Leaks for Pokémon

[surreal vault]

||Is it just story related stuff||

||Or is meloetta the 100% completion reward||

[spice timber]

not sure yet

[surreal vault]

I'm gonna try it in a few minutes

[rough kelp]

the way I called this because ||penny peony and peonia are all named after peony flower||

[spice timber]

oh it's

fake

[rough kelp]

kirbwah stuckinanotherdimension

[velvet bobcat]

[spice timber]

they used synchro machine

[velvet bobcat]

synchro machine as mythicals and legendaries sounds so cool

[rough kelp]

centro leaks if being the poopoo doodoo was a class: 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯

[arctic bobcat]

damn you, multiplayer era!

[rough kelp]

if it's real I called it, if it's fake gamefreak just missed an oppoturnity 👍

[arctic bobcat]

i'm assuming that's how it was faked

[rough kelp]

chat...

I just realized I am

[spare hare]

||https://fxtwitter.com/swift_uhm/status/1735410533216776426
||

relevant to what just happened

[rough kelp]

tank was talking about the ||meloetta|| isn't it

... I thought this was about ||penny thing||

kirbwah I gonna die of cringe

[surreal vault]

Bros don't know that Dunsparce don't spawn in there

[arctic bobcat]

trolling too hard

[rough kelp]

anyways I found my old message

2022 me was cooking...

[surreal vault]

Where even is the ||Meloetta|| spot btw

[shell sand]

i thought someone posted the text file again to show that it is actual text from the game

oh its ||moletta||

[spare hare]

||https://vxtwitter.com/Kaphotics/status/1735416602533970238 ||

[shell sand]

maybe pop is popularity

[rough kelp]

wait...

[grizzled turret]

I’m really appreciating that with indigo disk it feels like Pokémon is taking steps towards having an actual lore and real WORLD

thanks to legends for starting this

It’s not necessary but when you’re franchise has been around like 25 years it’s nice to see the long-time devotion pay out

[ivory prawn]

||...I don't think I ever got Keldeo in SwSh||

[spice timber]

OH MY GOD

I GOT IT

I GOT THE ||MELOETTA||

IT'S FUCKING REAL

THIS IS SOME ARG BULLSHIT

i got the stuff from a different server and got up at midnight to test it out because i couldn't sleep

[arctic bobcat]

https://tenor.com/view/whitebeard-one-piece-get-much-higher-can-we-get-much-higher-gif-26637517

[spice timber]

from the other server:
||1. find the npc that talks about singing in the meadow (only shows up at night in carmine's classroom, might not be a requirement)
2. set your clubroom theme to castelia city (from the special album on the jukebox)
3. go to the swirling wind area in the coastal area
4. spin right (might not be necessary) for 30+ seconds
5. go into your camera and turn the sepia filter on
6. when you change the music to the happy theme, it'll be the relic song and meloetta spawns behind you||

[ivory prawn]

||This feels like the kind of shit where like in 3 months people realize 5 of the steps were fake and not necessary ||

[spice timber]

i think the only things that might not matter are ||the npc and the clubroom||

[spice timber]

ok, ||caught mine in a moon ball||

this is WILD

i also think ||it has a unique singing animation for when it spawns behind you, its movements are synced to the relic song it looks like||

[torn ore]

ILCA, why ||DIDN'T YOU BOTHER WITH A RENDER SHINY STELLAR TERAPAGOS LMAO||

||IT'S PROGRAMMED IN GAME (hacks tho||

[arctic bobcat]

i'll be fr i can't see shit here

[tropic pollen]

This is awesome

[rough kelp]

mew under truck looking ahh

[spare hare]

Ah.

Bros hired the unova lore experts for this dlc

[ivory prawn]

Lmfao

||Meloetta really said||

[spare hare]

||if the Castelia city music step is required, this would also explain that as well||

[spare hare]

So true bestie

[ivory prawn]

||Fuck this would've been a 100x better screenshot b/c of the breeze in the meadow thing||

or this

||Hey you know what fuck pokemon who gives a shit to pokemon I wont until they have meloetta sing enka or some shit
https://youtu.be/v9PszLIs1-k?si=hQgJRx0FPK0MEPyc ||

[spare hare]

Wow they seriously recreated ||the ingame meloetta event in full||

||meloetta also spins around during the event as Relic song is played lmao||

[spare hare]

||Paradox unova||

[rose junco]

oh nice

[rough kelp]

||PLA manaphy|| moment

[spare hare]

i love this shit

[ivory prawn]

She really said

[spare hare]

when are they making the next pokemon game like this smh

[tropic pollen]

Question, how do you get the Castelia theme on your Music player?

Is it the town tunes album?

[spare hare]

||buy out all the album expansions in the clubroom. this also requires you to have bought the speaker in the first place||

[tropic pollen]

Oh.

[spare hare]

no, ||it's the special album that's unlocked by buying all other albums||

[tropic pollen]

Well its only 300 bp

the last one is 250 URGH

[spare hare]

bro got goobed

[tropic pollen]

Uh. What does tank mean by ||“Carmine’s classroom”||

Oh ||3-2||

||Ive located the cyclone, and i have tve Castelia Music, but nothing happened, so i believe the NPC is necessary||

God i hate the day/night cycle of this game 😭

[ivory prawn]

||As in you've never talked to that NPC before or just not at the moment||

[tropic pollen]

Never

Just did

Uh.

There’s a shiny Araquanid on the exact spot.

Lol

[ivory prawn]

[tropic pollen]

I cant ||get the relic song to play||

I forgot to spin

Holy shit this is awesome

[tropic pollen]

okay serebii says that steps 1 and 2 are unnecessary ☠️ we ARG'd ourselves LMAO

[surreal vault]

||So you can just get Meloetta whenever you want?||

Hm no something isn't quite right

I did ||the spin and the camera stuff and it still didn't work||

Oh no wait I wasn't on the exact spot nvm

What ball should I catch it in? ||Freind? Safari? Love? Moon?||

||I'll try moon ball||

[tropic pollen]

I was a dumbass ||i was so floored that this was even in the game that i just autopiloted and went Ultra ball||

[spice timber]

that figures lmao

[sacred minnow]

||beast ball would’ve been sick||

||I made the right decision saving mine||

[surreal vault]

Good grief I would not have tried that. ||apparently it has the catch rate of a legendary||

[harsh lion]

spoilers ||if the item printer can actually give you beast balls i'm getting a second one. one for terapagos, one for meloetta||

[spice timber]

i used a ||moon ball, but i think any apriball or rare ball would've worked on it||

[spice timber]

it ||can||

[sacred minnow]

||I thought it was 100% catch rate tho?||

[surreal vault]

||Nope||

[sacred minnow]

That sucks fr

I would’ve been so cool

[tranquil laurel]

So like

||Do we know anything about the inevitable unova games||

||Or just vague khu bs||

[tropic pollen]

The latter

[tranquil laurel]

||The more I think about it the more I wonder if bw3 is a legitimate possibility||

[arctic bobcat]

||pokemon legends: grey||

[tranquil laurel]

||I don’t take it as a hint or something but I do find small things like Lacey being Clay’s daughter and Drayton being Drayden’s grandson I find interesting||

||More likely it’s just funny references||

[shell sand]

is it not literally the fact that Blueberry is in unova

[tranquil laurel]

||I don’t mean if unova games exist I mean what specifically they are||

[velvet bobcat]

||faithful remakes + legends/paradox/whatever seem the most likely for me||

[marble sand]

||BDSP ROUND 2||

[shell sand]

ceave gaming but in a minor tone voice Hooray

[torn ore]

