And Urshifu isn't even the only way they could get Pokebucks if they so desire. While they'd never go for Skiploom regardless of how many gens are on the table, the newest batch of fully evolved starters/Toxitricity/Urshifu aren't the only notable Pokemon in existence that still aren't playable.
I am not expecting something E3 related. Just a Direct in general, whenever that is.
More minis and small first party showcases are what I'm personally expecting. I just don't see us getting a traditional 30+minute Direct right now when they seem pretty keen to tweet out news and do mini showcases. Obviously I could be wrong, but none of what they're doing right now really indicates they have a huge plethora of stuff to show.
I understand, hence the “whenever that is” part, which could be anytime, and that would be fine.More minis and small first party showcases are what I'm personally expecting.

If you're talking about the recent Partner Showcase, nah, I don't think there was leak bait. I think they heard there was a presentation coming up and, like us, assumed it was this big thing because "other companies are doing big things, so surely Nintendo will too". They were just as surprised as we were about what we got.
I meant leakbait as in leakers having sources saying it was an actual Direct when it was an Nintendo Partners Showcase Direct Mini. Some of the same leakers were confused why it was a Mini Direct even, if I recall correctly. Not many said it was a Mini Direct, if any.
There's no way to know for sure. My best guess is "no", though, because Nintendo doesn't really have anything to gain by getting leakers to hype people up for something big, only to be let down when the final product is much more low-key.
My guess is not yes; but I do think I remember that presentation was thought to be a Direct. Plus, since this was supposed to be a big presentation was false in the end as the Mini Direct was not big. Even if it is episodic, all of I was not on the same date, but separate, making it less big on the date it embassy’s revealed.
I don't think Nintendo cares so much about fan hype as much as they do about discrediting leakers and preventing them from gaining access to internal information.
With how much Nintendo hates their stuff being touched from people who aren't themselves, I could see this, yeah. But I'm still not entirely convinced that what happened was because of leak bait, and TBH we'll probably never know for sure.
Nevel? Nononono. No way Nevel happens. Why would they add Nevel when they could add Gibby and he'd be a way better addition.
Perhaps not. Perhaps now. What do we know? Still, whatever happened, either way, I guess Nintendo did not like the idea of others getting their hands on secret information from them. I wouldn't be surprised if they did something about it.With how much Nintendo hates their stuff being touched from people who aren't themselves, I could see this, yeah.

And that "something" probably involved ninjas, based on what I heard...
You mean those Nintendo Ninjas?
It sounds like they're low key admitting they don't know anything.
That what I am guessing. They probably are trying to hide that they know nothing.
They're probably gonna be a once a month thing if anything, so I wouldn't expect anything this week. Probably sometime next month, maybe in about 3 or so more weeks.
No kidding, if last Sunday getting nothing is anything to go by. I am not getting my hopes up.
Oh... you are approaching me?
Nightmare bet? So, here we go. Basing this on how the fanbase in general would react:
That honestly sounds like a good solution here - if Nintendo does do this it gives them more time to prepare any trailers and other material that they might want to show off.
To be honest at least big shovelware announcements give us something to talk about. I'd rather have another abysmal partner showcase than radio silence til September. At least we get some John Cena memes or whatever.
Why are you so against Chris Evans in a sweater?
Reimu, for sure. Aside from being my most wanted, she has a lot of history behind her and is a lot less known in the West, which gives me a fair bit to argue about.
Wouldn't bug me, I did like the fact that the Switch is getting some Shin Megami Tensei games in the last Partner Showcase.
K.K: You will pay for what you've done!
Bonus points if Adachi comes with his full screen supers
Because it's not Chris Evans shirtless?
Rimshot
Nah...I think a Metroid Fusion boss
I'm Thinking Paper Mario Spirits
If it's a Spirit, I'm half-expecting it to take out a major request. Actually, I'm expecting a massacre with at least one of the Mii reveals. Bonus points if it's with a hotly-requested character, like Isaac or Dante-We won, but at what cost?
Every time Tuesday rolls around and a new Spirit Event looms on the horizon, I fear that Sakurai will finally decide to put Ace Attorney on the chopping block.
My bet is on Paper Mario if it's a spirit event.
