Official Pre-Pokémon Sword & Pokémon Shield Speculation & Leaks thread

[Oriden]

What if we don’t get a true Pokémon game? What if it’s a splatoon pokemon crossover. It would explain splatoon and Pokémon on the Coro Coro cover together!

I think a crossover region would be cool... but I wouldn't pick Splatoon for it. XD

This is a fun topic, though- I'm trying to think what sort of crossover I'd want, but all I can think of is Digimon, and that franchise is a bit too complicated. I'd love to put Patamon and Wigglytuff next to each other, though- Patamon's resemblance to Wigglytuff is what drew me into watching Digimon ages ago.

I don't know about just a Pokemon/Splatoon crossover either, but I'm not very into Splatoon in the first place.

Masuda retweeted Eevee invading the weather forecast. People in Japan must be obsessed with the weather considering that both Eevee and Masuda spend half of their time on twitter talking about it...XD

When you barely get any time off, weather becomes a very important thing in your life.
So not surprising at all.

Back to the other point, I wouldn't mind some kind of crossover game, but I feel like we're kind of getting that already with Smash.

All that evees popping up, it could at least be a little hint who knows. To another point, i wonder what comes first, page 500 of this thread or a pokemon direct

I reeeaaaaalllllly wasn't expecting anything in Corocoro. I think we need to stop relying heavily on it for news when in reality TPC has taken huge advantage of trailers, the website, and social media instead.

 

[SodiumChloride]

meh, i think it's too late for a new gen announcement

Ohmori said they don't reveal things as early because info spreads fast iirc

 

[Desdar300]

It's E3 or bust

I think mostly we only rely on it because it's the only predictable news source. It's pretty much the only pit stop in a desert, so... even knowing that it's not going to have anything interesting, we still stop by just incase.

The latest leaks got me thinking, There’s already that old theory that the kanto games are post war hence all the kids and very few adult males around and LT surge with his statements. With that alone we kinda already have the building blocks for the apocalyptic Kanto thing lol

There’s also Kalos which takes it to the extreme as well as Gen 7 with the guzzlord space lol

So...Masuda is trying to allude to an upcoming game by tweeting about the weather, and expecting people to make a connection to leaked titles from years ago, amidst all the other elements in the tweet that aren't connected to it, on a personal twitter account? As opposed to being clear about a game's announcement, making a video to showcase a game's features, and releasing it at an event with people expecting to see new video games?

There's a reason why the latter option is more popular-it's sound business. Being cryptic about products isn't going to make more money.

 

[Silktree]

I don't even see any plus or minus sign in the video. Not that it matters.

 

[Dj Yanma]

E3 better be good, we haven’t got a Nintendo direct in 2 months so it should be good. I’m thinking Pokémon will be reaveled late in the year and released early next year.

Fallout: New Kanto confirmed for a release in Quarter-Four of 2281!

No, its just how plus and minus relate to the weather

He hinted at Sun and moon and Rainbow rocket before their announcment

 

[Silktree]

They relate to a lot of things much more than to weather.

Yes, but that doesn't mean that they aren't related to weather
