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

Isn't it almost midnight in Japan? Unless Pixelplar meant Jan 9 then I don't see anything big happening today.

No, it's 23:00

 

[SamurottMan]

No, it's 23:00

So..........almost midnight! Whether it's 11:17am or 12:00am, Jan 8 is not our day...

Then there's January 10th, hopefully.

Reactions like this remind me of the old times while playing Emerald when I each day told myself "Today's the day" before talking to the Mirage Island man.

Tomorrow at 15:00 GMT will probably be when it will happen.

What will? The announcement of an announcement? XD

January 10th will start in Japan from 3 PM GMT. That's will be when the supposed Direct will come out.

I mean they usually announce a Direct the day before it's uploaded so...

Perhaps until day, or is it usually midnight?

 

[KiranTheWitch]

No direct early in the month. More WAITING.

I feel like a good chunk of people here may explode if January goes by without an announcement... I'll get the bomb shelter ready for everyone else. XD

Rumor stating that capture system is redesigned, potentially announcement by E3?

if generation 8 is set in England, is there any Dragon lore that could give us some really cool Dragons? I was underwhelmed by the last two generations dragons and am hoping we get some really cool dragons for this generation.

There is a King Arthur story about a White Saxon Dragon and a Red Welsh Dragon. I would love to see a Welsh Dragon Pokemon in the game.

There is a rumor that the capture system is redesigned and that an announcement could be expected by E3. I would post a source but my posts keep needing moderator review for posting links. When the post is reviewed and accepted, I will delete this post, but double-posting so that this post can keep discussion rolling

I honestly don't see how they cod redesign the capture system a third way. I could see them adding new elements to one of our existing methods (maybe a slingshot added to motion controls, or time prompts for the button press), but I don't see what a third method could be.

I deleted the last post because it went through! There is a tweet and a Google article linked.

It doesnt specify how it is changed but apparently the source is credible.

If "Pokemon A" is a new pokemon, since the plush is set to be revealed at the end of january, It would mean an official reveal of the pokemon would have to come within the next two weeks.

Doesn't exactly mean a game announcement but we do have things to maybe look forward to in the very short term. I'm still pretty interested in vegetablecookin's rumor. While it's true that maybe he got fed false info, he's usually pretty transparent and seems to believe in his source saying that the trailers were currently being translated into different languages. It really does feel like we're almost there.

It's still crazy to me that around this time last year we were debating whether or not we were getting games in 2018 skjfskfsj

I feel they only say the "redesigned capture system" bit because everything else they said is either already known or obvious, so they need something to get them clicks. It's probably fake.

I've never seen a rumor from jeuxvideo.com pan out either.
