#Leaks for Pokémon
1 messages · Page 53 of 1
i mean its very possible i just dont like the concept
i unfortunately find it very possible as much as its existence would make me break my no-kill oath
though at least it'd be immediately better than midsp thanks to black and white being very polished games and not plagued with errors like DP were 😌
but unfortunately still means we'd get those awful home-tier renders that bdsp got and i dont want my man n to suffer 😭
ok but kirb-star
BDSP wasnt just faithful
it was also [we didnt bother recreating the system of some parts of the game] for Gen 4
like how Grand Underground didnt have actual secret bases
or how Contests were literally turned into a dancing minigame only
there is nothing but down
and didnt bother taking any of the pokedex upgrades from platinum and just locked those poor helpless pokemon to a dungeon underneath
so yes they'd be worse i agree
but at least black and white has good encounter tables except for zoroark line so those design decisions probably wouldnt suffer as much as it was taking from original DP for sinnoh
Honestly for me what I could see happening is like. Game that clearly aimed to fixed some of the criticisms offered to its predecessor and is a marked improvement but still doesn't quite fix everything
Kinda like swsh->sv y'know what I mean. Like it's better but won't save it from frequent criticism (especially when it has its own problems)
But that's life. We cope
Ilca isn't gamefreak though so who knows if they'd handle feedback the same way gf does
also the fact bdsp sold a lot for minimum expense so i dont doubt they'd do another one
GF/TPC is definitely like. Blatantly corporate and has very corporate attitudes but I feel like in terms of criticism they do make a genuine effort to address what fans say - even if they can't quite hit everything because of how little time they get. Like I personally believe that ZA got delayed because of the response to SV - so maybe if they did another bdsp they'd aim to give it a glow up even if they don't technically have to.
(This is all assuming it would even happen though. Maybe no mention of bdsp 2 will be heard and all of this will be for nothing lol but I digress)
sorry but that's a fantasy tbh
they havent recouped my good faith in them after they let the newest games look so bad graphically and still reel in millions each title
like if i were on the ceo spot i wouldnt change at all the company's plans given the profit just because there's a very vocal minority on the interwebz complaining about these games for children lol
they cracked a code for success and i guarantee they'll keep following it, i dont feel bad predicting the worst timeline for this company's artistic decisions anymore
i mean its sales died off HARD
the actual mainline pokemon games definitely take criticism seriously, even if it doesn't look like it on the surface
you confuse me
it's like you put awesomesauce on an epic plate of bodaciousness
its not alleviated
yeah idk the fact that kirby had to get 5-6ish million to outsell itself while Pokemon just Does that i dont think its called sales are "dying hard"
i mean more like, over time
bdsp basically stopped selling copies after pla came out
when pokemon games generally consistently get sales throughout a console's lifespan
we literally dont have sales figures for it post 2022 i dont think we can claim anything of this as fact
thats not a product of BDSP existing thats a product of PLA existing
like
but anyways for a low budget remake like this this is a total success story lol
why bother with the faithful remake thats worse when theres the better game thats new
either way thats still 15 mil copies
so if i were the ceo of tpc and rolling in my maximum gain for minimum pay i wouldnt bother making the next remakes experimental anymore
considering this sold triple kirby's best selling game without trying
it sold more than OR/AS
like
if they continue with remakes this way its just Dead and Uninteretsing
i agree wholly
it sadly would make all the most sense of the world to do it quick and cheaply over and over again since the people will eat it up regardless
that's true, but isn't that just a trait of pokemon being on a mainline console?
no
the games have been consistently getting high sales since swsh
it says more about the people paying than anything
again those sales dont lie
people made a stink about the games not being feature complete and it still sold
regardless if its console or not people are still paying for it
sv got to amass the same amount of swsh's lifetime sales despite the state it was in lol
pla outsold bdsp after bdsp cannibalized a lot of its sales
well duh
yeah because its pokemon
my point is, bdsp is on the low end of sales for these games
like this is saying that handhelds couldnt sell millions but they did
i'm not saying bdsp was the best selling game i'm saying it did maximum gain for so little effort
NO IT SNOT?
