>>45886707While we don't know what main series title(s) will be announced, there are only so many things that can be announced.
In no particular order:
"Master Collection"
>Easy and cheap to make, hardest thing to do is support trading.>Would likely only go up to Gen 3, due to dual screens GTS in Gens onwards>Would produce guaranteed profits even with poor sales.>Allows GF to literally shit something out to keep people interested while they work on something elseSinnoh Remakes
>Within fanbase expectations>Games are easier to make than a new generation due to already having an existing structure to build from.>Nostalgia for fans who started with gen 4, would bring some fans back, selling more switches>Would be a much more substantial stopgap to keep the fans occupied whilst GF work on the next generation.Let's Go Johto
>Hits the nostalgia button even harder, more likely to bring back old fans>Super child-friendly, so it could bring in new fans and sell more switches>GF could release peripherals akin to the poke ball plus in order to maximize profits>Limited roster would be acceptable and expected.New release with all previous regions
>Would excite the fanbase, bring back old fans>All regions already made, would all be in the same engine>No original content would be expectedGen 9
>Would provide the greatest profits, as new gens tend to outsell remakes>Pre release marketing >DLC expansion passes could be released to drive up profits further>Would excite the fanbase (not here)>New Pokemon would mean more merchandise, which would net more money for TPCi>Current anime appearing to end, as battling Leon in the World Championship is Ash's ultimate goal this series.It's impossible to know which one it will be until the day of the direct unless you're part of the press, who would know a few days in advance to have pre-written articles on the day (yes, this includes Joe). If we get a legit leak as we did with SM and LGPE, it'd be a miracle.
