After some further investigation, it appears the image was initially posted by:

It's since been removed.

Who knows if it's real, or not?

It's also a slow news week, so far..

Either fake or they are just porting and upgrading the existing thing.

Both are sad.

..."speed" sounds like they're moving to more action based gameplay. well crap.

God, I hope not.

I really have no idea whats peoples see in pokemon games I tried many pokemon tiltles on gba,ds,3ds - everytime after playing fews hours i got bored as hell but i really tired to find that something in those games. Also i like jrpgs like FF etc. - not bad story, cool graphics and now tell what have pokemon series i think there is none of these 2 things. ?

 

[TwinsUltra64]

To be honest even if it is fake i like the graphic style.

 

[Dominator211]

This looks like SM or ORAS the Graphics look like a 3DS. i would be shocked if this all they could do with the switches power. i should expect something like Pokken to come on the switch.

They should get Creatures Inc. to do the engine and graphics, so it can look and run great.

[BREAKING NEWS] Pokemon title and logo are leaked (may be real, very high quality)

Bad.
Pokémon Japanese logo never say Pokémon, it always say pocket monsters and it's always the largest part of the logo.
Image feels too empty too.

Also, this thread is 7 pages long and no one mentioned it so far.
There's a signature in the tilted screenshot, someone's fursona is at the bottom right, under the screen, so it's very likely fake (don't get your hopes up for the real game though, it's still from game freak after all)

Perhaps it will be an enhanced version of what the 3DS has given if they don't have enough time to develop a new title.

 

[MikaDubbz]

My gut says fake, but I feel like it could be real. If it is, I'd say that the graphic style and camera perspective isn't quite living up to what I wanted, but it does look like it would be serviceable enough. Regardless I look forward to seeing more of it, and at the very least I like how the Pokemon are in the overworld now.

Pokémon Speed of Sound and Speed of Light are such fake sounding names.

 

[MikaDubbz]

Yeah those names have got to be fake. 0 and 1 seemed like cool names for the next Pokemon games, though they were obviously fake. In a similar sense I think Null and Infinite could make for really cool names too. But frankly I wouldn't be opposed to them breaking tradition and making it a one entry game simply titled 'Pokemon' with no subtitle, making it the first and only game to simply named Pokemon. And if done that way it could act as a platform, maybe it has 1 or 2 regions when it ships, but in time they can add more regions, pokemon, features, etc through DLC, which would really make the standalone name of Pokemon all the more fitting.

As interesting as that sounds there's probably no way GameFreak would consider it. Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon had like 5 extra Pokémon and a couple new Z moves but those were released as new games. There's a lot more money to be made with 2 versions and additional games. People will pay $40 (or possibly $60-$80 if prices are anything like other Switch games) but most people probably won't buy DLC that's priced the same as a game.

Well it stands to reason that Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon were new games. They clearly started as a third entry under the old way of things and just kinda evolved into something new in the form of two titles instead. What I'm talking about is a fresh clean slate and a new approach, and as such, can't be judged in regard to what just recently happened within the series.
