Official Newcomer/DLC Speculation Discussion

[SMAASH! Puppy]

Reaaaaally hoping we get FP7 announced as well when we get the ARMS fighter at this point.

Oh that's just straight up not happening at this point.

 

[RileyXY1]

Also, they're not going to announce a new Smash character in a Pokemon direct, not even if it is a Pokemon character.

 

[Schnee117]

If this pokemon news isnt a sinnoh remake, I dont give no ****s

Prepare to not give a ****

 

[RileyXY1]

That's definitely not happening.

 

[MooMew64]

If they wait until June 26 or later to announce the delay, then I'll actually be pissed.

Given what's been going on in the world, it's hardly their fault. TBH if we get a delay this late in the month, it would come off to me as them really, REALLY trying to make the June deadline work but things just fell through the cracks.

The tweet says 11 minutes about the DLC so prepare for constipation.

The tweet says 11 minutes about the DLC so prepare for constipation.

It says "pokemon news" while not mentioning DLC.

I have no clue what you're getting the assumption it's purely Sword/Shield from the tweet here.

Mostly this stupid virus.

 

[Gribbo]

Pokemon directs have always been absurdly short so I don't think the length means anything.

They've never announced new games more than a year before their release, at least not in recent times.

Especially when it's already been confirmed by TPC that it isn't exclusively about SwSh DLC.

I could see them announcing spinoffs here.

I didn't actually know they(TPC) tweeted, but it was clear it was a general direct... like it says on the tweet. XD

I think I saw Serebii mention that TPC said it was more general news.

Chill out.

I AM CHIIIIIIILLLL!!!!

It would come off to me as being too heavily secretive. If they were running far behind then they either should tell us now, or should have told us at the start of the month so that we know that a delay could happen rather than just say nothing for the entire month and then be like "whoops! Sorry we're gonna have to delay at the last second".

I didn't actually know they(TPC) tweeted, but it was clear it was a general direct... like it says on the tweet. XD

No it said DLC only so if you got your news here,

Serebii Update: Pokémon to hold a Pokémon Presents for 11 minutes of Sword & Shield Expansion Pass details at 13:00 UTC tomorrow.

"The new fighter can extend their arms"

*Pokemon Direct announced*

I think its obvious our fighter is going to be Breloom!!

 

[Neverx]

Who was asking for more Pokemon news lmao, I get that it doesn't impact another announcement being made but it really feels light on nintendo and smash news and I don't think anyone was clamoring for more Pokemon news especially with the DLC launching this week.

They need to remind people to spend those $$$ on the upcoming DLC!

And it's getting a lot of us worried that they are going to delay FP6.

 

[MooMew64]

As someone who loved SwSh, I'm more than happy to hear more about it personally. Don't plan on purchasing this DLC immediately as I currently lack the time for it, but I'm looking forward to playing it hopefully soon. And hey, it's fun game news, so I'm content.

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

They just did. Like, a day or two ago. I know Gamefreak thinks we have super low attention spans but this is ridiculous. lol

I'm waiting to see if it's just a single map that's not really all that interesting with a side plot involving Cubfu that takes 2 minutes to complete or not.

*Begins to chant EVO Online. While prepping in case the wildest of wildcards actually happen.*

We're not getting any sort of reveal at EVO unless the character is from a traditional fighting game.

 

[Heoj]

something like poke park or ranger would be earth shattering level hype, but its probs just gonna be swsh dlc with like pokemon sleep and MAYBE the detective pikachu game

We might also get some information about the possibility of adding direct compatibility with GO to Home.

 

[RouffWestie]

Ignore Diamond & Pearl remakes. I think we're overdue for a Pokemon Puzzle League remake.
Gimme that and I'll never ask for anything again.

 

[Jerry98]

Too soon for Sinnoh remakes!

It’ll happen... as a proper Panel de Pon title with Lip.

Gee, I miss Pokepark. That game did not have any right to be as fun as it was.

Ya know, I'd actually be down for a Poké Park game.

Too soon for Sinnoh remakes!

I don't know about that but I certainly don't want my nostalgic Pokémon Black 2 remakes in 2023 so I'm glad they calmed down on the remakes. Really don't need the industry calling me old right now.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Smash Fans: We want the ARMS rep.
Nintendo: Here's more Pokemon content instead. Also here's an rabbit jump rope game while we're at it as well.

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

Gee, I miss Pokepark. That game did not have any right to be as fun as it was.

I believe it's also the first occurrence of Majikarp not being water locked, and instead going about its daily life by flopping about on land. That will never not be funny to me.

 

[Evil Trapezium]

If they don't announce a Pokemon XD remake then I'm not interested.

 

[ROBnWatch]

Pokè Park or something like Battle Revolution would actually be pretty neat, no lie.

 

[Schnee117]

No one's ready for Miror B in HD

 

[Garteam]

On the bright side, there's exactly 2 weeks left of days in June. So (assuming there's no delays) the window of possible release dates is getting smaller and smaller. Something is going to happen soonish.

Yo the streamer SirLionHart would love that. He is a sucker for Pokemon Puzzle League

They wouldn't do a Pokémon Battle Revolution. Everyone would face palm because the animations are better.

I played it when I was young, lol. I didn’t care how good/bad the game was I cared about “cool attack from cool Pokemon does lots of damage to bad guy”.

nOOO
