Yes, he posted about the Nindies Direct a day (or two) before and he pointed the 13th for the general (after Zell though).
Maybe also something in the past, but this is what I can remember now.
I don't think my heart can take this!
Nah man Lusamine is on a whole other level. Ghetsis is pretty nice too though, same as Cyrus.
BW had a great potential. A "new" Team Rocket with more experience, a great region with the most important plot of the entire Pokémon franchise and of course very cool characters.
Man the BW anime was such trash. It's crazy how much better the SM anime is in every aspect
No. If anything the relevance has been gone with each passing year.
I'm saying it's a thing The Pokémon Company International do for promotion but The Pokémon Company in Japan largely ignores
I think peekybird hinted about Joker and something Marvel related in December before TGA. When I found out about him, I went through its timeline and read these tweets, for this reason I'm looking at him trying to understand more if he really knows something.
So, in the hypothetical scenario where next week is the week, what day would make sense? Pokémon day is Wednesday, so do you guys think they would want to host the announcement a day before (so tuesday) or could they do it during or after Pokémon day?
It might not look as pretty but it will probably have Pokémon in the overworld like that, and it will probably have a controllable camera, and a bit more open environments. Honestly not that far from what's showcased hereMan, I'm way late, but I just saw this mockup today
The next Pokemon game will not look or play anything like this. But I so want it to...
If they went for this much detail and pseudo realism for environments in a pokemon game, it would look so weird.Man, I'm way late, but I just saw this mockup today

Now we're getting somewhere. This guy works at Ubisoft iirc. He's probably just relaying water cooler talk he's heard, but he also alluded to the Nintendo Labo announcement a week or so before, so clearly word gets around about Nintendo stuff.
Holy shit this is amazingPlease refer to this handy graph I have made for the cycle of Pokemon rumours and hype on ResetEra.
If you're wondering where we're at on this graph, we are continuously everywhere and nowhere at once. Schrodinger's hype cycle, if you will.
He doesn't work at Ubisoft any more, but I suppose he still has the past contacts.
The part about "A Pokéon Direct is announced" is absent: it should be represented with a line which exceeds the upper edge of the graph exploding.Please refer to this handy graph I have made for the cycle of Pokemon rumours and hype on ResetEra.

Ahh, he went indie. Good to know. I don't that would change whether he has info or not though.
I hope so. Overworld Pokemon seems like a lock after Let's Go and all the unused work they did for SuMo at least. I just want to keep dreaming the dream of "open world" Pokemon...
I mean, they're already doing "pseudo-realism" to a much higher degree with that Detective Pikachu film. And as much as I still think that is hideous nightmare fuel, most people seem to think it looks "great". Lol.
I mean, it's really just a "BotW mockup" of Pokemon. Which I would be so down for...with some changes accommodating for the fact that they are very different games of course, lol. Something like Dragon Quest XI, which successfully marries traditional turn-based combat with a massive, sprawling world.

The keyword here is 'had'. They reverted Team Rocket around 30 episodes in, had to throw out an important plot understandably because of a tragic earthquake, and ymmv on cool characters. In addition, they also knocked Ash's brains out before the beginning of the BW series to make him even less competent than in Kanto, and proceeded to stuff them back in between BW and XY.
The BW series had potential, but it was ruined because they wanted to soft reboot the anime.

This is the lazier version of the horrible Unreal Engine 4 Pokémon videos that flood YouTube.
He posted about Labo after reading it on ERA, it was being discussed here since almost a week before. Only thing he guessed right was Quest. As for the rest, he is as reliable as Marcus Sellar. Stating something Pokemon-related could happen next week isn't that big of a claim.
Have we ever considered the possibility that these "Visit" videos are a hidden countdown to a Gen 8 tease? Like, the last video will be "Visit Alola!" and then the next day will be "Visit [Gen 8 Region]!" but it doesn't really show anything, just a tease at what kind of region it is.
So we agree it would look weird?
When I think pokemon aesthetic, I think realistic rock textures and being able to distinguish every blade of grass
Why do you think everyone is excited about those "visit _____" tweets? lol
