Nintendo Direct Speculation |OT|

The other weird thing about the Pokémon Day event is that the Treehouse doesn't generally do much localisation work on the Pokémon series- TPCI generally does it in-house.
There isn't any indication that the Treehouse is going to be showing any kind of game footage, or doing anything other than answering questions from the kids present.
No, the Treehouse Live E3 events aren't Q&As, and aren't referred to as such.

The real question is why in Japan there isn't an event like this
I'm pumped for a Pokemon Direct! I'm kind of expecting something for classic games there too. Either give us Pokemon games via Switch Online, or announce that Gameboy Mini that has old games built in. Something!
I think they would just release them separately on the eShop, they're not like other games and it would be easier to integrate them with Pokémon Bank later.
Have they ever done a Direct for a game that had already released? Please no more Smash lol
That would be really odd considering the fact the game might be already out or close to release then.
Mario Maker needs a full reveal before E3, even if the game was releasing late June they just won't show everything at E3, neither on Twitter. There's gotta be a Direct in there. As for Smash, they hyped up the update too much on the Direct for it just being shadow dropped. I wouldn't rule out a shorter general Direct in April to showcase third party games, Smash update, Mario Maker and tease one extra game that would be shown at E3.
A Pokémon Direct any time from now is a given, even if they just show the logos.

My thinking for making the classic Pokemon games into NSO titles would be to serve as a replacement for Pokemon Bank. I guess I'm just optimistic that Nintendo and GF will let NSO subscribers handle Pokemon storage as part of the sub we already pay for. It'd also be neat to get Red/Blue/Yellow and beyond back with the ability to trade online.
I don't think that Nintendo needs a general direct until E3 after the last one. They have very few games to release before summer. Unless there are things which we don't know about and for which a quick release is possible. Maybe a mini-direct in April?
I do not care for game focused directs, as those just spoil me from an upcoming game I already know about.
What I'm looking the most forward to is the next Nindies presentation, they have loads of things to show I'm sure.

E3 is mid June. By that time previews will be up and reviewers will have the game on their hands. It's too late to show it at the E3.
It's not going to be out before E3. It will be out after E3. You take the opportunity of E3 to do the full reveal. Lots of eyes and media are there and people can play it.
They could release the game June 28 which is two weeks after E3.
They're not going to wait until the month of release to do a full reveal.
I shouldn't have said full reveal. The game won't be out before E3 and it won't get its own direct.
Not in the spotlight. It would be too late. They won't go radio silent on the game until E3. Arms got a dedicated Direct and 3s of footage on the E3 Direct.
Historically June games are highlighted before E3, that's how marketing cycles work.
Now we're going to get a lot of game specific Directs and no general/Mini Direct before E3...yeah no.
I think this too. Mid March at the latest. Most if not all Pokemon Directs have been around this time
But as I said, by that time previews should be up since many weeks before, reviewers will be playing the game already and so on. It's too late for a full reveal. At E3 we will probably just get some remainder and a championship.
My point is I don't see it getting its own direct when it can be part of a general direct.
The last general Direct openly teased a new Smash Direct. (And, yeah, we had a few Smash directs for the Wii U/3DS after those games actually came out.)
Mario Maker can get a nice 5-8 minutes segment of a general direct in April or so.
I see Pokémon Direct is next. Labo reveal (which is just a YouTube video) and Smash Direct.

One time ok. I don't see Mario Maker getting its own direct.
it happens
Pokemon Direct/Japan Press Conference like the Let's Go reveal is 50/50 imo. I'm leaning towards a Press Conference on the 27th in Japan, with a transcript by Treehouse in the first Q&A day, and afterwards other details on the spin offs announced during the press conference. The 5 days of Q&A makes no sense for just Let's Go or Gen 8 or just for anyone game to be frank, and I am confident that they will announce a much meatier online package for Pokemon Bank that will be covered. The reason for this is that I do not see them charging for cloud storage alongside NSO premium unless its more than cloud storage.
I can't believe Mario Maker 2 stole all our Directs...
I fully expect to hear something about Gen 8 Pokémon before or around Pokémon Day.

The Pokémon Direct is worrying. If it's not what some people want to see there will be a lot of negativity. I keep my expectations low when it comes to Game Freak. I only want a 360 camera.
I wonder if we'll get a Pokemon Direct this week or next week.
I also wonder if it'll be the opposite of 2018 where this time around, we'll get a mini Direct in March/April.
