As previously announced, today marks the first post-Switch Nintendo Direct!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDedvre19es&t=15s
Airing at 3pm PST we’ve been specifically promised a focus on Splatoon 2 and ARMS, but the official press release mentions that it will cover both the Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo 3DS. So who’s to say some Pokemon news wont pop up?
In the mean time, what are your predictions for the Nintendo Direct? Is this the beginning of Pokemon Stars pre-release?
UPDATE: Unfortunately, and perhaps expectedly, no Pokemon news was discussed during this Nintendo Direct.
Another interesting thing: that text on the bottom-right is straight and apparently printed on, as if it’s drawn on some “officially trademarked” scratch paper.
You’re getting my hope up like I can’t believe ;-;
Pocket Morty did it first https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d97f23d7f2ee0ffcda95df984bc5f4ecc7a69416ab8a8b79685a5e022b5a5a9d.png

Totes adorbs lol
Omg she’s the best

Yeah. She’s adorable, even if her real life inspiration was male. Still best Loli.
I really want the banana to be grass flying or grass rock tbh
Or grass electric
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaait a sec…..
What if two more islands exist in SuMo 2…
Poni should have been bigger. I think the village should become a town with more ships because I like Pokemon ship designs. More islands that were previously unexplored would be cool and could add new Pokemon.
Yesh…. Hawaii has six afterall
I know some people might complain but it could also allow other regional variants, maybe some Johto ones.
Truuu
A twist: Banana Buddy is a Dragon/Normal type pseudo legendary in gen 8
This is the first time in history where a Direct is 0% Pokémon with follow-up comments being 100% Pokémon.
Usually it’s like:
1. actual Pokemon news
2. non-Pokemon chat
Yesh
Just a random question: Who’s your “Relationship Goals” ? Mine would be MatPat and his wife. They’re so cute on the GT live streams!
To have one.

Don’t think this way
It’s a pretty lofty goal I know.
Angelica Schyluer because I will never be satisfied
To die alone. Wait, that’s not a goal, that’s just my reality. Oops

With a Tetanus shot to be specific
Specifics are always nice.
Yesh
Now that Arms and Splatoon 2 are now locked in for June and July, as well as all of the third-party stuff out of the way, I say it’s officially time to start E3 predictions. Here’s mine.
-Animal Crossing (Early 2018)
-Metroid (2018)
-Super Mario Odyssey
-Pikmin 4/World (2018)
-New IP like “Earthbound for a new generation”
-Techno Dragon Boy (or some unpredictable new IP)
-Pokémon? For 3DS/Switch?
-Smash Bros. Switch (Sept. 2017)
BOLD PREDICTION:
-Kid Icarus by Retro Studios
POKEYMANZ
– Animal Crossing (Q1 2018)
– Odyssey (November)
– Xenoblade 2 (December)
– Metroid (2018)
– Kirby Switch (Q2 2018)
– FE16 (Q1 2018)
Shit, I want all of this.
Animal Crossing will likely come out in Spring/Summer, since that’s the best season for the game to start with :). I’m guessing May/June?
Pokemon Banana confirmed for this holidays
Plz
I’m not too particularly impressed with the idea of continuing support for the Nintendo 3DS, and would prefer to see more games being ported over to the Switch. Nonetheless, I’m excited for ARMS and Splatoon 2 and can’t wait to see what each brings to the table. Let’s hope for some substantial Pokemon news sometime in the near future!
I agree, but part of me thinks they’re going to hold onto the 3DS as long as they can.
Or even worse. Make a successor.
3DSS
More like an HDS or HDDS. But yeah, making a successor for better or worse would probably be in their best interest.
I can’t disagree more.
We’ve and this debate plenty of times and you and I both know where they stand. Lets just leave it at Nintendo’s openly said that its in their best interest right now to support both for multiple reasons, and I personally don’t see that changing in the future.
Fair, fair. I just had to add my two cents, I guess. 😛
No worries.
Hey Dicie 🙂 I feel the same way, but I understand that there needs to be a bit of a generational overlap to fully take advantage of their pre-existing market. Considering the Switch’s success, I think we’ll have plenty of games from all franchises over time. About Pokémon, I’m almost certain we’ll get an announcement early next month, like with ORAS. The timing just checks out: no Nintendo games, no Direct, no nothin’.
I feel like the next main series Pokemon games will still be on the 3DS. Although I do hope I’m wrong.
All of the games they’ve shown were already finished a long time ago, they’ve been sitting in a drawer this whole time and they want to finish everything up with bringing them to the West.
Best way to die in BotW:
Dropping a giant iron door on top of yourself
Even worse: opening one door and getting smacked in the face by the other.
Best way to die: Lumber surfing with stasis.
If anybody cares I’m going to sleep
There’s no way they already sold out of yellow Joy-Cons on Amazon, is there? I see a listing but it’s not available yet.
not yet available

Yo BotW people…
What is this?
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/0d14809c475561239a51ebbd234cfe7f6948c15472d4edb5708867bcde91521c.jpg
That be a ancient orb platform, somewhere there’s a ancient orb you gotta find and lug back there
is it nearby?
you gots legs, eyes and half a brain, you figure it out
lol, fair enough
I think I know where you are actually, I haven’t gotten that orb yet.
It’s a sidequest, but I have no idea how I initiated it. It just sorta happened one day when I went back to Kakariko
Hey has anyone here ever played any games in the Spectrobes series? I loved those games, it sucks that the series is dead at this point.
i got a blister on my tongue
a bruise on my leg
and i’m totally lethargic
might as well go to bed
I do think it’s interesting that they are still continuing with the 3DS. Very neutral about it, so it doesn’t bother me as much. The Switch could’ve been a successor to the 3DS too, but it’s very different to see that the 6 year old handheld system is still going.
This does pretty much confirm the next Pokemon game is on the 3DS, which I’m somewhat happy about.
We’ve known that for a while though. Whether or not the Switch is a successor, they aren’t dropping the 3DS just yet. Mainly because it’d be really catastrophic if they suddenly discontinued support for both of their systems and the Switch didn’t sell well.
I was thinking they might drop it but additionally I believed it would continue.
Well if they do drop it, it won’t be this year for sure. I think they want to see how strong the sales are this year to see whether or not to drop it.
I bought the Sheika armor and OMG IT LOOKS SO RAD. I know it protects less but it looks so cool I don’t even care
have you been to Hateno Village yet, if you’re not satisfied with armor color you can dye it there
Yeah I saw that but I didnt have the materials for it

I’ll leave now
Atleast it was well DIRECTed
OKAY PEOPLE STARTED TO SPECULATE THE UNEXPECTED CHARACTER IN SONIC FORCES IS FUCKING BUBSY AND THE SILHOUETTE LOOKS JUST LIKE HIM WTF!!
I guessed that but thought for sure I was seeing things. I wasn’t.
WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WTF THIS HAD POTENTIAL
1. Its not likely him.
2. Why would it matter if it was him. Bubsy’s a good character and in the right hands could make for some good game-play. Probably something like Knuckles back in Adventure.
Simple it’s BUBSY
But it’ll be beautiful
No it didn’t
I mean, what could possibly go wrong
WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG!?
If Bubsy doesn’t appear in the game, we’ll riot
This will be the ultimate meme if its actually him
I will buy this game regardless of how bad it will be just for Bubsy
Sonic team has embraced memes before so whats stopping them now
Just make it happen Sega, I do care if the game ends up being bad, I just want Bubsy
YESH
I love this so much. I knew i wasn’t going crazy when i said it to my friend
Exactly XD
Anybody here?
