As someone who works in TPCi (not in any high ranking position but I still get informed of plans) we have not seen any plans for a Pokemon Direct any time in the next few weeks and certainly not Pokemon Day. As far as I know there will be a new Detective Pikachu trailer and the Mewtwo Striked Back Evolution trailer release (for Japan and International). That's really it as far as 'news' is concerned. Employees lower down in the company only get told of plans a month or so in advance, our next meeting is scheduled for the beginning of March which will cover from around March 18 onward. As I frequent /vp/ in my spare time and see all this stuff about Gen 8 countdowns and Pokemon Direct on the 27th I thought I should probably inform you guys to bring down the expectations. So there is no Gen 8 announcement coming for at the very least a couple more weeks. Sorry guys
