The Let's Go reveal was the weirdest shit now that I remember it. We knew it was about to happen thanks to king zell but no announcement was coming and then they just tweeted "oh by the way a conference is happening in Japan in 30 minutes, watch twitter for some news".

Yeah, but this one won't be like that, they need all eyes on this one.

Yeah that was weird. Suddenly there was an event with press and a stage and no one knew (or said)

Unusual betting time:
How many views do you think the first real trailer will get?
For reference, Let's Go's trailer is sitting at an impressive 16m views, BOTW's two trailers at 14m and 16m, and Odyssey's at insane 30m and 35m, just for the NA versions.

What are the reveals normally like, just title names? Do we get to artwork or anything of the sort?

Have been out of the Pokemob Loop during Sun & Moon.

Sun and Moon showed a wireframe for Pikipek, some concept art, and the logos. XY had full gameplay footage, starters and legendaries

Is Dark type still the only type not to have its own Pokémon Gym?

If Gen 8 doesn't have a dark type gym I swear lol

I'm not confident to say that The Pokémon Company follows a pattern with these reveals. They have a history of showing a lot at first (X and Y) and showing very little at first (Sun and Moon).

Undoubtedly above 20m. I'd honestly wager it'll be just about 30m.

Hoping it's more like the former than the latter.

Bonus: Pokemon Let's Go


Footage on the first trailer is to be expected I think.

Thank you all.

Yes, hoping it's closer to X&Y or even Let' Go.

Expectations will be huge for this game, can't wait to see what they have stored.

Yeah we generally get a single new Pokémon reveal and logos generally close to each other then a blowout around May. Seems weird that we haven't seen our first gen 8 Pokemon yet given that tends to happen in feb

It's the kind of fanfare that game deserved

I see we're approaching that time again. There's nothing quite like a new Pokémon generation.

You guys are fucking crazy, 6 new pages in a short amount of time over nothing at all. Except for King Zell and Sabi, but still so much fluffy nothing burgers before then. Even I'm not that hyped.

Hey guys, LTLSTP (long time lurker short time poster). This is the only place I really come for Pokémon discussion anymore because it's so good-natured. Like an Adamant Azumarill.

Aha welcome to the mad house
I think it was Pokemon leak hype that introduced me to GAF and eventually led me here, so I'm really happy to be here for another crazy leak cycle

I feel like it's going to be like the X n Y reveal. We will get the starters and a look at the "BRAND NEW GRAPHICS" I just have a feeling.

Midgar, With Love
If any of you run a news site and need someone to do a fluff piece on how absolutely exuberant they are for the Gen 8 reveal my DM door is always open

Bonus factoid: I was a lapsed fan for five years until Let's Go and now I can't stop playing Black 2

Bonus factoid #2: Eevee > Pikachu WHO'S WITH ME FAM

welcome! I agree. I lurked throughout the entirely of 2018 and eventually decided to make an account because era just feels friendlier when it comes to pokemon discussion compared to a lot of other message boards these days
