I think it is too early for a full Pokemon Direct. They usually save those sorts of things for closer to release. I imagine at E3 we will get another trailer, probably some new Pokemon reveals and other information - maybe a confirmation of Pokemon Bank coming to Switch alongside or shortly after Sword and Shield.
Then a Pokemon Direct in October or early November, since most likely the game will be released in November.
My predictions anyway. Take it with a few kilos of salt.

Oh. I was under the impression there had been more Pokémon Directs, but looking at the list on Wikipedia, there's only been five. Announcement Directs for each generation, one extra for XY in September, and an E3 one in 2017 for UltraSunMoon, Pokken, and GoldSilver on 3DS VC.
Looks like whatever comes will be in the main E3 Direct, then. Unless there's a lot to give, though the closer to E3, the better, to keep it within that week.

@Gravitron@Morpheel Yeah, good old times. I don't like how they keen insisting on revealing 95% of the new Pokemon before the games are even out these days. Show us 10 or 20, that's more than enough.
@Morpheel I has no knowledge of gen 3 til I saw it on store shelves. I was 13 at the time so it was the short phase in my life where I was "too cool" for pokemon. Glad I got over that and now I'm a 28 yr old man who is eager like a little kid for new pokemon games.
I think it'll depend on whether there's spinoffs coming to Switch this year too. Not looking too likely though as most of the Pokemon spinoffs are on mobile nowadays.
@Gravitron this is basically the bible on how pokemon works for us 'little boys' 😂 I don't even have to feel ashamed anymore when I mention this on a date with another 30+ year old.
It would be nice seeing the cover art, for starters. Hopefully shieldomon will be a cool design, since I'll end up getting that version, despite my tradition of getting the blue-equivalent version.
We probs won’t see these games main gimmicks yet, I’m guessing. But talking about cover art, it’s be really cool if they just kept the Legendaries a mystery and not spoil them on the cover.
