Broadcast and Technical Expectations on a Key Anniversary 🎮

The choice of a pre-recorded broadcast allows total control over the content and stream quality, avoiding mishaps. This format is common in the company for high-caliber announcements. Attention focuses on which game engines or platforms might be shown, considering the current Nintendo Switch cycle and the development of future hardware. The integration of mobile services with the main releases is also a point of observation.

Waking Up Trainers with a Live Stream at an Ungodly Hour ⏰

The appointment is set at a time that seems designed to filter out the less committed trainers. While in Spain it will be 3:00 p.m., in America many fans will have to choose between waking up to the Johto birdsong or waiting for the replay. It's an unofficial loyalty test: if you're watching the live stream with puffy eyes, your fan medal is more than earned. At least it's not a Tuesday.