Looking back at that ol reliable 4chan leak

||If DLC 2 is still a thing, and is called "Hexagon", and also the suspicious exclusion of Zygarde and co., ||

[spice timber]

wait

perhaps this is how ||they manage to delay the next full games||?

if ||we get the pecharunt event and this supposed third dlc next year||

[torn ore]

||There's still those two weird unused items, and then all of a sudden Khu is hinting at more content lmao||

[vestal arch]

||if there somehow is more stuff can we get box spaces this time||

[spare hare]

||if they actually lock 40 pc boxes to another dlc i'm gonna be so annoyed||

[wanton trail]

Hmmmm

[spice timber]

can we get like

[torn ore]

||We'll see during Pokemon Day...||

[spice timber]

SOMETHING shiny huntable

||if there's more content||

[torn ore]

||But if this "Hexagon" is indeed real, Kalos DLC believers might actually win lmao||

[torn ore]

Game Freak preparing us for the inevitable of removing shinies next mainline

That's why they putting all shiny locks and many new subtle shinies

[wanton trail]

OMG PLEASE
||I NEED TO REVISIT KALOS WAAAAH||

The ||kalos anime got me into pokemon, i need to play something involving kalos||

Also ||Stellar Tera Ogerpon for dlc3…||

[spare hare]

||idk about another full dlc though bc like||

||what are they gonna do for levels||

||the content in blueberry already reaches the 80s, and the highest postgame rematches go up to lv 87||

||there's no way they're making level 90-100 content for another dlc||

[wanton trail]

||level 100||

||could you imagine it’s just 70-90||

[velvet bobcat]

||battle maison dlc in kalos||

||and ONLY battle maison ||

||btw what is khu hinting anyway? i haven't seen anything from him for months||

[spare hare]

||at most it looked like unova related games||

Frankly anything beyond that is hard to tell bc he's been getting more and more incoherent lately

And some of his "riddles" lately have been presenting answers and saying "it's none of them" or "it was a troll" which sounds like he's trying to cover his ass after getting shit wrong to me personally

Most of his "leaks" are just there to show he knew info before the games come out, not to actually leak shit lol

[wanton trail]

Yep

[spice timber]

he's like barely reliable nowadays

[wanton trail]

Khu’s plot armor is finally gone

[spice timber]

especially considering that most of the riddles are literally impossible to decipher proper

who up praying on khu's downfall

[vestal arch]

there's riddles and then there's whatever simisears on typewriters stuff that khu comes up with

[wanton trail]

Now time for some theorizing
||Who would Kieran’s sync pair for masters be, since they’re doing the neo champion arc right now? I SO hope it’s Pecharunt or Terapagos, but would absolutely love to see Ogerpon||

[wanton trail]

Me

[velvet bobcat]

i dont mind the riddles being cryptic honestly, but i draw the line when they are misleading

[wanton trail]

Same

[vestal arch]

took long enough

[wanton trail]

My least favorite of his misleading riddles was the Paldea Rivals one

[velvet bobcat]

🍎

[spare hare]

It's funny bc like

[wanton trail]

Story spoilers ||I spent the entirety of Indigo Disk waiting for them to show up, and for the zombies to show up, but nothing happened.||

[spare hare]

It's not even riddles at that point

[wanton trail]

Actual false advertising

[wanton trail]

….||Ogerpon?||

[velvet bobcat]

||apple||

[wanton trail]

I see

But most of the neo champions use legendary sync pairs

||hydrapple|| will be his normal sync pair for sure, but neo champion?

[velvet bobcat]

||tbh the zombie thing, and the stuff with the paldea rivals was correct... but it is not out yet||

[wanton trail]

OH RIGHT

[velvet bobcat]

||i do wonder if they planned on releasing it with indigo disk instead of holding it up to later||

[wanton trail]

||Pecharunt’s gonna answer a bunch of questions hopefully||

[spare hare]

Honestly it just seems like they're returning to the ||old style of mythicals for this||

[velvet bobcat]

good

[spice timber]

i wouldn't say that entirely

[wanton trail]

Oh wow I can’t wait to go to NYC Nintendo for a ||pecha berry||

[spice timber]

cuz ||there's stuff like coaches tied to it||

[spare hare]

My guess is they're doing this because ||nemona, arven, and penny don't show up in hidden treasure of area zero||

But they wanted them ||to show up in something important for a last event||

[spice timber]

i think it'll be ||some kind of permanent content update revealed on pokemon day or something, with pecharunt being the focus and them giving it mythical status because it was timegated||

[wanton trail]

It would’ve been awesome if ||the paldea rivals, carmine, and Kieran were the ones helping with the terapagos battle||

[spare hare]

?

i mean like how they used to have ||ingame events for mythicals||

[velvet bobcat]

||i really wish they were in the dlcs tho, even if the focus is still on the twins||

[spice timber]

well yeah, mb

speaking confusingly again

[velvet bobcat]

||the event seems way too big to be limited||

[spice timber]

iirc in the files, ||carmine's dialogue for the clubroom references a lot of stuff that happens during the pecharunt event||

[spare hare]

i don't understand how this conflicts with what i said

[spice timber]

oh, i guess i meant it like ||the gen 4 events were entirely timegated, while this seems to be more of a mini content update||

[spare hare]

||well it depends on distribution but it's still like. ingame events lol||

||also they could just update the dialogue if you've done the event but otherwise you wouldn't be able to see it||

[split swan]

(initially thought it was okay but spoilered when I realize maybe it wasn't) (Mon Spoilers) ||I wonder if we will ever get the fusions for The Ancient Element Beasts and The Future Swords||

[tranquil laurel]

Oh btw reminds me

[spare hare]

||they actually go back and update academy ace tournament with the new indigo disk teams||

[tranquil laurel]

Praying they do another run for wake and leaves

[spare hare]

also we don't know yet if it's timegated or not

[tranquil laurel]

||Cause why are they not in the dlc it makes no sense||

[spice timber]

we don't, yeah

[spare hare]

for all we know it could be a limited distribution

bc ||walking wake and iron leaves turned out to be limited||

[spice timber]

this is also the same expansion where they locked 25 legendaries for no reason

[spare hare]

i assume they will bc like

they're actually allowed in regulation f

[tranquil laurel]

It’s just so silly though

[spare hare]

so it would make sense to ||do another run for those before regulation f and to promote the dlc||

but i agree the whole thing is incredibly stupid

[tropic pollen]

||until Pecharunt event also has the third Perrin quest ||

[tropic pollen]

||honestly the second perrin quest was really weird. didnt like it. felt a little rushed. ||

[spice timber]

oh also

[spare hare]

it was a pretty nothing quest compared to the bloodmoon beast one

[spice timber]

there are ||3 coaches that atm are completely impossible to invite and do not count towards cyrano showing up|| i think

[split swan]

||Also with the implication that the paradox mons could be from other timelines, makes me wonder what the Ancient Elemental Beast and Future Sword fusions are, is it just the artist's mistaking 3 creatures for 1? Does the fusion actually exist? ||

