That Pokemon Direct hardly announced a dang thing. They spent the first half of it just saying, 'hooray for us, we're 20 years old!' The only things they announced were Pokemon Sun and Moon and being able to put Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow critters in the Pokemon Bank. Nothing about Pokken Tournament or Pokemon GO. And a US release date of that Pikachu detective game woul've been nice.
I've gotten to the point now where I'm more interested in the Pokemon side games than the main games since they're all kind of the same. But that's not really a bad thing. For each new generation of kids, there is a new Pokemon game, and it's all new to them. And why fix what isn't broken, right? It's a little bit of my fault for ODing on the franchise back in the Red/Blue days, too. But I kind of had to since I was being paid to write Pokemon articles for the newspaper.
