I wasn't sure where else to post this, but, I have a spare a Dialga/Palkia code and it expires shortly (there could be a mere few minutes/hours left). Let me know if you've successfully used it. The code is compatible with all Gen VII games and can only be used once. The code is from Australia if that means anything, but I assume that it would be compatible with European copies as well, if not worldwide.
@Tsurii don't get your hopes up. Early morning Japan specific shows have never shown anything of significance when it comes to Pokémon. They sometimes show 5 more seconds of gameplay than what has been shown in a trailer, but as far as I recall they have never revealed new Pokémon, areas or mechanics.
Even if they have announced significant information previously it would be ludicrous to announce a highly anticipated Pokémon game for Switch on a children's show at 7 in the morning in Japan only.
We could of course get a direct tomorrow, and the show could just recap that info to relay it to kids who might not follow directs online.
You remember that exciting hour people spent watching some guy take a bath in a strangers house for some exciting Pokemon news for ORAS that did indeed confirm Groudon is in the game?

Given they said it's shocking and a new story I fully expect it to be distribution details for Zeraora, the new Electric type coming up in the upcoming movie called Pokemon: Everyone's Story.

You've also got time zones to deal with, a reveal on Thursday in some regions means a June reveal for others which is different from what the rumours say. So it seems rather likely that no announcement today means no reveal in May.

@Octane Seems like they’re taking the approach of that January Nintendo Direct “announcement” where once they were aware that people were hungry for a Direct announcement and thought it would come on a particular date due to rumors (which were correct in that case), they just teased it through tweets and pictures.
@Octane Nah I don’t think that’s insignificant. If they showed Eevee entering the Pokémon direct room (which they expected only eagle eyed fans to notice, which are likely the same fans eager for news on the Switch games) it’s implying the Direct is very soon.
Though how long does it take to film a direct? Granted I don’t expect this to be longer than around 10 minutes or so, but it may still take a while. If they filmed starting from Tuesday morning (when the tweet was sent out it was Tuesday morning in Japan) it could be that the Direct is coming Wednesday or Thursday.
@Tsurii It works the way I mentioned too. Let's say it was Thursday and take the normal Direct time of 11pm UK time for example. That would mean it would be June for a lot of Europe and all of Japan, Australia, New Zealand, etc.
@shadow-wolf Of course, but that's also assuming that the bipedal Eevee monstrosity is going to make an appearance during the Direct. They could've filmed it last week for all we know, but decided not to upload that photo until now. They could've taken the photo on a completely different day too. I don't think you should look too much into that, we simply don't know when that photo was taken, and provided a Direct is coming soon, when the Direct was filmed.
@Tsurii I’d wager it’d take more than an hour just to make sure everything is polished, but you’re right the speaking parts at least shouldn’t take more than a day.
@Octane That’s a good point. Just because they’re sending the picture now doesn’t mean they’re actually beginning to film the Direct — I don’t know why that didn’t come to me initially. All in all though I think it’s hinting at a Direct release this week. When the Direct eventually appears, I’d imagine it’d be on the level of the Sun and Moon trailer we got in May 2016, a good amount of info to know/confirm what the game is about but more info during Treehouse segments for E3.
@Octane Kind of a bold statement to make, right? I’m always afraid Game Freak looks at all of these rumors/leaks and decides to move their announcement date so that it looks like the rumors/leaks were incorrect.
