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.
This direct is Overhated imo
It’s shit…
What were you expecting? E3 is in a month and the 3DS is probably on its last few years
I was expecting to see at least one game that was decent
Opinions exist
What game was good
Spla2n?
Everyone I know is complaining cause of how similar it is to the old one
That’s nice ?
That doesn’t mean it’s bad. If it isn’t broken don’t fix it.
That being said, the new mode looks like trash.
Arms
Yes
RPG maker seemed decent
I would be interested if it was on Switch
Ok but what did you expect then…? It seemed just like any other Direct to me tbh; I’m normally not a fan of any of the games shown, so they’re usually pretty uninteresting.
Something
Exactly. It made more interested in ARMS
It made me less interested in it lol
I felt like it didn’t even deliver on the games it featured
Joy Cons should be renamed to Joy Sins. It sounds better.
(Shows Splatoon 2)
Okay we got one last game we know you will love
(Shows Splatoon 2)
*hopes and dreams destroyed*
Exactly
But they showed Splatoon 1 and then 2?
They did?
yea
Huh
I actually really liked the splatoon segment, the PowerPoint was fucking adorable and I adore PvE
Splatoon on July 21 further reinforces my theory that Smash Bros. comes out in August/September.
You lost your only leg to stand on though
When will they reveal pokemon
May or e3
Worth it for Psychic Specters!
Now 1 game to look forward to
It’s your own fault if you overhyped the direct fight before but reveal season I’m sorry not sorry ?
I loved the direct
*right
*big reveal
I wasnt even overhyped. I wasnt hyped at all
And you’re still disappointed, which is fair. I just don’t get the people who set themselves up for itb
Directs don’t usually reveal big things in my experience
That’s unfair. I was barely hyped and I’m still dissapointed.
Then that’s fair enough, I’m not saying ‘if it’s disappointing it’s your fault shit lord’, I’m saying that if you overhyped it’s your fault, which you said yourself you didn’t do 🙂
Sorry, I’m being too defensive lol
Nah, I’m just glad E3 is coming up and I wasn’t expecting any new rebelas
Same! I’m so excited for E3, it’ll hopefully be good!
It could be an hour of Xenoblade 2 and I’d say Nintendo won E3
XC2 and a bit of Pokemon/Mario/Zelda/fanbait series and we’ll be good
Optimally, XC2, Animal Crossing Switch, and Pokemon.
I honestly dont remember a good direct since the Smash bros one..
Tbf its in the name, they’re not in depth unless they center on one game, they’re very direct
The only interest I have in the direct if they’ll do something special for Kirby’s 25th anniversary. Those two eshop games are probably only a small bit of it but they have to do something big like a new Kirby game.
Its already over
But they teased a later Kirby project?
But it’s coming for the 3ds and not the Switch :<
He’s talking in future about the direct
I’m a she…
Sorry
*patpat* That’s ok I forgive you
Yeah yeah I already watched it. I’m just saying that was the only thing I was interested in the direct
Gonna have to change the site layout, Charizard took the lead lol
Cri
How long until we’ll see porn with the ramen girl from ARMS?
34 seconds
Too much
How long is a hard noodle?
tbf its the best thing thats coming out of this game -.-
This direct kinda scared me about ARMS. I was afraid the game would be short on content so I was looking forward to getting new modes or something but NOPE. 1 new character and a match.
Tbf the arm elements and mix and match aspects are interesting, and they could just not want to spoil?
That’s true, but they need to show enough to sell the game to people as well as justifying the price.

what is this anime trash on the thumbnail
Chinese cartoon garbage
Tim Burtons Big Eyes spinoff rubbish
XATU WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST WATCH
I’M UNCOMFORTABLE
Dafuq is this….
I want a true CTF mode for Splatoon
Virtual Console launch in May and Pokemon Switch announcement in May. I’d be totally down for that tbh, thanks Allah

Whoa… found it on 4chan. gen 7.5?
What are they?
Fake :p
Honestly….We need a banana mon lol
Food Type confirmed…
When i was little i wanted a food type…
A banana mon would probably be Grass type 😛
I believe it
I don’t
No they’re real trust me
I’m with you on this
😀
Just like the PD one 😉
Yea
Well not to get your hopes up but remember these fakes?

That looks like a ghost type and we know that rowlet in no way would evolve into a ghost. GG leakers
Those I don’t believe
They look too fake
:p
Also it looks ugly
“Anime production art”. I need to see some other references to know for sure.
Well there was the starters but they are fully coloured and everything…
This thing is so cute omg
The parapet looks like urs.
Very possible indeed hmm
Omg I actually hate you the more I look at it the more I want it to be real
It’s an Alolan Pikachu
Bannachu confirmed
Regardless if they r fake or not they look cool…….I like them.
I want it to be real.

This guy knows what he’s doing.

