (neji being the Japanese word for moon) also began redirecting to Pokemon's homepage.
Before people get too hyped, it was quickly pointed out that ANY Pokemon.com URL that ends with the letter "i" seems to redirect to Pokemon's webpage. For example, Pokemon.com/pokemonstarsisfakenewsi redirects to Pokemon's webpage, as does Pokemon.com/Sinnohremakesconfirmedi. It's likely that this was just a way to conceal whatever Pokemon's true plans are for their next game, as opposed to an actual hint that Pokemon Stars is coming soon.


 Still, Pokemon wouldn't have gone to such lengths if it wasn't trying to hide SOMETHING. Could we be getting a Pokemon Stars announcement this week? Stay tuned to Pokemon Daily to find out.

Nintendo's Failure To Give The Switch A Proper Pokémon Game Is Inexcusable

Nintendo/Paul Tassi The Dream Yesterday was a strange day for Nintendo fans who tuned into a new Pokémon Direct hoping for some relatively simple news: Pokémon is coming to the Nintendo Switch. Of course, technically, that did happen, but only in the form of Pokken Tournament getting ported over from the Wii U to the Switch in a new “Deluxe” package . But the fully-fledged Pokémon games featured in the show, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon and Gold and Silver for Virtual Console, were relegated to the 3DS. After the show, there was a brief flare-up of hope that due to a rogue listing, it appeared that Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon may get a Switch release after all, but The Pokémon Company quickly shut that rumor down , saying the listing was a mistake. Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are 3DS only, and there are no plans to bring them to the Switch. The two magic words everyone was looking for yesterday were “Pokémon Stars,” the long rumored, even offic...
