Leaks for Pokémon

[spice timber]

oh wait it probably was just replacing files

i was wondering why it took 15 minutes to download

[ivory prawn]

Yea fun fact Hyness's multiplayer colors are not in the game anymore

Fell into the Core Another Dimension

But yea lol real Pokemon moment that those minor changes need 5gb worth of files to be replaced

[rough kelp]

sv eating switch's storage because they know you gonna move onto switch 2 soon

[torn ore]

||So with recent Khu developments, is there still any reason to believe it's Unova this year?||

||A lot of his Unova riddles ended up being Indigo Disk stuff||

[velvet bobcat]

||that'd be a huge relief||

[arctic bobcat]

||i think it feels like we're getting remakes every other gen now anyway||

||i mean unless they decide to remake Crystal or something for some reason||

[torn ore]

||Yeah that's what I worry about since Johto and Unova are kinda even on hints atm lol||

||Unless Paradox Unova is real and it's a crossover between Unova and Johto||

[arctic bobcat]

||Pokemon Let's Go Marill incoming||

[rough kelp]

so like

||what the hell was the heath dialogue about||

[spare hare]

who knows

we do ||still have that one new pokemon left that was teased||

[torn ore]

||I'm hoping this is a hint and not a troll lmao||

||Yeah Yugioh dragons I know but the colors! Really hope Unova is real this year||

[silver shore]

||BW remakes PLEASE gamefreak 🙏||

[white garden]

Again I’m pretty sure after Palworld, Gamefreak is aware they’re likely at the same posture as Alphadream

[spice timber]

y'all remember that weird jynx cry?

[stoic kindle]

no

[spice timber]

from pokemon home

https://x.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1756150411344384194?s=61&t=w0tUbMtd25F2VpHX3oWfog

Matt (@mattyoukhana_) on X

In cry data, we see two notable files. Based on naming conventions, these are potentially scrapped concepts for a second form of Celesteela, and Mega Jynx.

Finally, after all these years, I can confirm it was Mega Jynx all along: https://t.co/BblPdtAdG5

Twitter · Feb 10, 2024, 2:57 AM

it was rumored for a long time that it was for a scrapped mega, and now it's supposedly confirmed that that's the case

[stoic kindle]

Huh
Wonder what it would of looked like

[vestal arch]

interesting

[torn ore]

Wonder what it was even for anyways

Maybe Let's Go was supposed to have new megas? But then they scrapped that idea once they decided Megas won't return to SwSh

[arctic bobcat]

apparently its just something that was scrapped during the development of X/Y

someone in the comments did bring up that it was likely scrapped due to the design controversy of Jinx

[harsh lion]

this mon is never getting redemption huh.

doesn't get an evolution in gen 4 to match electivire and magmortar
mega evolution scrapped
locked to the final DLC in SwSh, not even in SV even though magmar and electabuzz make it

[rough kelp]

atleast jynx has a signature move

(it's worse than some existing one that's more widespread)

[harsh lion]

and also it wasn't its signature move in gen 2

[tropic pollen]

Has smoochum gotten more love than Jynx in recent years

like - at least Jynx was in New Snap

[harsh lion]

i dont think so i think the whole line is doomed

also

gen 1 psychic type gets a regional form, an ice/psychic with a new evolution

[spare hare]

The only way this line is getting anything if it's some regional form or convergent where they can basically do anything they want with the design

[harsh lion]

atp they're going to make lapras a three-stage evoline before jynx gets anything ngl

i dont expect this mon will get anything ever sadly

i still want it to get an evolution above all else, esp if its not getting a mega anymore

[tropic pollen]

2027

Believe

[harsh lion]

jynx evo with higher bst than magmortar and electivire 🙏

doesnt lose speed 🙏

[tropic pollen]

Maybe the Celesteela form was the baby version we see in the anime

[harsh lion]

maybe even gets a good +20 base speed 🙏

[tropic pollen]

Gains +40 speed, Loses Sp.att instead 🙏

isnt jynx’s Sp.att like 125

Oof, 115

Do NOT read the RB/LG dex entry

[marble sand]

im gonna read it

nvm you were right

[harsh lion]

😭😭😭

[harsh lion]

nah it doesnt lose anything

+10 hp +20 def +25 spatk +20 speed

WTF jynx has significantly less bst than electabuzz

+20 hp +25 def +25 spatk +20 speed then

545 bst

👍

[tropic pollen]

The sexism…

Magmar non binary?

[arctic bobcat]

I guess honestly it would make for a counterpart to poipole too

wait it was introduced in base SM never mind

and this is a form not a new Pokémon

[tropic pollen]

Maybe a scrapped “inactive” form then

Like Xerneas’

[harsh lion]

yeah if there was anything else to go off of other than a sound file then we could probably know for sure

[harsh lion]

im willing to bet its just this though. like maybe when celesteela switches in it's grounded and then "Celesteela took off!" and becomes the Celesteela we know? idk

(so like a Tera Shift deal but it's not tied to an ability)

or just you know its an out of battle form that cannot ever be seen in battle like Xerneas yea

[tropic pollen]

Are there Pokemon that do that without abilities?

Things like those are usually tied to abilities like Tera Shift and Hunger Switch

[harsh lion]

not really that's why I sent that last message LOL

[spare hare]

flower gift originally wasn't what caused cherrim to change forms but they changed it after gen 4

[tropic pollen]

WTF

Weird

[spare hare]

yea it's pretty strange

[rough kelp]

oh I just remembered sth

pokemon unite-related ||I guess we know why there's playable ceruledge data in the game now ||

[north fjord]

||They’re really shoving Ceruledge a lot into advertising while Armarouge gets nothing||

[silver shore]

||Armarouge simply got the short end of the stick when game freak designed the duo||

[velvet bobcat]

||I think armarouge is awesome but ceruledge is a much universally "cooler" design||

[arctic bobcat]

||it is a little weird since you don't see other duo pokemon treated like this||

[torn ore]

||Closest is Mega Charizard X over Y lmao||

[silver shore]

||zard y got the last laugh cuz it's better than zard x competitively lol||

[spice timber]

i mean

||armarouge sweeps the floor with ceruledge competitively||

[shell sand]

none of these are spoilers

anyway didnt know he that thing had sacles

[surreal vault]

It's using dragon tail that's why

[wanton trail]

||https://youtu.be/iHtKvUVG8wI?si=GTDCHeHEjIBjvjYH ||

||so people are discussing a fifth mask for Ogerpon||

||the theory is that it’s a ghost type mask.||

||OLD FRIEND MASK?||

||Or Khu was just dead fucking wrong and his reliability is beginning to fade||

Enough of his stupid riddles

Lmao

I can’t tell if this is a shitpost or not

[harsh lion]

we're so back

[harsh lion]

this is hilarious

[tranquil laurel]

What even is the counterpart

[harsh lion]

||victini, its johto and unova remakes||

[tranquil laurel]

Yooo

[spice timber]

https://tenor.com/view/metroman-gif-537981705702636481

[silver shore]

Wait is this real???

