After the Direct is over, I'm fine with either a new speculation thread or this one being re-opened (just PM me, Kevin360 ). Enjoy the ride!

Post-February 2019 Direct
This thread is now re-opened since the other Direct threads are losing steam and people are already beginning to discuss what might come next
Feel free to speculate here about when Koizumi is gonna snap his fingers again

I'm going with a Pokémon direct this month, ahead of the Pokémon day festivities. Hope I'll be right!
It would make a lot of sense to bring that in May when the film launches
I could see a Pokemon direct happening together with a Labo announcement in March. Animal Crossing will be E3 though. Now they might do a April direct with some in depth info on summer titles like Mario Maker, Deamon X and Astral chains and focus on september/holiday titles at E3 together with some 2020 announcements.
it's pretty common for a game-specific Direct to happen not too long after a general Direct
So a Pokemon and a Smash event seems like a given before E3, given that gen 8 and the Spring 3.0 update need to be discussed. I'm also guessing that if we're getting Persona Switch, it will be announced in the Atlus event in March instead of in a direct. Might actually see Joker too.
January 2013 had both a general direct and a Pokémon direct, coincidentally that's where gen 6 was revealed too
X and Y were revealed during a special direct in January of 2013. Sun and Moon were revealed during a special direct in February of 2016.
It's getting to be that time for Gen 8.
okay, i really hope so. i would love to see what the direction this "next generation" pokemon game will take.
wait, what in here exactly suggests an upcoming pokemon direct?
The 'Q&A' with Nintendo Treehouse stuff. It just seems odd that they'd schedule those if they didn't have anything new to talk about.
They will definitely reveal it before May 10th so they can show the trailer at theaters with Detective Pikachu.
Tree house normally isn't present at these events. Their presence could mean they have a game (read: the new Pokémon game) to talk about.
I don't know if we will have another general direct before E3, but we can have multiple specific Directs (e.g. Pokemon between February and April, Mario Maker 2 before June, very highly Fire Emblem Three Houses since some gameplay aspects aren't still clear).
In a similar way I think the new Labo Kit will be announced with just a trailer and maybe also the Pikmin 3 port, assuming it will be released in May.

the last two new gen Pokemon games were announced in January and February
okay, yea sounds like solid reasoning. i am excited to see it.
x & Y were first revealed in January 2013, Sun & Moon in February 2016.
I'm so ready for a Pokémon Direct. So ready. Bring it on; we know it's not gonna be released until late 2019 anyway so give us something to discuss about in the meantime hahaha! I feel excited about it. I didn't expect the Let's Go games so it's like having these "Pokémon debuting on a new system" vibrations again.
Ehehe
Ehehe
I don't think the Pokémon Day stuff means anything personally- it's a heavily kid-centric event (facepainting, meeting the mascots, etc.) , and I don't think we've heard anything about it being streamed out.
There's always a possibility that they start the reveals around Pokémon Day, of course, but I'm expecting a reveal in April for that Detective Pikachu synergy. If we do get a reveal over the next week or two, I'd predict a Sun/Moon-style reveal, with meaningful details held back for a few months.
I would be surprised if any early reveal this time round looked more like the latter than the former.

They were very different reveals, though- XY got gameplay footage, starter and legendary reveals and a release month, whereas Sun and Moon got logos, some glimpses of concept art and a wireframe model of Pikipek.

Q&A with Nintendo Treehouse on the 27th, 5 PM.
This means the Pokemon Direct needs to happen either on the 27th (earlier than 5 PM PST) or some day before that.
The 27th is a Wednesday, what day were Pokemon Directs usually on?
