Pokemon fans are abuzz as an early YouTube livestream video is now live, ahead of its Thursday 6:30AM pst/9:30am est broadcast. The presentation is slated to last for 20 minutes. In addition to the YouTube livestream, other platforms that will broadcast the presentation include Facebook, Twitter, and Twitch.
Pokémon Sword and
Pokémon Shield for the Nintendo Switch were released just this past November, so it's unlikely that a new game will be revealed. Most gamers believe the Direct will be for the recently announced
Pokemon Home app, which is a cloud-based storage app that will be capable of allowing gamers to transfer
Pokemon from one game to the next. Gamers will also be able to trade Pokemon with other global
Pokemon Home users.
