>>37174513Masuda thinks they announced SM far too early, with not having info to be able to release for so long after announcement. I'm more confident it'll be an april/may reveal. That we already know it actually exists and is planned to release by this time next year is more than we ever knew about an unrevealed Pokémon game to boot, which makes the likelihood of a barebones early announcement next year even less likely. (regardless though, they still won't start releasing info until about 6 months to go until launch).