Trolololololololol
Also: the German translation of “stars” is “sterne”…
This feels like when he was constantly posting picture of the sun rise and moon. The entire time it just seemed so normal and he was just sharing his life lol
Loool imagine not thinking he tweeted that without ulterior motive, Man knows damn well about the Stars rumours going around and he knows they’re true. Subtlely giving us hints
Well, Junichi hinted at SM via Twitter before so this may be a hint :0
The heck does that mean
He’s saying the Pokemon stars (him and I think Ohmori being the stars) are coming to Switzerland. But like ShinyXatu said “stars” in German is actually “sterne” so it’s kind of obvious he’s teasing lol
Oh lol
What did this end up being?
https://twitter.com/junichi_masuda/status/703842630107463681?lang=en
Sounds like maybe a UB cry? Sounds likea noise something Xurkitree would make
Sounds like something that melded into the UB battle theme.

Notice the similarities: black and white with the rectangular box in the corner.
Omg they are so similar :O
There’s also a separation between the eyes and the rest of the image.
DON’T GO TOYING WITH MY HEART BOI
You saying this is real fam?
If it’s fake, it’s very very good. I’m going to take the same position I did with the final starter leaks of last year and say that it’s real.
That’s a bold statement. But I suppose in the end of last year you were entirely right about the starters lol
I’m MUCH more cautious about this one than those, but from what I’m seeing here it is very possible.
OMG hype
So for pure shits and giggles, give banana buddy a type?
Grass/Food/Fake
Grass/Normal
Grass/Electric.
Why electric? 😮
Potassium is conductive?
Is it? Well holy moly…
I’m not sure, it’s next to Pikachu and bananas are yellow…? Something like that.
It does kinda look like a Pika clone… Guess even half Gens need Pika clones!
Duh bananas are yellow, so is electricity
Steel/Fairy
Potassium is in bananas and is a metal
Fairies and nature spirits such as Ghillie Dhu and the various types of nymphs live in plant life, bananas are plants
I could see if actually happening XD
LOGIC
That’s fairy possible
Grass/Bug or Grass/Fairy 😡
Don’t hate, but Ground/Bug?
*hate intensifies*
Actually not a bad guess tbh, I’m really expecting Bug
Yeah, plus I think it might be a cocoon form for a big evo line
Meant to say bug :p
Yeah that makes sense
Big bug evo line :p
Fairy/poison. Developed toxins over time so other pokemon wouldn’t eat it.
BOOIII
Bug
Even if it’s fake this thing is too cute not to use as a theme
The Prof pic could be better though
Yeah, I’m praying someone finds it cute and makes art I could use XD
If I could only draw digitally
The Quickest person here to make fanart of the banana buddy wins satisfaction
Also stealing it as an avi
And honor and Glory
BB should replace Sewaddle
Feel like they’d either be friends or predator/prey
*GRABS TABLET*
Alright, gotta go fast so I ca-
(Realizes that tablet is at home)
…shit
You know… Paper and Pencils still exist
Paper and pencil, along with other traditional/physical/whatever media is limited and based off of your own resources and gathering them and making sure they’re stocked, unlike the accessibility and convenience of digital drawing
I know. But you can take a tissue from McDonalds and buy a pen for pennys
That effects the quality of your art work tho
Although drawing programs can be hella expensive and you have to pay for them even when you’re not immediately using them, unlike physical media
They do.. but I don’t have access to that either at the moment…
About that Masuda tweet, I just noticed that the title of the article he links to says “Pokemon-Stars”. So I’d say to forget about that for now.
I just realized something– THIS is the new direct format we were promised a year a half ago.
Its a fairly good format. As for the direct itself, it was pretty good having pretty much everything you would want to know pre-E3.
Except the actual E3 plans
Well we shouldn’t know what their E3 plans are at this point. Generally you don’t find that stuff out until about a month before or so. As for game content we know it’ll be a focus on at least what they have planned for the rest of the switches first physical year. So Mario, splatoon story mode, what ever turns out to be the single player mode of arms, Xenoblade 2, ect.
ugh, it sucks that it isn’t even out until after E3
Patience my friend. All things worth enjoying come in time. We’re getting Splatoon 2 much sooner then a lot of people guessed, we’re getting mario this year. We have a small chance of Xenoblade this year. Heck we might get a pokemon game this year, or not. Who knows.
1. It’s just frustrating that the first AAA title that is completely exclusive to Switch isn’t even coming for over 2 months.
2. I know that people keep saying that XC2 will be delayed because of X, but wow people have no faith. They keep asserting how it’ll be 2017, but I seem to be the only one who thinks it will launch then. I know they have more legs to stand on but I’m just surprised how little faith people how in Monolith.
1. It is what it is. Can’t really complain about it. This is kinda normal for consoles now. Most exclusive games come 6-12 months after its launch with anything early usually being a glorified tech demo.
2. I have hopes that they’ll make their deadline and I do think its honestly possible. Its just that its better to expect the worst and be pleased when proven wrong, then to expect the best and be disappointed when things don’t work out.
Man cant wait until the next Pkmn game is announced and leak season is back. Even though 80% is always fake, I absolutely LOVE those periods in my life lol. The speculation fires me up so much
They’re great
Same! Although I think I might switch it up a bit and fly off late pre-release, save myself from spoilers
Like a “Switch” Pokémon XD
The just gave details about the next pikmin game…don’t be greedy
ffs
I love them as well, but let’s not forget how a bunch of people were complaining about them in the months leading up to SM. Especially the riddler, the actual fun one.
Pff, there was no fun riddler
