That title is so vague that the next Direct could be in 3017 and it still wouldn't be wrong.

Aw man I was hoping the next Pokeman editions would be Carboard and Plastic.

This is a great thread. I wasn't that hyped for E3 before but I am now.
Wait, so we can expect an announcement anytime soon, if it follows the previous pattern? :O
Nintendo America seldom delete any videos. Practically all Directs are still available.
Yeah, it's the strangest thing. I can only imagine something is happening soon.

Pokemon Z for 3DS, Pokemon Stars for Switch.

It might just have been set to private as opposed to deleted. I doubt they outright delete anything

Nintendo hasn't issued a press release since May 04. We are nearing a week since then. It's quite early (Eastern Time) still, so we shall see if anything happens today.
Sure. What I mean is its likely that the videos will probably go live again once their window for this announcement and spread of information is done
Hmm, what are the other cases they did something like this before a reveal?
Also, it caught my attention that Masuda seems to be less active on Twitter this last few days. He usually retweets a lot.

Is it? Isn't "no news" from a video game company the standard? Otherwise there'd be no need for hype because we'd get something new all the time.
Plus this wouldn't disprove Stars if we finished the week out with no appearance from it anyway.
why aren't you wearing any pants?
They make a nice hat. *points to head*
Both Nintendo America and Japan have pulled out Pokemon Sun&Moon direct videos from their channels!
They pulling out videos could be because new ones will be uploaded about the new games and they don't want to confuse people when they search for "Sun&Moon2" or "Sun&Moon Switch Ed.", so old results don't show up when looking for that title.
Wild guess. Speculation. Not happening.

Wut. Thats an obvious troll right?
What has Masuda's team been working on since Pokemon X and Y? That's since 2013, 4 years for a A team and nothing!
A port/sequal of Sun and Moon, the B team can take care of that within a year.
I can see gen 8 early as 2018, GreakFreak's A team has been very quiet...ofcourse busy with Pokemon Switch built from ground up.
So this is the train taking us to Couriway station...
Incidentally, the inside of that train is awesome

With this soundtrack, looks like it's going to be the Dark Souls of Pokemon games.

Where did they post this I can't see it?
It's somewhat strange, if it's 2019, their A team has taken quite a break. On the other hand it could be early to mid 2019 for gen 8th release then. They might reveal gen 8th around mid 2018.

Is it possible they were working on a scrapped Z for some of that time?
I'm sticking to my crazy idea of them releasing Stars Switch and D/P 3DS within a few months of each other.
Damn, that'd be a masterclass in giving people what they want yet still pissing them off. It'd be glorious to watch, though!
Well then.

This I had never heard. It was being developed the same time. Considered we have quick sequels of Splatoon 2 on Switch it makes sense Stars would be Switch.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 was probably being developed the same time as XCX to come to Switch. Damn Nintendo was smart. They were developing Switch games years ago! (Duh!)
Now I'm realizing XC2 is coming in 2017 makes so much sense. *heavy breathing*
who cares? It's fun to read lol
We have to dig deeper to find an exit. We are trapped.

I don't think they would want to release games with 2 different regions in such close proximity. I think we will see just Stars this year, either just on Switch, or both 3DS and Switch. Then I suspect the next games will come to both systems together, with the 3rd version being the Switch exclusive ie.
Diamond and Pearl remakes on 3DS.
Platinum remake on Switch.
When they eventually stop supporting the 3DS, they could revert back to their normal release style.