[tranquil laurel]

||They’re explicitly a trio of Pokémon that aren’t complete without all 3 so it’s dumb to say “too bad if you missed an event 9 months ago lol”||

[spare hare]

||they did do a rerun in may ||

||but besides that nothing||

[tropic pollen]

||i think the weirdest part to me was just that she knew the names...? why. what purpose does that serve. why not just say "hey i found some weird pics on the internet, do you know where this is? never been anywhere that looks even remotely like that. prolly fake tho haha."||

[spare hare]

||there was zero mystery to this lmao 😭 ||

||also where are those pics even coming from||

||access is supposed to be severely limited||

[tranquil laurel]

||Riddler_Perrin||

[spare hare]

it's funny too bc like

[velvet bobcat]

||someone forgot to close the gate to area zero after the way home ||

[spare hare]

||some of these locations are like really far down into area zero||

[tropic pollen]

||was surprised none of them were in the cave itself||

[spare hare]

datamined mon ||as far as i can tell i don't think pecharunt is involved in any of the dead ppl coming back shit||

||like it absolutely is the reason why loyal three became the loyal three in the first place, but none of its flavor text that i've seen implies any ability to bring back the dead||

||they only talk about how it can manipulate people by feeding them poison mochi||

[silver shore]

Ic

||so we don't exactly know how the loyal 3 were revived?||

[spare hare]

||i guess not?||

||i mean i still think the tera crystal shit is the most likely, simply because there is no satisfying alternative explanation right now||

||the purple shit around kieran is weird but pecharunt doesn't have any revival capabilities ||

[silver shore]

This leads me to wonder if ||we'll get a third dlc about pecharunt||

[spare hare]

||it's implied we're gonna get a distribution with the required item at some point in the future||

||don't think it's gonna be a full dlc, more like an item distribution which will unlock the event ingame||

||seems like a good pokemon day reveal and even shadow drop to me||

[silver shore]

||oh that's an even better way to go about it||

[spare hare]

maybe it's like, ||toxic chain/pecharunt enhanced the tera crystal's powers to the extent they could actually fully resurrect something instead of just transporting it through time temporarily?||

||although it's weird bc it's implied that the toxins should have affected kieran in that case, not the teal mask/tera crystals themselves||

[spice timber]

i really do wonder what ||pecharunt's origins are, because i don't think the theory about it being some weird mutated glimmora holds much weight anymore||

||its pecha shell thing looks oddly futuristic||

[velvet bobcat]

||i think it's just a magic trouble maker like hoopa without much of a story besides being old||

[spice timber]

yeah, ||it's just super interesting to theorize about||

[spare hare]

||yeah i'm not sure there's much of a history there that ties into the tera stuff specifically||

||probably some fucked up pecha berry or something, idk||

||the item to unlock it, mythical pecha berry, also has this flavor text: "A Pecha Berry of the highest quality. It's said that a Pecha Berry tree carefully tended by an expert gardener will produce just one of these Berries every few years."||

[spice timber]

an aspect i find funny is (actual spoilers for the event) ||it was literally the plushie sitting in that stall the entire time||

[velvet bobcat]

||btw now that the dlc is out, do we know which one of those characters was the one khu was referring to?||

[spice timber]

we ||still have no clue i think||

[velvet bobcat]

||who has the 'key to the lore'?||

[spice timber]

||there weren't any blatant teasers to the next games in disk, unless there's some in pecharunt's event||

[velvet bobcat]

||well, there was a blatant unova, but that's about it||

[spare hare]

the one i would have said is ||lacey bc of the direct reference to clay but he says it's not her sooo||

[velvet bobcat]

||would be funny if it was crispin and its a cooking spin off||

[silver shore]

Idk if I had to assume it would be ||Drayton?||

[spare hare]

idk maybe they have some throwaway line that actually is a slight tease for ||the type of unova games they're about to make||

[spice timber]

it could literally just be ||drayton having an archaludon||

[rough kelp]

||amarys is castelia and crispin is virbank right||

hmmmm

[velvet bobcat]

||what confuses me the most is the 'key to the lore' thing. maybe its the lore of the next game and not indigo disk? cause none of those characters have any connections to the lore||

||i guess it could be kieran since he did interact with a big lore thing||

[silver shore]

||what are the chances we'll get a new Johto game along with a Unova game?||

[velvet bobcat]

||please not two at the same time||

[silver shore]

True

[spare hare]

||tbh although i think it would be cool to like||

||have a paradox johto and paradox unova bc of the legendary paradoxes||

||it is extremely unlikely||

bc they would literally have to make ||two completely different games around the same time||

||and it would not be feasible unless they passed those games off to other devs or something, but i doubt they'd do that for a case like this||

[rough kelp]

the next ||game is Pokémon Legend: Ogerpon (kitakami confirmed)||

[velvet bobcat]

||i think kieran is the most likely since he does get to hold terapagos, for a bit, which is yknow, the lore pokemon, and contributes overall to the "paradox game" thing, since terapagos is also maybe perhaps involved with paradox pokemon||

||actually, the use of the word "grasps" there makes me really thing the key to the lore really is terapagos and kieran is the one||

[spare hare]

||maybe tihs just means paradox unova||

[velvet bobcat]

||i'll be all out for it||

[spare hare]

after all this is a riddle from pretty early on

[velvet bobcat]

||leaker says 'next game' which is interisting||

[spice timber]

though it's also khu

so ||probably best to go in with an open mind||

[velvet bobcat]

||you'd think they'd release the remake first and then the big legends/paradox game, not the other way around||

[spice timber]

it does feel like ||indigo disk was built almost to be an open world unova game||

[velvet bobcat]

||they really remixed all those battle themes only to remix them again in the next two games uh||

||or maybe they'll reuse them?||

[rough kelp]

tbf ||they remixed giratina theme twice for PLA and bdsp, but I guess those are two different team. maybe this will be different teams too||

[spare hare]

||i think the style of the remixes in sv is different enough that it wouldn't be too weird if they remixed them again||

[rough kelp]

I really said ||giratina when it's like bunch of sinnoh songs||

[tropic pollen]

||Looks like a fucked up Hattena||

[rough kelp]

its ||stat is so fucked up||

[runic prawn]

do I want to know the leaks hmmmmmmmmm

my guess is ||some event|| but idk

[spice timber]

the Big Thing that there is to spoil yourself on rn is ||an ingame event that isn't available yet, and has a pokemon tied to it||

^ just what it is, no details

[runic prawn]

||gen 9 has yet to have a mythical mon iirc so makes sense, interesting||

[spice timber]

if you wanna look into it, the entire thing is fully in the files

otherwise, it'd probably get revealed officially in a month or two

[velvet bobcat]

has anyone played the whole thing already?

[spice timber]

there's text dumps for it and a few screencaps floating around, though idk where to find them besides mattyoukhanas' twitter along with most of the other datamines

but i don't think there's proper footage

[rough kelp]

that ||event seem to be whatever leaked story that involves you and all 5 companions||

[velvet bobcat]

yeah there's footage

seeing it rn

||https://youtu.be/ZJ2CYwgR3X8?si=16wcX1S_Ey_derqZ|| (post-dlc spoilers)

this is the big thing

also silly as hell thumbnail lmao what is she doing

[spice timber]

oh wtf there's actually footage?