are you guys not listening?
like they can outsell 3ds games without trying now
i'm pointing out switch games
bro... some games are lucky to hit 5 mil and youre saying this is low end
yeah lol
the fact that every switch pokemon title that isn't lgpe outsold the 3ds games isn't some horrible indication that they can start going the way of sports games and not giving a shit
god
it's an indication that it's a wider audience
confusion not alleviated
this is 5 times the sales of metroid dread
duh
i'm not even sure what you're arguing for anymore tbh
thats why a bDSP gen 5 is Likely and i dont like the fact that it is
i will say
that was the starting question and statement and im going to end with it
i don't think you need to be worried about that
i doubt they'll let gen 5 bdsp be as shit as gen 4 bdsp was
i no longer worry because i've accepted this company doesnt give a shit to do the best job lol
the quality control of the pokemon company has been dogshit ever since Switch i dont think you can convince me its going to get better unless it wasnt this company that's making this game
and if you say "but it's bdsp so it'll be bad", you're just setting yourself up for disappointment
and by Company i mean TPCi itself
i literally have more faith in Pokemon Masters EX to get better quality content than the maingames
i will say the game is bad if it has those horrible bdsp/home tier renders anyways
at least see the damn game before doomposting
yeah
i'll be shitting on it too if it looks anything like bdsp
the doomposting has started since the start of the console era 😭
???
i'm basing my expectations based on what's been delivered already?
something that we can infer from context was specifically a rush job made to lessen the risk of pla existing as its own thing and not being a remake?
i'm a realist and the only evidence they've shown me is that the quality control of these titles is completely secondary
dude, theyre still releasing games 1-2 years inbetween each other and theyre still the main guys that do that to their own dev team
even PLA which i'd consider the best of this era looks like dogshit lol
we just answered "what would you guys think of Gen 5 bdsp-level remake" and we said "likely but i dont like it"
thats it thats all
ig i like to look at this stuff in an optimistic light
blindingly
yes
the reason i have this mentality is because of how much shit was being flung around in the pre-release swsh era over dexit
and they were right
the story was shit the region was tiny and the most fun things in the game was the online
complaining about all the wrong things
and the online had Dynamax as balancing
the people had hte most fun are the people who were more casuals
alienating your fanbase and then telling people to stop doomposting because they changed the game series not even for the better is not optimistic
i just want my videogames to respect the half of the word called video (the visuals) and not have the games stuck with this gross ass dirt texture
considering we've been proven right and right again that releasing so close to each other in years has literally hurt the games
and theyve been hurting since 2013 X Y
and you're saying that that hasn't been a thing since gen 3?
it was easier back then
where they paywalled basically all of the returning pokemon over the course of the gen?
it was called the graphics were small
i dont think this line of questioning goes anywhere other than "how come you dont think the older games were a problem"
or gen 4, which started with a game that was so horribly optimized that you could clip out of bounds by moving too fast
the line of thought we have is "its worse now"
dude just because mistakes were made 20 years ago doesnt mean we have to put up with it now lol
dont use this argument
i don't like having my mentality called a blind one
then dont come in singing gospel about a company we've been disappointed by for a while now
i replied to meowtactic's question and that's that
just complaining about shit isn't gonna fix anything
all it's gonna do is cause arguments like this
???
that's what happened during dexit era swsh
dude
i literally just answered a question
we ltierally answered meowtactics question
we didnt even elaborate
we didnt want to
this was a joke
I see
i literally just began posting in this thread to talk about the funny leaked gen 1 localization notes
oh yeah are they all in tcrf yet
it's not my fault the topic got dragged into the modern day
i thought the sarcasm would go through
last tiem i checked tcrf was still trying to put data in
there's probably so much shit they're still trying to sort through
they're still at it
but the gen 1 page is basically complete
it has encounter tables in the beta
are they going in order of gens?
like how psyduck was gonna be in route 2 :D
they got nerfed, right?
