No way that they will already show some kind of new remakes. This would be way too early.

Oh, no..and it is not even April 1st. Seems like a cruel reality.

I will still hope it is just a placeholder to hide the real Direct.

Of course the Pokémon Company comes in to be the buzzkill. Killing hype is sort of their mission statement as a company.

Well the alternative is them talking about Pokémon Home and Pokémon Sleep again, and I'm not sure I'd survive that boredom.

Huh hope it's not remakes but rather DLC for Sw/Sh :|

More online stuff and new Wild Areas! Turning the game into a GaaS, that would be greeeat!

Anyway, would rather have a general Direct lol

I mean, there were times where multiple directs took place in the same month. It's next week or else, only next month. That's it.

My hopes aren't fully dead. Just 99%.

so

general Direct next week? Last two Pokémon Directs either preceded or followed a general one (though the last one was two weeks removed)

Twist: team January wins, but Emily, Tsubasa, Nate and all the others knew it was a Pokémon Direct.

Still, I believe we're bound to get an actual proper Direct at some point this month. Probably next week.

Lol, this is unexpected. What would they even show? It's so early. Probably just Home maybe Detective Pikachu 2 or a port of 1 or DLC for SwSh. Don't expect much.
Still Team January for a General direct.

I don't think that this means anything other than that there will be a Pokemon direct. The main direct will still be in January. I can't imagine them leaving that for February with how the e-shop is like pretty barren right now and nothing to look forward too.

Pokemon is a yearly franchise

I'd be shocked if a Pokemon Direct featured no upcoming mainline games

But they would never announce these remakes so early. Pokemon LG was announced at the end of may for example. Even Sword and Shield have been announced later (mid February). It would be very weird to show these games so early (beside of the fact, that maybe we will not get them anyway in 2020).

I assume it is Detektiv Pikachu 2, maybe Pokken 2 and furthermore some DLC Stuff for Sword/Shield + Pokemon Home.