[velvet bobcat]

||oh my god this whole first section with the rivals this is so good!||

||friends being friends finally||

||you could make a full sitcom with those guys... which is kinda of what this event seems to be||

||this dialogue is so fun what the hell i love those guys||

the nintendo switch has games

[spice timber]

oh this is where the Bulbapedia Citation Dialogue is

unreleased thing spoilers

[velvet bobcat]

there it is

[rough kelp]

btw

does this mean ||peony called her penpen||

pls 💀

||the existence of pen-pen implies the existence of peo-peo (peonia)||

[velvet bobcat]

this dynamic is incredible i love those guys i swear

[spare hare]

yea this makes me even more confident this was just to ||have an excuse for all the buddies to meet||

||shame it's just through this but oh well, more dialogue||

[rough kelp]

my favorite ||companions, girlfailure guyfailure girlfailure girlfailure guyfailure||

[spice timber]

holy shit

||this is actually incredible||

[velvet bobcat]

||i want a whole show out of this||

||THE DANCE I CANT||

||CARMINE DOING THE MOST STUPID ASS DANCE TO THE BEAT||

||bro is flabbergasted||

[wanton trail]

Lol

[velvet bobcat]

oh my fucking god there's this scene

like i wont even describe

when you see it you'll immediatly understand what im talking about

[shell sand]

wait so

her og hair color is brown

?

[velvet bobcat]

no?

||peonia has gray hair so||

||it checks out with penny||

[shell sand]

i call that brown, tbh

Anyway, how interesting

an event pokemon that ||unlocks post game after post game||

[velvet bobcat]

||also wow this is so well animated||

[spice timber]

i think i'm at the scene

is it the one at ||37:23||?

[velvet bobcat]

||glad at least the cutscenes all got great animation in this game... minus the framerate||

ye

[spice timber]

oh my god

[velvet bobcat]

this is going to become a meme once it drops

[spice timber]

||https://tenor.com/view/hotel-transylvania-dance-epic-super-mario-rpg-gif-3636460322883581231 ||

^ implications of story elements for unrevealed content

[velvet bobcat]

incredible implications

||"WELCOME TO THE NEMONA SURVIVORS CLUB" 💀 ||

scarlet violet's major fatal flaw is introducing so many great characters with such great chemistries and then ending.

this was tons of fun ||a shame we'll only see those guys again in masters||

[wanton trail]

…should I watch this video

[velvet bobcat]

no, if it means you can experience it blind yourself

[spice timber]

it's fucking worth it to wait

trust us

[velvet bobcat]

honestly i regret watching it

i was not expecting so much

[spice timber]

i'll probably have spoiled myself on it anyways because of the month or two between now and its likely release, but i implore you to go into it blind yourself

[velvet bobcat]

lets just hope game freak does not spoil it with an announcement video

[rough kelp]

I am gonna be looking at this video. I gonna inject this leak into my veins. I gonna absorb all these dialogues. I gonna learn them word by word

(I also gonna post some spoiler pics so uh don't click them rail 👍)

[spice timber]

full event spoilers do not click if you don't want to spoil yourself on peak ||dokutaro being a pokemon who forcefeeds people mochi and then makes them do the chicken dance to a pizza tower-esque remix of the loyal three theme was not on my pre-disk prediction list||

[velvet bobcat]

||the night of the living sillies||

||man this would had been perfect for an halloween release||

[wanton trail]

That fortunately leabes this event unspoiled enough for me

I just hope it’s easy to obtain the ||mythical pecha berry||

[rough kelp]

💀 I am watching the video

why is the guy speaking roto sound outloud

pls

ohhh I see now (story spoiler)

[wanton trail]

Im so tempted to watch this video but I want to keep peak unspoiled

[spice timber]

yeah don't watch it

though there's a good chance people are just gonna spoil it in thumbnails and shit

[velvet bobcat]

very likely

[rough kelp]

oh

[velvet bobcat]

i hope they release this soon

[torn ore]

And then after this, ||Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Expansion: Hexagon.... /s?||

[spare hare]

||she actually uses this in her indigo disk teams rn, if she has skeledirge iirc||

[rough kelp]

nevermind that's crazy

(same spoiler as above)

yeah it is king

[spare hare]

||she replaces orthworm and dudunsparce with kommo-o and milotic/dusknoir/something else i don't remember||

[rough kelp]

oh that's cool ||tera ghost dirge||

||I think it's probably that Pecharunt influenced Kieran to take the Teal Mask to the Loyalty Plaza so the Mask's restorative abilities could revive the Lousy Three?||

holy shit something happened in randbats that was awful

datamine/spoilers/etc ||this guy sent out pecharunt as their last mon and i switched to tinglu. i got poisoned by malignant chain (its 50% badly poison) and confused by the ability. then my tinglu hit itself every turn while tera dark pecharunt set up to +4 with nasty plot and then killed me.
i had a specs scovillain that outspeeds though so we all good||

[split swan]

(Spoilers for hacked things) ||find it funny Kieran is the only main companion who does not get possessed by Pecharunt.||

[tropic pollen]

Randbat moment

[silver shore]

After all our speculation too lol

[rose junco]

||https://pastebin.com/jCq4dGaU all League Club dialogue||

[spice timber]

for context, this has all the ||league club dialogue|| including (presumably unrevealed content) ||the paldea friend group and kitakami siblings||

[rose junco]

||ah, had no idea they couldn't be there normally||

[spare hare]

I think they're saving them for ||after pecharunt||

[spice timber]

iirc the reason is because they're tied to ||the unreleased event||

for example, ||nemona mentions a pokemon she only has in that event||

[spare hare]

Also some of the npcs in blueberry talk about how ||Kieran and carmine are on break rn which is why you can't find them at all after beating indigo disk||

[rose junco]

||just makes me wish the unreleased event was already in even more lol, tied so much stuff to it it feels like||

[tropic pollen]

||im dying they gave her ice punch dusknoir||

[spare hare]

||bc they're locking your friends as league coaches behind it, the event surely can't be limited time||

Surely

[tropic pollen]

||vintage smogon meme||

[spare hare]

[neat needle]

||it would be nemona who’d go out of her way during a fancy event to fight Clay just because he’s a gym leader, huh||

[spice timber]

||i feel like it has to not be limited time considering there are three slots in the coach menu you can never unlock in the basegame||

[spare hare]

I think that would make sense yes

||also bc they're presenting the event as an epilogue to the dlc||

Then again ||I also thought it made sense to include walking wake and iron leaves in the dlc bc the other two of their trio are available but we know how that turned out||

[spice timber]

||they forgot to do something stupid this gen so they decided the legendaries would take the blows||

[velvet bobcat]

||really regretting trading my iron leaves away rn||

||i did it to get walking wake to get koraidon||

[shell sand]

god no wonder youre all rebels go back to your cool outfits

[sharp lake]

“Hi, how are you?”