[spice timber]

probably not?

but it signifies that we're at the start of funny leak season

[silver shore]

Finally

Content drought is finally over

[vestal arch]

i love funny leak season it has actual things

[tropic pollen]

||okay. but. if Victini gets a whole-ass game. Maybe i'll allow it. ||

||then again that sounds like a lot of work doesnt it? two wholely different games||

[harsh lion]

||its supposed to be the bad outcome yes||

[spare hare]

yea i still think getting ||both unova and johto at the same time makes no sense bc of that||

||certainly not as counterparts||

[spice timber]

tbh

this leak already remedies the major problem with the idea of ||ilca johto/unova||

by ||de-chibifying them||

[rough kelp]

I can tell this is not real from a single detail: the poster

[arctic bobcat]

||i think the only way it makes sense is if the other game's region is the post-game||

||this would already require basically entirely replacing Unova's post game but oh well||

that being said its definitely fake

its way too easy to just make a blurry fake screenshot but also easy to just make an actual damn clear real screenshot that isn't moving 30 miles per hour

i'm assuming they're implying it would be revealed during the Pkmn presents

[spare hare]

||not posting this bc it's real but bc actually seeing chibi bdsp n instead of just talking about it is legitimately nauseating||

[arctic bobcat]

||oh lord||

||this is some weed shit||

[vestal arch]

||that's hilarious tbh||

[restive silo]

Make them ‼️

[spare hare]

although i'm sure there's gonna be a ton of fake leaks popping up

[restive silo]

Soon,,

[silver shore]

Legends unova 🙏

[torn ore]

We have Pyoro around

So few days he'll probably like or tweet something like "The world is black and white. I'm about to ILCA"

[spare hare]

honestly i wonder how the leak scene for an entire pokemon game will go with pyoro on the scene now

he didn't really do much for sv dlc

and for sv he was basically unknown, the only thing i remember him talking about was leaking greavard before it came out

[tropic pollen]

If he even cares

[rough kelp]

my uncle who worked at gamefreak said they will drop palworld crossover event in pokemon masters

👍

[velvet bobcat]

as the uncle myself, I can confirm

[torn ore]

||I hope this is just some bug or auto thing||

[torn saddle]

Well…I do have a leak..but its not exactly exciting, ||Miraidon in pokemon unite||

[velvet bobcat]

||miraidon and ceruledge coming both in, yea?||

[torn saddle]

||Falinks before ceruledge but yes||

[velvet bobcat]

||scarlet L||

[restive silo]

I hope it’s auto bc it’s all people talk about lol

[silver shore]

It's most likely automatic yes

[restive silo]

Literally had a dream last night that ||they added gen 1-3 on the switch and half of the world was happy and half of the world was pissed lmao 😭 it’s gonna happen,, help||

[marble sand]

||Why was one half angry!||

[restive silo]

||I think some comments in my dream were like “well THAT’S not unexpected 😤 😤”||

This will happen

https://tenor.com/view/armstrong-made-it-up-gif-25653819

[spare hare]

Bro had a taste of the good ending 💀

[restive silo]

I WOULDN’T MIND IT ||instead of a whole new game||

[spare hare]

I want nso so badly

[restive silo]

Ok now where are the leaks that ||it’s ILCA gen 5 baby||

[spare hare]

Even if we get it I just know they're gonna dripfeed that shit but still

[tropic pollen]

do we know what centro was even on about

[restive silo]

What did bro say this time

[spare hare]

Tbh I really doubt it's anything we haven't seen already

[spice timber]

it was probably entirely stuff khu's been saying over the last 6 months, combined with stuff they pulled from 4chan

[velvet bobcat]

centro is not a leaker, he just repeats stuff from whatever source it feels like

mostly piggybacking on khu's stuff, much to his dismay

[white garden]

Watch Centro when Gen 10 is about to release

[marble sand]

I forgot they're not the same person

||I know we don't give him much shit anymore but hey, some crumbs before the big day lol||

[arctic bobcat]

||plot twist: it's gen 3, we're getting an Emerald remake||

[rough kelp]

idk how to break this to you but ||6 and 9 also collide at those spots||

||legends zygarde and let's go tatsugiri ||

[torn ore]

||Kalosbros this is how we win||

[north fjord]

||I swear to fuck that if the speculation is true and we’re getting both Gen 2 and Gen 5 content||

||Cause where did that even come from||

[arctic bobcat]

||pretty obvious where it did come from||

||the DLC paradox pokemon||

[north fjord]

||It just seemed logical to me since SwSh’s dlc expanded on the Birds and Regis so it made sense to expand on two more minor legendary groups||

||Lake trio having a little bit of spotlight with PLA/BDSP||

[arctic bobcat]

||yes and as with all things speculation related, people will look for anything that corresponds to their confirmation bias||

||in this case a gen 5 remake||

||but since that theory doesn't explain the gen 2 pokemon, they had to build a corresponding gen 2 lets go remake theory solely to prop up the gen 5 remake theory||

||it will be very evident that there was no gen 2 or gen 5 remake being teased and people will be wondering why all this "evidence" got them to this point anyway||

[grizzled turret]

||I don’t necessarily disbelieve or believe anything at this point but I feel like the modern pokemon company is the type to spout a bunch of cryptic, weird remake evidence and bait ||

||and actually lead to something with it. Really does their recent “we understand the modern era” sort of approach to marketing||

[torn ore]

||This is gonna be like Big Hero 6's San Fransokyo lmao||

[tropic pollen]

man with every new game cycle, this resonates more with me

[spare hare]

Refreshing serebii for corocoro

[torn ore]

Anyone remember the Alola starter concept art leaks

Good times

[arctic bobcat]

||i still think this is confirmation bias just because pokemon is such a huge franchise that invariably they will be advertising something every 12 hours, like sure they get away with mostly using gen 1 most of the time but people latch onto that one time every 3 weeks they use something from a different gen and go mad over it for whatever reason||

||its less hinting at something and more "just running a multimedia franchise 24/7"||

[runic prawn]

LOOOOOL

I miss the fake corocoro leaks

[prime monolith]

[hot zenith]

[rough kelp]

||5-2 do be 3
9-6 do be 3....||

||hoenn confirmed again||

[silver shore]

||Chibi hoenn remakes||

[velvet bobcat]

||gen 4 remakes maybe??||

[tropic pollen]

Interesting as hell but no way its real

[wanton trail]

||I very much doubt they’d give us only 4 new regional variants and two water-fighting starters in the same generation||

[marble sand]

||we did get two fire/ghost starters in the same year so who knows lol their decisions can be kinda goofy||

[wanton trail]

||if so im beginning to detect their ideal starter types are pure grass, water-fighting, and fire ghost||

[tropic pollen]

||Pla introduces two new grass/fighting types where one is strongly superior to the other and its not your starter||

||but hey who says thats all the regional variations that could be in this. The infamous Sword and Shield leak had a lot of Pokemon but far from all||

[wanton trail]

True…

[silver shore]

||fire fighting tho ||

[surreal vault]

