Pokémon Stars for Nintendo Switch listed on Amazon UK

[Pokemon Trainer]

Like everyone knows, Tsunekazu Ishihara announced a new main game for Switch. The game is in development and we don't know when it will be released.
In 2016 a rumour about a Switch game, with the codename Stars, was discovered and some days ago Amazon UK created a page for the game.

Maybe it's an error or simply a placeholder... what do you guys think?

I think it's just a placeholder until the game get a definitive name and all stuff.

I agree but it's interesting that they used the name "Stars" instead of something like "Pokémon for Nintendo Switch"

I definitely think it's a placeholder.

Were there any other instances of the name "stars" being used by official companies other than Amazon?

No... only Eurogamer found the codename... fan sites continued to used that name but Amazon is the first one to use the name "Stars"