they were hella different
vulpix was in lavender tower
and articuno was a rare spawn in seafoam instead of an encounter
like the ff1 superboss which is just a rare encounter in the last room
yeah, i remember that
i wonder what woulda happened if they had kept this mentality?
cassette beasts has a similar thing with its legendary equivalents and it makes that game quite interesting
i'd have liked it
it would make them both harder and easier to catch
harder to find easier to get multiple
there was also a wild encounter table for a silph-esque area with mewtwo as the rare spawn
and moltres was a rare spawn in cerulean cave
mfer bird cant find a still home even in the betas
probably?
i don't see why not for what seems to be intended as a rare boss encounter
so its not as easy as just getting rng mid-game before beating it
imagine seeing that type of mon and doing no damage and wasting balls
sorry for kinda bringing this up again, but i apologize bout the argument we had
i apologize as well about the things i said
talking about pokemon quality gets me really heated, and it makes me butt heads and say shit when i really shouldn't
i have a lot of negative emotions regarding this company and that's kinda why i wish the question hadnt been asked
well, it's in the past now
i grnyinely sometimes cannot tell if youte serious or not wheb talking abt the games its why i was confused at your joke
i hate bdsp
but the stuff i was saying after the joke was serious
i don't think it was entirely indicative of my actual mindset, because of the emotions of the argument
it was also confusing that the conversation then became optimism abt the games
i kinda have a bad reaction when people shittalk pokemon stuff, even though it absolutely deserves it
so i wasn't talking rationally
ill keep taht in mind
OH
three different leakers all talking about z-a at the same time
oh uh
that's
not good
nvm, baited myself about z-a leaking through the teraleak
I'M SORRY
well tbf za did leak it could still be new info
big if true
waiting game time
he had a 3ds model!?
er
smasg
its defintely rendered and its also the same frame
howd it stop being blurry while also maintaining the hand posed in the same position
is it the same as the masters model?
nah
the hands in masters are thinner
or i mean the fingers
id lean on fake especially because it has two photos of the same frame but one is blurry
thatd only happen if it was a static image
they had modelled mouths in xy too
yeah
OH
if only he were in the background of lumiose instead of random electric mons
reminds me of how they designed charcaters in alola
would he have had a modeled mouth?
i still think the fact that its two images of thr same frame is the most easiest way to see its fake
yes
damn it, i don't know where in xy it would have shown up
also the... intro ofthe game
i think youre focusing too much if the model is real
the images themselves are dubious
i suppose if they were going through the trouble of leaking prototype builds they could have chosen to show dialogue that isn't literally in every single game
the way the screenshot was framed alone makes it look fake
nah switch can show images and videos
its extremely easy to fake
and can absolutely be the actual scr33n
screen
i can just boot up the youtube app and put a next gen game on the screen
ye
OH yeah
the fact that its a static image is the main thing tho if it was actually playing the animations would play
square knew that method well when "porting" certain games.................... 
okay, think it's confirmed fake?
