Pokémon will always be the perfect Game Boy game

Pokémon dev Game Freak is making a new RPG, Town, for Switch

as declared in Nintendo announced that Pokémon studio Game Freak is working on a new role-playing game, Town. Town has a colorful, cartoon-like aesthetic that you'd expect from the Pokémon developer.
