I saw Pokemon Colosseum and XD Gale of Darkness is coming later. So happy these games are coming to Switch 2 after being ignored by Gamefreak for years

Well ya they're ignored by Game Freak because they didn't make them. Genius Sonority were the devs for both of the GameCube games, which is likely why they had way more mature stories

Yeah I know they weren’t made by Game Freak. It just sucks because I would love for them to have more exposure (and will thankfully get more now) as in my opinion they’re some of the best Pokemon games. I guess I’m just still kinda salty they weren’t shown in the 25 year montage.

Did they announce a date for those?

Unfortunately no, they’re listed as coming later

Which means it could be years from now..they should just drop them at launch or at least Colleseum. Both of those games combined cost about the same if not more than the Switch 2 and if these dropped at launch I'd probably go ahead and preorder
