There is a problem I have with Plus & Minus, and that is its age. The leak dates back to January of 2014. This means that the Switch game started development in 2013, and that is impossible because they had just made it onto the 3DS and many of the Switch's exclusive titles (most notably Odyssey) weren't even in development at that point.
I've pointed this out before, but they had started work on Odyssey and were using the Wii U. The reason the switch has motion controls is because the odyssey team felt like it needed it and Nintendo obliged. I would not be surprised if Nintendo worked with Game Freak for switch development, especially as the rumor notes a massive back and forth between the companies. Pokemon lapped everything on the 3DS. It wouldn't be odd to decide to focus on getting input and ensuring this was a true portable device. And Masuda hasn't directed a game since 2013. That's very suspicious.
