If I don't see my avatar legitimized as an in-game Evil Pikachu, I will be most unimpressed.

How about we get a new actual Pokemon game already, it hasn't been this long of a wait in the main series for a game in ages

 

[heartgold]

haha this has to be one the one.

Last time we got a Pokemon direct was the announcement of X and Y.

So 7th gen, or Pokemon Z. Don't forget we had that new Pokemon revealed, anything is possible.

I feel like it's going to be a special 20th anniversary game with new Pokemon.

 

[Emenaria]

Are we finally getting Pokémon Z?

 

[heartgold]

Well, something is up!

Pokemon twitter just posted, big news are coming.

dis gon b gud

Must be the most important 5min Direct ever.
Most, if not all, nintendo twitter accounts have posted about it.

Checklist:

• The last 4 characters in the 20 space character select screen of Pokken Tournament (only 16 have been revealed so far)
• Pokemon GO
• Pokemon Z/Rainbow

I hope they're not expecting the price of the RBY re-releases on the 3DS eShop to be the big news. GAME UK's Twitter feed dropped that turd-shaped bomb ages ago. No idea why they're twice the price of every other Gameboy game on the eShop, they're not even close to being worth £9 a pop IMHO. Pokemon or not, that's a rip off. I'll be sticking to the emulator on my DS Lite.

inb4 it's to celebrate the re-release of Pokemon Red and Blue and build up hype for Pokken.

 

[duwen]

It will just be "Happy Birthday Pokémon! ...now go buy VC red, blue, yellow!"

 

[gamefan5]

I'm more surprised that this will only last 5 minutes lmao.

 

[Queno138]

Given that the Direct is so short,

It'll probably just announce "Happy Pokemon 20th!" And say that breaking news would be in the next direct on ___ of March.

 

[MAXLEMPIRA]

where's said to last 5 minutes?

 

[Grim Ripper]

A Pokémon Direct is to be held this Friday. It is unknown what this will reveal but we will provide all the news straight away and will host the stream here. This Pokémon Direct is to last for 5 minutes.
The timing is as follows
UK: 15:00
Europe: 16:00
US (East Coast): 10:00
US (West Coast): 07:00
Japan: 00:00

Pokemon GO trailer? Only thing I could think would fit in 5 minutes, or else a pokemon Z trailer.

 

[Sakitoshi]

I'll need a bingo card to enjoy this.
But my guess is Pokemon go and the rest filler of Pokken.

Pokemon Z version, pokken tournament information, and a suprise reveal of either a official english translation of pokemon green for the original gameboy for the eshop or a suprise reveal of a official english translation of pokemon trading card game 2 for gameboy color on the eshop.
