It is also much more beneficial if they show gameplay since they need to show what the Switch is capable of with Pokemon games. Having the Sun and Moon-type of announcement isn't enough to get players to move on from the 3DS, basically, they just need to show how the game looks in order to get more people interested.

I agree, they also need to show to some how the game is different from LGPE. But if they are planning to use live action as I think they can do, it would be better to get everyone (including the audience who will watch it) to get into the hype together. So it would be better to show the first game trailer close to the live action release. About the teaser, I think it's necessary to calm the longtime fans, we've been a long time without news about.

even at a first glance those textures look super unprofessional. no way those were done by someone working on a pokemon game

As I said before, I don't think that the games will be revealed in May unless they are not Gen 8.

It probably won't be revealed until E3

someone posted this on 4chan, it would be the green tanuki textures, I'm still skeptical

I found the post this is from, people are calling it out there for the overuse of Alpha and the file name being pm900 when it should be pm_0900 and they also posted pictures of Tapu Koko and Lele as comparisons.

There’s really no reason to believe they’ll announce the game at E3 when there’s no precedent for that and they like doing their own thing (press event/Pokemon direct)

Translation:

"Creatures has eliminated the tweet in which two employees visited the Yasukuni Sanctuary.

In this sanctuary, among thousands of deads, are the bodies of 14 criminals of World War II.

Some people have asked for a Pokémon boycott for doing that."

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.

Those would make good pseudo legionaries! Wonder what there typings would be? But seriously a white dragon or red dragon looking similar to those would be awesome!

Dragon/Ice and Dragon/Fire I could imagine

I understand, but what are the reasons for you to think so? If you are just relying on old patterns, remember that we have a new "element" this year, the live action.

Legendary pocket monsters based on the solar system.

Team Galactic was based on the Solar System, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto(Chion)

Team Neon?

Both May and E3 are too late to announce a new generation, as new generations require more marketing to give the idea that the game is new and not a remake or follow up games.

I don't buy the "user was banned for this post" thing. Hell, I don't think 4chan bans anyone or it wouldn't be the cluster**** it is right now.

They do ban people, actually.

It’s just that the moderation there is mediocre.

Moderation exists there? Wow, and I thought GameFAQs was bad at that.

I don't think that the live action is going to be the big deal that you think it will be, since we have the first trailer for the movie now and hype for it has been pretty lackluster. And they really don't benefit whatsoever by making everyone wait until the movie is released in May to start the news cycle for games likely to release in November- especially with how theater ads play out. You get them at the start of the movie- so oh boy, look everyone, new pokemon games! Followed by two hours of film to make you forget all about it. Or they could put the ad after the credits but everyone walks out during the credits unless it's a Marvel film so there goes most of your audience anyway.
