I'm really glad I got the Geno essay done but the waiting game is going to be kind of agonizing. My friends' intel about a Direct the week of the 6th from like a month ago was right but, you know, it's Pokemon so the irony is kind of crippling. I think I've got knots in my shoulders the size of oranges... If Nintendo's ballsy enough to announce what I think they're going to announce in the Pokemon Direct, the wait for the General Direct is going to be pure torture...

I can just imagine the day that Geno finally becomes playable....
Most of us: "OH. MY. GOSH! Praise Sakurai, the day has finally come! Our dreams have come true!"
Fatman (nodding approvingly): "Yes.....finally I can rest and smile on a grateful universe."
Wynn: "What, no elbow cannons? Trash. Total trash. Might as well bring back the Mii costume. Ultimate is doomed. DOOMED, I say!"

What could they possibly announce in the Pokemon direct that would in any way affect the general direct? It would be weird for them to announce a general or smash direct within a Pokemon direct.

'Welcome to the Pokemon direct. Our newest plan: Pokemon DLC for Swish! That's right you can download all the Pokemon we brutally cut out of the game in order to make room for TOP animations and some other crap we promised shut up.
Oh, it's not a DLC package. You need to download each Pokemon individually, each costing $5. Evolutions sold separately. Shinies are an extra $7. In fact, just give us your bank accounts!'

I still think it will be January but my main worry about the 16th rumor is that Directs and Amiibo waves haven't happened in the same week yet according to this chart one of my contacts made:
Going off this chart, it suggests a Direct AFTER the Amiibo wave release and, I dunno guys, I might be a pile of dust by then...

So I think if the triple reveal does happen, the wait will be worth the while if one of the three is Geno.

It could, it would just be a break from the previous patterns. So not impossible.

It can still happen; I'm just pointing out that it hasn't yet, weirdly enough. Still, I follow a common tradition where I don't drink the entirety of January as a sort of "cleanse" and this is literally me right now learning the General Direct is still at least a week and a half away:

This statement confuses me - don't divulge anything that you can't or shouldn't, but why wouldn't they announce a Pokemon related item in a Pokemon direct? Seems odd to hold off a Pokemon announcement until after the dedicated direct that no one asked for.

No, no, it would still be Pokemon related. What I'm saying is if Nintendo knocks out those two remake rumors this early in the year, we're in for a hell of a time in 2020. Like I said, I personally wasn't expecting the remake announcements until E3 but this could very well be them given this came out of nowhere.

Ok, that makes a lot more sense. It's been thirteen years since Gen 4 and given the other remakes/reboots/revivals (the hore trinity, if you will) that you've hinted at, I could see this one being the first to be shown off, especially if it gives people a way to enjoy the Sword/Shield Pokemon in another region with a bigger pool of Pokemon to choose from.

Yes, because if you look back at any comment you'll see that I'm particularly picky on how playable characters are implemented. Jeezums, just because I don't certain things in Smash Bros doesn't mean hate everything.

I really want Meowth (stand-alone fighter) or Team Rocket (Meowth, Ekans, and Koffing as a team fighter). I just want Meowth. Period.

I'm just messing around. You don't have to take the satire literally. But for the record, what's your favorite thing about Ultimate?

It's common for us 'boomers' to feel old though. Like, I'm only 27 but suffer from rheumatoid arthritis. There's 60 year olds that can function physically better than I can. I haven't been able to walk, run or shag properly in years.You're not that old, Fatman, jeez...
God, I'm old. :[
It's the mileage, not the years you know.You're not that old, Fatman, jeez...

Lies. I'm 33 but I honestly don't feel much different from 30. I feel like my aging pretty much reached equilibrium around 27 though, to be fair. That was about the time my skin started to sparkle in the sun and I developed a taste for tomato juice....

Hey everyone!
First time ever posting on here, but I have been lurking on here pretty much since the Cacomallow leak happened back in November and like to read about recent potential stuff on here. I have always found video game speculation and smash speculation pretty interesting so I always read about it, but I figured now is a good time to enter the fray and see what happens with me.
There are many characters I usually champion and while Geno is not usually high on that list he does tend to fall under someone I want to see happen just to see other people freak out over him. Banjo was in a similar situation for me so I was obviously quite excited to see the internet implode on itself when that happened.
So boom here I am you're stuck with me now love you xoxo

Well rest easy, dear Fatman, because the Pokemon Direct is just Sword and Shield crap
For everyone getting their hopes up for the #PokemonDirect (stuff like Sinnoh remakes):

Welcome! Always a joy to see people support the idea of Geno being playable despite him not being on their list of most wanted. It's quite refreshing.