In between all the typical 4chan leaks, no

And I'll have no reason to consider this one if there's nothing notable

|| "outsourced unova-related game" ||

||waking up at 3 am to see ilca unova||

[surreal vault]

||Unova has fallen, millions must chibi||

[wanton trail]

||1:1 buggy remakes of unova its so Unovover||

[tropic pollen]

||nah see the problem with BDSP was that it used base DP code which was already a mess||

||BW's code is comparatively very solid||

[wanton trail]

||I see||

[spare hare]

yea it's so funny bc like

||glitches from the original dp were retained bc they just copied all the code||

||like suction cups's out of battle effect not working or the original void glitches returning||

||as long as this means we also get something new like pla i'm good||

||base bw are still phenomenal games unlike dp which were improved heavily by platinum so the main question in my mind is what they're gonna do for the artstyle lol||

[tropic pollen]

||and who knows if they'd go chibi again||

||my biggest hope ive ever had for a gen 5 remake (in a world after BDSP) is a sort of stylized port of BW that makes it look like octopath. Like a texture pack, more or less.||

[wanton trail]

||if we’re talking Texture Packs, then Unova in the style of Xenoblade Chronicles 2||

[tropic pollen]

||thats really not what i mean at all but that would look? ||

[tropic pollen]

ah neat

[prime monolith]

||oh dear god please no, i dont want a gen 5 remake with chibi artstyle, out of all the games, that one is the one i want to see with full human modeling and as-close-as realistic proportions.....but is TPC they are gonna cheap out. I hope its at least a sidegame at most||

[spice timber]

tbf pyoro literally also said "yeah idfk if this is accurate it's just something i heard"

[wanton trail]

Yeah

We don’t need to full on worry yet, or even worry at all

It’s literally just an artstyle

[prime monolith]

i do think its ok for you to dislike a game because you dont like the artstyle at all. Like the gameplay might be goodlike but if you are watching it in an artstyle you dont like, you arent going to enjoy it

[marble sand]

we've got less than 2 days before we find out I suppose

[torn ore]

Can they go back to having an art style instead of some semi-realistic texture mess

Or at least have some cel-shading to hide some of it

[wanton trail]

I genuinely dont mind SV’s textures, I think they’re gorgeous actually

but ||I wouldn't also mind unova remakes||

||"outsourced unova game" means they gave bw3 to monolith soft clearly||

[spare hare]

i just remembered, if khu is right ||there's still a pokemon left for sv they haven't shown yet||

||so the presents is probably like 1/2 mobile game shit, then some sv news with that new mon + any raids or events, then new game?||

[silver shore]

Yeah probably

||So if the unova game is outsourced does that mean we'll get like a legends Johto?||

[surreal vault]

||Where do people get Jhoto from again?||

[silver shore]

||only really because of the paradox beasts||

[spare hare]

||it's mostly from the fact that johto also has the legend paradoxes as a counterpart to unova's||

||it has also been getting some attention with new regional forms/evos but it's definitely not on the same level of attn that unova is rn||

oh also ||it's johto's 25th anniversary this year||

||but it's also the year of the dragon so ||

[grizzled turret]

bro I can’t take the suspense

[spare hare]

the build up to this one has definitely been

interesting

it's a weird case where we know for sure gen 10 isn't coming and that it'll probably be some intermediate game but we really have no idea of what exactly is coming

besides likely something to do with unova

but now everyone's expectations are way different bc of bdsp lol

[grizzled turret]

Why do we know Gen 10 isn’t coming?

I mean I’m happy about it either way

[spare hare]

i mean

just seems way too soon

they haven't even had another game in gen 9 yet

[silver shore]

Gen 10 is probably gonna come release with the switch 2

[grizzled turret]

I would not be surprised if Gen 10 gets announced tomorrow

Nothing surprises me at this point

[restive silo]

Hell yeah gen 10

With 8 gimmicks

[spare hare]

no matter what we get tomorrow that's unova related at least we'll probably get some gas remixes

[grizzled turret]

||Will we witness Johva?||

[restive silo]

||I would love a johva though||

[spice timber]

that's

[spare hare]

||2022's wasn't actually that long either (like 14ish min)||

[spice timber]

||really short?||

[spare hare]

||so this probably doesn't mean too much||

||if anything this may mean we just get less filler announcements||

||but definitely shorter than the ones we had last year||

[spice timber]

ig that'd explain ||all of the spinoffs hinting at their new content early||

[torn ore]

||If they dedicate only a minute to each mobile game, we still get over 5 mins of new mainline||

[spare hare]

||the 2022 one had:
48 sec of pokemon go
1 min 42 sec of masters ex
1 min 40 sec of cafe remix
1 min 43 sec of unite
59 sec of bdsp (shaymin)
2 min of pla (daybreak update)
10 sec of pla webseries
3 min 13 sec of sv reveal||

[rough kelp]

mmm

[spare hare]

||so yea this probably just means we don't have 20 min of mobile announcements lol||

[rough kelp]

||they introduced hisuian snow in 2022, and paldean wind in 2023 pokemon day presents...||

|| it's time for kitakami fields 2024 ||

[torn ore]

||Yknow none of the GF employees retweeted the Presents yet, what if we actually get nothing lmao||

[restive silo]

Ok where’s the leak for ||BW3 I can’t sleep without knowing something but I bet it’s a freakin Pokémon go presents 😭||

[vestal arch]

||sorry nothing||

[surreal vault]

(Khu again)

What is bro on about here

||Either this is a GO thing or Ghost/Water type with intimidate||

||The latter sounds horrific in concept||

[rough kelp]

new ||regional form? let me check sth||

||could be sth with water and intimidate getting a ghost-type form ||

[tropic pollen]

||Finally. Basculegion-NB||

||Notice how they’re all from gen 5 too lol||

[silver shore]

Yeah you're right
||Maybe it is a gen 5 regional form
But for which pokemon||

[tropic pollen]

||a ghost water gen 5 mon is weird when Jellicent exists||

[surreal vault]

||And basculegion itself||

||Who isn't gen 5 actually but you get the point||

[tropic pollen]

||i guess both are underwater creatures and unova has the abyssal ruins? ||

oh i think he's just messin around (what a prankster! classic Khu :))))))))))))) )

[surreal vault]

||Codename Intimidate goes raw||

[runic prawn]

||I bet it's an odd translation quirk but I read it as if ORAS and BDSP were getting remakes LOL||

[torn ore]

||Can also sorta apply to LGPE since its codename was Beluga||

[spare hare]

||well I'll guess we see in 10 min what these unova remakes look like ||

[spare hare]

It's over for khu

[vestal arch]

finally

[spice timber]

fucking finally

there's no way this mf can weasel out of this

[tropic pollen]

"no guys i promise the gen 5 remakes are in development they're just being saved for later"

[tranquil laurel]

Get fucked idiot

[tropic pollen]

[spare hare]

Dude 100% doubled down after pyoro made his unova comment too lmao

[tranquil laurel]

Oh I see

[surreal vault]

Quick, look for mentions of Pokemon Z-A on 4chan

[velvet bobcat]

Bro is gonna be like "chat you see they were sad and looking down the whole time!!!! You just got TROLLED !!!"

