>>38092666That was a special case, but it's clear that this reveal was way more like the Gen 6 announcement than the Gen 7 one. The Gen 7 one gave us NOTHING really. Just concept art and the back of Pikipek's head which people tried to figure out the rest from (pic related).
I went back and made a text file with all the video dates for the past two gen hype cycles.

I agree that it's more likely May we'll be getting a new trailer, but we could get something in April about the legendaries that's lacking info. Like maybe reveal some legendary wolf but not explain how it ties to Sword and Shield just yet.
