Nintendo has confirmed that the upcoming Pokémon RPG game for the Nintendo Switch is expected to release sometime in 2018 or later. The game was announced during Nintendo's E3 2018 livestream.

The Pokémon RPG game is currently being developed by Game Freak. The Japanese studio is known for its involvement in the development of several popular Pokémon titles for the Nintendo Gameboy handheld console, including Pokémon Red and Blue and Pokémon Gold and Silver.

The new game is rumored to feature the same gameplay formula as the one used in the original Gameboy titles, though that has yet to be confirmed.
