I just want them to stop doing per-Gen gimmicks. It makes it look like they have no idea what they're doing and are just throwing one-off ideas at a wall.

I don't why people seem so sure it's just going to be a logo reveal or a teaser for whatever the new RPG. They showed in-game footage for Sword and Shield when they revealed that on Pokemon Day 2019.
Cant wait to see another mainline game not do what I want them to do. Maybe this time its different though.
Eh- past remakes haven't tended to be revealed until later in the year, and what with COVID I wouldn't necessarily be surprised to see them sit on it a little while longer first. I do expect the announcement, but I'd be surprised if there was much more.
I want basically the scope of Immortals Fenyx Rising but with pokemon.
Sword is just a pseudo-open world game. It's very linear. Even the wild area is just a boxed up area. A glorified safari zone.
Honestly, I'm expecting more of a post-game NPC whose only purpose is "I come from Galar, try Dynamax here" type of thing. Dynamax has no logic in Sinnoh (or any other region than Kalos due to proximity). I mean, they can shoehorn it like they did megas in ORAS if they want but that would be really silly.
Still, I'd take Dynamax over megas any day.
Kind o f annoying there isn't a youtube link for the english stream. Don't want to have to be scrambling at 7am to pull it up.
And in the Pokémon Day Pokémon Direct in 2016, they only showed logos
I got you covered, don't fret. I'll have all the relevant links. Japanese one is up though
Because remakes are usually revealed much later in the year than this. And we have no idea of knowing if sword and shield was the rule or the exception now since sun and moon was logo only and concept art when it was revealed.
Are Diamond and Pearl remakes heavily rumored? First time I'm seeing anything on it. I'd like to see Yellow Version or Blue
SwSh are in no way huge 3d open world adventure games. That's absurd
Pretty heavily. I think there was a pic of chocolates that were sent out that had the 1st gen, 8th gen and 4th gen starters
It's called Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu. It came out at the end of 2018 and it's super fun. There's also an Eevee version ^_^
please don't say it out loud, you're giving TPC ideas to remake re-kanto re-again
Even if there is some precedent for just the logo to be revealed you don't actually think it's more likely that a trailer do you?
That's on you though.
The "gimmick" serves 2 purposes: sell merch and make VGC distinct.
I hope that Pokemon Sleep is secretly the end result of the journey that started with the Vitality Sensor.
It might take awhile, bit I assume some form of GCN Virtual Console is inevitable (if not on the next Nintendo Console, the one after) so it'll be interesting to see if they wind up doing anything fun with those two games when the time comes.

I know the chances of it are essentially zero but I really hope Game Freak have fixed the pop-in issues from Sword and Shield. It's very weird to have these big field areas that appear completely devoid of living beings until you get within 10 ft of them. It's even weirder in the towns and corridor routes.
They made a big noise about how you could control the camera in the wild area but panning over barren patches of grass is just sad. I want the world to feel alive.

Oh wow. I thought this was just some random spinoff lol. Thank you
I definitely understand that they do it for a real reason, I'd just prefer they not totally abandon them once the generation ends. Like, why bother giving Pokemon cool new forms if you're just going to leave them behind to gather dust in the next generation because you want a new mechanic to help the game stand out?
So Go, Unite, Masters and Sleep are possible mobile games to be discussed. For Switch there's Snap and Detective Pikachu.
I'm hoping for a Pokemon deck builder announcement and GB games on eshop, but Sinnoh is my least favorite region so I hope remakes aren't announced.
My biggest worry is that they'll find a way to make the Switch version of Home even worse in comparison to the mobile one.
The fact that it's Pokemon Presents leads me to think we're specifically only going to get spinoffs, with maybe just a singular logo of the next main series games, if at all.
Ready for Sinnoan (sic?) Meowth.
Moreover, I wish they'd stop deeming well received features exclusive to certain generations. It makes no sense to me that they'd rather do that then build upon these features for subsequent games. Things like secret bases and contests should never have been abandoned. It's not like Sword and Shield's towns were rife with things to do.
I'd rather have this be only for spin-offs or get a confirmation that these games would be for 2022 instead of 2021, haha.
I'm guessing we'll see Detective Pikachu for Switch tomorrow, right?
What I never understood is why they didn't have more playing cards videogames to get everyone to understand how to play with them. If you could get cards during gameplay in a main entry and have a side mode where you can use them for battles I would love it as well. It'd be like a second collectable.

You should stop trying to find logic in the generational gimmick. The fact they come up with excuses as to why the new mechanics are in old regions are dumb as fuck as it is.
The Pokemon Presents aired on June 17th featured content from the first Sword and Shield DLC as well.
Well it helps that every Gen has improved competitive battles with their new gimmick, so it's easy to leave behind clunky Megas. Pokémon is also more than these mainline games.
Will this also be on Pokemon's Twitch channel? I find Twitch streams to be less glitchtastic than YouTube.
Honestly the presents branding instead of the direct branding made me a bit apprehensive of this, but Ohmori and Masuda hyping it up on twitter has made me more hopefully. Not going to get my expectations through the roof or anything but hopefully for a 25th anniversary presentation, this bangs
More information on Pokemon snap
Pokemon lets go Jhoto launching in june 30
Pokemon DP remake launching in nov 21
Pokemon detective pikachu 2 launching sept
New Pokemon mystery dungeon launching next year
Pokken 2 tease
This would make it the best Pokemon present ever and rightly deserved because it's 25th anniversary.
Also there is precedence of 2 main line games releasing single year (frlg and emerald)

It just means you should likely expect things beyond Switch games like mobile.
No
The first Pokémon Presents had SWSH DLC news