[shell sand]

legitimately insane

[velvet bobcat]

vtubers

[rose junco]

||can barely tell they're the same character lol||

[candid nebula]

||Eri still slays normal student look but her Team Star outfit slayed even more||

[spare hare]

Wtf has this always been here

(Datamined info in here too) I went to ||peachys to buy curry powder and accidentally clicked on pecharunt apparently||

||and it says "There's a dusty old decoration of some sort mixed in with all the daily goods and things... and it smells sort of sweet?"||

||to be clear I'm referring to the flavor text, not the pecharunt model itself||

[spice timber]

iirc ||that was added in disk?||

[white garden]

Puberty be like:

[shell sand]

girl

no

[tropic pollen]

In the wake of the momma line being proven fake, i’d like to question the validity of this

Or at least, i’d like more concrete evidence that the line exists beyond a post from Centro

[ivory prawn]

Theres a video of the entire event

[ivory prawn]

Heres that text

[ivory prawn]

And the vid

[tropic pollen]

🫡

Gotcha. I now believe it since Overlord Fae has confirmed it

[rough kelp]

if you like the game's characters do not look at the video jedi

savor it for when it come out

[tropic pollen]

I will

unreleased event spoilers (full vid so do not click if you don't want spoilers, timestamped) ||new headcanon dropped||
||https://youtu.be/ZJ2CYwgR3X8?t=3073 ||

||in this bit where pecharunt screams at you, the warbling effect comes out of its shell pieces||

||do y'all think pecharunt plays the music all the mochi mad people schmoove to irl using its shell like speakers, and its theme is a techno/rave remix of the loyal three theme for that reason as well||

^ event spoilers

[split swan]

(response to above spoilers) Find it interesting ||Despite being the trio master for the Loyal 3 and the mon responsible for Ogerpon's tragic backstory, this event does not involve any of those four mon||

[manic bane]

oh lmao

||i wonder when theyre gonna officially drop all of this then||

[wanton trail]

Music theme ||bro Pecharunt’s battle theme is fantastic what the||

[rough kelp]

leaked story spoiler ||pecharunt has special dialogues if you sent in any of the loyal three, and ogerpon has special dialogue if sent in against pecharunt||

[surreal vault]

Oh?

[spice timber]

oh shit

do we know what they are?

[candid nebula]

||The runt speaks?||

[rough kelp]

it's just ||grunting, but like. angry grunting||

[wanton trail]

[candid nebula]

Oh

[wanton trail]

||peculiar…||

[rough kelp]

btw ||apparently there are hacked raid that give you the item for mochi mayhem around rn. idk if you gonna get banned if you join them, so be careful.||

[wanton trail]

Oh

Ty for telling skelly

||note to self: do not join any online raids…||

[rose junco]

||not sure if this is true, I don't think real 'hacked' raids exist for SV still (based on what I've seen and heard); also, were even hacked raids ever able to give Key Items (in SwSh)?||

[rough kelp]

i dunno

but ||iirc someone managed to hack a raid to have properties of a mewtwo raid before (boosting mew stats) ||

[rose junco]

||yeah but that wasn't online hosted was it?||

[rough kelp]

idk

again, someone got it, I am just repeating what they said

[rose junco]

||but anyway the only people I have seen who have said they have 'gotten the key item Mythical Pecha Berry from Raids' are people in videos to cover up the fact they hacked it in themselves (with it being pretty obvious in some videos that they hacked with having 999 of every ball for example)||

[sharp lake]

||The TOVG vid of the mochi quest got taken down. I dunno if anyone said this already so yeah.||

[rose junco]

makes sense, sort of expected that to happen eventually

[sharp lake]

||The loyal three when they’re actually loyal to you and fight their old master:||

[rose junco]

||oh yeah don't see any sort of hacked raids with the item going through the usual raid streams at least||

[rough kelp]

k apparently

||it's a secret discord where someone set up this raid. it's like, the raid mon is hacked to hold the item. so by catching it you also get the item (despite it being key item)||

so thankfully ||you can't find these? I guess||

[rose junco]

||oh huh interesting||

[sharp lake]

||That’s good at least if people aren’t getting randomly screwed over by raids.||

[rose junco]

||so guessing it's possible to set these up online then? wonder how long until one of those raids streams tries to do these||

[rough kelp]

idk the detail but maybe

[spare hare]

so are these gonna be some special gift thing or what

[rough kelp]

briar used them king

[spare hare]

||we also never got dishes for the picnics lol||

yea ik

but they also have the ||banners||

||which implies they were meant to be usable at some point||

[rough kelp]

(leaked story spoiler) also what i was talking about earlier: ||it's just grunting but still
https://fxtwitter.com/kirbycheatfurby/status/1737194861953007996
https://fxtwitter.com/kirbycheatfurby/status/1737194226599727176 ||

[spare hare]

tbh i hope they release ||the scarlet/violet cases at some point, the banners are nice so it'd be a shame to let them go to waste||

||we should have been able to get them in this dlc considering we literally get the scarlet/violet book back and bc briar is using it||

but nope

[sharp lake]

||Get Starscream’d you purple football.||

[rough kelp]

it's odd because ||you can't get briar as coach, the one oppoturnity for her to give stuffs||

[spare hare]

also ||speaking of briar does she just completely disappear||

[rough kelp]

its

[spare hare]

||bc i certainly haven't seen her anywhere||

[sacred minnow]

||football is crazy bro||

[spare hare]

leaked story ||and unlike the rivals/friends afaik it's not like she appears in epilogue either||

[wanton trail]

Ooo

[spice timber]

||this is such a sick detail, pecharunt gets pissed at its former bodyguards being used against it and ogerpon wants fuckin revenge for what it did to her friend||

[sharp lake]

||Gonna bring Ogerpon and all of the L3 to piss it off as much as possible||

[tropic pollen]

||shes busy selling books||

[rough kelp]

honestly craziest part of the plot

like, not exact word but ||she literally said: "I am terribly sorry for what happened at the cave zero. as an apology I gonna sell these books and give you a copy"||

[rough kelp]

k I maybe lying to gigi in the other chat but ||do you guys think this "certain postgame event" is something new that give the pecha berry||

[spice timber]

it might just be ||completing the postgame dialogue with the three paldea friends and the team star sidequest||

[rough kelp]

yeah but I feel like if they list these as ||the only conditions then where does the pecha berry come in||

[spice timber]

it would obviously result in ||the mythical pecha berry being obtained|| though

[rough kelp]

fair point

[harsh lion]

yeah this

[torn ore]

||Wonder if they'll distribute the item thru Mystery Gift, or give it its own update even tho all the data's in game||

[surreal vault]

It's gotta be ||mystery gift||

[spice timber]

but ||there's no time for the event to begin/end, and i doubt mystery gift can tell if you're postgame or not||

[harsh lion]

||if the magearna qr code can tell, mystery gift probably can? regardless, the event wouldn't have to trigger with just the item, but with other flags such as "beat indigo disk"||

[spice timber]

||there's also a bug fix update coming out eventually to fix some stuff like tm223 being violet exclusive||

[harsh lion]

||maybe its not an event that ends||

||it is the epilogue to the dlc after all||

||would be weird for the complete experience of sv to be not only paywalled but time limited too||

[surreal vault]

||TM 233???||

[harsh lion]

||metal sound. required shieldon materials||

[rough kelp]

yeah

so now ||scarlet players get 10 of them to compensate, and violet get 10 of them for free||

finally, a violetbro's W

[wanton trail]

We won….

