You know what would be AMAZING?
Pokemon Directs....every month. They don't have to be long, or substantial, but every month we get a video talking about something about the upcoming games. New feature, returning features, new Pokemon, even some mild story/character coverage.
As frustrated as I am over Nintendo's lack of exposure at E3, some people at other sites have pointed out that maybe this is actually a good idea. E3 is losing a lot of relevancy over the years due to it only being open to the press. That worked well back in the day when a lot of game information came in the form of magazines and during the early days of the internet, but nowadays this sort of info is readily available everywhere that E3 really isn't all that big anymore. The other trade shows are generally better because they're more open and available. This isn't just Nintendo pulling out (to an extent) from E3 either. Maybe this is why LoZ is the only thing they're going to show there, because every other game in the Wii U's current line-up (Color Splash and Mirages) are already fairly well known.I see no reason to rule out E3 just yet tbh. LoZ might be central to them and the only game playable but that doesn't mean SM won't have a focus in their presentation. XY weren't playable at E3 in 2013 but they still had a good showing in the Direct and then the roundtable later that day which gave us a lot of information. And Masuda has said he will be at E3, so it looks likely SM are getting something there.
And frankly Nintendo don't really have much else to show to hype their fans considering their situation with the NX and Wii U. So I'd honestly be surprised if they don't use Pokemon SM to their advantage even if LoZ is the main attraction. The entire event for them can't possibly focus solely on LoZ and ignore anything else they have - especially when a main series Pokemon game is such a big title and cash machine for them.
And Masuda has said he will be at E3, so it looks likely SM are getting something there.
That probably has something to do with Nintendo being really the only big name in handhald gaming. Sony has long since accepted that the vita cannot compete. When 50% of about 25% of the convention is connected to handhelds it certainly can feel like they're not meant to be there.I may be wrong, but I always took E3 as being more heavily focused on games for the larger platforms like Playstation, Xbox and Wii. Handheld-only games just don't get the same amount of attention there, was my impression.
Unless we get confirmation ahead of time about SM's presence (unlikely), I'm expecting very little.
