OFFICIAL MAIN PROTAGONISTS ARTWORKS AND THEIR NAMES. (I want to know them asap!!)
Box Legendary, villain team and that sport/stadium thingy that's enough for me..

Okay, and now I'm hyping up for this game again..

I'm quite intrigued by the "Pokémon business strategy" direct planned this week, which follows recent statements of Game Freak focusing on in-house games.

I can see (even if unlikely) the Pokémon main titles handled by a new studio for the next generation.

It will surely be about some new spin-off, but the timing of GF's interviews and this direct is a bit too tightened to be a coincidence.

I don't imagine Game Freak handling their precious golden-egg-giving franchise to anyone else.

Even if they choose to continue making original games as well, this doesn't mean they are letting anyone else handle Pokémon.

FINALLY! After a 3 month drought, we're FINALLY getting more news. The Direct is a lot longer than I expected also, so I think they might have a lot to share. Here's what I think we'll see...

  • A few early route Pokemon.
  • Characters such as the Professor and your rival.
  • More information about Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble
  • Another look at one of the cities.
  • Information about the Galar Region's gyms.
  • The cover Legendary Pokemon
  • The release date.

I hope we finally hear about pokebank compatibility with swsh. I just have this bad feeling in my gut that these games will be the first since ruby and sapphire to not be able to transfer from older games.

Atleast unlike those games if we riot enough maybe we can force them to figure it out xD after all the internet changed the sonic movie xD

Granted the central gimmick reveals are not the longest ones. I don't know what are. The initial Sword and Shield reveal itself was about 7 minutes. I'm not sure I can find them all, but at a glance, I don't think I saw anything else much longer than 5 minutes.

Calling it. The press conference will announce nothing. June 5th is such a long wait. Who would have imagined we would get 3 dry months in the year of a new Gen?

According to the pokemon company's official facebook page, there will be a pokemon press conference on 28th may that's going to discuss lot of topics and it may give some new info on sw and sh.
Also , the same source revealed that there will be a pokemon direct on 5th June , with more info on sw and sh.You can check pokemon official page on facebook to see what was exacly said

So this thread is about what kind of info you want/expect in the press con and the nintendo direct, and you can also discuss the info we'll get after the press con ,the nintendo direct, and even the E3

June 5 will mostly be about the new Pokemon Games that will probably come out sometime this year, with the last being Sword and Shield.

Doubtfully, obviously we won't get straight 15 minutes of Sword and Shield information but the tweet even specifically said that the direct will be about Sword and Shield so..
