It’s only 7:34pm in Japan as of this message, there’s hope until 11pm for today
Well the "new Pokémon" figure is also listed as being small... Pokémon A is most likely armored mewtwo but the new Pokémon wouldn't be the same thing as Pokémon A and I don't know how likely it is that postman Dragonite would be a "small" figure so I figure that Pikachutwo would be the next most boring candidate. XDAh, it could be Postman Dragonite, I don’t think we’ve had merch shown for it yet, but there’s definitely going to be merch for it according to Pokeshopper.
The last direct was announced at 7:30pm where I am (in Sri Lanka), which is in just under ten hours. I think if we’re getting it today (the 25th), that’d be our best bet.
Edit: My bad, the Takara Tomy figure is referred to as “Mewtwo-related”, so it’s probably another Armoured Mewtwo, rather than Postman Dragonite
11pm...of yesterday.Don't lose hope just yet guys! Hang in there!
The pokemon marketing schedule is honestly really out of whack sometimes like in this situation. There's countless ways it could be improved and they often seem to repeat the same mistakes over and over.
I've always considered the marketing schedule of Pokémon to be one of the better examples in the game industry. I know it's a bit off-topic, but just out of curiosity, how do you think it could be improved? What are the mistakes you are talking about?
The Pokemon schedule somehow manages to have annoying droughts as well as ends up giving ‘too much information’ at the same time.
So maybe giving information at regular intervals without drought periods, while keeping the overall amount of information revealed the same would be an improvement.
About periods of drought, I believe they all had a reason to have happened. But there have been many periods (I mean, are you talking about the pre-release of Sun and Moon, about the break years, or about some other?), So it would be hard to discuss this, we would have to review it one by one.

Edit - (Best*)
I meant the ‘nothing till May’ thing Sun/Moon decided to do.
Having evenly paced reveals would keep desperation at a minimum from fans and would make the information bursts more bearable.
The modern era has complete drought periods, no word or real communication from the company for months on end then you get bombarded with a much needed reveal which is good, then you get more drought periods after the initial tease followed by a season of constant in your face updates until release which are fairly hard to avoid. It clearly brings in the money as sales have showcased but they literally reveal everything about the game before release.
I do wish they would withhold some info or Pokémon.
I will give Pokémon credit, they are on the ball with their social media game once the reveals do happen.
I think you're grossly misinterpreting the so-called negativeness here.Reading some of the frustrated reactions and the daily disappointment all around, it's kind of sad to me and makes me not want to keep up with this thread anymore. I would like to see information on the upcoming games as much as anyone here, but getting angry at GF, Masuda or TPC won't make the information come out any sooner. In contrast, that negative attitude might only make the wait feel longer. I think this announcement is something to look forward to, not something to be let down by every day.
