Semiclickbaity title, but I realized that one of the biggest things people are pointing to for Gen 8 reveal on Pokemon Day may be a misunderstanding based on region. Pokemon's been releasing a video focusing on a region once a day for the last few days, with the latest region of Alola being set to air the day before Pokemon Day, leading Pokemon Day to be the place to reveal the region for Gen 8, right? Wrong, in Japan time, the regions synch up so that Explore Alola will be posted on 2/27 in their time, which is 2/26 in our time. We know Game Freak uses Japan time as a basis for Pokemon Day, because Sun and Moon were revealed on the 26th in America, which was the 27th in Japan.