until we see the same scene animate which can still be fake id put it as "laughable leak attempt"
yeah
what if op posts another picture of the sycamore cutscene but the screen just has lipstick marks over it
person in a different server who's a lot more cued into leak stuff said it might be a big deal
op couldnt resist the temptation of having him on screen
and they were freaking out about it as well
i hope they dont put faith in it too much
that said ZA was leaked we just dont have it
they're not riding or dying on this being true i think
actually isnt the original ZA leaker around
if by some miracle someone could ask them before centro finds out
||what even is the point of the hologram, is this time machine related or time capsule or something||
||are they trying to imply that the game takes place in the far future after XY or are they trying to imply that Professor Sycamore personally has you isekai'd||
no it takes place here
isnt this that fairly odd parents episode
||I still think the game is going to take place in the past but boy do people take that wireframe kalos so literally||
kingdom hearts world name
I think some form of gen 5 revision is possible but i think it’ll come with some big changes
It will NOT just be chibis again
I like to think they learned their lesson from the massive flood of negative feedback the art style recieved
||could be the Holo-caster||
||What my question is is why would the “professor zone” look like Zygarde||
||This is like starting Platinum and having Prof Rowan explain to you what Pokemon are in the Distortion world||
was also thinking this idek if this came out yet
platinum if it were a good game
||sending unc to hell||
||rowan sucks anyways.............................||
||clearly it's because the game takes place in the zygarde azone, as the title implies||
what title
z-a
||Chat wasn’t Zeraora part of the leaks for PLZA or something||
||Did I accidentally connect some dots in the main chat||
||we know that there were internal discussions about mega zeraora (and zygarde) from plans for the future of the anime iirc||
||we don't know for sure if they kept it yet but we know it was at least being discussed, so there's a decent chance||
||I don't think Mega Zeraora's possible b/c they won't know how to make him Z-shaped||
||the only pokemon we know for sure will be in the game is stunfisk bc that's the only pokemon the leaker commented on||
thank you leaker
||i mean you know you can guess a lot of other stuff will be in and you'd obviously be right, but like that's the only one they confirmed lmao 😭 ||
iirc there was ||a leak with mega zeraora being part of the anime, and i think it led to speculation about zeraora actually being a fourth member of the aura trio based on the squirrel on the world tree or something||
||yeah, they were debating whether to use it and all (and then they dropped using Zeraora as one of the Six Heroes lol)||
||I think Zygarde will also be in the game||

||Well we also know onix sylveon aegislash furfrou flabebe fletchling uhh. uhh||
they should not include one of those
Aegislash is NOW banned from Pokémon Legends Z-A. How does this affect Wikstrom's son's team
||Krookodile||
||Gyarados||
how did someone look at a cat and say squirrel
wym
||the leaked contents was conversation with anime staff and game developers||
thats not the part im referring to
i'm not following then, sorry
||oh it's Zeraoras design you're talking about, i guess that's feline||
silph's chief is the gaster of pokemon
unused trainer, erased from the game's story, his sprite just went towards blaine
It was difficult
To put the apricorns together
so it's possible this could end up meaning something else
but pyoro ||posted a picture of a synapse
https://bsky.app/profile/eb576dcfe.bsky.social/post/3livavaz4k224 ||
what is bro cooking
||synapse was the codename of a project leaked in the teraleak||
||what we know about it is basically that it's a pokemon works game with online multiplayer||
||and the teraleaker described it as "splatoon-like," whatever that means||
||rogue.. synapse...... polybius confirmed for switch 2....||
||… Pokémon arena hero shooter?…||
||Pokemon rivals babey!||
||YOUR POWERS ARE MINE!||
||honestly… a hero shooter would be fire.||
||for some reason i just figured synapse would be next year or something||
||or at least farther off||
i'd be surprised if ||we actually got synapse, what looks like this huge game, so soon||
||I guess it’s because it’s not a mainline game apparently is why.||
this could save the series
||i guess we could just get the announcement somewhat early but not actually get it "soon"||
New 4chan leak for Z-A. What do we think of this one lads?
