Can it be? Is it finally happening?
*starts crying* http://fdzeta.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/_118cae2c89f5feb076647770b9a45b1c_tumblr_nr1mhxtUNw1u0uy1eo1_500.png Does anybody know what specific time it is? Serebii doesn't list AM or PM, and I'm absolutely horrible with military time... used to know from my previous job, but forgot. :3 |

Aw man, looking at that tweet that announced the direct put the biggest smile on my face. It's finally happening.
Although part of me feels like the 5 minutes could just be them celebrating the franchise in a "Look at what's happened over the years!" sort of thing, but I'm really really really hoping it's finally time for an announcement. |

Just look what is going on in the Japanese official site
http://www.pokemon.co.jp/ Pretty huge. Most likely it's a very big game Quote:

I see no evidence of a new game, however I do see evidence of GO. All I know is FACTS: Pokèmon GO was announced and it's CLEARLY the next-step for Nintendo. They announced they'd get in the smartphone market and shortly after GO was announced. If you ask anyone "hey, what's the next Poèmon game from Nintendo??" the answer is "GO", not "they haven't announced a new game yet". |
Ok guys, Bulbapedia provided this helpful link on their Twitter feed for anybody wanting to know their local time for the Direct:
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Pokemon+Direct&iso=20160226T15&p1=136&am=5 Just click on it, and your converted time should automatically show up. Also yeah, this is without a doubt main series related. The last time they had a Pokemon Direct, X/Y was revealed in it. I missed that one live, so I'm gonna make sure that I watch this one(8 AM my time). |

They could actually throw in one or two extra spin-off trailers in it, actually, if they were all short enough. Unless they intend all 5 minutes to be dedicated to the reveal, in which case, wow, will there be a lot to analyze and speculate over! |

Why would Nintendo call us to watch a direct of a Smartphone game? |
I will be pissed off if it's a 7th Gen game. Because Gen 6 was one of the weakest made in my opinion.
I don't want to visit Kanto for a 5th time too, we got enough Kanto with Red/Blue/Green/Yellow, Gold/Silver/Crystal, FireRed/LeafGreen and HeartGold/SoulSilver. A sequel or a third game will fix most of the stuff XY missed. |

Considering every legendary is obtainable from gen6 mostly from ORAS.. |

I mean, yeah, I'll buy the upcoming game no matter what, and I'll be happy that we're finally getting a new game. But... Really, I'll just be so, so sad if they just drop Kalos the way it is. It's got so much potential, especially story-wise. It really wouldn't be hard after a two-year period to fine-tune the narrative and add in substantial gameplay content. And I'm also getting rather...bored with Kanto, to put it kindly. It doesn't help that whenever Johto is involved Kanto is an obligatory addition, but whenever they throw in Kanto, Johto isn't included. To put it bluntly: I think Kanto is the weakest region, and just having a "new story" with new Gym Leaders won't fix that. Every time we get Kanto, it's always the same but with prettier graphics, and it gets stale after so many trips there. I know it's the 20th anniversary and people want something all-new, but XY was supposed to be that "all-new, fresh experience," and I think it really deserves some proper fine-tuning. I think any sort of follow-up to Kalos (3rd version or sequels, if they feel it's truly appropriate, but as I've said before I'm still crossing my fingers for a 3rd version) would be appropriate for a 20th anniversary title, as long as it was really a full-fledged, enhanced experience. |
SO hyped about the direct! It's definitely a main series game announcement, the one we've all been waiting for for since the Zygarde/Ash Greninja forms were revealed. And hopefully it will finally put an end to the Gen 6/Gen 7 Magearna bickering, haha.
Z/Rainbow/Whatever here we come!!! :) |

Will, actually the next Pokemon game from Nintendo is Pokken Fighters... at least in terms of release dates. Then it's GO. Also, be careful, you're getting deeper into flame bait territory... |
Ok... I don't think we should be responding to @willprogresivo's posts anymore. I'm starting to think that they're a troll... the only posts they've made after joining this site a couple days ago have done nothing but bash people because of their speculation. I've reported them once already.

See? What did I tell you guys? Directs only come out on a weekday. I'm not sure how they're going to fit all new information regarding the Gen 1 VC releases, Pokken, Pokémon GO, Detective Pikachu, and the expected third version in under 5 minutes.

They'll likely focus on only one thing, rather than all those. Pokemon XY's Direct spent like the first nine of the eleven or so minutes talking about the history of Pokemon, and the last two on the games. Perhaps the first three will be a quick summary of the games, perhaps revisiting the special editions of the past (they ignored some of the third versions in the XY Direct, so now would be a good time to go over their additions to the franchise) and then announcing the latest special edition (if that's what we're getting). If we do get a release of 'Z' in June then I can see them announcing Gen VII before years end (Gen IV was announced two months after Emerald, Gen V was announced six months after HgSs, Gen VI was announced seven months after B2W2) or at the start of year 21. |