[sacred minnow]

Yeah but then again this is Tyranitar Tube so

Point and laugh

[wanton trail]

Ig

Its still fun to watch

[white garden]

Ok then let’s spam this

[rough kelp]

you won't believe what ||what is gen 2 mythical celebi and gen 4 legendary dialga's theme||

[split swan]

Now I think about it don’t ||Gen 2 and 5 have time related things||

(Spoilered but nothing dlc related) Makes me wonder if ||the next game project combines Johto and Unova||

[velvet bobcat]

||legends celebi?||

[wanton trail]

[velvet bobcat]

||i cant believe they did not have the time travel pokemon in the game about time travel||

||celebi copium never ends...||

[split swan]

Now I think about it another ||connection between Gen 2 and 5 is that the final Gen 4 anime movie was about Zoaroark and also had Celebi as the bad guy’s plan was to find Celebi to exploit it and Zoaroark got in the way oh and that Zoaroark made illusions of the Elemental Beasts too||

Maybe the next game project is about ||Celebi sending the new protag to the future to save the world cause something bad is gonna happen||

[rough kelp]

the children yearn for PMD2

[surreal vault]

I can't post this either in the normal or spoiler chats so here

[rough kelp]

skull

[wanton trail]

Chat I’ve been having some awful theories lately

Theory ||what if there’s no unova remakes, but indigo disk was our gen 5 remake||

[prime monolith]

...tbh ||you would play a GEN5 remake on the BDSP style ?||

[spare hare]

tbh yeah

[prime monolith]

not me

[spice timber]

it does help that ||bw are way WAY better games than base dp||

[sharp lake]

||I wouldn’t find that very satisfying, but if they would do BDSP styled remakes for gen 5 then I rather no remakes tbh.||

||If anything, I would just do a Unova Legends game.||

[harsh lion]

||if they make BDSP styled remakes for gen 5 they'd have a legends game to go with it
would you prefer these 2 or a SV-style Unova game remake*? genuine question||

||I'm saying SV style but let's assume the frame rate is a constant 25 30 fps||

[spare hare]

||when you say sv style unova game do you mean a "remake" or an actual new game||

[harsh lion]

||oh I mean remake like how ORAS is XY-style RS||

[sharp lake]

||If they execute it well, a SV rework would be great but I greatly prefer Legends styled catching mechanics.||

[spare hare]

||i'd rather the bdsp remake + legends yea||

[harsh lion]

||they gotta bring back out-of-battle catching for sure lol||

[spare hare]

||i don't hate open world but if we're going to go more open i prefer the zones of pla ||

[harsh lion]

||"i can't imagine playing more pokémon games without out of battle catching" i say as i have two different ongoing files of SV, replay like 5 pokemon games a year, etc||

[spare hare]

||which is why i like the sv dlc so much i think, bc kitakami and the terarium are more like mini zones||

[harsh lion]

have to agree lol

[sharp lake]

||Getting encounter chained in SV is so genuinely unfun, it made me want PLA’s mechanics.||

||You have to wait in battle for the mons around you to move and it’s so stupid.||

[prime monolith]

||i would like if the remake was fully 3d at least, maybe not open world, just 3d, like sun and moon maybe||

[surreal vault]

God fucking dammit did they seriously take down EVERY ||Pecharunt theme|| upload???

Unreleased event ||i know the pecharunt event basically confirms that Penny's dad is Peony, but i just thought of a funnier idea||

I don't see it

||No way, Internet Explorer is the dad of Google Chrome!||

[tropic pollen]

[spare hare]

for anyone who saw the full (unreleased) ||mochi mayhem event, is pecharunt a guaranteed capture or no||

[spice timber]

unreleased event spoilers ||it works the same way as the ogerpon/bm-ursaluna/terapagos captures, so any ball you throw is guaranteed||

[rough kelp]

yeah ||it's guarantee king, you fight it then has the prompt to throw||

it's so funny actually ||that it's guaranteed catch but the loser three are normal legendaries catchrate||

Fine smh

[marble sand]

@rough kelp ||on the venomoth skribblio i was really tempted to say pecharunt but i was like. No that pokemon isn't released yet we can't guess it||

[rough kelp]

IK

I was gonna say that too but my paste doesn't have it

[torn ore]

||Remember that SV DLC leak||

[silver shore]

leak spoilers:
||Seems after so long, pecharunt has dethroned gengar as the sole poison/ghost type, meaning the zubat line is now the longest lasting line with a unique type combo||

||Hexagon||

[torn ore]

||Hexagon... Zygarde.... Missing Kalos legends. There's a bit of a connection now lol||

[tropic pollen]

||what was hexagon again||

[harsh lion]

||Some 4chan post talking about SV DLC saying it had two themes, The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero and Hexagon||

||Buncha stuff about Hidden Treasure in the post too||

||IDK if it meant there's 2 DLCs bc lets be real pokemon loves its hexagons and the tera symbol is a hexagon. so||

[tropic pollen]

||i did find it weird that the hexagon on the tera crowns had evil eyes and then terapagos was just baby||

[velvet bobcat]

Put furret back on the escalator

[split swan]

apparently there were 8 new "terastal states" that ended up being cut

[spice timber]

y'know

if there really were tera forms like what khu was implying before disk dropped

i wonder if that means there was gonna be a gmax vespiquen in swsh's dlc that got cut in the same fashion

[white garden]

Im guessing the Kanto Starters, Paldea Starters, and the Raidons

[velvet bobcat]

From who is this?

[spice timber]

it was a khu thing

according to khu, the terastal states and the npc that would have a method to lower evs were both cut

[velvet bobcat]

Wow that sucks

[surreal vault]

Tbh I think it's better that the extra Tera states were cut

Less mon favoritism, less unnecessary powercreep, and it keeps ogerpon and terapagos more unique

[harsh lion]

I hope they weren't cut for time reasons lol

Like I hope they were just a consideration and then they went "no thats stupid as hell"

[surreal vault]

That too

[harsh lion]

I don't mind the paldea trio not having cool forms or whatever because terastal is very much not about that + you can only get one in the game anyway so they still feel very much unique

Thats how I feel anyway

[velvet bobcat]

I think this gives off really bad vibes from how production was at gamefreak
Especially for the NPC that got cut
They probably were really out of time

[harsh lion]

likewise I don't mind koraidon/miraidon not having cool new forms because... they have no relation to terastal

[wanton trail]

“But sir, Charizard has to have another form!”
“Well fuck you, no charizard bias this gen”

[harsh lion]

I can see that but even then one has to wonder how necessary those features were

https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Fresh-Start_Mochi

[surreal vault]

I can see the lowering evs thing being removed because of the mochi

[harsh lion]

??? What would the NPC do

Lower them less?

[surreal vault]

And its not like ev lowering berries are difficult to find

[harsh lion]

There's berries

I have no idea what the point of that would be then

If anything it was probably planned for Teal Mask no?

