If you want me to, I can ping you on Discord around 1 hour before the Pokemon Direct to remind you about the upcoming Pokemon Direct.

Who else planning this to be their last Pokemon Direct?
Tired of the showing 90% of the games before they come out
Wanna see some new changes, the cover leganderies and a few surprises, and then media blackout

Yeah I really hated the way they the sun and moon prerelease revealed sooo much. I dunno if I'll go complete blackout but I'll definitely stay away if I can.

Indeed, reveal all the Pokemon, show us the region map artwork, delve a little into the new gimmicks, and then leave everything else as a surprise until release.

Uh... what else would there even be to reveal? Is this a difference in competitive players vs casual players? Cause I cannot understand this mindset. A lot of the fun of a new Pokmon game for me is running into the new mons for the first time. It's exciting.

Okay let's look at Sun/Moon for example.

Show off the concepts of Trials and Totems, but at most only show one of the totems and trial captains so we have a basic understanding. Hint at the idea of Grand Trials but don't expand on it. Don't show us almost all there is to know about most of the trials.

Show off the concept of Z-Moves by having the starters use the generic Grass/Fire/Water ones. Don't show us any more.

Show us a bit about the Festival Plaza so competitive players know something about how online battling will work. Don't show us the Join Avenue-like features of it.

Don't show off Team Skull or Aether Foundation.

Don't show us footage of most of the in-game locations.

Don't show us Red and Blue, lol.

Actually despite what I said above, I guess I would say don't show us Type: Null or the Ultra Beasts. S/M were different from past games in that they gave more Pokemon plot relevance. So maybe I'll amend my statement and say just show us all the regular Pokemon that we can actually obtain on our journey and hold off on the ones we can't even use until the post-game.

So in that case we'd know most of the Pokemon and ideas of what's new, but most of the game itself is still a mystery. That would be my ideal pre-release period.

New Eevee hype.


I'm hyped for this as well.

I think it will have to be revealed pretty early in the Sword/Shield promotional cycle. The Pokemon Company knows how popular Eevee and its evolutions are, so an early reveal provides more time to hype it up and also begin mass producing merchandise for it before the games are even out. If there's no Eeveelution reveal in the next Pokemon Direct or before the end of June, the odds of a reveal go way down after that.

That's because they're making one tweet per day for the original 151 Pokemon. This has been an ongoing thing for several months now and they're currently doing the Gen 1 Eevees right now.

I usually like to plan my teams ahead of time, but with a new game I also just kinda like catching everything and seeing what I like and don't, what sticks and what doesn't.

Pretty excited for this, I hope we at least get the cover legendaries.

I'm in the "show me everything" camp, surprises don't really get me any more hyped and I like to plan my squad ahead of time.

Can't wait for people to bitch and moan regardless of what's shown.
