I don't think they'll be announcing anything until summer. I remember previous release cycles being sparse on info for months on end.

I think Gen VIII's method was better. I think they had realized the previous two Generations had revealed too much in advance.I sincerely don't know, considering the Gen VI and Gen VII cycles revealed too much but the Gen VIII revealed too little.
I disagree. Both methods were incredibly bad in both extremes. Sun/Moon revealed everything while way too less was revealed for Sword and Shield. And then there was this making people stare at a screen jolt to reveal one Pokémon thing.I think Gen VIII's method was better.

There should be a medium
I’m not really sure how that was handled since I wasn’t really a part of the online fandom back then....For me, X & Y's prerelease was more-or-less the ideal.
Maybe because it's closer? *shrugs*Famitsu's most wanted games - April 11, 2021
It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart. Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 slips a spot but remains in the top five, Pokemon Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl move up several spots, and Pokemon Legends: Arceus makes its first appearance. Head past the break for the full chart. All...nintendoeverything.com
According to famitsu Theres more interest in bdsp than in Legends arceus

I haven't seen a poll, but some Japanese fans aren't enamored with BSDP's graphics to say the least.Maybe because it's closer? *shrugs*
Or just another case of cultural differences.
I'd like to think it's because of less vulnerability to video game hype culture. Large swathes of people just assumed for whatever reason that No Mans Sky and Cyberpunk 2077 would be so fucking amazing that they blow all other games out of the water such that people who played them wouldn't want to play the type of game that we're all used to. We don't know that much about Legends Arceus so the person with the active imagination and the love of open worlds can fill and the blanks where as a more cynical person would say "what can I do in this game either then run around in a field, dodge roll and catch wild pokemon?".Maybe because it's closer? *shrugs*

Granted, the rest of the new Pokémon inevitably did end up leaking early; however, I seem to recall Serebii's after-release discoveries thread being the ground on which a fair few Mega Evolutions were first posted.
SwSh: First revealed in February 2019 with our next ounce of info not coming out until June 2019 when information about Galar, some new Pokemon, the Wild Area, and Dynamax was revealed.
I think XY had a better release cycle I think. The initial reveal gave us enough to be interested in, and they gave out tiny little things like Sylveon and a tease for Megas before the info really started to roll in, and even then it didn't feel like too much, like Sun and Moon.I could have sworn that Sword and Shield's second trailer came out a month after the first... but you're right, it came out in June! Funny, I don't remember the wait being that long - otherwise I wouldn't have been getting so impatient for the next BDSP trailer.
I actually think Sword and Shield nailed the pre-release coverage. They revealed just enough, while still leaving plenty to discover. I regret looking at the leaks - had I avoided them, I could have had the same fresh experience that X and Y gave me, only on a much bigger scale.
Sun and Moon's pre-release period was, admittedly, one of the most exciting we've ever had, especially as there were so many new ideas in those games like Trials, Totem Pokemon, Ultra Beasts and so on. But I couldn't help but feel a bit cheated when I looked at the datamine and realised how few Pokemon had been kept secret.
