I really hope this info drought season is over soon, it almost have been 2 years since they talked about that core Pokemon Switch title.

This sounds like you're talking from a fan perspective to me, not from a non-fan perspective. If you showed me a trailer for a game that I wasn't a fan of, and it looked maybe kind of interesting to me so I went to look for something else on it and found nothing more than I already saw- I wouldn't keep following it, I would more likely forget about it until it ever came up again.
And non-fans don't follow theories for games- fans do. That is very much a fan thing.
Considering they’ve done this for the past two gens, yes?Releasing teasers early in February would give them more marketing time indeed. Question is, is it effective marketing time?

Because the games sold really well?Lol how is that proof that it's been effective?

They don't have to release trailers every week, though. And they really shouldn't.Releasing teasers early in February would give them more marketing time indeed. Question is, is it effective marketing time? Would they have the capacity to release new information constantly every week to keep people interested? Would doing so cause them to run out of things for actual in game surprises? If they were to drop something once per month only, people are most likely to forget. And look, most of the marketing would be for non-fans, not people who would already buy the games.

Seeing as XY and SM marketing has been effective so far
I think by effective I meant cost-effective and not effective as in does it work but ok. But well, I personally like it when companies shake things up.
Yes I agree which is why I am not proposing they scrape marketing altogether. I'm no expert on marketing but I think that the 2 months leading up to the release is a lot more important than the 10-3 months before release. Also, everyone knows about Pokemon at this point. I think what would be more helpful is to have more high impact marketing than a prolonged marketing campaign.The deal about marketing is that time is a valuable resource for it, they can't just let time go to waste before a game's release
Well, I'm pretty sure a Nintendo direct is more for the fans who are already looking to buy the games than the general public.it's the public attention that needs to be the priority
Kind reminder that SM had record breaking sales.

Has this been confirmed to be fake yet?
Oh and by the way; why would Gamefreak move away from the usual 9-10 months marketing-plan? There's something called hype, too. The past few releases have shown this as well.
