Oh, it's only five minutes? Well my hype is gone. We'll get a vague main series sequel announcement and that's it. I'd much rather not have Directs become colloquial to "trailers," but I guess that's a Pokemon thing.

Directs are mostly just trailers. I don't get how the lack of filler would kill your hype, but to each their own!

Directs have substance beyond just one thing the majority of the time. What you call filler is usually content that other people care about, like a new game reveal or info about another up and coming release. If I have zero interest in Z or whatever it is I have zero interest in this Direct that's SUPPOSED to celebrate the entire series. I'd much rather have a 20 minute Direct with minor details we  haven't heard about for games like Pokken or even Detective Pikachu than just have a vague as hell basic  railer like we got with XY and a halfhearted "Happy anniversary Pokemon!" It just comes off as lazy to do something like this, with what will surely be single trailer, and call it a Direct just because fans are patiently waiting for a new Direct. They already have to go into overdrive NOT to disappoint me because they're doing a bad job of handling it thus far - it depends how they'd even play a second region in this game for me to care about it, if that rumor is true.

 

Maybe you are satisfied with one thing which I'm almost certain will be incredibly vague, but Nintendo has done these Directs in such a way that they've set moderate to high expectations for them, and a single trailer masked as a Direct is not gonna cut it unless they do something absolutely nuts. And hey, if they go nuts and do the fated all-gen game, then maybe it's worth the five minutes, but I doubt that's gonna happen and I doubt we really want it to happen so this is going to disappoint in all likelihood.
