How many time has passed since they announced Gen VIII? Compared to this, that would be a blessing. At least we would have something concrete to talk about.

It's not much though. That wouldn't really answer the burning questions people have about this game. What does it look like? How good are the graphics? How open is the overworld? We need a full trailer, like XY's reveal trailer and SM's first trailer in May, to really get enough to go on. I don't mind them disappearing for a few months after the announcement as long as it's more like XY, where we get a full trailer giving us an idea of what the game is like. SM just giving us titles and concept art was indeed maddening.

SM just giving us blank box art was the worst. XD

Gawd even the news for Sun and Moon was a joke.

You mean the time when they almost killed RileyXY1? Yeah... that was not a high point in this community. I kinda agree with what they said, but it went overboard.

@Oriden I forgot they did that. It's like the graphic version of what they did last year.

I didn't join until May 26th, 2016, well after that dry spell was over.
 
Did we get any idea of what the May Banpresto Listings were or what we could have expected before getting taken down ?
 
The thing with ruffledrowlit and the Pokemon Twitter starter countdown is wrong. If they do all starters and their evolutions there is a total of 63. 9x7=63
And bulbasaur and ivysaur were the same day. This means it would end on saint Patrick's day, which honestly would be a very weird coincidence for all those UK theories just saying

Oh please not the UK thing again... St. Patrick's Day is an Irish holiday. XP

Nice catch on the numbers, though.

It's not a good idea to say that Ireland is part of the UK.
 
You know what I mean. It is part of the British isles and would be represented in a game that depicts any part of them.

Sure gives the feeling that we're approaching the League arc for Alola soon. Everything's definitely starting to wrap up for Gen 7.

Leagues are also a common time for new pokemon to be revealed in the anime.

since when does Pokemon care about real world politics? If you were making a game and basing the region on the British isles are you really going to just cut out the second major island? Wouldn't it be the British isle then? I think you're missing the point of it being based on the region and are way too caught up in the semantics

Honestly, they would probably just take a section of the UK much like they only took a tiny piece of New York to make Unova. Britain and Ireland are such distinct countries, it wouldn't do them justice to just toss them together like they're entirely the same thing.
