E3 just got a bit more exciting for Nintendo fans. The Pokémon Company's Japanese Twitter account has announced that Pokémon Sun and Moon will feature in the Nintendo Treehouse broadcast with new content, and there'll be a 'Pokémon Special' broadcast. Finally, there'll also be a Pokémon Go Q & A, which also looks set to be streamed online (it's confirmed for NicoVideo in Japan).
So, what are the dates and times? Details are below:
Nintendo Treehouse and Developer Broadcast - 14th June at 9am Pacific / noon Eastern / 5pm UK / 6pm CET
Now confirmed to include an initial segment showing new content in Pokémon Sun and Moon, with the day then dedicated to The Legend of Zelda on Wii U.
Pokémon Go Q & A - 15th June at 10am Pacific / 1pm Eastern / 6pm UK / 7pm CET
Will kick off a second day of Nintendo Treehouse coverage.
E3 2016 Pokémon Special - 16th June at 7am Pacific / 10am Eastern / 3pm UK / 4pm CET
An exciting development, this will be focused entirely on Pokémon, though beyond that details are slim.
So there you have it, some extra E3 goodness to look forward to. Naturally we'll be live streaming and blogging all of the action as it goes down; on a scale of 1 to 10, how excited are you?

Finally something other than Zelda for Nintendo at E3, redeems them and their presence a bit.
Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
I KNEW E3 WASNT ONLY GONNA BE ZELDA! I KNEW IT ALL ALONG! THEY PLAYED US LOL
E3 has been saved!
E3 is no longer doomed!
And The Pokemon Company comes to Nintendo's rescue. Again.
Yay!
@NintyFan The hype for these two games, and then Pokemon Go alone, already promise an INCREDIBLE E3
This is pretty much confirmation we've got a somewhat normal E3 on our hands. The only real difference being Zelda Treehouse Live replacing the digital event.
Hey look, guys, Nintendo is showing another game at E3! The show is totally saved now! R...right?
@MitchVogel Stuff like Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE and Monster Hunter Generations is also confirmed!
I'm waiting for third-party presence like Atlus, Atlus, and more Atlus on Nintendo E3.
Oh, thank God! Zelda is nice, but if it'd REALLY be disappointing if it was the only thing there. Now let's just hope that there's some unannounced games revealed also. Maybe a couple more 3ds games, or an hd remaster of a Gamecube game or something for the Wii U, because the current lineup of Nintendo releases for it this year is, in a word, disappointing.
GameXplain confirmed an upcoming Wii U and 3DS games stream for June 15th.
Hooray! There may be even more surprises on the day, we'll just have to wait and find out!
@Kris_Gunn they didn't. They only have been talking about the first day of e3. Everyone forgot there are three days. I suppose day three may have something else.
@IceClimbers You said yesterday that you were surprised people were hoping for more at Nintendo's E3 and that Zelda U would be the only thing at E3. Anything to say now?
Pokemon and Zelda are nice, but I want more. I'd like to see some progress on Color Splash (don't kill me plz).
Ah well, at least people can col their jets a touch now. They were never going to have 'just Zelda' at the show.
Give me my BETA ALREADY!!! And also would like a release date for Go as well😅
Cool.
Hey, I was wondering if someone could help me here? I want to watch the Zelda U live stream from the beginning from 5PM, but I don't get back home from college until 5:20. Any ideas?
Also, any idea how long it will be?
Are these going to be live streamed
Yay, something other than Zelda. Now all we need to do is hope Nintendo announces at least one new game!
@Grumblevolcano Games that have been out for half a year in Japan? Games that people who were interested enough to sit down and watch footage of would would've already done so months ago?
The lack of a presentation or any real announcements is the killer of Nintendo's E3 here.
@CrazedCavalier Your comment is only valid if you understand Japanese. Also you're wrong about no real announcements because there will obviously be some during Treehouse Live unless there's a Direct next week.
How much do you wanna bet that the new content shown in the Treehouse stream will be the content shown in CoroCoro a couple days before?
@Vee_Flames Haha I'm just glad I was wrong!
Not bad
Pokemon NX at POkemon Special!
@ThomasBW84 Have you seen the E3 Live event Pokemon Symphonic Evolutions? June 14th, full orchestra playing.

@Peace-Boy Not sure how long it will be, but both youtube and twitch archive streams so you can watch stuff that you missed, so im pretty sure nintendo will make use of that.
@Natethegreat225 So you're saying I could start watching it from when I come back then watch the part I missed after?
Y'know, that seems to be the only viable solution to my problem. Thanks!
@MitchVogel So four games in total being featured at E3, with two of them being extremely hype-worthy games.
@MitchVogel where is the live stream for the pokemon special
@andrew20 This might be it. http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv264397908?ref=top&zroute=index&kind=top_onair&row=1
It seems to be a NicoNico thing only (and awkwardly, only in Japanese, by the looks of it).
EDIT: As suspected by many people, the stream is basically a recap of the past few days events for Japanese viewers (which makes some sense, as the rest of E3 was aimed at an English speaking audience). So, lots of yesterday's interviews with the English translations edited out, and there are a couple of chaps on chairs discussing talking things over. They stated at the beginning that there would be no information, so I think the stream is probably of limited appeal for viewers outside Japan.
