>and not in general Nintendo DirectsORAS was the only non-new-gen main series game since Nintendo Directs became a thing and it wasn't announced in a Direct of any kind, Pokemon or Nintendo. Even if a single data point made a pattern (it doesn't), the pattern would be the exact opposite of what you're arguing, and the next game would more likely be announced with a standalone trailer and not in a Nintendo Direct. How many Nintendo Directs did you idiots swear up and down would announce Z?
