[P-MAC]

shut the front door

 

[Mandos]

Meh, not a Pokémon fan.... unless it's one of the crazy spinoffs

 

[KernelC]

Gen IV Remakes.
And Pokemon Home launch?

 

[TheInfinityGauntlet]

are they finally gonna release the other raids

 

[Duffking]

Not the Direct we expected. Wonder what they're doing that warrants a lone direct. Big S/S update?

 

[Tregard]

Ah jeez

 

[Lukar]

Probably a release date for Home.

 

[DanteLinkX]

Wasn't expecting it to be a exclusive Pokémon Direct.

 

[Common Knowledge]

"We're adding back all the Pokémon"

 

[NotLiquid]

TOXTRICITY IN SMASH WOOOOOOOOO

 

[Sandfox]

I'm guessing Home and spinoffs.

 

[DrHercouet]

Calling it :

- Pokémon Home
- Pokémon Sleep
- Pokémon Rave
- Pokémon Repeat

 

[unicornKnight]

No like this.

- Pokémon Home

Good call.

 

[Scarlet Spider]

Ultra Sword/Shield
Pokken 2
Diamond/Pearl Remake
PMD
Home release date
Colosseum/XD Spinoff sequel

Gimme spinoffs.

 

[Naga]

Pokken 2 here we go.
But seriously, couldn't we get a regular direct?

 

[Diddy Kong]

why tho

 

[V has come to]

this is not the direct i was looking for

 

[Plum]

The first direct of the 2020s is a Pokemon Direct that won't even be revealing a new generation...

 

[Deleted member 11008]

I would love some Poke spin off for the Switch. I am salty to have miss that Nobunaga game.

 

[Raijinto]

Truly exciting and will surely be received really well by the people on the Worldwide Web.

 

[Proteus]

That's disappointing.

 

[Aleh]

Oh man
SWSH DLC and Home please

 

[Puffy]

Free DLC

Lets
*clap clap*
Go

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Hard to be excited about Pokemon after S&S.

That said I'd love if they added some of the older ones to Switch but I doubt it's on their radar right now. Took forever for them to add em to 3DS. I'd check out Emerald and see what I missed back in GBA days.

 

[Deleted member 426]

So...March direct?

 

[Carassius Auratus]

And the crowd goes mild.

 

[cw_sasuke]

That's a surprise.
Bring Ranger back

 

[Dr. Mario]

No one:
Nintendo: Here's a January Direct about Pokemon Home and Pokemon Sleep

 

[Odeko]

I'm so mad

 

[Bowser]

SwSh DLC here we go!

 

[Tregard]

The only things I want from this are Pokémon Snap HD and Detective Pikachu 2

 

[KoolAid]

Pokemon Home and some more spinoffs, maybe? It's 20 minutes so it has to be juicy.

 

[Darrilium]

We won, but at what cost?

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

That's surprising

 

[Finale Fireworker]

Can't say this is what I expected. Or wanted.

Curious to see if this is a Sword & Shield patch and what problems they'll try to address. It feels too soon to announce a new game, but I assume we will finally hear about Home. I wouldn't be surprised if it's all Home stuff. Edit: Wow, 20 minutes? I guess I don't know what to expect then.

 

[Dr Pears]

Pokemon Sharp Sword and Sturdy Shield

 

[Aleh]

This kinda confirms to me that we won't get DPP remakes this year. They would never reveal a remake so early in the year.

 

[Deleted member 543]

Sweet. All of Nintendo's other franchises have been in the spotlight so much lately. Good to see them giving some attention to one of their lesser-seen franchises :)

 

[LOLDSFAN]

So I guess that means a general Direct is still a ways off...

 

[Common Knowledge]

Next week we need a Smash only Direct. Let's go for maximum pissing-off.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Same day the promoted raids for G-Max mons end

I find that interesting. Maybe they will do raids for the foreign mons following the direct.

 

[Sandfox]

People got themselves hyped up for a general direct based on little to no evidence.

 

[--R]

Home, Sleep, Detective Pikachu 2, Diamond / Pearl remakes. Please.

 

[Plum]

Truly exciting and will surely be received really well by the people on the Worldwide Web.

Are people supposed to be excited for this or something?

You can be as excited as you want but that doesn't mean other people who wanted something more than this are in the wrong.

 

[daripad]

A mainline Pokémon game just came out, let us breath PLEAASSEEE. Unless it is free updates, I won't be super excited.

 

[cyba89]

 

[Bedameister]

Woah, this is unexpected. How big can we expect? SwSh DLC? Gen IV remaster? What kind of information have they given out before at such an early date in the year?

 

[BGBW]

First they cut my Pokémon and now they've cut my Directs! You can't keep getting away with this Game Freaks!!!111

 

[Dark Cloud]

Pokémon Diamond/Pearl
Pokémon Sleep
Pokken 2
Detective Pikachu 2