||That Dratini art is a little too convincing, but the use of realistic sparkles is what puts me off||
||I want this just for mega malamar that sounds so silly I need it||
this one is whatever to me, realistic enough and also easy to fake, so I'm like eh
||bro that release date ☠️ ||
||what's wrong with it||
||Kinda doubt it'll release that late ngl - I think a summer release is more likely||
thats an ai-generated artwork
oh
clearly this means TPC has finally released all their moral scruples and embraced AI art 
its not the ear
its the fact that the ||forehead jewel is larger than it should be||
|| https://pokestop.io/img/pokemon/dratini-256x256.png || its supposed to be a ||horn||
like the tiny start of one
before it evolves to an actual big one
but in the "artwork" its an orb
You can see the AI artifacting around where the fins of the ear converges
i thought about that too but the orb thing was more definitive in calling it a fake
because that parts the most obviously off model

boring
I'm pretty sure it's not AI
It's just some artist that referenced one specific piece of art without realizing the design change
||Being the RB art of Dratini||
||Not that I understand why they'd make it look like a giant ampharos orb either way but here it looked more like a forehead gem than a tiny spike and the dratini in that image is clearly just a modernized looking trace of this artwork||
||Actually honestly it looks more like a smooth semi oval than a spike in most of its depictions now that I really look over them||
||nah i'm pretty sure it's ai
maybe it just referenced this specific art of dratini since ai steals art all the time.................................... ||
||no way in hell would they get the flippers so wrong either||
||What's 'so wrong' about the flippers any more than the dream world art clay posted earlier is 'so wrong'||
it's this part
||the lines from the edge is supposed to connect to the middle but it instead curves downwards without reaching it, it also adds a line on the top like a bat wing when it doesnt have that detail||
||either way picture is fake for that error||
||I guess, but every error in this artwork still feels more like a mistake an actual person made from not studying the pokemon's design enough than something an AI would do||
||even if it's fanart or ai it still looks fake||
||Like I can't imagine how you could make an AI draw a dratini in like nearly the exact same pose as the RB art like that, feels too human-copying-work||
well it's not the same pose
||Yea the tail is different which makes it even more off, if it was literally the same silhouette I could imagine making an AI just fill it in at least||
||Well either way the point is the art looks pretty fake so whatever lol||
||i mean i just dont see much reason for someone to make art of this commitment just for a fake leak when an ai can make it a lot quicker lol, silhouette also isnt really the same proportions wise||
||https://x.com/absolutelypm/status/1894258503772246196?s=46&t=i2BZOfT9FAhyHVe1iyXCNA || masters EX, likely for Pokemon Day
||suspiciously shiny mega rayquaza||
||We’re also getting Arc Suit N next update… if that means anything ||
||Seems they were very particular about not including anything ZA or Pokemon day related in the datamine||
||And hey we got Hoenn alts for the first time in a year! The same two Hoenn characters who get alts but uhhh ||
all i hear about the M-EX fandom is they hate the fact its always the same characters
All things considered it’s not that bad but it’s a bit of a slow crawl to alternate versions if your favorite character isn’t a main character, rival, or champion
The other big problem is that almost all new characters are limited and effectively paywalled
Other than the new clavell they’ve gave out for free every single Paldea sync pair (not counting ticket Nemona) are not available in the normal pool
||pics that go hard||
hold your fire
mobile game leaks for ||tcg pocket||
||makes sense that it's an arceus pack, it's like how mythical island was an add-on for genetic apex that was still pretty heavily kanto||
||tcg pocket players when there's crobat and heatran at the function||
||Still no Dragon ex. Guessing the next main set will have Rayquaza ex and other dragons||
more pyoro
We got some stuff from Pyoro but I’m pleased with the shocking lack of leaks this Pokemon day. Ofc Pokemon-
Literally as I was typing this message.
Anyway I was just saying that ofc Pokemon doesn’t have that much stuff each presents but it’s nice to be surprised
||Gen 4. Of course it means explorers of sky remakes||
||i guess we will get ranked battles announced on pokemon day as well, alongside the new pack||
is this another thing about ||gen 5 bdsp||?
no this is a ||tcg pocket|| thread
||the first post is referring to trading being limited to diamonds and 1 stars||
||the second post is referring to how the next pack (a2) would be gen 4 (which was spacetime smackdown)||
||note that the 2nd post in that screenshot was jan 21, which was before spacetime smackdown came out on jan 30||
||the last post is the new information here||
ooh okay
tera leak ||Hey hi yes im thinking about K & N again - I really like the idea of it standing for Kaze & Nami (Which would be Wind and Wave in english) - The anime leak suggested that the current series is "similar to gen 10," which involves a lot of traveling across many different locations. Island hopping, essentially. And what country consists of a lot of small islands? Greece||
||i think it makes sense and also greece would just be sick as hell||
||agreed||
||i need full-on hellenistic pokemon shit||
||Pokémon fire emblem and one piece… a bit if you ask me but I’ll hear em out||
||one gen i'd love it if there was a region that like. had very few local legendaries, but a lot of older gen legends with alternate forms. Some sort of implication that the energy of the region transforms the legendaries that travel there.
actually that'd be kinda perfect for an anniversary title...||
peak art
so random funny thing but ||someone used voiceover on the pokemon presents premier, and it supposedly states the length of the video in the voiceover||
POV: You stumble across the Pokémon Presents duration because you use VoiceOver
#PokemonDay #PokemonPresents https://t.co/4F2QTS1oqK
i tried it for myself on my phone and it worked
||if this is accurate, then the presents is 19 minutes long||
||found it through inspect element as well, the length is 19:16||
||is 19 minutes enough for za news at the end?||
||i think it's fine||
||the pokemon presents that revealed bdsp and pla was 20 minutes long||
||also if they keep the snappy pacing from last year's presents, it'll be fine||
||last year's presents was 13 minutes, but they devoted 9 minutes to tcg pocket and z-a, which means they only spent 4 minutes on all the random mobile games/spinoffs (and they had go, sleep, masters ex, unite, and cafe remix)||
||since we might also see synapse since pyoro seemed to be hinting at that, my guess is that we get 10 minutes between synapse and z-a, and then 9 to showcase all the random mobile games, plus sv raids/outbreaks, plus anime stuff||
||hey thats pretty good||
||are you certain that this covers the whole video or just the part of the video that has the voice over? Could it be half a minute longer with unvoiced intro/outro fluff?||
||should be the whole video length||
||people also found the video length through looking through inspect element last year as well, and it was the same time as the final time||
||they/them gimmicks in MY pokemon game??????||
||my god….. Official Showdown??||
||official showdown but you can only use pokemon you have in home at the moment because fuck you <///3||
||i'm joking but that genuinely might be it||
||what is game freak cooking...||
Okay but this would be perfect
||As long as they don’t shut down Showdown for it||
just please for the love of god let me pet the pokemon in home
||it sounds really good but i'm only scared if they shut down showdown for it||
||showdown is such ||a||n oddity cuz i||m ||100% sure p||o||kemo||n ||is aware of its existence but also probably reco||g||nizes that all it does is benefit them||
||so i doubt they'll take it away from|| us
||so it's showdown but official and only pokémon from home and with 3D models?||
||isn't that just battle revolution
||
||finally.||
leaker
THE RICO LEAK WAS REAL???
how tf did you know the name
theres no fucking
links to any websites
Press Material release already
I want to know about Champions
maybe in 2 minutes
or in 32
if you mean pokémon champions, pyoro had posted this https://images-ext-1.discordapp.net/external/qpwdubHCdClmVhUqq4kaGL8Laduu-zgKz12LSRR17Ko/https/cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did%3Aplc%3A2qvywvaznwpmeyxetg756rj6/bafkreidu6zahqdn6xpgbfh2mwii6qu5d646vucwihbg7rjakdo325wmtze%40jpeg?format=webp&width=1325&height=663
whats the rico leak
I need
the TeraLeaker to come back
and tell me theres city interiors in Z-A
im going to go insane if they make a game that takes place only in a city and the only interiors are Hotel and Quasartico
check the site
are they uot yet
like i need ZA to have the same amount of random apartments you can enter like in XY because if not then i will cry
there's multiple interiors in the trailer
im going to repeat my statement as i acknowledge there are interiors in the trailer
i feel like there was a leak with two johto starters but it was also quite a while ago so like
idr where to find it
and also i don't remember if they got anything else right lol
none of this was confirmed at all 😭
thats not the johto starters either
lmao
they got Quasar right
they got the wild areas right
like 90% of this is still bullshit
but
wasn't Quasar guessed to hell and back from the first trailer
was it???
Yeah cuz the logo from the first trailer is a quasar
I remember something about it
people were guessing quasar and wild areas out the wazoo
also like
they just got the starters wrong lol
dartboard
apparently someone on 4chan leaked the starters like
5 minutes before the presents
and it's the same shit as with pla
don't think they sent anything else though
neat
Things from this leak that wasnt true
- the starters
- working for Sycamore
- Development team name wrong
- Rico and all the bs about that
daum
tera leak: ||does translation really take that long because from what i recall, the leaker said that the game was like. perfectly playable.||
Can someone translate the text maybe there's something useful in there lol
I really hope thats not how you choose the starters
it's nothing too interesting unfortunately, just talking about how you have to choose a starter as usual
||iirc, they said that they were able to play the main game from start to finish, but there was still a lot of unfinished shit on the side||
ah gotcha
also too little of the stuff on the side is shown to be interesting either
can TeraLeaker please come back and tell me that cafes wont just be a door with a shopkeep in front of it preventing you from entering
Hi before I scroll a lot, are there leaks of ||the starter evos yet pls pls plspls pls pls||
It’s so soon but I have to ask cause lol!
No
We could've had the whole unfinished game leaked
But...nothing
can teraleaker come back
first game ive seen in a while that looks good and i want To Know if its Worth it
||Bre lowkey the only thing we know about ZA is that Stunfisk will be in it. Honest.||
😭
I haven’t looked in here since 1984
||Sometimes everything leaks. Had to ask
||
||some leakers are so cool. Most fucking suck, so that’s fair||
thank god i can rest easy
||can confirm that was a thing that was said||
No ||Synapse|| huh
Someone was bullshitting lol
Oh well that is what it was actually I just checked history 💀
||so like are we going to expect team-based championships or something||
||can't wait for pokefests that ask us about our favorite seafood or whatever and people have to find a way to fight with Inkays and Grapplocts||
||maybe they mean lobby + character customization + gameplay loop?||
ig a ||long term pokemon battle game with regular updates and seasons and stuff ala splatoon|| was what they were talking about
i wonder what the monetization is gonna be like?
presumably it'll just be cosmetic, but it'll be interesting to see
||plot twist they said that because Championships is going to have idols||
Ahhhh makes sense
no i just knew
True??
s.s. cussler
(Seriously Though, Why The Fuck Did They Just Slap Dubai Into France)
Would It Have Been That Hard To Just Have Them Travel Abroad
This Is Up There With Sinnoh Having A Spanish Town And Unova Having New York City
...Even Though Unova As A Whole Is Already Based On It
Unova is based on New York the state
with a little bit of New Jersey
NYC is in New York so obviously there would be a NYC analogue inside of the larger region
Dont make fake leaks as a joke
the teraleaker said that z-a was completable ||back in like august of last year||
I'll take it to the council
aight
it's kind of an iffy thing, because it's technically a leak but not relevant to anything in the game
on that matter, why not talk about it here
ig i was gonna use it as a talking point in the convo over there
it's a positive thing for this game's potential
I think ultimately we might make it a rule to not mention anything (like, zilch) that came from the tera-leak until the parts are gradually released. So when ZA releases and its spoiler period is over, it'd be fine to mention
that's a good idea, probably for the best
What the HELL IS THAT
what's fucked up about this is that
||1. the prism tower is visible in the background
2. the trainer's party only has a single budew
3. apparently the minimap actually matches an unknown part of the lumiose map||
4. this came out 4 days after z-a's first gameplay reveal, which would be an extremely short timeframe for something like this to be faked
||Is...budew confirmed to be in the game?||
it is
||But like what is actually going on in that clip it looks like a 3d model with 3d grass but a 2d background?||
||With this...Yvelsnake awkwardly moving about the screen|| (maybe huge spoiler idk)
It looks more like ||swadloon|| to me in the bottom left
If we get more footage of this quality it's likely real
I will say ||fucked up yveltal snake looks cool||
And if so
Most likely from the teraleak build
i don't think it's ||a snake, i think it's a fish||
I can only hope the final game looks this nice
i've heard it be compared to ||basculegion, but apparently its animations are more exaggerated||
Bc this looks better than what I would have expected from the reveal lol
honestly, something this actually batshit insane makes me believe it's real
with how out there it is
All we need is more convincing footage and it's OVER
they even got slight frame stuttering in the video, which likely wouldn't be there if it was just a video being recorded on the switch

it is suspiciously high quality for handheld footage
oh its got UI
oh ok
so its got leaked
yeah thats just
the UI from the game
Oh its a ||camera mode||
The ui is fakeable
Especially now that...its been revealed
yeah, there was a camera slider
OH
also no one can really fake an area with detail like that with a 3d model like that without preemptive knowledge
the minimap also had an area of the game that hasn't shown up yet in official footage
with the same graphics as the minimap we know is real
this honestly feels like a non-debunkable leak
Oh god I'm not prepared for this
the only drag against it, outside of imperfect quality, is the fact that it seemingly runs better than it should on handheld switch hardware
i think the most anyone can really say is the style the model is in
We don't even have a RELEASE DATE
feels really realistic?
