gen 10 info?
Wait it's actually ||Indonesia||
... Is that insane leak I posted real???
No fucking way
pure niche
lmao
fair ivy
gen 10 info?
inner cosmos
the gimmick makes me think this "insane" rumor not true
storm lance
Indonesia stuff wasn't exactly sparse tbh
was one of the bigger rumors before teraleak
storm cipher
that gimmick feels way too unintuitive to be something gamefreak would actually do
storm lance
Rumor was way back before
that seed is a ||kubfu-style mon||
where it evolves into a ||side legendary||
storm lance
||multi region remake||
big project from the pandemic days
inner cosmos
||Legends Galar, HUH?!!||
storm lance
my understanding is
it's supposed to be ||all the japan-based regions||
||gens 1-4 and Kitakami||
storm lance
tagline is specifically
wheat vine
y'all are really bad at spoilering
wheat vine
||gens 1-4 and Kitakami||
.
storm lance
||"being able to walk from Hoehn to Kitakami"||

||probably like gold silver||

||Are all those regions connected? Aren't there gaps between where they represent?||
storm lance
||they'll just fill those out with routes ig||
wheat vine
||Are all those regions connected? Aren't there gaps between where they represen...
||Johto and SInnoh are connected. Kitakami is implied close to Johto||
||Remember the Sinjoh ruins are a thing||
storm lance
based on ZA dialogue
I think ||all regions are supposed to be where their irl inspiration is||
since they explain how ||Galar, Kalos and Paldea|| are situated geographically
||and they match how UK, France and Spain are in relation to one another||
wheat vine
||and they match how UK, France and Spain are in relation to one another||
||wow so Ireland doesn't exist||
||The Galarians actually did it... the madmans||

Also sounds that z-a was originally gonna be ||legends johto||
||Pokémon Legends: Ho-Oh / Lugia (2 Games)
2024 marks the 25th anniversary of G/S
"Pokémon: Tales of Then and Now.”
Set in a time before Pokémon Trainers existed, a story about the origins of Trainers.
The Protagonist, lost in time, revives 3 Pokémon & command them.||
tribal carbon
Been waiting for the plot to start and couldnt get this out of my head
||its really jarring how the game just kicks you into the main plotline||
||your protag is a tourist but we get no info on who they are, why did they go to lumiose, or what were they gonna do there||
||you just drop off your train and immediately join your team after meeting the rival for 5 mins||
twin veldt
||probably didn't want people complaining about the story taking too long to start or something||
tribal carbon
||i hope that wasnt the reason bc i'm 2 hours in and i'm still playing tutorials

inner cosmos

||There's a full on shopping district||
I saw, that's where I saw the shoes I want while watching a twitch stream
inner cosmos
The proper leaker dataminers wouldn't touch clothing outside of Centro posting info we knew already twice, so I was like "Hey can you quickly tour the shops? I wanna see the cute outfits" (I dont think all the outfits were available yet, they were still early on)

Even it's tail is different
@pure niche @tribal carbon LOOK WHAT THEY DID TO THEM

||i always thought it was super weird how pikachu is called the electric mouse pokemon when it's clearly a rabbit||
short stirrup
they gave him ||approaching super-deformed proportions or something||

its a mouse, what you mean
tribal carbon
||i always thought it was super weird how pikachu is called the electric mouse p...
"chu" is the jp onomatopoeia for a mouse squeak
inner cosmos
do rabbits not also chu
rabbits pyon pyon according to google
storm cipher
now that i think about it i have no idea what rabbit noises sound like
inner cosmos
ピョンピョン supposedly this is the characters for pyon pyon
inner cosmos
look at the ears, those are rabbit ears
Those are baby ears 💖 look at the little cute rabbit
storm cipher
apparently according to the artist who designed pikachu it was originally supposed to be a rabbit
storm lance
it's meant to match the modern merch interpretation of him
makes sense for product synergy
inner cosmos
it's meant to match the modern merch interpretation of him
his tail also changed
storm lance
yeah it's bigger, iconic shape is more fleshed out to attract your eyes to it
like
it's more in-line with their modern designs
inner cosmos
and they changed its colors, bro looks like a remade shiny now.
That said, can his shiny be the old colors at least?

