I believe Nintendo actually has a controlling interest in the pokemon company tho. They should really flex their muscles in a situation like this.

That's true but still TPCI is the one that deals with marketing and they are YEARS ahead of Nintendo so Nintendo could easily let them do as they please. Plus it might be in Nintendo's interest to have Pokémon announced earlier than E3 so that it doesn't steal the show from other titles (first that comes to mind is Xenoblade Chronicles 2) OR opposedly the do it on purpose so that A LOT more people follow their E3 Spotlight hoping to see more Pokémon...

Personally, i think that unless they have lots of other major surpries saved for E3, showing a game a week before makes zero sense. I'm hoping this is the case but in reality, everything should be saved for E3 imo. At E3 bigger is better. More beneficial to have 2 megatons rather than 1. I could just see people saying Nintendo's E3 lacked surprises otherwise...
