I think the marketing has been quite weak this time, to be honest.
As I said, I’m generally fine with marketing cycle that opts to not spoil a lot of the game.
The situation is complex for the Pokémon reveals since they’re quite peculiar, and showing little of them can also lead to pessimistic conclusion, as well as people being indecisive of the version to pick. The way the Sirfetch’d reveal and the stream were handled also aren’t perfect, although for the latter it certainly generated buzz.
If it’s an intentional decision so that players can discover most of the game, including Pokémon, gym leaders an other features, by themselves, I don’t mind it, although it still remains weird in how certain phases are handled. If it’s just an overreaction or what happened with Gen 7 (and GF isn’t the only
Company that overreact to criticism), it’s something that they still need to work on, I guess.
