We're most likely getting a general direct next week yeah, but I doubt we'd see anything pokemon related in it.
That being said, the X/Y and S/M real directs happened within 1-2 weeks of general directs. Two weeks after the general direct is pokemon day which many are speculating will be the reveal date anyways, so here's hoping.

No kidding! I'd love an elephant starter. So many other possibilities.
Rhinoceros, cheetahs, gazelles, okapis, baboons, etc
A sheep starter would make a ton of sense for a UK region. Here's my take on it that will never be made:

I want something like this. Make the wool ignite in flames and it's perfect.A sheep starter would make a ton of sense for a UK region. Here's my take on it that will never be made:

We aren't gonna get Pokemon for a while, even if it feels like forever. I feel like the 27th is too close to the general direct for it to happen, then again Jqnuary 2013 had both in the same month.
As long I can keep my tradition of always using the grass starter on the first run, I'm fine with something 'good'.
Chespin and his line almost made me use Froakie.
If we are talking sheep starters, I'm saddened that Flairees will never be an official pokémon.
Grass starters are underappreciated yet they are the most consistently awesome line (until Chestnaught fucked it up).
This is cool!A sheep starter would make a ton of sense for a UK region. Here's my take on it that will never be made:

But unrealistic because it's not bipedal.

Pokemon starters are generally a bit more interesting than just elemental animal and have very strong shape design (i dont see a single interesting shape in those). If they ended up being something like that fan mon id be be pretty disappointed.
This on the other hand looks pretty cool. Whys it so angry though?

I just couldn't use Quilladin in my game until he evolved, I was very tempted to get that Bulbasaur. I was totally ready to drop my tradition but Rowlet saved the day.
Flairees is cooler than most of their legendaries. Which is to say, this design would never happen for a starter, lolIf we are talking sheep starters, I'm saddened that Flairees will never be an official pokémon.
Original character, do not steal, gamefreak
I got a little greedy with my punsmanship with Swelshear (swell, swelter, sweater, welsh, shear, sear).
That final evo is amazingIf we are talking sheep starters, I'm saddened that Flairees will never be an official pokémon.
A four-legged final evolution for the fire starter would certainly be the BOTW-sized revolution we've been hearing about.
Make it happen, Nintendo.

My problem with this is that it's not "interesting" enoough. Just kinda feels boring. Tho i guess it's more Gen 1ish.
That's fan art for ya. Just trying to convey the idea (and write pun names), I didn't do any refining or design iteration
oh you made it? im sorry if that sounded critical, its still well drawn I just didnt personally feel the Pokemon starter vibe.
Hopefully for Gamefreak to learn how to properly model topography in 3D so we don't have every single town being completely flat like in SuMo or tiered like in the 2D games
No worries. Pokemon (starters especially) are really refined in order to be simple and appealing.
I still think a Fire Starter based on the Highland Cattle would work the best for a UK Region but a Fire Sheep would also work very well
Yeah, go Fire Steel Sheep!
Aaaaand once again, I'm sad this will never be an actual Pokemon.
Miss you, Platy the Platypus.
Miss you, Clown Primarina.
More fluid exploration and optional playable avatars
If we're getting a UK based region, what will the Pokemon food be based off of? If they're not jaffa cakes, I'll be mad.
scones are the only logical choice for small and colourful baked goods
If they do a sheep I'd like it to be Fire/Steel, based on steel wool.
Yeah, Flairees is damn perfection. It's one of the very few fakemon I wish was real.

I am not quite sure on the Water Starter - i could see it maybe being based on a Water Vole which is a common Pokemon in the UK but outside that i have no ideas.
Isn't that a goat not a sheep?If we are talking sheep starters, I'm saddened that Flairees will never be an official pokémon.
Scale and detail along the lines of the Xenoblade games.
It's nice to want things.
Custard creams or we riot.
I was thinking an idea for the UK starters is they are loosely based on Legends/stories. Legends/stories which would play a prominent role in the Reigon. The Grass Starter could be based on a Leprechaun mixed with a British Rabbit. The Water Starter could be based on the Loch Ness Monster. I am not sure about the Fire Starter but an idea was have it based on the Minotaur from Greek Legends
You could have a Fire starter based on the Welsh dragon.
That would be cool but if we go by the Zodiac theory, Dragon is used up. But that could be cool. Having the starters being based on Legends from Scotland,Ireland and Wales.
Another starter idea in terms of Legends is one being based on the Black Dog aka the Hound of the Basketvilles. I think it could be a Grass/Dark Pokemon
Dogs are very popular in the UK so having a Dog Starter in the UK would make a lot of sense
Is it me or does the final evolution look a bit like baphomet? Fiery goat? Not that this is necessarily an objection, devil goat starter seems kind of awesome.A sheep starter would make a ton of sense for a UK region. Here's my take on it that will never be made:

Agree with you. Something like Gerudo Town in BOTW would be nice.
And free camera is very important for me.
I thought along these lines of having a Loch Ness Monster based legendary.. but then I read apparently Lapras was loosely based on it and was even going to be called Ness in the in original plans. Also, Amaura was similar-ish...
I still think they could do something different if they did another Pokémon based on the Loch Ness Monster
Again with the Zodiac Theory, we've already had a Dog (Fennekin), Zodiac (Along with the associated pokemon) are as follows.
Rat (Cyndiquil)
Ox
Tiger (Litten)
Rabbit
Dragon (Charmander)
Snake
Horse
Sheep
Monkey (Chimchar)
Rooster (Torchic)
Dog (Fennekin)
Pig (Tepig)
Of course, nothing stopping the grass or water starter possibly being a dog. Snivy line back in Gen 5 was a Snake after all.
