Fans have had to wait quite some time for the next major Pokemon franchise release on Nintendo Switch.

While Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu is bound to prove popular with fans, it’s still a watered-down version of the usual Pocket Monster format.

It will certainly help to build hype for the next Pokemon Switch release, which has been scheduled for 2019.

This will be the next major franchise instalment, which looks set to shape the future of the Pokemon series.

And there’s been some very big news shared about the 2019 Pokemon game that is sure to excite Nintendo fans.

According to Pokemon director Junichi Masuda, Game Freak is working on a new system to share Pokemon.

And it appears this upgraded Pokemon Bank could go as far as allow players to transfer their old collection to the next game.
