Looks like Nintendo might be bringing a new version of Pokemon Sun and Moon to the Switch

Good morning ladies and gents! On this fine Monday morning let's kick things off with a little Nintendo Switch news, shall we? Looks like a totally new version of Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon will be launching on the Switch sometime next year – exciting, right?

According to Eurogamer's multiple (and usually reliable) sources, Nintendo aren't missing a trick. After all, what Nintendo game has created the most stir in 2016? Hint: Pokemon Sun and Moon. Okay, that wasn't really a hint, but you get me.

With the codename Pokemon Stars, it looks like this revamped version might be following the classic trend where a third title is released in a series, expanding on the features of the first two, e.g. Platinum following Diamond and Pearl.

For the first time in 20 years a 'home' console could be receiving a mainstream Pokemon adventure, and wouldn't that just be swell?

There're no dates and no definite details so take this newsbit with a pinch of salt. Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon however will be out this Wednesday for those who live in Europe, so let's get excited.
