My thoughts on the Pokemon Direct is that the Diamond and Pearl remakes look pretty bland and I went from being somewhat excited to almost assuredly skipping them. However, I don't mind much because at least Legends looks both 1 ) interesting and 2 ) like something a developer who actually cares about their franchise would do (experiment with it).

Also Pokemon Snap looks fucking great as always.

So like a good 7 or 8/10. It was definitely better than the main direct, as a non Pokemon fan.

Right? I mean, I am not a graphics whore by any means and I think there's definitely a place in this world for simple, top-down RPGs like this...but it doesn't even look as good as the Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire remakes and those came out 7 years ago! 2014! I also didn't care much about the shoddy animations in Sword/Shield, but it pissed a lot of people off and here they are doing the absolute bare minimum again. 

I'm the kind of person that usually tells other off for caring too much about graphics and stuff, but something about this in particular - when mixed with their recent history - that really angers me. It's like GameFreak or whoever it is remaking the game doesn't even care. I wouldn't even be upset if it was 'only' as good as the last generation's remakes, but this is actively worse and even more simplistic. IT's hard not to feel neglected in this case. 

I'll still buy them, though. If they at least have modern pokemon (as in, can still play with gen 5 and forward pokemon), even though that doesn't seem to be the case.