[surreal vault]

Khu is finished I'm afraid

[velvet bobcat]

I do wonder what happened tho

What led to this

Back in my day this guy was reliable
And that was last year

[surreal vault]

Probably fed false information

[restive silo]

Ok what legends z leaks are we getting hmmm

[wanton trail]

Thank god

[restive silo]

Ok just the leakers being weird nvm

[wanton trail]

Khu’s manbaby act is over

[velvet bobcat]

No fucking way

[velvet bobcat]

Pros: this
Cons: we learn of a total max of 5 new pokemon till the game releases

[vestal arch]

khu rn
https://youtu.be/mO3xam9dHSY?si=_cYEjEWwQWRi3qAJ

[velvet bobcat]

Chat do you think this will be made for the switch in mind or like

Idk like with a switch 2 version too or

in other words chat do you think I'll have to buy a switch 2 to play this

[spare hare]

Switch

[vestal arch]

we get to that when it exists or not

[tropic pollen]

https://vxtwitter.com/BeigeBastard/status/1762487676643467672?s=20

[spice timber]

ooh

i bet tpc purposefully fed him misinfo

[tropic pollen]

oh thats rly funny

actually they could have told about multiple fake games to several people

the trail Khu walks on reveals who the insider is to the company

they get fired

ezpz

[spice timber]

that'd also explain why pyoro got baited

and why he didn't put a lot of stock into it

[surreal vault]

Yeah thats what I'm thinking

@Takivad11 Ilca was out long before

Twitter · Feb 27, 2024, 4:16 PM

Chat I do not have yucky twitter what is he saying what is he replying to I wanna see this

[spice timber]

oh, he's responding to a post asking if ilca is doing anything for 2024

[velvet bobcat]

riddler apparently says that this game's codename is ikkuka or something

is that true?

[spice timber]

yeah, but i think people figured it out before he said it

[spare hare]

Tbh i would not put stock in anything khu says until he's proven right again

[arctic bobcat]

guys I'm the new leaker you should trust because I said it wasn't Gen 2 or 5 related

[wanton trail]

Oh right

Welp

We can always count on the dataminers to get everything

[arctic bobcat]

my first proclamation as new leaker is that the A stands for the new Legendary Pokemon "Andrew"
that is definitely its name now

[velvet bobcat]

ill leak it

[torn saddle]

Arceus

[blissful egret]

A stands for Amongus.

[harsh lion]

hope this never happens again lol

[tropic pollen]

I much prefer the era of swsh leaks

there was exactly 1 4chan post that had an actual leak

And it was gradually proven right

[harsh lion]

literally anything is better than three annoying egotistical idiots tbh

but yeah i loved that

[tropic pollen]

Now i need to be careful with how i phrase this, but i believe Teal Mask has shown us how to deal with three idiots

[surreal vault]

Have people not been backtracking to see if 4chan leaked Z-A

[spare hare]

For one I ain't looking through all that

But also I don't think anyone did leak it

[surreal vault]

Yeah I think it would've been found by now if true

It'd be much more difficult to leak it if gamefreak WAS sending false information to begin with

[spice timber]

there's also a chance that a real leak would've accidentally called it legends zygarde, or pokemon z, or legends z

[restive silo]

Those chronically only 4chan mfs would definitely have already posted it

[grizzled turret]

Bruh 4channers guess literally everything under the sun there’s probably a leak on there called like “Arceus’ left buttcheek” or something stupid like that

[rough kelp]

as far as we are aware,
Arceus, the pokémon, is only a small part of Arceus, the god

so one of the Arceus in another timeline can be real Arceus' left buttcheek

[tropic pollen]

i like that we have heard absolutely nothing from Khu or Centro ever since Pokemon day

[marble sand]

they were dumbfounded

[tropic pollen]

Well this is interesting to look back at in retrospect

[rough kelp]

[tropic pollen]

https://tenor.com/view/burger-flipper-burger-maker-burger-flipping-gif-23720670

[marble sand]

imagine paying to see centro's leaks and they aren't even correct

[velvet bobcat]

||could it be that what the leaker refers as dlc2 is actually legends z?||

||it lines up||

it feels more like a lucky coincidence to me but the possibility is always at hand

[silver shore]

It might just be a coincidence

||But it would be neat if legends 2 is made for switch 2||

[velvet bobcat]

||there were rumors about the switch two being delayed||

||maybe, previous to this supposed delay, legends z was meant to release during the switch 2 lifetime||

[wanton trail]

Khu is in shock that his reliability is absolutely gone

[arctic bobcat]

he's absolutely Khlueless

[torn ore]

||There's some possible concept art leak of PLZA on /vp/ rn but it might just be a Twitter artist having a lil fun||

[tropic pollen]

got some pics?

||concept art stuff havent leaked since... 2016, so immediately i question its validity ||

[velvet bobcat]

||jedi what are you talking about. today is march 5th of 2013. theres tons of leakers all talking about mega evolution and the legendaries||

[tropic pollen]

ur rite

[torn ore]

||Thread No.55538116 on /vp/ because Discord keeps giving me errors lmao||

[wanton trail]

Posting this here || https://youtu.be/wXD1aOw7Ll0?si=YGImmM60MKPr5Wbv||

||considering how many times Khu has been wrong lately, I assume he’s just lying for attention||

Excuses

[spice timber]

i think it's pretty safe to assume that ||khu doesn't really know anything about z-a, or at least doesn't know enough to make the kinds of hints he made back during pla and base sv||

||pokemon games have a long history of being made concurrently to each other, if z-a only just got started then they must've been doing nothing during sv's dlc releases||

[rough kelp]

<3 I love ||khu's current arc (downfall arc)||

[wanton trail]

That’s true

||My only worry is that they made this game title up because they wanted to completely shock the fanbase with their supposedly teased Unova or Johto games.||

||BUT if this is wrong and they were in fact working on PLZA WHILE both DLCs and SV were being worked on, that’s a total of four years for development.||

Which is fucking awesome.

||tbf they also didn’t show gameplay footage during the announcement trailer but I wanna say that’s because they want to keep it mysterious and hype the fanbase up so when they do drop gameplay footage, they reinvigorate the fanbase||

[spice remnant]

||Do you know the logistics of proposing and planning out the basis of a game lmfao||

[spice remnant]

||Also where in the world are you getting 4 years from||

[wanton trail]

||the end of bsdp/PLA development to late 2025||

[spice remnant]

||Ah right in total when the game comes out ok||

[wanton trail]

Exactly

NEW LEAK:

Our well known Pokémon leaker claims that 3 Pokémon projects have already been greenlit for the Switch successor.

Twitter · May 7, 2024, 9:52 AM

So it begins

[spice remnant]

Who are they talking about

[runic prawn]

me

[runic prawn]

gen 10, gen 5 remake

what else

another legends game?

oh this can be spinoffs I guess

so huh, gen 10, ranger shuffle and PMD rumble

I mean gen 10 in switch 2 is the most obvious thing ever

[spice remnant]

I mean

[wanton trail]

What about PLZA?

[spice remnant]

Definitely Z-A

[wanton trail]

Well

Wait did the post by Furakawa say the switch is releasing next year

[spice remnant]

No, just that it's being announced this year

this fiscal year

[runic prawn]

you think it will be in both consoles?