||Pikachu model update||
I wonder why
fair ivy
I'm going to need a full translator to translate these latest set of leaks cause I dont know if I should trust Centro's words on what is on the document
fair ivy
the part they're already thinking of
No the office politics stuff
storm lance
oh that part was always known lmao
Let's just say id you dig deep enough you can find
A lot of dirt f about him (this is still formulates in a polite, "for the shareholders" type way)
but also for the longest time rumor was
the thing with Sugimori was
An office love triangle
wheat vine
No the office politics stuff
Yeah I'm taking the "sugimori isn't allowed to direct because he is impossible to work with" with a grain of salt
storm lance
not Sugi
Masuda
which is indeed true
he had far less important roles from the switch era forwards
fair ivy
Well the thing they mentioned wasn't that
But "too much concentration on pr and favourites in the office"
storm lance
like no way they would have thrown Masuda under the bus like this if it was for any "normal" reason
the wording is also unusually harsh
fair ivy
Well the thing they mentioned wasn't that
But "too much concentration on pr and ...
At least that's what Centro wrote as the tldr
storm lance
well yeah
storm lance
also
not covered by Centro
but new boss going into gen 10 is most likely Kazumasa Iwao
Led USUM and PLA but is conspicuously absent from ZA
oh we know now why gen 10 is leaving the pvp to champions
Eclipse is saying
||you can choose betwen ZA action fights or classic turn-based||
tribal carbon
Led USUM and PLA but is conspicuously absent from ZA
Oh this explains a lot
tribal carbon
Me when person in high position of power
fair ivy
The statement is more so about the direction moving too much to pr and basically favouritism in the office

LMAO WHY DOES MEGA MALAMAR ONLY HAVE 108 SPECIAL ATTACK AND 88 SPEDD
They hate him

cope for a good ability
tribal carbon
||mans want me to use my mega evolution on a mon with 108 atk ||
Atp it needs to be contrary with several layers of upside

Inb4 it has wonder guard in the main game

Holy flying secondary is troll
Raising atk by 10 is troll
The other stats are good
Okay maybe flying secondary isn't that bad, similar to togekiss

Imagine if they gave it serene grace and air slash to make it just better togekiss lol
pure niche
mega is a huge opportunity cost regardless
tribal carbon
Its not even that, really
||Clef ||is already the best knock off switch in the game
So you could just throw in a mega stone on it even if your team already has one
pure niche
I wonder how many hours it'll take for us to get the dlc megas too
storm lance
do australians already have the game
damn
we didn't even need online
they were already there

something about auto saves apparently
how would auto saves makes shiny hunting easier or better
what be cooking at Austin's house?
pure niche
I think the best thing to come out of this leak season is centro started crediting people
and also did self datamine
obsidian stump
Meanwhile there was also that annoying ass leaker that kept putting slurs on his leaks
deft mason
Did anyone manage to catch the image of the new ||mega garchomp||, that shit got taken down on twitter
wheat vine
Did anyone manage to catch the image of the new ||mega garchomp||, that shit got...
Spoiler it smh
deft mason
We have to spoiler stuff in the spoiler channel?
wheat vine
We have to spoiler stuff in the spoiler channel?
Yes, because people might be here for different reasons
Some might not wanna know the DLC stuff
deft mason
The weak should fear the leak 
blissful lake
storm lance
Lowkey he's actually worse than assault vest malamar
blissful lake
There's gotta be a catch right?
Like he'll have super contrary as an ability in champions or something?
blissful lake
Also, can battle bond Greninja mega?
tribal carbon
Probably right?
We really dont know since no abilities in ZA and all but like
It doesnt change forms anymore
storm lance
pretending like battle bond won't just get erased in gen 10/champions
tribal carbon
Also the whole snowball relies on base gren getting a kill
Which honestly sounds pretty easy to pivot around
tribal carbon
pretending like battle bond won't just get erased in gen 10/champions
We're also pretending there isnt the possibility showdown eats the bullet after champions
blissful lake
I mean battlebond Greninja should be playable in champions too, no?
storm lance
since from ||WiWa forwards it seems to be sticking around in the main series as a turn-based alternative||
or at least that's what Eclipse been saying
tho ig
that explains why no pvp ig?
blissful lake
Also, Mega Starmie is too versatile. Guy is getting suspect tested.
tribal carbon
Ehhhhh
Idt you're running it mixed
I'm also gonna assume we wont keep most of the move changes like giving swords dance to 70 different mons
blissful lake
I don't think you're running it mixed, but the fact that you can is wild
Also has access to t wave and rapid spin and has huge power
storm lance
||mixed chomp Z|| gonna be insane tho
fair ivy
i think the biggest thing about ||mega golisopod is the opportunity to get rid of its old ability||
storm lance
I keep saying they'll give it the redux mega ability for the theming
||where he activates no retreat at 50%||
or make him even more of a bitch and ||have him bounce on any supereffective hit||
pure niche
Wow no dlc leeks so far
inner cosmos
Ok shiny hunting "method" so far
Every time the loading screen appears it seems to reset the encounters. There are towers you can go into to do it quicker, otherwise flying to a route counts as a reset.
This doesn't increase the odds, but this is how resets will work.

||IS THIS A HINT THAT THE TERALEAKS ARE RIGHT ABOUT LEGENDS GALAR?!||

probs not tbh it probs just hints the proximity of kalos in comparison to galar

So Mega ||Skarmory|| totally gets Good as Gold, yeah?

It's literally golden
