  1. I still have no idea what the game‘s about

  2. It‘s likely cross-gen with the Switch‘s successor and I hope it‘ll be technically more competent than their last Pokemon game - especially since it‘ll have to run on the original Switch again

We all do but S/V sold like hotcakes so I highly doubt it. They really have no incentive to spend any more time or money that absolutely necessary to churn out games.

Legends means it'll use the open world battling and catching mechanics seen in Legends Arceus.

Also features city planning, could be post-war reconstruction in the past (3000 years ago).

Also, the mega symbol at the end implies new Mega Pokemon.

And since it has a 2025 release date, hopefully it will have enough time to bug fix. Likely, it will use the existing Legends Arceus engine so hopefully that allows them more time to refine.

That's probably the point here. They're intentionally not showing anything and not saying too much because this is the launch game for the Switch U or whatever it'll be called.