Bc EV resetting NPC was in Isle of Armor

[velvet bobcat]

Maybe the opposite of the bottle cap one? Lower just one stat to zero

[harsh lion]

Maybeeeeee

I guess you can't buy ev reducing berries

I think anyway

never bothered to check

[velvet bobcat]

Yea there's no way to buy em

[harsh lion]

Oh auctions I guess

And they're also in Ogre Oustin' like the mochi

[velvet bobcat]

Berry planting would be a neat thing to have in this gen

[harsh lion]

If it's time constraints rather they cut this than have like. Idk a bug where the battle music against the elite four doesn't play correctly

never let game freak live anything down 🔥

[velvet bobcat]

Kinda disappointed how this all points out to "yeah we got no time we gotta make the next game NOW"

Like wow ok we are never gonna get out of this are we

[harsh lion]

I mean its different people making them it always is

Well

No not really in 3 years we'll probably have the people who made SV's DLC making the next gen's DLC

If anything PLA's 2nd anniversary being like next week should be bigger cause for concern

[velvet bobcat]

It all concerns me

Fingers crossed there's nothing for 2024

[harsh lion]

We're Definitely getting a mainline game this year and whether it's some ILCA remake in november and then a Legends game around next January or just a big Game Freak title by the end of the year both outcomes are trash (esp bc going off BDSP->PLA->SV 2025 would also have another mainline)

[velvet bobcat]

Except spin offs. Those are fine

[harsh lion]

Yeahh its

I love pokemon

But

I love pokemon and I love SV so much you have no idea

BUT

I don't want a new pokemon game this year and I don't want more DLC for SV this year or ever

[marble sand]

the problem's just gonna keep compounding on itself until they decide to change it - and i don't think they're gonna

[velvet bobcat]

They admit that what they are doing is not sustainable and keep doing it anyways
This really says a lot about society

[harsh lion]

well you'd think the most profitable franchise in the world would be just about the finest example of capitalism

i wonder how working conditions Are at game freak (projects bc theres barely 170 employees last there was data about it but over 1000 people work on each major release)/the pokemon company

[marble sand]

real - you don't get there making ethical business decisions

[north fjord]

I don’t want another game this year but they’re 100% gonna release a game this year

[marble sand]

agreed yea

[north fjord]

I can see it maybe being a new Legends game perhaps

[marble sand]

||if leaks are any indicator anyway. But even if they didn't exist it would still be apparent they're gonna release something||

[harsh lion]

If they release a game at all I sincerely hope it's not by Game Freak

I'll take ILCA XY I don't care anymore

[velvet bobcat]

Ilca can't visually screw up 3ds games at least

[north fjord]

If we get BW remakes then I’m gonna get really concerned

[marble sand]

"challenge accepted!"

[north fjord]

Cause like all you need to do is just do the same game again but just go ham with the graphical quality

That’s it

That’s all you need

[harsh lion]

BW remakes won't be by Game Freak which means it's going to be ILCA or some other studio if they learned from BDSP

And then a Legends game two months later

[north fjord]

BW are good enough base games as is you don’t need a big gameplay overhaul

Just make it look good

[marble sand]

basically what smrpg did

[north fjord]

Exactly

[velvet bobcat]

I think they should put stuff from the sequels there somewhere

I dunno how but

[harsh lion]

The same way they put platinum stuff in bdsp🔥

I think they will definitely not leave b2w2 in the dust

[velvet bobcat]

I feel like gen 5 is only gen 5 if it's both games

[harsh lion]

Game Freak LOVES B2W2 idk why people are so worried

ILCA b3w3 and game freak legends game. Wyd

[north fjord]

Colress appears with a job application in his hand at the old plasma castle going “do you know where I can submit this”

That’s your sequel content

[velvet bobcat]

Indigo disk gave me some hope about the future of gen 5
I do think they care

[harsh lion]

USUM Colress appears with a gun in his hand at the old plasma castle going "Where is that ugly fuck"

[north fjord]

I don’t know why we’re calling it the old castle

There’s only one castle

[harsh lion]

New postgame event it gets buried underground (B2W2 reference!!!)

[marble sand]

seeing ilca design their own game would be interesting i think. one of bdsp's biggest flaws is that they had to remain unnecessarily faithful. but some of the decisions ilca came up with themselves kinda cooked

[harsh lion]

Yeah but what if they bring ghetsis back and he's smaller than in the DS games

[marble sand]

then my body will violently combust

[north fjord]

Ghetsis but he can fit in your pocket

[spice timber]

i wonder if part of the reason they cut them was so that when tera inevitably goes away in gen 10, it stings less

to avoid the whole outcry about megas being gone

[velvet bobcat]

His battle music would have the choirs alvin high pitched

[harsh lion]

itd make sense considering gen 10 is this year

[marble sand]

similar rationale to the existence of archaludon and hydrapple

gen 10 is 2026 for the 30th anniversary smh

[velvet bobcat]

God please anything but gen 10 this year

That would actually be the worst outcome

[marble sand]

they've never started a new gen this early... But there's always room to change that!

actually i lied - gen 2 to gen 3

[velvet bobcat]

They might as well quit making DLC and make a gen every year

[marble sand]

Wait no nvm that was a 3 year gap - google gave me crystal's release date instead

[marble sand]

Pokemon if it was awesome

[north fjord]

Just wait now

The last Pokémon game released for a system is usually the best one on the system

Even if the system successor is already out

[velvet bobcat]

Time to break another tradition then

[north fjord]

We’re gonna get Pokémon Legends Kyurem and everyone is gonna love it but it won’t sell because people are wanting to get the Nintendo Swuntch

[marble sand]

Well I think the nintendo swuntch STINKS!

[marble sand]

Literally me

[harsh lion]

Sv

Its true its the last pokemon game released for switch and its the best one on the system

just kidding! we all know LGPE is the best one

[north fjord]

You know Pokémon games usually release a solid half a year after the next system is already out

[spare hare]

Khu said it was lowering ivs to 0 that was cut, not evs

Bc obviously we got a way to lower all evs at once anyways

[harsh lion]

Okayy that makes infinitely more sense

[spare hare]

They're holding off for gen 5 remakes and/or gen 10 dlc

🔥

Also (epilogue) ||what ball yall thinking about for pecharunt||

Speaking of balls

What did y'all use for meloetta

[spare hare]

I went with luxury

[harsh lion]

Beast

[rough kelp]

I would use a pokeball

||this mf ruined pon's life, I gonna ruin its life next 😤 ||

[spare hare]

||honestly fast ball gotta be one of the worst fucking balls ever||

[wanton trail]

Same

[split swan]

when should we expect the next Pokemon game project?

[harsh lion]

announcement on pokemon day

february 27

[split swan]

betting some kind of Johto and Unova fusion somehow

[rough kelp]

pokemon let's go poltchageist and pokemon let's go applin (kitakami)
and pokemon legends: XD001 (orre)

[spare hare]

||so what do you think about there still being some unused shit in the game||

||like, there's a neo kitakami phone case and the scarlet/violet case (briar's case) that have data in the game, along with accompanying menu backgrounds, but no way to get them||

||future events? just unused shit?||

[harsh lion]

||phone cases are mystery gift for sure||

||if anything, anyway. idk if there was a phone case mystery gift but i know there was that terastal cap so. maybe||

[sharp lake]

||It would be nice to get a surprise update, whether it adds a new quest or just random QoL additions.||

[tropic pollen]

||Phone cases sound like prime candidates for new events||

[velvet bobcat]

||is the sandwich case obtainable from arven now?||

||thats the only case that matters honestly idk why bother with any other||

[spare hare]

||yep, all three||

[spare hare]

the neo kitakami one was indeed distributed as a gift today

[tropic pollen]

||so two left||

[north fjord]

… wasn’t a citrus based Pokémon part of the riddles?

Everyone thought it was the Swalot family

[candid nebula]

They really love their fruits this gen

[sharp lake]

Ogerpon picked Scarlet/j

[white garden]

Scarlet is the canon version confirmed?

