A new Nintendo Direct has been announced for April 12 (3PM PT/6PM ET) with new information about Nintendo Switch and 3DS games. The main focus will be on Arms and Splatoon 2, but we will probably hear about other games as well.

Anyone want to be super optimistic and hope for our first Pokémon Stars tease?!
supposedly Yooka-Laylee in an hour
Choosing a Ground type in gen 4 is so difficult, between Garchomp, Mamoswine, Gliscor Hippowdon, Torterra and Gastrodon we’re pretty spoilt for choice.
Also Torterra, Rhyperior (yeah, yeah, I know, it’s earthen’s thing, but I kinda like it), and steelix if we’re factoring in past ones.
Yeah, I edited in Torterra, kinda forgot to mention Rhyperior ’cause it used to be a pain to get. I think I’ll just stop team planning until remakes are actually announced because I’m annoying myself :/
I know how you feel. A lot of mons I want to use, not enough space!
Just realized that PokeJungle stopped following me on Twitter…..WHY?!?!?!?! What did I do?!?!?!?!?! lol
The bitch has never followed me. Then again, I am under my human form on twitter. STILL.
Like it must have been sometime in the past 5-6 months as he was following me when SM came out. @PJ !!!!! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/034eeb05b73d99baf30b19ef4b65e6177666701c0d233c604bed70334c168639.jpg
That’s worse than never getting a follow honestly
Right? hahaha
Now you’re left wondering if you did something wrong and you secretly harbor a bit of resentment.
I feel like I’m goona end up falling off of a lot of cliffs
Here are my direct predictions:
ARMS
—————–
– New characters briefly shown off
– Story mode trailer
– Details on the different modes
– Release date: May 26th
Splatoon 2
———————–
– Each map featured on day one will be briefly shown off
– Story mode trailer
– Possibily details on modes coming post-release
– Release date: June 23rd
Other
—————–
– Possibly another Echoes trailer, though it would be pointless now
– A minor surprise announcement (nothing huge, E3 is right around the corner)
On the subject of Pokemon, I honestly think it’s possible. While GF usually does their own thing, the timing is pretty on target at this point. While it’s still unlikely, I’m not going to dismiss the idea altogether.
Well we’re definitely closing the gap for pokemon. We have about 3 weeks for confirmation until there’s likely no game this year.
A bit more than that. I’m saying E3 is the deadline. I’m not saying they would reveal the game at E3, but they would definitely want to have announced it before hand. I’d say if we don’t have anything by June 1 it isn’t happening this year.
Idk, that feel a bit late to me. That’d be like a 4-5 month window.
In all fairness though, if it was only a remake that would be enough time. Most people would know the vast majority of the game, and the hype for it would be around any new changes made.
Yeah, but they gave ORAS a full half year and that was pretty short compared to previous releases. And if it’s not on the 3DS and is on the switch, I feel like they’d delegate more time to hype it and reveal graphical upgrades.
Personally I think its way to early to be thinking of switch games. Like it’ll be at least another 2 years before we see anything pokemon on the switch.
As for the time compared to ORAS; it could be that they’ve learned from it and that remakes don’t need as much hype, or simply aren’t worth it. Not much gets changed with the remakes, so its not like we need a ton of information to help hype us up. Maybe the new design’s of team galactic, the cover pokemon, the PC, and some of the new design’s would be enough, and maybe showing off the newer features that their playing around with.
True, it’s not impossible. I’m just a bit skeptical
I’m skeptical as well, don’t get the wrong idea. I’m just willing to see that its possible. Heck Echoes is actually an acceptable game that doesn’t suck so I’d be willing to believe almost anything at this point.
I just watched a wild hog run right off of the plateau
NOOOOOOO SAVE THE HAUNCHES
So for those of you with BotW, what is your play time? Mine is 105 hours and I still have a lot I want to do lol
135+ Hours
Nice. I’ll probably be at an even 120 before I finish it.
I think I was around 40 hours when I put it down. I got enough out of it, but I”m not huge on open-ended games.
That’s probably what a normal person would have, honestly. I’m just playing it really slowly and squeezing every drop of fun out of it I can.
2 hours lol
It’s a start. xD
Tbh I don’t really like Wally’s battle music for ORAS. It feels more like an intro tune. There’s hardly any variation in it and it’s just repetitive. It really doesn’t give off a battle vibe to me.
I have to agree. Though it was awesome they didn’t just keep the normal trainer theme.
Yeah, it was nice they went the extra mile. Just felt they coulda done better
Zinnia has a much better one but we only get to fight her once -_-
any second Yooka-laylee…..EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I for one welcome seeing your joy of the game or your restless salt if it sucks after the first hour or so. Enjoy it Earthen.
Awwwwwwwww i guess it was a freaking typo
I am finally back
Performing for you
If you know the words you can join in too
Put ya hands together, if ya wanna clap
As we take you through this jungle rap
Huh
Dk… Donkey Kong
He’s the leader of the bunch, you know him…
Eh I give up
It’s almost time… I’ve been waiting so long for this moment
Me too
I’m only five Pokemon away
From what?
To having EVERY new Alolan mon and Alolan form competitively bred
I JUST REMEMBERED SOMETHING
I think the other thing in the direct will be a new Pikmin 3DS trailer.
Random thought: what do you think this direct says about Splatoon 2’s release date? Since it’s featured here and not E3, do you think it means it’ll come out before E3, or do you think this means nothing?
