i dont really follow "hype seasons," but is it normal for us to know so little about the game this close to release? We are like just about 3 months away.

A panda?
He linked the site that doesn't have the panda you idiot. Can't even bait correctly

No it's not. I'm actually surprise we haven't got news in July.
>but is it normal for us to know so little about the game this close to release
Leaks don't typically exist until a month beforehand when certain reviewers get a copy and some retailers get shipments.
Everything beforehand is "insider knowledge" or real leaks put out by accident, which gets more and more uncommon as the gens go by.
They'll shit out tons in the last month. Game just needs to be in parents minds for Black Friday and Christmas.
What if they delay them because that bit off more than they could chew
On one hand I really hope they delay it to fix everything (because you know stuff will be broken and features cut).
On the other hand I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have fixed anything even if they delayed it.
4 months and 2 days away*

Well, the devs are extra precautious about this gen after what happened last time. Sword/Shield's new mons got leaked way before schedule and somebody streamed the whole game.
I think Gamefreak even mentioned that they wanted to sue and take that leaker to court because he damaged their ability to market that game by spoiling all the surprises. They probably had trailers and stuff planned to showcase the new mons, but those plans had to be shelved after everything got leaked.
It's their own fault. They're were drip feeding SWSH news at a snail's pace too. Remember when we had to look at an all day stream of literally nothing to get slight looks at Impidimp and Galarian Ponyta?
And even then we at least knew for a fact what the name of region was and the central gimmick of the game.
Oldgay here. No it's not normal. We used to get monthly news in every games, and even bi-weekly news on the official channel with sun and moon. It's also the first time that we don't know about the region name and main gimmick that far into the game reveal.
It's probably a new advertisement strategy
The bold new "we're gonna tell you literally nothing, and you're still gonna buy it" strategy
Also it's kinda funny we literally know more about Bayonetta 3 than the new Pokemon game now
they're probably only doing it to save on advertising budget kek
They should just post one small trailer each week, everyone is thirsty for news and they haven't even shown any real gameplay. I'm not interested in the games as of right now, i need to see more, i bet it is the case for a lot of people.
Yes, we usually get one news reel per month
We no longer have Corocoro, sweetie
Corocoro is still running though
it doesn't even have to come from corocoro anon
internet hype just tricks your time, but if you look at the dates of news circa gen 8 it's like that. hell even gen 7
iirc they slowed down reveals after Gen 7 basically gave literally everything people cared about away so there was nothing to really discover. Gen 8 had a lot less news to compensate iirc but this is a new low.
And now it's the opposite problem where we know literally nothing besides the barest of basic infomation
They learned their lesson with Gen 7 when they revealed almost everything and once the game came out there was absolutely no surprise.
I'm feeling like the game is gonna be shit.... Seems like there's not much to show....
I miss the silhouettes, at least it was fun speculation without revealing too much at once.
Instead we get broken english riddles sigh.
I'm tired of riddles and I'm tired of "leaks", I just want a real trailer.
Same here my friend… Wish they would show more about the area
I honestly thought that was Isle Delphino from the thumbnail.
first fricking thing i thought when i watched the reveal trailer as well, fellow sunshine chad
They probably delayed the trailer because of Abe's assassination. He was buried on Tuesday so hopefully something this week
Nah, they have to delay the whole game to remove the Pokemon Peace Church plotline.
Bizarrely, if you go by the recent leaks, there is a lot to actually tease. They just seems to have adopted fully the new Nintendo method of late stage advertising, combined with Pokemon Company autism.
Companies are weird in that their main method of fixing an issue is to go in the exact opposite direction. They showed off way to much for Gen 7, so now they are showing off as little as possible.
Four months away.
Pre release cycles typically start about 5 months prior to release and we usually get at least one major news reveal per month.
For SV, we got the news in June but we did not get anything in July yet.
Everything was typical until this month.
Political assassination delayed it
