In any case, this isn’t the first time information about a potential Switch successor has surfaced thanks to the iconic pocket monsters; in November 2022, one Pokemon developer mentioned “next-generation hardware” in a job listing, revealing that it’s looking for a 3D character modeller who’d be involved in research and development for a yet-unannounced platform. That official posting coincides with the latest rumour that Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will receive a graphics update on the new system, as well as lending credence to the idea that the next Nintendo console will be another variant of the Switch, or at the very least offer backwards compatibility with its predecessor.