I could see that I guess

but yeah like "there will be 3 new pokémon games on switch 2" is a bit meaningless like

of course there will be it's pokémon

but if this means mainline it matters more

let's go johto finally

[spice remnant]

Idk tbh big thing is like
I think every switch game released 2024 was definitely built with the successor in mind
And I feel like a modern version of backwards compatibility means that essentially the idea of having a wii U vs switch ver of botw or a gamecube vs wii version of twilight princess or like red rescue team vs blue rescue team for GBA vs DS simply won't happen anymore
Instead i believe every tail end switch game is being developed with the switch successor in mind as well

[runic prawn]

sounds reasonable

just wonder for pokémon if there was a game in two consoles if trading and stuff would be compatible with both versions. I would assume so though

[spice remnant]

One thing I heard elsewhere was that the Z-A trailer/marketing mentions it's for the Nintendo Switch family of systems, and they've never said that before rather than just saying 'for the nintendo switch', idk if that's true

[north fjord]

Mystery Dungeon Explorers DX
Pokken 2 (but good this time)
Colosseum 3

It’s happening guys

[velvet bobcat]

I can't believe the next console will have Pokémon games

[spice remnant]

https://play.nintendo.com/activities/opinion-polls/poll-which-mask-kirby-return-dream-land/
Did find this that also uses this phrase for RtDL DX

[rose junco]

I mean, there's Switch Lite and OLED

[spice remnant]

Yea it is a family of systems

But their point was that they never say games are for the switch family of systems vs just saying they're for switch

[rose junco]

it's just like how they sometimes say 3DS family of systems lol

[spice remnant]

Funny switch family

[tropic pollen]

Actually its gen 10, HOME and a Café Remix port

[runic prawn]

TRUE

[spice remnant]

Another point I've seen a few times is how Paper Mario, Mario RPG, and Fashion Dreamers all have colored ABXY UI buttons and across the three games they're the exact same colors

But well it is just the funny nintendo colors again

But idea is maybe switch 2 will use those funny colors again

idea there is like
yea mario rpg is an snes game but why do ttyd and fashion dreamer reference the super famicom

Anyway the big question to me is just
how long between the console being announced and released

[tropic pollen]

Announced in september, releasing in march

[spice remnant]

was 17 months for wii u and 5 months for switch
They held back on announcing the switch earlier because they were afraid of copycats

[tropic pollen]

No reason not to try and repeat the switch’s success

[torn ore]

||Pokemon Day 2025 still having focus on Z-A according to unreliable Khu makes me believe that either we get a Summer 2025 or Late 2025 release||

||But there's no way we'll get a new trailer during Worlds right||

[silver shore]

It's more than likely tbh

There's no news yet and worlds is the perfect opportunity to build hype around plza

[tropic pollen]

Aliens please

Luigi’s mansion please

[marble sand]

Jekyll and hyde sycamore/lysandre please

[rough kelp]

k slightly related you know what's would be crazy meow

a pokemon with ability like zero to hero but instead of wimp and hero form it's sane and insane form

and this happens everytime it switches out instead of just first time in battle

[marble sand]

jekyll and hyde mon IS untapped potential tbh

[rough kelp]

a combination of palafin + morpeko mechanic 🔥

...

is morpeko a jekyll and hyde reference...

lowercase man

[spice remnant]

I remember when Dr. Lava wasn't a thing

And then he suddenly became a thing and I was like 'lmao what is this cringe ass youtuber'

and then I was so confused when he started getting popular

[marble sand]

I was thinking of morpeko but I was like. Nah it's not sciencey enough

Side note I didn't realize I was talking in this thread tbh i thought it was the main

New leaks via old leaker K:

• Pokémon Legends Z-A won't be out in early 2025, still plenty of time to go.
• Pokémon TCG Pocket is their big game for this year
• Gen 10 coming in 2026 for the 30th anniversary

Twitter · May 15, 2024, 7:17 AM

Chat what do we think

[arctic bobcat]

all of these are safe guesses

when will we get a leaker to do the unimaginable thing of just leaking unrevealed information

[marble sand]

The top one surprises me actually. I was worried it would be an early release like PLA. I'm glad they got an extra several months to cook

[arctic bobcat]

i mean, PLA itself only released early because SV released later that same year

they always release later into the year to take advantage of Holiday sales

BDSP and SV both released in the same month 12 months apart

there's really nothing else taking the holiday slot this time so its pretty much guaranteed to release in November again

[marble sand]

fair enough

[arctic bobcat]

||if the switch 2 itself releases in early 2025 then maybe the pokemon news for that moment will be that SV gets that 4chan rumored graphical enhancement update||

[runic prawn]

this is all fair, although in what world is the TCG game "big" although to be fair I don't even remember much about it

I do wonder if Z-A will be cross gen, although maybe if switch 2 is backwards compatible that may not matter much (but maybe if you play it on switch 2 it will have higher performance?)

I actually have no clue how exactly games that come to both PS4 and PS5 do it exactly but I guess I mean it like that lol

[arctic bobcat]

sometimes its just an update that detects hardware

other times it just lets you download a PS5 exclusive version

ok so after looking it up i think most of, if not every time it just makes you download a PS5 exclusive version to use on the PS5 if they have enhanced performance

as for just backwards compatibility on PS5 from what i've searched up is that sometimes they get minor enhancements anyway but they aren't guaranteed to be fully compatible so the console has to scale down its power to pretend like its a PS4

[tropic pollen]

Its “big” in the sense that it’ll make them a gazillion dollars

[runic prawn]

ok true

[spare hare]

pretty much in the boat of "these are all not very remarkable statements"

khu fell off

[rough kelp]

<3 been loving this double downfall arc

[marble sand]

the reveal of za really just threw off all the leakers

[velvet bobcat]

french jumpscare

[rough kelp]

the bane of leakers: paris

[north fjord]

They couldn’t tolerate the zaza

[marble sand]

https://tenor.com/view/mario-dima-ban-gif-18312113

[spice timber]

the thing is like

nothing the leakers have been saying really means anything

even at the tail end of sv's dlc, khu's stuff got so vague that it became fuckin impossible to tell what the actual answers were, to the point where it was more of just something to speculate on before the actual game release

and khu went so hard into the whole johto/unova stuff that once pokemon smoked that zaza, there was no real way to weasel out of it like with the sv dlc stuff

[arctic bobcat]

their creed seems to be: fake it until you make it

[spice timber]

(pogo event, not related to z-a)
||https://vxtwitter.com/thepokemodgroup/status/1798156308270432589 ||

[rough kelp]

||clearly this is their planned event to celebrate the reveal trailer of Explorers DX||

[vestal arch]

||ok but cape zarude where||

[harsh lion]

||oddly this is not the first time shiny celebi has been obtainable in go||

||I guess that's why it's a paid research - the first one wasn't||

[harsh lion]

||it was added through a movie tie-in research way back actually. I don't think they'll re-run it though - and Zarude itself will be gone for quite a while since they gave it a ticketed research like two months ago||

[vestal arch]

||riiiight I forgot about those with everything else to do, mb||

[harsh lion]

||I only expect no dada re-run since it was a movie tie-in event||

[vestal arch]

||yeah that makes sense||

[rough kelp]

we are getting a ||new green scarf zarude distribution to celebrate Z-A, zaza zarude||

[tropic pollen]

New unite skin leak

INSANEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I'd make this my pfp if i wasn't me

[spice remnant]

NOT THE ASIAN MOTHER CORE WTF

[wanton trail]

||CERULEDGE DRIP||

[surreal vault]

This goes so fucking hard

[spice timber]

i hate discord

[spice timber]

omg ||ricardo limbus company|| hi

that ||slowbro|| is dripped out of its fucking MIND

[tropic pollen]

its 4chan leak season

[surreal vault]

Does this line up with
Anything?

