Just this June 6, a Pokémon direct announced 5 new games for the Nintendo consoles. Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver, which fans have been asking for will finally be released for the Nintendo 3DS virtual console.  Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver were released in Japan on November 21, 1999, as the second set of titles in the Pokémon series.

 

The most awaited sequel to the recently released Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon, which people were hoping and rumored to be called Pokemon Stars, has also been announced. But instead of one game, we will be getting two, just like in the sequels of Pokemon Black and Pokemon White. The new sequels will be called Pokémon Sun Ultra and Pokémon Moon Ultra which will arrive worldwide on November 4, 2017. Nothing much has been revealed about the game but Nintendo has released new forms of the legendary Pokémon in the games, Solgaleo and Lunalia which seem to look like they've combined with another legendary, Cosmog.

Lastly, Pokémon is set to make its way to the newest Nintendo console, the Nintendo switch via the highly popular Pokkén Tournament DX. That's right, the Switch has given us another reason to get the console. But not only that, the Switch version has new added features:
