Nope, they arent showing off the new Pokemon games until May at the earliest.

Pokemon OR/AS-May 7, 2014

Pokemon S/M-May 10, 2016

Pokemon US/UM-June 6, 2017

Pokemon Let's Go-May 30, 2018

Sun and moon was February and XY was January. If not this month, 100% before the end of the fiscal year 

You are right about S/M.

But look at the trend, if there is a Pokemon game the previous holiday than they go with a May/June reveal. If they dont have a Pokemon game in the previous holiday they reveal in Jan/Feb.

Holiday 2018 had a Pokemon game so a May/June reveal is more likely.