[tropic pollen]

who can tell, we know jackshit about the game

I don't think this is real, but it does bring up an interesting thing to consider

That being ||relatively few new pokemon because new Mega evolutions could take up development time/budget||

[surreal vault]

It sounds creative for sure

[tropic pollen]

i dig the idea of ||Hoopa doing portal shenanigans again||

[arctic bobcat]

||i will say that if this is fake i respect them for putting effort into their fanfic story and hopefully they continue it in an actual rtf file or something||

[spare hare]

There probably wouldn't be that many new pokemon to begin with anyways bc it's not a new gen

[tropic pollen]

Hisui had 8 new pokemon, at least

or was it 7. idr

[spare hare]

7

[tropic pollen]

7 yea

[arctic bobcat]

and only one that wasn't an evolution

[tropic pollen]

i expect a similar number, if not less

[surreal vault]

||Bundle, the moths, and Unaboongus being mega references retroactively would blow my mind.||

[spare hare]

||it's kind of a cool idea but iron Valiant and roaring moon were already distinguished by their higher bsts||

I feel like it'd be kind of weird and inconsistent

[arctic bobcat]

||i really don't know how Iron Bundle would be a mega evolution reference when it already looks nearly copied from its inspiration||

[spice remnant]

||Yea
Though Pokemon isn't averse to fucking up their own themes for the fun of it||

[spare hare]

||naganadel with 121 base speed moment||

[arctic bobcat]

||it almost feels like they kinda just didn't know what future pokemon looked the most different so they picked one at random||

[spice remnant]

||🐲 💉 ||

[surreal vault]

||Post is cooked nvm||

[arctic bobcat]

woooo

wait was this a deconfirmation or is this just an opinion

[spare hare]

It's not an explicit rule it'd just be weird

[spice remnant]

||Honestly the weirdest sounding thing to me about the post is the internal names (I say, not actually having read any other part of the leak)
These just don't sound like real internal names to me idk why||

[spare hare]

Also like you said ||I feel like the remaining paradoxes also look way too similar to the base form anyways to twist back into megas||

[tropic pollen]

||internal names can be literally anything, and these could be paraphrased too so i dont think so||

[spice remnant]

||Wait ok im actually reading the leak and like
Lol dog zygarde bike||

[arctic bobcat]

what the dog doin

[surreal vault]

||How big even is Zydog again||

[spice remnant]

||1.2m
Tauros is 1.4m and Cyclizar is 1.6m||

[surreal vault]

||Let them cook||

[spice remnant]

||I like how all of a sudden they just know the names of the new pokemon||

[tropic pollen]

||75% Zygarde for gliding sounds really funny||

[spice timber]

huh, funny leak

||it would be the lamest shit imaginable if they just did pla wild zones 2 instead of actually going in on encountering mons in an urban setting||

it's defo creative, ||it having a dhelmise evo makes it peak on that front||

[tropic pollen]

||It also just does not check out with the tagline of "An adventure taking place entirely within Lumiose City"||

||Also why would a landlocked game have a sea pokemon...||

[torn ore]

||I'm dismissing it as fake because no Mega Kalos starters||

[spice timber]

i mean ||we have g-corsola, an ocean pokemon who's found on dry land||

to me, it's ||almost too outlandish in what it's proposing, giving megas to 5 mons who already got paradoxes while also not giving the kalos starters megas i feel would piss off a lot of people||

also, ||why do they put such a big emphasis on the megas having little animations after they mega, and then use that to hint hint nudge nudge imply at what megas are in the game instead of just outright saying it||?

[arctic bobcat]

||dude is putting all this effort writing this out when they could be writing like top tier fanfiction or something||

[velvet bobcat]

||then again, a fake leak gathers way more attention than a fanfic of an upcoming game||

[rough kelp]

something real funny about these two sentences

[restive silo]

||split between the two but also everything happens in one of them|| 👍

[rough kelp]

I think it's funny because ||this sounds like something you make off of promotion material of "take place entirely in lumiose"||

so the moment ||they introduce a single different city this "leak" will go up in flame||

[spice timber]

this is a very vulnerable part of the leak, cuz the moment we get real gameplay it'll instantly get debunked

[harsh lion]

||heatran||
lol meme

[tropic pollen]

||he’s in Jaune Plaza!!!!||

[harsh lion]

||he's in PLA bro 😭||

[white garden]

Okay so uh any official updates on the ||Ho oh in unite|| leak

[spice timber]

funny image leak for z-a, probably fake
||https://vxtwitter.com/dustygogoat/status/1804348836363518426?t=-oEu1Km9F6RWcOU3fofFLA&s=19 ||

[surreal vault]

That is comical

[spice remnant]

Lmfao

||The random ass PLA ink splash that makes no sense for Z-A||

[harsh lion]

Its real.

[tropic pollen]

Bro we are outright desperate

[surreal vault]

||Also the cop goosestepping in the background for no reason||

[surreal vault]

||The PLA UI being verbatim||

[shell sand]

Yeah thats pretty bad of a fake

[north fjord]

Gonna be really funny if it’s real

[shell sand]

well now that two leakers are outta da way we can finally have fake Leaks again

WOOHOO

[spice timber]

by far my favorite part of this leak is how ||there's just a stolen/ai generated render of the protag at the left because they didn't want to make a real model for the trainer in the leak||

[torn ore]

Fake leaks aside, some Z-A merch are starting to pop up, starting with a shirt ||I think that says Z-A at the bottom?https://vxtwitter.com/paulrobertryan/status/1804732061971833200 ||

||Looks like it's from the Pokemon Center's Design Lab line||

Oh apparently it's not a leak and was officially posted lmao my bad

[shell sand]

so what do you think theyre gonna make the Letter A pokemon

[arctic bobcat]

amiibo

[velvet bobcat]

A mogus

[runic prawn]

this sucks but I also like looking at fake leaks lol

Well, getting excited for the 30th, never thought they’d begun preparing for it this early.

Back on his bullshit

[rough kelp]

gamefreak can do the funniest thing right now (delay trailers by two days)

[spare hare]

That's a Sunday

[tropic pollen]

“Preperation” means nothing for us btw we could go without any news for over a year

All Khu is saying is that pieces are starting to move behind the scenes

Which could also just be shit he made up

[surreal vault]

And you could say that without actually-
Exactly

[spice timber]

let's see how reliable khu is for this leak season

i'm admittedly kind of excited to see what he ends up spewing just because i want z-a news in general, but i would absolutely not be miffed to see him finally collapse

[spare hare]

tbh i am fine with leakers dying

my favorite part of pokemon leaks is the datamine part anyways

[tropic pollen]

Same

[spice timber]

now that we consistently have a large amount of new mon designs hidden before release, datamines go nuts

[shell sand]

i dont think khu revealed any designs anyway

[spice timber]

like when sv got datamined and all the paradoxes came out

[shell sand]

just ranodm vague hints

[spice timber]

he dropped pawmot and farigiraf's designs really early on

[shell sand]

Oh hes the one who did that?

