Same, but even more so I can't wait to see the in-game reminder that they didn't forget about those features, but that they just didn't want to bother implementing them.

SOS isn't a big deal when you can catch most Pokemon at full health anyway. Keeping the mechanic as a chaining method but making it only happen if you use an Adrenaline Orb would be fine.

You're either thinking of BW2's habitat list or ORAS' DexNav. Probably the latter.

MAXIMUM OVERHYPE

For the amount of time we had to wait for new information after the announcement trailer, about 15 minutes for a Pokemon Direct more than makes up for this long wait. Most of the Pokemon game trailers for this game are going to be in the 2 to 4 minute range (as was the case for Sun/Moon's trailers).

It seems like the press conference will be getting streamed live on Twitch:

I wonder if the length means we're going to be waiting longer again until the next info drop. Aside from E3/Treehouse that is. Like they're maybe going to do big reveals every couple months instead of small trailers every two weeks or so.

I expect it to be mostly mobile/F2P stuff, because that seems to be the bulk of what the Pokemon Company cares to put out for spin-offs these days, but I'm hoping for the slim chance of a new Mystery Dungeon or some other interesting Switch game.

I wouldn't mind this at all if this were the case. There's a problem with this, being that CoroCoro will still reveal new information on the games, and this is usually followed by an update from The Pokemon Company (in English and other languages) around the time of CoroCoro's official release date. If they're going to go with the route of several larger Directs, this will require CoroCoro's reveal schedule to be restructured in a way that only reveals new information around the time of a Direct. This means there might be certain issues of CoroCoro without any new info.

Don't expect much Sword/Shield related stuff here. If we're lucky, we might get the release date, but that's one of the few pieces of info we might get for Sword/Shield.

Oh no I don't
This is supposed to be for something else obviously, the question is - what would be interesting enough?
The new mobile game they are working on? just started, so it's not for that (unless they show a concept video like they did with Pokemon GO)
A new spinoff game? man if it's PMD I don't care, and Ranger won't work well on the Switch

I don't think the press conference is going to be much of anything at all

It wouldn't surprise me if it was just to announce Pokemon Rumble Rush's global release since it had a quiet launch on Android and hasn't launched on iOS yet.

The thing about the press conference is that the previous two were barely made known to the public ahead of time. The one for Pokemon Go was announced like 4 hours before with no fanfare and was only streamed on a single Japanese site. The one last year was only mentioned like 30 minutes before and wasn't streamed at all. The fact they're announcing this one a day in advance and are streaming it on English sites like Twitch and Youtube should hopefully mean something.

I think it means Nintendo took the feedback from last E3 where Smash took up half their show to heart.

They aren't bringing SOS battles back. They're going to say something like "That was an Alola thing" and we'll never see it again until Sun and Moon remakes.

Mean what, though? we already have SwSh news coming next week
We are not getting DP remakes alongside them
What can be important enough?

Worst case scenario it's Let's GO 2

Pokemon was unlikely to be the main focus of E3 anyway because that's just not how the Pokemon Company operates (as evidenced by... this), but also Sword/Shield probably aren't even going to be mentioned in tonight's thing aside from maybe reminding people about the direct next week. But even with the 15 minute direct, I would still expect a quick trailer in the E3 presentation and then one or two Treehouse Live segments for it.

If there's anything from Alola that's not going to return in this game, it's Poke Pelago. That was very clearly designed around Alola.

Pokemon-Amie was one feature that returned in Alola, though it was renamed to "Pokemon Refresh". They had to bring back Pokemon-Amie since it was tied to Eevee's evolution to Sylveon, unless they wanted to create a new evolution method to get Sylveon.

Pokemon has never been in the position where it's the $60 holiday game Nintendo is pushing. The last time Pokemon was set-up to be the focus, Nintendo had Breath of the Wild to showcase. I think Nintendo breaking Super Mario Maker 2 and Pokemon away from E3 suggests that Nintendo doesn't want those two titles to dwarf their E3 showcase like Smash did last year.

Yeah, Pokemon sort of exists in their own separate world from the rest of Nintendo with the mainline games being mostly promoted by The Pokemon Company with Nintendo having only a minor role in their promotion.

If it's not going to be Pokemon or Super Mario Maker 2, then I'm not sure what will be the heavily pushed game at E3 this year. Fire Emblem doesn't feel like a game that would be pushed heavily, and I'm not sure if Animal Crossing will be either.

Animal Crossing is this year. Animal Crossing is one of Nintendo's biggest properties. But my point was I don't think there will be a focus this year and it'll be more of a buffet for everything coming until the end of the year, with a tease or two into the future.