Oh, Oh, I would just LOVE to get some free DLC berries to make my Galar experience air tight! Or maybe they'll give us some INCREDIBLE new options! Like an on/off toggle for the experience share! My dreams are just so unbridled right now! /s

Since barely anyone can handle pessimistic or someone bad things about Smash Bros I guess I'll just list crap that I did like in Smash Bros Ultimate.
>Every single little touches the playable characters had were great. From Mario Side Special actually being used like a cape, Toad not being force to defend and part of Peach & Daisy's grab, Ganondorf Smash Attacks using swords, Mr. Game & Watch attacks being all reference to past games. The amount details that went into these characters elevates Smash Bros way higher than any other game. The fact the character are more facing towards the camera instead look left and right like the past games is amazing.
>There is a lot of fan feedback that makes Ultimate great. Stage Hazards turn off, Final Smash Meter, Saving Rule Set-Ups, Battlefield variations, a mode where 3 or 5 of your stocks are different characters, No Smash Tour, and the gameplay sped up is just the best.
>Over a hundred stages, what more can you say? They all look great.
>Spirit Battles are a pretty fun idea. Help with the single player content
>Music being defined by Stages instead of series instead exclusive to certain stages is great.
>Classic Mode has never been this fun before. Each character having their own unique take with a theme. I amazed what they come up with. It's a no brainer to have Ryu Classic Mode be all 1v1 Stamina Battle on Final Destination, but having Sonic fight Incineroar as a stand in for Zavok and Joker gaining new allies like Personas each time he wins. There's more motivations to go through all of Classic Mode when compare to the other games, which speaks volumes for it since you don't get anything out of completing them since Trophies are gone and you can get every single Fighter Spirit through the shop (also they're PNGs with no description, so it's less of a reward but doesn't change the fact that Classic Mode is fun).
>Echo Fighters. You took one of the most complained about characters from Smash 4 (Lucina & Dark Pit), gave them a PR spin and now people want to see more characters like that. The way Sakurai & his team phrase Echo Fighters and the context behind them is pure brilliance. The fact that the just stop after Ken annoys me because it can allow for some many more characters with less work. Dixie as Diddy, Otcoling as Inklings, Shadow as Sonic, Proto Man as Mega Man, Medusa as Palutena, Zack as Cloud, Dark Knight as Ike, Ms Pac-Man as Pac-Man, Jeanne as Bayonetta. The list goes on. People stated that Dark Samus as an Assist Trophy has more unique of a moveset when compare to her actually being playable, but I never seen anyone saying they wish she was still an Assist.
>Stage Morphing. Just a great fun idea.
>All but one Newcomer are great addition to Smash Bros. All but one.
>Smash Bros being played as a handheld feels pretty good. It's amazing having a game with that much stuff crammed into it and it still runs perfectly fine. I'm not much into the framerate and performance issues, I don't have that kind of eye, but it still great.
>And lastly, it's fun to play.
See, I love a lot of things about Smash Bros Ultimate. However I still gripes with a lot of decisions made and just can't bring myself to care about it's future based on how Sakurai ended things and where Smash Bros have been going. There's been highs and lows throughout all these announcements. When you lost like 30 characters that you wanted to see be playable you just get burned out of the news and just stop caring.
-Edit-
ROCK HOWARD AS TERRY BOGARD! There are soooooooooooooooo many Echo Fighter that could be made what wouldn't be hard to develop that the fact that they just drop the idea to just a few characters and keep making Mii Costumes sucks so much. They all don't need to be like Ken or Chrom, a lot can be like Daisy and nobody would mind.

I generally just tend to go with the flow for smash. I obviously have characters I want such as Doomslayer/Jill, but I find just accepting where this game takes you is the best way to enjoy it. Even characters that come off as less hype I tend to love eventually like Terry. I remember first hearing about him and being a bit underwhelmed but that went away pretty quickly. It is also why all this talk of Dragonborn has me a bit excited just because Skyrim is a big name and I feel they wouldn't be as hated as some people have said. Maybe I just like everything too much though? Haha

I was just about to post about this.
To be honest, I really think that one of these days is the Direct date. And this Tweet honestly softens the blow of the Pokemon JeBait today.