[spice timber]

i admittedly can't remember

but i know it was a big thing

[shell sand]

all i know is he just puts out descirptions and hints or whatever the hell

[spice timber]

there were also leaks of veluza's dex picture that might've come from him too

[shell sand]

which doenst really spoil designs due to nature of art

[spice timber]

admittedly, i find the way khu leaked shit pretty exciting

it was just emojis and vague hints and stuff, which left a lot of room for interpretation at what the final design would be

especially with all the interesting mon designs and evolution mechanics in gen 9

it obviously started going downhill during sv dlc when those tweets would either be way too obscure to glean anything from or just literally be wrong

[tropic pollen]

He hinted at scream tail too

And who can forget

He/Him

[spice timber]

the scream tail pfp was so intriguing at the time

i recall brute bonnet leaking in a similar way

Hillarious

[shell sand]

grusha depression vs nanu depression

[spare hare]

The picture leaks were kaka

Kaka is the one who leaked actual pictures or more concrete concepts

Khu started giving more info after Kaka showed up bc Kaka would actually answer questions or show definite things lol and khu probably wanted more attention

Kaka kind of just disappeared after a certain point though

[white garden]

Chat

Do you think Khu will share the same fate as Pyoro

[spice timber]

OH YEAH KAKA

i remember now, khu kind of just leeched off of them for a while until they vanished

[torn ore]

I'm pretty sure he's talking about the 30th anniversary and not a trailer on the 30th

[tropic pollen]

same

[spare hare]

Oh so it really is nothing

Breaking news: company works on things in advance

[tropic pollen]

yea exactly lmfao

[spice remnant]

No

No god fucking dammit

Why can't khu stay dead

[shell sand]

you need anti-vampire tactics from the 1600s

[red garden]

I miss the days of corocoro leaks when leaks were actually intresting and not vague and hosted by degenerates

[tropic pollen]

Yea

[spice timber]

oh it's literally nothing

don't we like

know that pokemon games are planned out 2-3 years in advance?

[rough kelp]

my favorite part is when they datamine trainer teams <3 the reveal that guzma has golisopod was so cool

[spice remnant]

Me datamining the AZ battle in Z-A with Eternal Flower Floette

[shell sand]

is eternal flower floette still cool

i think it is

[tropic pollen]

always has been

[spice timber]

i mean light of ruin getting a new description out of nowhere in sv was the first potential sign of z-a being real

for all intents and purposes, az's floette could've been completely erased in the transition to swsh and just left at that, but they chose to preserve it for so long

by comparison, the xy legends being the only box legendaries left out of the sv dlcs is suspicious, but could just be explained away as a coincidence

[tropic pollen]

New leak (fiction)

[spice timber]

||TEAM SPARKLE||

[rough kelp]

||>mysterious clan Team Sparkle||
bro changed the script half way through

[spice timber]

there's so much shit here it's amazing

[rough kelp]

||mega luxray
pokémon fans are never beating the electric/dark wanters allegation||

[spice timber]

||the fact that they specified friendly rivals for some reason, the clan typo, the jank ass name of the evil team, "game is themed around restoration" bit when the game takes place 2 years after xy, mystery gift megas, the safest megas imaginable, the only mentioned new evo being for the objectively hardest kalos mon to give an evo to||

[rough kelp]

honestly the most realistic part of this leak ||is them listing mega clawitzer and not mega dragalge. because gamefreak would do that. exhibit A mega slowbro exhibit B mega glalie||

[runic prawn]

unironically kinda believable

[tropic pollen]

I think they’re all relatively safe predictions

Notice how there’s nothing about the gameplay

[arctic bobcat]

||2 years after X & Y huh
that's a ballsy assumption ||

[tropic pollen]

or how it works as a legends game

[runic prawn]

true lol

[arctic bobcat]

||like I was kinda under the assumption that since the whole trailer was framed as a blueprint for the city that it wasn't actually indicative that the city was fully built yet even if it looks futuristic||

||like it's both future-shadowing for XY and also it avoids revealing anything about the actual in-game design||

[rough kelp]

actually, have any ||sequel/prequel ever states directly the amount of years or months||

[tropic pollen]

||yea bw2 explicitly takes place 2 years later||

[rough kelp]

lmao ok

||this feels like copy paste then||

[velvet bobcat]

ok but hear me out ||tank zygarde lmao||

[spice remnant]

This leak is so stupid lmao\

[spice remnant]

||Johto games happen 3 years after Kanto games, BW2 2 years after BW, there's also a timeframe between BW2 and Sun and Moon but I don't remember what it is||

[tropic pollen]

||also 2||

[red garden]

||Bro thats not Pokemon legends ZA, that's pokemon x 2 and y 2||

[harsh lion]

This is true!

[harsh lion]

i didn't know about this... does this imply bw takes place 13 years after gsc/dppt

actually maybe it is just 11 years since gs(1999) takes place 3 years after rgby(1996) and b2w2(2012) takes place 2 years after bw(2010). so with that logic, 2010 - 1999 = 11

meaning porygon was created 2 years before the events of gen 1...

[tropic pollen]

yea it was on Grimsley's concept art shared on twitter, but removed in the final version
A director also shared his view of the "timeline" of the series until gen 7, but that tweet was also taken down

[harsh lion]

yeah i know about the one timeline

with gen 1 gen 3 -> gen 2 gen 4 -> gen 5 -> gen 5 two, gen 6

but the grimsley thing is interesting

[spice timber]

oh

someone in a different server brought up an interesting point regarding the new raid/outbreak news that happened all at once

[harsh lion]

yes?

[spice timber]

we only have three starters left for tera raids

though the gimmighoul raids run immediately after worlds, it's kinda sus that they're doing all of this at once

[spice timber]

idk if this is actually gonna mean anything, but they are ||snivy, totodile and litten||

[harsh lion]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

[spice timber]

oh i was mistaken

they also haven't done ||turtwig or chimchar||

[spare hare]

yea i was just gonna say, that's not right lol

it feels weird to me that they would do torterra and infernape back to back too, but we'll just have to see on that front

[spice timber]

new funny leak dropped (from 4chan i think)

[harsh lion]

||mucho texto but BRUXISH MENTION LETS GO||

[arctic bobcat]

||oh its another one claiming it takes place in the future||

[velvet bobcat]

||fanfiction||

[rough kelp]

||water/steel blastoise gives me the same energy as electric/dark luxray 😴 ||

[tropic pollen]

||This plot sounds insane and stupid and i can tell its fake because there’s zero mentions of any reocurring theme||

||its all style and no substance||

[spare hare]

you can tell whenever something's fake bc it just sounds like a story or list some guy was writing and trying to think of something they'd want lol

like no leaker has ever leaked something like this

[velvet bobcat]

man those "leaks" have been on such a bad streak

can we get something slightly believable please

[spice timber]

i have to give this leak credit for not falling into the trap of listing common community predictions as leaks

it reads more like a wacky fanfic than a typical leak

[spare hare]

like this is not a Leaker sentence

this is just someone describing somtehing they're imagining play out in their head

