[Rumor] Pokémon for Nintendo Switch is currently being translated

Just two weeks ago, Pokémon for Switch was still listed another time by Nintendo. The company listed it as “Untitled Pokémon RPG“, officially set for “2018 or later“.

There wasn’t much more information about it, but Twitter user Pixelpar (who previously anticipated The Raven for Nintendo Switch) wrote this info:

Looks like the initial European translations for Pokemon Switch are planned to be completed between April – June. They will the undergo localisation editing. Editors are being hired on a minimum 6 Month contract.

It seems that the info found by Pixelpar comes from this hiring site where we can read the info:
