It's saying there's no trailer nor will it be in a direct, but it'll be in a treehouse.

Treehouse sounds plausible.

I’m predicting that we get legendaries in a trailer before the E3, and E3 gives us:
  1. details on the gym gimmick, or does something to make the Gym Masters term official.
  2. Starters in action
  3. One professor and/or important character reveal.
  4. 2 Early route lines.

No demo? Well, considering what happened with the last ones I can hardly be surprised by that. At this point it's best to expect nothing till Treehouse.

I personally don't expect to hear anything about the new major feature (whatever the symbol on the Gyms is) beyond a small tease, if that. Mega Evolution and Z moves weren't revealed until August of 2013 and 2016, respectively. However, Mega Evolution was teased with Mega Mewtwo Y in April 2013, so it's possible that we get a glimpse of it without any details.

Well, looks like they have Fall 2019 instead of Winter 2019.
If this paper is true, then I suppose we should get a trailer really soon before E3.

I'd be pretty skeptical of this one. Town's been referred to as the game's working title, not the final one, and we've only gotten one or two trailers for it-but we're supposed to believe it's releasing in about three weeks, with no fanfare or promotion? Plus, I'm not finding any mention of The World Ends With You 2 being discovered anywhere else- has the existence of any game been revealed through an E3 schedule leak before?

No. TWEWY 2 has not been revealed. I also highly doubt that Town is its final title and I highly doubt it will be releasing in 3 weeks.

Is it weird that the thing that set off an alarm in my case is the mention of another UMVC3 re-release?

EDIT: Also, why do they mention a SSBU Fighters Pass 2 when only 1 out of 5 characters has been revealed and released?
It means the second Fighter Pass character.

Two reasons of why we won't be getting any more Eeveelution...

1: 8 Eeveelutions are more than enought

and

2: Eevee evolves into Special Types. (Water, Electric, Fire, Psychic, Dark, Grass, Ice and Fairy)

This was a random thing to bring up lol but:

I don’t see why we can’t get more than 8? As was stated before, it’s a fan favorite Pokémon that was just recently promoted a ton. We’re likely to get more at some point.

Fairy is not technically special. Sure, there is only one physical fairy type move, but it was released after the physical/special split. It’s also worth noting that physical/special really doesn’t appear to have much of a bearing on its evolutions considering Leafeon and Flareon are very much Physical attackers. Not to mention the fact that Eevee itself is Normal which was a physical type.

As much as I would love for that leak to be true (TWEWY 2 and Metroid Prime Trilogy revealed, as well as Kingdom Hearts getting some love on Switch), it's way too sketchy for me to believe at the moment. Also this might be a hot take but one thing that pings me is the lack of Pikmin on that list, whether it be ports of the first three or Pikmin 4 news. Here's to hoping for some reverse psychology to work in our favor, though :p

I do think it's odd that we haven't had any news in such a long time. I know that horse has been beaten to death in this thread, but I'll share my opinion anyway; I'm honestly not too angry about it. I would rather have less news than to have it be like Sun/Moon where it felt (personally) that they were sharing so much news it ruined the experience of the first time playthrough of the game. But I do think the lack of anything for the past several months has really killed hype, and if that leak DOES turn out to be true, it's seemingly that this trend will continue into the near future.

Yet Flareon and Leafeon are physical attackers.

Types aren't sorted into Special and Physical anymore and Umbreon was originally going to be Poison, so the "eeveelutions are all Special types" is both wrong and clearly a coincidence to begin with.

And eight eeveelutions being more than enough is subjective. =P
Really, not adding more would be a bit of a loss considering that the eeveelution line is such a popular group for merch. The marketing they could do if they ever had one for each type would be grand.

By the way, Dragon was a Special type, so no, not all Special types received Eeveelutions, I can see them adding one more to make the number half evenly, but then again, Game Freak probably will keep adding Eeveelutions for every type until they run out of types to make them with.
