Well there was this one time I'm recalling in which they announced a Direct at the last minute.
True. Directs come any time. We don't see them on weekends though unless it's E3. So anytime between now and Friday could give us one if this was the plan.
Well guys... that link I posted earlier regarding NeoGAF? One of the moderators confirmed that the list was true:
https://m.neogaf.com/showpost.php?p=196291403&postcount=115
So yes, we are indeed getting a main series game that's a special 20th Anniversay Edition sometime this fall. And it came straight from the horse's mouth, in other words a Nintendo of America employee.
Which means I think the chances of hearing an announcement this weekend drastically went up.
No offense, but just because mods on neogaf back it, does not make this any more possible. There have been many times neogaf were wrong. Especially with the last smash game... Man all those "credible" people that were all wrong.
It's why you should still be hesitant of the site. Yes employees go there, but they don't leak legit info often.
Oh and again no offense but the mods are often terrible there. That site can literally ban you if they don't like you, or disagree with your opinion. It's pretty stupid tbh.
It's still possible that some of those games on the list are fakes, it's happened before... but I think there's a chance it's true. I am still wondering if Rainbow is just a codename like the others or the real name...
This! We can't guarantee anything yet.
And watch as the new Pokemon game isn't called Rainbow but instead the expected third version, thus proving that NeoGAF is just as untrustworthy as GameFAQs and other gaming websites that have become nothing but rumor mills. I remember when NeoGAF also leaked Mewtwo, Ridley, Dixie Kong, and Chorus Men after Smash for 3DS was released in Japan and only Mewtwo got in, but as a DLC fighter. Ridley was a stage hazard, and Dixie Kong and Chorus Men never saw the light of day.
Couldn't agree more! I see this happening to.
Is there any events this Saturday for a possible reveal?
Yes, the Pokemon company is taking over the newly re built Nintendo Store in New York, for a big celebration for the 20th anniversary. The site says to check back on this day to, so it's likely we will get something.
And A side Note:
Another reason to cast doubt on this is the codenames.
The guy that made the video was just given this info. IF the games were all coming out with in the next few months, they would be way past this stage. Also since code names are so cryptic, it's unlikely that they would codename a pokemon game by color when that's what the series is known for.
Also the codenames for the other games make it to obvious for them.
Like Tour De City.
This was stated to be a big budget game. My guess is this is either some city simulator or a new animal crossing, which seems unlikely for a 3ds. But again we don't know... The code names are just strange.
