I don't think that they are going to do that, especially for a new gen.I'm not gonna be surprised if we have to wait until E3. We've waited this long with little news, another month isn't that big of a deal.
These are console games, which will cost much more than 3ds games. They should be bigger than 3ds games --> there should be much more stuff to reveal.
I'm using logic right now and I know it's something I shouldn't do with game freak but I seriously hope they didn't just bring a 3ds game to the switch apart from the graphical side. If I have to pay 60 dollars for these games, I'm expecting they were smart enough to make console games and not just more expensive 3ds games. The fact that a remake of Yellow which required litterally a year of development and barely added anything new to the original game earned almost the same money of Zelda, is something my mind cannot really accept. The fact that a game which is 20 years old now costs 60 dollars because of 3d graphics and pokemon in the overworld while everything else is in the exact same position is just unfair.
I don't think that they are going to do that, especially for a new gen.
Detective Pikachu won't interfere with Sword & Shield. It will actually help it.One month won't matter in the long term, any information they release now they can release later. But Detective Pikachu is about to release, I think they're going to want all eyes on that for the next few weeks.
E3 feels like an opportune time to drop a massive, enjoyableinfodump on players, and hopefully that'll be the start of a regular news cycle for SwSh.
Renting games is a thing. It's cheap and beats disappointment.If I have to pay 60 dollars for these games, I'm expecting they were smart enough to make console games and not just more expensive 3ds games.
Highly location specific though.Renting games is a thing. It's cheap and beats disappointment.
Yeah. The last new gen E3 drop only revealed the first route Pokemon. They have almost always had information in May. An American made live action movie isn't going to change that.It's still not even close to Corocoro time. May can still provide information.
It's not as if the E3 drop is that massive.
Maybe people think companies would assume fans would be like "OH MY GOD IN A FEW MONTHS TWO GAMES WILL RELEASE I CAN'T POSSIBLY WATCH THIS MOVIE OF THE SAME FRANCHISE NOW BECAUSE A TRAILER HYPED ME UP FOR THEM"I'll never understand why some people say that news can't drop around the same time as Movies.
It's not like most fans or people interested in the series are going to go "I have watched this pokemon movie it is now time for me to not look at/read about/think about ANYTHING pokemon related for the next month. If anything I'd expect the opposite. "Aw man this is great I enjoyed that movie I want to see if there's anything else interesting in the pokemon side of things- AW MAN LOOK AT ALL THIS COOL NEW GAME STUFF. HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE."

It's typical for there to be game silence in March and April though because those are traditionally big movie news months. They're not big news now so it makes sense to switch gears into upcoming game news to keep drawing attention to the franchise.That...wasn't my point? My point was that they likely have more focus on a product out this month, rather than a product out in six.
It makes more sense from a marketing standpoint. It's kindof like how they don't want Pokemon game news sharing a Direct time, they may not want game news getting lost in the midst of all the movie hype. I don't know, I'm not an expert, but the game silence/heavy movie promo could indicate that they want the focus on a current product.
CoroCoro is just over a week away, it's fairly close. It's likely to leak even sooner.
Yes. The movie would actually get more people interested in Sword & Shield. It's not competition, but rather a gateway.I just don't understand that logic. Like we even had a movie trailer and the SWSH reveal on the same day. Like wtf, both are equally important.
Corocoro could leak within the next 5-6 days. Its pretty close to Corocoro time. I seriously hope its not just more movie info though.It's still not even close to Corocoro time. May can still provide information.
While I agree with what you say, I think a trailer will drop before corocoro, even before It could leak. I mean, if we are gonna get legends this month, they should have their own trailer to shine and not be presented to the world through a blurry Japanese scan.Corocoro could leak within the next 5-6 days. Its pretty close to Corocoro time. I seriously hope its not just more movie info though.
May always has been a big news month though, so there's hope for Sword and Shield news. We've gotten news for X and Y, Sun and Moon, as well as the reveals of ORAS and Let's Go in May. I THINK The Unova starters also.
