   I’m stil a bit disapointed at the quick cash grab, but the only thing that really bothers me is they give you these neat items and then soon after a new game comes out and you cand send the items over to the new game. thats what bothers me the most hehe   

It’s really not a quick cash grab to put out full games more than a year after the original entries in the generation of Pokemon.  That happens.  Yellow came out a year after Red/Blue in America.  Crystal came out a year after Gold/Silver.  Emerald came out a year after Fire Red/Leaf Green, which came out a year after Ruby/Sapphire, etc.

You can always transfer non-key items and Pokemon between games within the same generation with little to no limitation, and the only major limitations that really exist with transferring Pokemon between generations is that you can only transfer upwards, and generally can’t transfer items across generations now, but even that’s not much of an issue.

I have no doubt that Usu/UMo will be great, but we’ll have to wait for more info to see just how good it’ll be.  This is an opportunity to take Alola, which was an amazing region, and fix the issues people had with it, and it doesn’t rule out Stars or Eclipse on the Switch, it just states that that’s not coming this year.
