Official Pre-Pokémon Sword & Pokémon Shield Speculation & Leaks thread

Good morning/day to everyone. Let’s hope it’ll be a good day.

Oh, I can practically guarantee it will! Just four and a half hours to go...

 

[Silktree]

Do you think they will do a past gens montage like with the other pokemon directs where it takes most of the direct time or will we have a more meaty reveal this time ?

Either they'll do a montage or they have another announcement. The trailer will most likely be 1-2 minutes long and there will only be so much to add to it.

That doesn’t change anything. The direct will air in 3.5 hours (as of this message) wherever you are.

Japan:
5:34 PM (February 27) aka the last sunset for the Gen 7.
6:14 AM (February 28) aka the first sunrise for the Gen 8.

America:
5:59 PM (February 26) aka the last sunset of Gen 7.
6:44 AM (February 27) aka the first sunrise for Gen 8.

Correct me if this is not right.

If the fire starter ends up being a sheep don't get too excited, they can still come up with a Minotaur.