[tropic pollen]

Its just twist twist twist plot plot plot

No gameplay loop

[rough kelp]

this one gets me. ||gamefreak making a game for 2 consoles?????||

[tropic pollen]

I mean they do do that

Nintendo at least

And………. Spike Chunsoft did it once ig

[spice timber]

i'm pretty sure that that's directly piggybacking off of khu saying that ||there'd be an enhanced port of sv for the switch 2||

[rough kelp]

ig, but I won't expect them to do that, ||seeing how USUM is still 3ds-exclusive at the very end of 3ds life||

[tropic pollen]

That wouldn’t work

[spare hare]

it makes more sense for z-a as an unreleased game than for sv at least

but personally i doubt it

[spice remnant]

Me leaking my pokemon fanfiction where ash and idfk whose in the anime now uhhh plumeria start dating but a new pokemon shadow dethlorde comes and steals pikachu

[spare hare]

plumeria bro 💀

[spice remnant]

this happenes in the new poekmon game pokemon dark galaxy

[ruby void]

||love the boldness of adding "Please stay tuned for official confirmation from GameFreak coming soon" at the end of the most fanfic ass leak ever||

[broken linden]

I think they are gonna do like BoTW and release it on both consoles

[torn ore]

New Pokemon Masters datamine and there's a potential presents date? ||August 25/26 since players will be gifted a mysterious present but it's at an unusual time. Not during a usual presents hour though||

[spice timber]

the whole ||arven|| datamine is extremely sus timing-wise

[torn ore]

How so?

[spice timber]

oh just like

what you said

[torn ore]

Oh it's linked to that unit lmao

[spice timber]

we're getting a major masters update coincidentially in the same month that worlds is happening

[torn ore]

||But with that date, a Presents after Worlds? Maybe Worlds' big announcement is the Presents instead||

[spare hare]

they update masters ex every month

[spice timber]

oh, that is true

though i think it's notable that ||it's arven||

[spare hare]

if we do get a presents this month i think it makes sense for earlier in the month rather than later

gamescom is aug 21-25 and since tpc will be there, if they're going to show off anything new there i think it makes more sense for them to have revealed it on their own first to lead into gamescom rather than the other way around

[grizzled turret]

||Maybe that’s the reveal and the later date is when it comes to masters?||

[grizzled turret]

yeah they’re doing some restructuring they haven’t done in the past

[spice timber]

apologies for the ping, but where did you hear about this?

[grizzled turret]

I could send you a link to the PoMA server

It has a datamine channel @spice timber

[spice timber]

well, ig it's just about the gift datamine thing

[grizzled turret]

Or just send a screenshot here

[spice timber]

that'd be really nice, tysm

[grizzled turret]

This is all that’s referenced from the datamine

@spice timber

[spice timber]

ok, tyy

[spice timber]

https://www.pokebeach.com/2024/08/pokemon-tcg-may-be-hinting-at-a-summer-or-fall-2025-release-for-legends-z-a

speculation based on tcg releases featuring new mons/mechanics that correlate with new games

tl;dr is that z-a would realistically not come out before ||april 2025||

[north fjord]

Good

[velvet bobcat]

||that's relieving||

[marble sand]

very very good

they're doing exactly what we've been begging lol

[velvet bobcat]

what if gamefreak became good

:copium:

[marble sand]

still no guarantee it won't be a LITTLE rough but it should be considerably LESS rough. And that's what gamers strive for - things being Less ass

[spice remnant]

Wrong, I specifically play games with as much ass shots as possible

[velvet bobcat]

What if they made an ass pokemon

[marble sand]

Nintendo during the Wii U era: We're a family friendly company!
Nintendo now:

[north fjord]

Mandrill Pokémon with a big red ass

Where is it Game Freak

[velvet bobcat]

Pokémon before: Cool, animal design that make sense
Pokémon now: Gyattchu, Skidibird, Freakinja

[north fjord]

Iron Rizzulus

[velvet bobcat]

[restive silo]

LMAO

||I love tcg so much. You can find out many things >:)||

[runic prawn]

sure, I can wait

I do wonder if gen 10 games will be late 2025 or 2026

don't mind me I have completely lost track of time

ok yeah SV was 2022

[spice timber]

yeah, sv was 2022 and the dlcs were 2023

[runic prawn]

ok true legends arceus was jan 2022

[spare hare]

i think 2026 makes sense simply to coincide with 30th anniversary

z-a being later in 2025 would also support gen 10 being 2026 rather than late 2025

[runic prawn]

OH true 30th anni

[spice timber]

honestly

[runic prawn]

that hurts because I'm one year younger than the pokémon series 💀

[spice timber]

i'm pretty confident that z-a is gonna cook

[velvet bobcat]

What if they announce a game for the 30th anniversary instead of releasing one

[spice timber]

hopefully they don't rush out the 30th anni game

that's what screwed over gen 6 and 7

[tropic pollen]

Havent been this excited for a video game i know jackshit about since Xenoblade 3

[spare hare]

also video (bc we're getting a trailer this month )

[spice timber]

we know that the biggest thing holding every pokemon game back is lack of time

and z-a is getting like

an extra year or so?

assuming that the pla team started planning/designing it around when base sv was happening and not working on anything else, then that's way more time dedicated solely to z-a than most other pokemon games get

AND this is a concept that they've presumably been sitting on since gen 6, because xy never got its definitive edition

[grizzled turret]

I didn’t believe it at first but now I am convinced that the zygarde core quest in SM was from a cut Pokémon Z

And they just shoved in some of the content

[arctic bobcat]

i mean i think its kinda clear they fumbled with the third legend anyway so they couldn't really implement it in a proper manner even with the side quest

so this is their chance to properly make a story with it

i think it is funny that the canon zygarde is just apparently 50% complete

[spice timber]

zygarde's cells were on strike during xy's plot

[velvet bobcat]

Classic french experience

[torn ore]

If them TCG speculation holds true, then this month would be the perfect time to show more news or rather first gameplay

Like the first Legends Arkoos trailer

[marble sand]

yeah I wouldn't mind seeing some gameplay

even if it's a while out I'd like to See it

[tropic pollen]

Leaks for Pokémon

[west bramble]

||https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/1enbucz/new_info_regarding_bread/|| ||Dynamax leaked, again <3|| ((Pokemon Go))

||https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/1eh3gek/dynamax_assets_pushed/||
|| and also this leaked a few weeks back ||

[velvet bobcat]

leaks for pokémon or leaks of pokémon?

are we providing leaks to pokémon as a franchise

if yes would it not be leaks to pokémon?

[shell sand]

uhm

[shell sand]

this is crazy gen ||8|| was ages ago

[west bramble]

You mean like, the release of ||Sword and Shield|| or the ||addition of gen 8 pokemon to Pokemon GO||

[shell sand]

1

[wanton trail]

NO

[west bramble]

Tbh, Pokemon GO is still not up to date with their pokedexes

so

it's not really that surprising

hell, I'm actually shocked that ||we're even getting dynamax in GO||

thats also why im shocked

it would be extremely funny to see that happen in the case of this specific twitter leaker though