[wanton trail]

||Okay so based on the epilogue, Khu was right about the pairing stuff (Nemona and Carmine are possessed the entire time, Arven and Penny get possessed then immediately fight you, you and kieran aren’t possessed)||

Idk if I can say that without spoilers

[spare hare]

yea but he said other things about the epilogue that make no sense

like "who do you choose" or whatever

[wanton trail]

True

[spice timber]

oh wait

this was probably referring to the dialogue choice you get during the double battle

where you call out to either penny or arven and both of them respond embarrassedly

[spare hare]

nah

[wanton trail]

Finally

Khu is becoming unreliable

INTERNET, STRIP THIS MAN OF ATTENTION

[spare hare]

he definitely clearly has some inside information but he has been getting more and more things wrong lately

if you feel like giving him the benefit of the doubt, it could be bc things change between prerelease and release, however i doubt it for this specific instance bc it was made fairly close to indigo disk's release (which contained all the epilogue data)

[wanton trail]

Iirc his connection is he knows someone in a translation company

Or works for a translation company

[spare hare]

now whether this just means he's filling in gaps with his own guesses or being fed wrong info or whatever, idk

[surreal vault]

Translation company was the OTHER leaker who has long sinced vanished iirc

[wanton trail]

Oh mb

[tropic pollen]

GF definitely knows there’s a mole in their ranks

Misinformation can help weed them out

Cuz you can start narrowing down who you tell what

And what groups would be able to spread that piece of misinformation out to Khu

[wanton trail]

If GF starts feeding misinformation to Khu and only Khu it will be the funniest thing ever

Khu’s manbaby act is getting on my nerves

[surreal vault]

No because the instant they find his mole in the company

https://tenor.com/view/mario-super-mario-mario-strikers-wario-strikers-wario-gif-21572114

[sharp lake]

There’s an Excadrill in their ranks.

[surreal vault]

a diglett even

[wanton trail]

What if Khu is three people

[ivory prawn]

He is going to split up into three

Nintendo will not be able to tell which is the real Khu

[wanton trail]

What if they just create a Pokemon called Khutrio that’s a convergent of diglett and see which Khu rats it out first and that’s the real khu

[sharp lake]

Leaky pipe Wugtrio/j

[velvet bobcat]

What if he just asked this like

Normally

What if this question was an actual question

"who would you save from pecharunt if you could"

I hate khu as much as the next guy but literally none of his info has been wrong so far methinks? Only shit like "ahaha what if this or none" and it ends up being none

[spare hare]

khu himself has even admitted the pkhex thing was wrong, although he claims it was cut content

[velvet bobcat]

Oh right the unused stuff

Good point tbh

[spare hare]

also for this

there's literally no point to volcarona being there

unless he was suggesting it was bug/dragon, which he also hinted could happen before

(but it wasn't)

[velvet bobcat]

Either misinformation or just plain bad choice of mons for his "riddle"

Hydrogen makes sense not necessarily in typing but, yknow, hydra
So I guess volcarona is just there because worm

Hydrogen my beloved

[spare hare]

pokemon fans when game freak makes a new pokemon called hydrogen (they don't know it's a real life word)

[velvet bobcat]

It'd be a version exclusive

The other version would have coughing baby

[sharp lake]

Hydrolsion vs Couxygen

[wanton trail]

Pokemon Hydrogen and Pokemon Coughing

[tropic pollen]

aw shoot, pack it up guys

||There's this image circulating around. Looks like a New Year thing for GF employees but small chance it hints at something||

[tropic pollen]

[spice timber]

clearly this means ||pokemon bronze||

[tropic pollen]

there's ||Ho-oh, Lugia, Bronzor and the Terastalization icon||

also this is upside down

||No Reshiram or Zekrom||

||Year of the dragon, ofc ofc||

[torn ore]

||Well so much for that lol. Ho-Oh and Lugia still a lil sus tho||

||Especially with the Johto hints everywhere||

[silver shore]

||legends celebii inc?||

[spare hare]

||if they do wait on gen 10 until 2026 for the 30th anniversary we do have two years to fill in so it'd be neat if we got a johto game and unova game ig||

[silver shore]

I wonder if we'll go back to Japan for gen 10

[velvet bobcat]

||we went back to Japan in the last two gens||

||hisui and kitakami||

||I'd be down to something more unique like India or Mexico||

[torn ore]

Where tf did they get this I dont remember Khu mentioning it ||https://vxtwitter.com/CentroLeaks/status/1750762125021122959?s=20||

[spare hare]

||khu said 7 + 8 + 1 for new pokemon||

||people thought pecharunt was the +1, but actually we only got 8 new pokemon in indigo disk if you include pecharunt||

||so we technically haven't seen the +1 yet||

||ofc idk where they're getting the other info from||

||we literally know nothing besides the fact it's just an additional pokemon||

[torn ore]

||Huh suddenly SV getting another update doesn't sound crazy||

||Kalos legends might have a chance as a Pokemon Day raid event lmao||

[spare hare]

||ok here's the movie comment||

[torn ore]

||Pokemon Day just got real interesting||

||inb4 they move this mythical to the next game||

[spice timber]

oh?

shit just got real

||i wonder why he highlighted this mythical out of all the dlc mons as being super important to something all the way back in the day||

[silver shore]

||Was zarude one of the last pokemon to be added in swsh?
Cause I feel like it might be a zarude situation||

[torn ore]

||He was added in Isle of Armor iirc||

[silver shore]

Oic

[surreal vault]

Guh???

[split swan]

||I wonder if the new Pokémon movie will continue the new movie continuity or Star the protags from Horizons||

[wanton trail]

Oh what the fuck

||Pokemon day’s gonna be crazy||

[velvet bobcat]

||will it be skrunkly or killer||

[hot zenith]

||both||

[white garden]

||Unite is so Miraidone||

Lol yep

||Wait so is it just miraidon getting added to unite or is it both the raidons?||

||what was leaked was falinks and miraidon||

[spare hare]

you think there's something going on in the recent update they put out?

even though the patch notes make it sound like it's just for relatively minor fixes, for some reason the patch is a gross ass 4.8 gb

it's ridiculous

for context, every update between base game and now was a cumulative 4.2-4.4 gb

including both waves of dlc

[sharp lake]

They needed all that space for the new Ball Guy superboss.

[vestal arch]

can't wait for there to secretly be different grass texture and nothing else

[marble sand]

they hired western game devs

[spare hare]

i don't understand

when i tried to download the game told me i needed 4.9 gb of free space

so i made the space then updated

but now that it's done, checking the game size, it doesn't require 4.9 gb of free space at all???

it's literally just at 11.2 gb again???

but it took the amount of time 4.9 gb would require to download

what the fuck is going on

[arctic bobcat]

ah that's because the space is for downloading the files before they get used for patching the game

idk the exact reason here but it's like how when downloading a game on PC you need more space than the game actually takes up because the game sets up programs that then are removed by the time it finishes installing
or decompression/compression

[spare hare]

this makes sense but i didn't even realize this was a thing on switch bc i have never noticed a discrepancy before

[arctic bobcat]

plus I guess in the case of game updates it's just overwriting every change to the files from the update no matter how minor

so that's why an update can need a lot of space to download but barely change the overall file size

[vestal arch]

maybe they had to do a bunch've files for the item machine position unstuck thing or something

[spare hare]

i wonder if this is just spaghetti pokemon code again

[spice timber]

wait

it was 4.9gb?

why the hell was it that big?
