I believe everyone is looking forward to itI wonder if this is the month to reveal the 1st evolutions of gen 8 starters.
They didn't get 2018 Legends if I recall correctly, that was only for the west.I’m sort of annoyed that Japan gets to have a “secret website” for the new games and even get items and Pokémon from it while everyone else just get videos. I really want a Shiny Necrozma because that shade of blue is amazing and I want a Shiny Ultra Burst Necrozma. We get stuck with Shiny Solgaleo which just isn’t that great to look at and Shiny Lunala which is the far better looking Shiny of the two. Why does everything good and/or interesting always become exclusive to Japan? I know Pokémon is a Japanese franchise but at least let us have a Magikarp that knows Hydro Pump or a legit Shiny Arceus.
October is very eventful. XY was released. ORAS and SM demo released.
Of course, with every release, the inevitable happens -- datamining.
Like before, this only lists what was revealed in the trailers (and demos). Not CoroCoro, Famitsu, etc. I've skipped trailers that only showed random cinematics or gameplay that didn't really show anything new.

Also, if I'm not mistaken, the users who voted on the "secret site" voted that they wanted the starter evos revealed soon. So yeah.
New pokemon, new moves, new strategies, new region, new characters, etc. the usual stuff people get excited about. As much as I appreciated bringing pokemon from old games forward, I rarely actually used them since in the new games what worked in the previous generation didn't necessarily work as well. Often times it was better to breed up something for the current generation if I wanted to use a old pokemon.The dex being cut is still terrible even months after the reveal. Promotes hacking (are you really gonna breed competitively anymore when there is a chance they don't make it in to the next game) and just makes me indifferent to anything new they introduce. Why get excited?

Yea I'm intrigued too. As long as it doesn't cost too much.Thank God HMs are confirmed to not return, phewwww
Also very intrigued about Home, since they're touting it as "more than Pokemon Bank." I'm just not sure what they'll do with it, but I'm excited to see what it'll look like.
