In the context of another post, @Harmful Heron suggested that future Pokemon games on Switch may have three options for pricing. I wanted to discuss this further, and get your opinions on this matter.
Do you all think they will increase the price to accommodate for the extra manpower needed to develop a console level Pokemon game? Do you think that they can survive a price increase, especially if they maintain dual versions?
If gen VIII is the first Switch games they have three options:
A) Release two different versions at $40 dollars
B) Do away with the Version concept and release one game at $60
C) Release two different versions at $60 dollars.
It should be noted that the Switch would allow you to have multiple saves. So say they go with option B they would have their work cut out for them making up for the previously mandatory trading but more importantly they would have only one last opportunity to use the version concept so I can understand them wanting to milk it by having two "third versions".
Granted I hope I'm getting more content.
