i mean. it's probably 3 pokeballs in reference to the three starters the player picks from at the beginning of a new game.

That's probably all it is. Open the direct by showing the new starters maybe

Seven minutes long, just like the previous two gen reveal directs. So, I'm expecting like four seconds of game footage, and some concept art. Probably the new starters since those have been getting revealed sooner and sooner. And the logos, of course.

Man, that reminds me, in a forum I used to go to, some people were adamant about SM being a continuation of Gen 6, more of a Gen 6.5 since a new region wasn't confirmed yet and poo poo lmao

e: wait, the XY direct reveal was different. It was 11 minutes long, about 7 and a half mins to the history of pokemon releases. Then we got a solid minute of footage including legendaries and starters and a bunch of areas. Followed by more Iwata.

To be fair we never got a third game or second pair for X/Y, and we didnt have a system switch, so it probably seemed weird to have a Generation switch "so soon"? Granted, we had ORAS and I don't think remakes come before third games.

When Let's Go was announced, they stated the next game would be a new generation mainline game on the Switch. It might seem soon but they did talk about it last year!

Personally I think that was an attempt to make people stop panicking about/hating on LGPE for not being a mainline game, but we'll see I guess.

Yes, but those weren't Pokémon related directs.

Seriously though, seven minutes is plenty of time to give something substantial, like a name of the title, starters and possibly what the box legendary looks like.

They were also celebrating the 20 year milestone of the franchise.

Since they already revealed that there was going to be a mainline game for the Switch during the announcement of the Let's Go games, and there's no major milestone, all there to reveal is what Gen 8 is all about.

I kinda think the new Gen 8 will take place in the same region as the new movie. It'd be silly to have it anywhere else I think. Well, not silly maybe, but a missed opportunity to take advantage of all the new fans this movie could bring to the franchise.

That makes a lot of sense actually. I haven't thought about it before but do we know if the movies is set it a known region or not? That city certainly doesn't look familiar.

I think we know "Ryme City" isn't in any current regions, or hasn't been mentioned previously. So my thought is that it's a new region and Ryme City is the new Veridian/Lumiose/WTF ever other main city was in the games. Then fans of the movie can go "cool I want to visit there!" and play the hot new Gen 8 game, and older fans of the franchise can also go "I wish we had a region like that!" and so on.

Okay, I now 100% think that's whats up. That would be way, way too good a marketing move not to go for it.

So a coworker had a 3DS collecting dust which he lent to me so I have begun the process of consolidating all my poo poo into one cart before I start poke transporting to the bank. Except it looks like I need X/Y or Sun/Moon in order to open poke bank far enough to download the transporter portion or use the bank in any real capacity so I guess I’m buying whatever is the latest main game and getting caught up with the series.

Yeah you have to local transfer to Generation 5 (Black/White) Then it's one box at a time, constantly swapping between Poke Transporter and Pokemon Bank to clear the transfer box.

From that point you do have a choice of X/Y, Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire, and (Ultra) Sun/Moon to transfer the older ones. Ultra Sun/Moon is the absolute latest and has 5 new Pokemon in the coding that are unobtainable in regular Sun/Moon :Poipole, Naganadel (Poipole's evolution. Also it can't breed and you only get one,) Stakata, Blacephalon, and Zeraora(Mythical.)


The demos won't work. Though there are some exclusives to transfer over to the retail game.
