To YOU. Do not portray your side of things as if it's the correct one. In this world where Nintendo has localized literally every major exclusive game in the last year or two, including such high selling gems as Fatal Frame. Assuming Nintendo won't localize a Pokemon game on its anniversary is more foolish than thinking they will, so don't act all high and mighty on that. 

 

As for Pokken, they have barely revealed anything themselves. All the information outside of characters themselves have come from leaks, and almost all of the characters were revealed in magazines and that's it. GameXplain has been the primary advertiser for this game and that's pathetic. Again, your perspective may be different but the fact is Nintendo has barely acknowledged the game in the West outside of announcing it and that halfhearted tournament they're doing at Gamestop before launch. The most they've  done is give out early copies so YouTube advertises for them, because a casual Pokemon fighting game isn't literally what a large sect of fans has been begging forgot years or anything. Hell the fans are the ones forcing it into tournaments like Apex. One is only logical in wondering when they're going to put support into the game instead of gracing us with its existence and that's it. Not sure where you're getting the idea that Nintendo/TPC is supporting it but I can only assume it's because the information was given to us from other sources because they're too lazy to put the work into advertising it themselves. And all that is ignoring the other four character slots that are almost certain to contain something either soon or with patches later on. 

 

Now if Sun/Moon are gen 6.5 or 7 I'm more interested because I simply have no interest in 6. It's so incredibly barebones outside of competitive meta and that turns me off even more than Gen 5 did. I'm glad they did it (partially because I called a year before XY was announced that the world and Dex would be small in order to transition into 3D and everybody called me crazy lol), but especially since ORAS went untouched the current Gen 6 is unacceptably small IMO. I'm in the minority there, I know, and that's fine, but if we get a pseudo-Johto and a few new mon I could be hooked into it depending on how it impresses me. But either way as a fan of ALL Pokemon, not just main series, it's infuriating that they're calling this one trailer a Direct and in all likelihood leaving everything else out. Happy Birthday, Pokemon, but screw a good chunk of you! Now go rebuy Gen 1 and love it, and be grateful we even ported it!

I never said they'll never localize Detective Piiachu, only that it doesn't belong in a worldwide direct regardless.

Where do you think Corocoro, GameXplain, etc. get's their information from? I honestly don't know much about the tournament scene, though I doubt the Pokemon Championship series are ran by the fans, but why does that even matter? I don't think anyone really cares if the info is directly from Nintendo or not, info is info. Eitherway, I'd say Pokken is getting more promotion than your average Nintendo game, and overall the way they've released information on it has been the same for most Pokemon games.
