I suppose we could get sort of a soft announcement? They could conceivably reveal a new Eeveelution without announcing the new game first and then alter reveal Zeraora. It wouldn't be the first time we've gotten new Pokemon before a proper title reveal.
It would be the first time they announce a new gen pokemon before all the previous gen pokemon were announced. Not happening. Imagine this scenario:
They announce new eeveelution.
They announce Zeraora for gen 7.
They announce gen 8.
They announce that the new eeveelution will be in gen 8.
People will just stop trying to understand what pokemon belongs to what generation. Too much confusion. The main question would be: why the new pokemon Zeraora is in gen 7 when he has basically been announced so close to gen 8 games?

I only saw someone else mention that he was talking about the possible news this week. They may have misconstrued that Reddit post Sodiumchloride just posted as that. Still trying to find out if there was another post we missed tho. As far as I know this guy is legit. He admits that maybe some of his sources are not always the best, but says that the ones he personally is in contact with are solid. He is also the person that said Metroid Prime 4 was being made by bandai namco and that turned out to be true too as they're helping with the project. We shall see tho

The first mention of Marcus Sellars in that link and I immediately started having doubts. From what I understand there's some negativity and unreliability surrounding that.

I can't see them announcing a Gen 8 Pokemon 3 days from now, so I agree, Feb 21st is probably an Eevee app.

The might show a new eevee evo before the actual games like megearna
Except for the fact that Volcanion was announced two months before Magearna while Zeraora has not been revealed yet.
Guys, Zeraora is the key. When it will be out then we can start speculate about switch titles announcement. Forget about new pokemon being announced before Zeraora.

The case is that we only know that Zeraora is a Generation VII Pokémon.
We don't know what is Game Freak going to do with it — maybe they will connect Zeraora with the Switch title, maybe not. Maybe they will announce both at the same time; who actually knows?

We really can't assume we need to hear about Zeraora first. As I said, they can annouce it with Generation VIII and tie them in some way or another. Game Freak has become unpredictable since Black 2 and White 2.

Personally I think Zeraora will come first, but I can't just take it for granted.

I'm just gonna say that I'm kinda glad if they are going to reveal something, that they're not going to do it too early, since a flaw with previous promotions was that things would usually die out in the early months and only kick off by May.

Zeraora is totally getting announced before the Switch game. Announcing the Switch game before Zeraora will kill all hype for Zeraora.

This might be the pessimistic legendary-hater in me, but does that really matter? If they don’t make a big deal out of one legendary Pokémon out of hundreds, is that such a bad thing?

Volcanion - December 2015
Magearna - February 2016
Gen 7 announcement - February 2016 (2 weeks after Magearna).
May 10th 2016 - First official trailer
November 2016: Gen 7 release (9 Months after the announcement).

So technically, if they push for a 2018/early 2019 release, Zeroara has to be revealed this month or in March.

i think this is how it will work out:
March 1- New movie trailer+Zeraora reveal
march 10-12- something new for lugia from corocoro
March 16-19: Pokemon Direct, with Pokemon for switch, showcase blastoise for pokken and new trailer for detective pikachu because they need to hype it up.

Here's my reasons for disliking a India/Sri Lanka region.

1. Not very well known (Sri Lanka is barely heard of and India is mostly only known by people who are film buffs or work in the IT industry)
2. Lack of biome variety (If this turns out to be true, this would be the fourth game in a row set in a tropical area, and I'm bored to death of those)
3. It could potentially offend people (If they decide to incorporate Hinduism into the games, it could be seen as offensive to some people, leading to bad PR)

First of that is a very RACIST COMMENT
Second have you ever been to India to say it lacks Biomes or was that just internet research on your part?
Third how many times has it been that pokemon referenced gods/deities that they made it very subtle that they know how it cannot offend anyone

JUST BECAUSE YOU DONT WANT IT DOESNT MEAN IT WONT HAPPEN!

Remember that you are not talking about Jirachi. Zeraora has not been announced yet. Revealing it and then forget about it it's just a bad move on the marketing side. Zeraora is probably in the next movie and will be distributed at some point. It has a role in this year marketing and GF wants it to be popular.

Volcanion - December 2015
Magearna - February 2016
Gen 7 announcement - February 2016 (2 weeks after Magearna).

True.

I don't think you can call him racist for not wanting the game in India, besides he was concerned with not wanting to offend other cultures/religions hardly the mark of a racist.

Reread his post he said india/sri lanka are only known for being film buffs and IT specialist if that is not racist what is?
