There are some things that were pretty clear from the trailer &#8211; such as <a class=\"external\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/mobile\/pokemon_go\"><strong>Pok\u00e9mon GO<\/strong><\/a>&#8216;s catching mechanic being implemented and that the game will take place in the region of Kanto &#8211; but some other areas of the games were a little less certain.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, The Pok\u00e9mon Company has shared a Q and A online that took place after the reveal press conference in Tokyo. In this Q and A,\u00a0press got the chance to ask Pok\u00e9mon president Tsunekazu Ishihara, and GAME FREAK directors Junichi Masuda and Shigeru Ohmori, for some finer details.<\/p>\n<p>During this talk, the creators confirmed that the original 151 Pok\u00e9mon will be appearing, as well as some Alolan forms of those creatures, and a brand new, never-before-seen Pok\u00e9mon will be making its debut. They also confirmed that traditional battles with wild Pok\u00e9mon have been completely scrapped for these titles in favour of the Pok\u00e9mon GO system, but trainer battles remain.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Q: With Pok\u00e9mon appearing on the field and the catching gameplay being more similar to Pok\u00e9mon GO, does that mean there are not any wild Pok\u00e9mon battles?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Mr. Masuda: With these games, we&#8217;re really focused on clicking the Joy-Con to throw the Pok\u00e9 Balls to catch Pok\u00e9mon. We decided to get rid of the wild Pok\u00e9mon battles to catch them, but we still have Trainer battles with a variety of difficulty where you use your Pok\u00e9mon in battle.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>They also confirmed that\u00a0wireless trading and battle features\u00a0will be present &#8211; although you&#8217;ll need two Switch consoles to do this, of course &#8211; and briefly mentioned the fact that multiple users will be able to have their own save files with one copy of the game. This is a first for the series.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Q: Now that these games are on Nintendo Switch, it&#8217;s possible for multiple accounts to use the same device. Can multiple people play the same game? Or will it be similar to the handheld games where you can have only one player per game?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Mr. Ohmori: You can have multiple accounts on the Nintendo Switch, so each account can have its own save file. For example, if you have siblings they can play on their own accounts.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>One final answer of note talked about the Nintendo\u00a0Switch Online service in conjunction with these titles, and despite numerous sources stating otherwise, Mr. Ishihara stated that they &#8220;don&#8217;t have any plans to use this online service right now&#8221;. The future of online functionalities within Pok\u00e9mon titles has been a cause of concern for fans of the series since the online subscription was first revealed, but it seems we might not find out how it&#8217;ll all work until the next core game arrives in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>So, what do you think of all this latest information?
