How many of you are already dead set in getting the next Gen 8 games.

Mature Tone of SM? SM is campy and childish. I'd prefer the mature tone of BW. I'd also like the difficulty setting of BW2

I really don't want a repeat of the BW dex situation...
I'd say they tackle different mature themes... Although now that I think about it, they both tackle abusive/neglectful parents

I've always bought the latest Pokemon games, so I don't see why Gen 8 will be an exception. Unless they're really really bad, I can't see myself refusing to play. I've ordered LGE online and, while I don't like the GO-esque mechanics, I'm willing to give it a try.

Speaking of GO-esque mechanics I'm hoping that Gen 8 will still have multiplayer co-op in Story Mode but allow the option to battle wild Pokémon for EV Training unless they restrict it towards Super Training from Gen 6 If they decide to bring it back. They've been known to remove additions to the main series games that shouldn't of been removed in the first place while adding new features to replace them that leaves a lot to be desired. I think it's because they're struggling to cater to both casual and competitive players within the same game as opposed to separate games.
With Pokémon GO for the casual market that just leaves the main series titles for the competitive market which could be the start of a new trend for the video game franchise down the road. If that's really the case then I don't think Nintendo / Game Freak let alone Pokémon Company International is ready to pull the plug on VGC's just yet. Problem is that they could care less about what happens on the competitive side as long as they're getting paid for their work since Pokémon has always catered mostly to casuals since it's inception.

You really shouldn't immediately be dead set on buying a game well before it's even announced, but since I play competitively and need to keep up to date I don't get a choice lol.
And tbh Let's Go! so far has not done much for me.

SM had parental neglection, psychotic women like Lusamine (due to Nihilego I think), and said woman froze her own Pokémon! That’s more darker than most gens, sentient dark-colored Nintendo DS system!

It did have those things. However I still felt it handled it immaturely. The game just glossed over it. In BW the whole is game throws it in your face that N thinks that pokemon are slaves and should be free.

I liked both BW and SM. I liked the tone in both. But there really isn't a Pokemon game I dislike. They all have good points and flaws.

See, I disagree with you here. I believe the mature themes were handled poorly in BW because Plasma's plan straight up didn't make sense. N and Plasma can talk all they want about how pokemon are slaves and are treated poorly, but we never see evidence to support this. You could make the arguement that battling = poor treatment but N and Plasma actively use pokemon to battle as well.
We do actively see the affect Lucamine's abusive parenting has on her children in SuMo.
Again, they handle different forms of mature themes but I think SuMo handles their themes better.

I just want gen 7 to be over already. I'll be happy with whatever they bring to the table.

Fans. Fans do.
I am always set on getting the next Pokémon game. I even got USUM, despite my better judgment. More so, given Gen 7 has left a rather bitter taste in my mouth, I am looking forward to Gen 8 more than any other gen.
To be quite honest, the last two gens have not been as good as I would have liked. Gen 6 was too short, and Gen 7 was too bare. I have my heart set out on Gen 8, and with it being on the home console, and I am more hyped and excited than ever before!
I assume the reveal trailer for the game will come in May 2019, but I sure do hope it comes sooner.
Agreed here, there were some actually nice pokemon designs here but other aspects definitely took a down-turn. It didn't help either with Kanto Pokemon with albeit nice designs, had another way to squirm into the region (not just series-wise but merch-wise as well).
I imagine we might at least get title teasers kind of early on and possible legendary silhouettes before the summertime. After that it's E3 and I guess a decision could be made at that point, haha.
Either way, I'm looking at buying one game minimum (if paired games are going to still be an aspect).

The reveal trailer for a main series game has always been announced prior to E3, so I think it's safe to say it will this time as well.
Nintendo would never let Game Freak would never throw away money like that! lol Expect paired games!

SM had an amazing and mature story, imo. It treated the theme of an abusive mother very well especially considering that it's such a casual game when it comes to story stuff.
But anyway, I'm definitely getting the 2019 title, i don't see why some people think it's foolish to say that. I have never been so disappointed by a pokemon game that i regretted buying it, and considering that all pokemon games follow the same concept (travel, catch pokemon, become the champion), i really don't see how it's so absurd to be sure whether you'll be getting the next title or not??? it's a pokemon game, i'll get it. simple.

Well said. I agree 100%
