EDIT: Nope, I didn't. All fixed now.

Good stuff. Hopefully, like Mario Maker 2, having this before E3 means they can focus on other stuff during that Direct.

This is also worth noting...

That's 2am on Wednesday (BST).

That Press Conference will, and I quote, "cover multiple topics of interest to Pokémon fans"
This will probably be where any possible spin-offs are talked about.

Could it be Mystery Dungeon time?

I sure hope so, I'd say the fanbase is hungry for it! :D

Well, OK. It's more "My Dreams", but you get the point.

I refuse to get my hopes up too much though, it could very well be a whole bunch of mobile games.
I'm being honest in saying that I'm more intrigued about the press conference than the Sword/Shield Direct. Still watching both.

They'll announce new names for Pokémon sword & Pokémon shield: Pokémon shorts & Pokémon skirts. Featuring Team Shorts fascists.

Why couldn't this be posted in the Pokémon sword & shield thread?

New Directs tend to get new threads here. Otherwise, only people who check the above mentioned thread would actually know about this Direct.

Up on the front page, will be covered on the day with the usual press release info shortly after the Direct. :peace:

Let's hope that we get some interesting new information from this latest presentation.

Yeah, trust me, that's low on the priority list for the fanbase.

I'm just gonna chime in and say that Pokémon always has little presence in E3. It's normally shown in the Treehouse section.

This Direct changes very little.

I imagine both games will still be shown during the Treehouse segments but hopefully they won't be shown during the actual presentation. 

I just hope they give the Pokemon game a better showing than they did Sun and Moon ( I think it was those two). Those Treehouse segments were brutal to watch. It was like watching paint dry.

This is the first console main series Pokemon game. For all we’d known they could have gone big on it this year. 

Also, my abiding recent memory of Pokemon was when they’d revealed the proper Breath of the Wild trailer for the first time at the very end of an E3 Direct... got the entire world hyped and waiting to see and hear more.... then cut to Treehouse that showed ussss.... a 45 minute deep dive into the battle mechanics of Sun and Moon. :blank:

Totally tone deaf.

Ah, so it was Sun and Moon. Yeah, horrible showing. :shakehead

By all means show us the watching paint-drying segment on the battle mechanics, for those that are interested in that kind of thing, just not DIRECTLY AFTER the epic BOTW trailer. Never seen hype and pace come crashing down to zero so quickly.

The fanbase deserves a Thanos Snap.  The rest of us deserve Pokémon Snap.

I feel like it's being insinuated that I'm boring.

I would never call anyone interested in something that I'm not 'boring', we all like different things. It was said in jest anyway. I just think there's a time and place for that kind of thing and coming off a hype Zelda trailer wasn't it.

Why are these Pokemon Directs always right as I finish work? I would love to be able to sit down in a comfy seat to watch these on my TV rather than in the locker room on my phone.

I'm only having a laugh myself.
