Why Pokemon Gen 5 Remakes Have to Release Before the Switch 2

As the release of The Indigo Disk DLC for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet approaches, many players are starting to speculate on what will be next for the series. The common theory at the moment based on leaks and rumors is that the next mainline Pokemon games will return to the Unova Region in some form, either via a Pokemon Legends Unova game or Pokemon Black and White remakes. However, as the Switch winds down its life as a console and Nintendo’s next system becomes the new target for developers, these Gen 5 Pokemon remakes must be released before the new console does, for one major reason.