There’s no way it’s coming before E3. I think it will probably be in mid-late July or early August.
Ugh I hope not. I think Splatoon is a great summer title, and if I only have a few week with it befor school starts up again that’d suck. Maybe it just isn’t enough information to give it time at E3, but who knows.
Sounds like the GameXplain guys are 100% against the idea of a Pokemon reveal in this Direct. For this reason, I’m going to include it in MY predictions. Do they not realize that it would break all past tradition to reveal a Pokemon game at E3? I guess we’re left with 4 options: Pokemon in the Direct, Pokemon between E3 and the Direct, Pokemon at E3, or the most unpopular option…no Pokemon this year at all.
I’m actually watching that part right now lol
For one, there’s no way they would put an announcement at E3. I say it’s either before or no game this year.
Also, Andre has absolutely no merit in anything he says about Pokemon. He is oblivious to any past trends of the series since he isn’t a fan 😛
Yeah, I forgot about that. Huh.
The guy’s openly admitted that he’s not a fan of handheld gaming. That’s sadly kinda a problem.
If its none at all I will hiddle in a corner and cry as I cuss out GF for cheating me again
Oh yeah definitely. They haven’t done a full Pokemon reveal in a mixed Direct in a……Actually I’m pretty sure they’ve never done a full reveal in a mixed direct. It makes more sense for TPCI to put out their own video package so they don’t have to share air time.
Fake???
http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1491868405686.png
Looks it. The circle-Star shape at the center doesn’t look like its properly positioned. More like someone quickly photo-shopped it and hoped people wouldn’t catch it.
I dunno, but it’s definitely not anywhere else online.
It could also just be a bad fake in the Japanese community. I’m not familiar enough with the text, but it still looks oddly off to me. Like the font isn’t 100% right.
I think I found out what was bothering me. it’s the stars color. it doesn’t match the pattern that sun and moon had.
https://68.media.tumblr.com/1eaca1985e5388a54584ea495f327dba/tumblr_o39srmc9ZO1v9ygqeo1_1280.png
What is the pattern exactly?
The sun and Moon words are either white or black, with a black or white outline, and then a second outline thats a gradient going from yellow to red or light blue to purple.
This one uses a sort of cosmic background instead of a solid color and doesn’t have any gradient effect. As well it chooses the color purple, which seems ok at a glance since the versions are more or less red and blue, but the games had a general warm and cool color scheme, making something of a third version would probably go more for a gray scale sort of design. At least I’d guess that would be the design direction, given everyone assumes that the cover pokemon would be Necro, which being represented by the extremes of color would be fitting given its a prism.
Where did you find it?
4chan, the ultimate mixed bag.
Oh god 4Chan…..Can’t they straighten themselves out? lol
Of course it is. As a pro tip if you don’t see something plastered all over the place then it likely is fake lol
Yeah, purely because it uses the same color scheme as all the fake logos. Seems odd, idk
Also what is this, Pokemon Minior? xX
*xD
I would say definitely. All they really did was alter the background color of the stars. Anyone could do that. And then they just made a more generic image instead of the sun and moon symbols
Hmm probs fake
What does that even say?
Those katakana latter pronounce Sutazu ………….so I didn’t know if the Japanese pronunciation will be like that or not.
I pray we don’t repeat 2015 this year with just at best a few crummy free games and a Very crummy Side-Game for the whole Pokémon thing, but Sun and Moon was worth it yet Stars isn’t worth it to have a dry year
Personally I wouldn’t mind. This year is already full of games to distract me, but I’d still rather add Pokemon to that list.
I hope for something cause my Game pool this year so far
Nothing *Tumbleweed flys by*
Cause No Yo-Kai yet, No Pokémon yet and No Kirby yet
I must now before heading to bad spew the memes I have found today take them and good night!

Poor poor Shiinotic
the damn thing can be chopped into a pizza toppings by a madman
I mean it is that mon of this gen
… yknow
The one literally NO ONE remembers
I remember it
P. Sure it was one of Fae’s favourite Pokemon
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/7bb241397290f6f5454be64da23427ddbd52b555684b3ee649b8ccd1c76ae31a.gif
Well it’s definitely one of the least remembered
What’s a Shiinotic?
Another Alola’s Pkm that sucks competitively?
Link… you must save Hyrule
Me: Jumps off the temple of time and immediately dies
I’ve fallen off of a lot of cliffs btw
Ehhhhhhhh Earthen sleepys
Yooka-Laylee in an hour…. Want to play it….but wants siblings to watch intro…
Gotta work in the morning….
Netflix now has Pokemon XYZ, because why not? Lets throw the most painful season of the franchise in our faces once again
Still salty that Greninja’s super shuriken lost to the bs Blast Burn -_-
I mean how can you not? It’s so obvious that it was a last minute decision. I don’t know why they couldn’t just have Ash finally win then win a vacation in Alola or something
They’re afraid that if Ash wins a league, it will result in the anime losing popularity because there won’t be a reason to watch anymore. We all want Ash to win, thats the only reason we watch it right? At least, thats what the writers think
Or just have a completely new protag in alola since it’s already so different from the other series
Even better
Blast Burn? I thought it was called Plot armor
Are you serious?! XY&Z was one of the best seasons! Sure, the league outcome was disappointing but Team Flare arc compensated for it.
Triggering so many people
I like your style!