no
the same big white light outlines
thats called rim lighting and its a common feature in most hd games
not just pokemon
style-wise im not talking about the lighting anyway
im talking about the detail
ig that's fair
ugh
the texture just feels really detailed which i dont think ZA follows through because what we've seen of it has them go back to the cartoony style
where its all mostly solid flat color
they still kept details on the more high res mons
but i do see what you're sayin with that design
I find the recording really realistic they zoomed in at max you can see their finger lift off the controller and then they hold the phone closer and closer
i think, if it's fake, then the only tell that it's fake is that the textures ingame are overly detailed for what we've seen of it so far
also performance wise i just think thats because of the recording, theres times where it double-images and makes it look smooth
yeah
like this leaf
there's little framerate stutters in the ingame footage, which would be really weird if they had done what leaks usually do and just play the fake footage on a switch
i think the grass moves like that in sv too
Is the texture of the grass itself the same?
it'd be a different color at least
if the grass moves in the wind like that, animated like that, and it matches the trialer
whether or not its from SV, there's been someone who actually like got the animation data
also the entire scene is animated
unless they somehow had all these assets pre-reveal and then just added the z-a stuff to it in post
i need to see if SV grass actually animates exactly like that
it'd still be impressive if they ripped sv's grass animations
it does not
You lied
SV's grass moves slowly like a breeze
the grass from ZA's trailers flutter
and apparently so does this leak's
the grass animates like this in ZA
hey, i don't know it off the top of my head
it was just a thought
this would be such a pain in the ass to replicate in a fake leak
i imagine that's part of why the leaker for that bug/dragon mon in swsh chose a cave as their background
if its fake its one hell of a leak that they can do all this in 4 days
it's so stupidly high effort that i really wanna see what the creator did to make it, if it's fake
like, they didn't have an artstyle to go off of 4 days ago
it takes gamefreak a whole team to make an area look good, and this guy would have needed to replicate teh grass and animated all of the plants and the 3d model in one go
if this was fake, why would they have chosen ||a super nature-y area where they'd need to hand-design all the assets and not a generic cityscape that could realistically work anywhere in the game||?
it also has ||lumiose tower|| in the bg which is certainly another piece of effort
someone would have needed to animate every flower and placed every leaf and thats not even counting designing them and the fact that its a ||thorny plant|| that wouldve needed to be modelled
all those ||branches|| need to come from somewhere
this would also all be coming off of an assumption that this is what the game's plot would be including
some kind of ||weird sectonia-esque plant overgrowth with chimera abominations included||
idk
we dont know anything about that
all im really talking about is the logistics of making this whether in-game or visually for a fake leak
that's what makes it more fucked up
if this person faked it, they'd be spitballing this entire aesthetic
sure
we have no clue what this game has outside of that first look
thats leaks for ya!
i'm on team Real. ||It just looks too real. The way it moves reminds me of pokemon animations lol||
im thinking 90%
god
this happening so soon is so fucked up
especially considering that the z-a starters leaked minutes before the presents last week, and the screenshot they were in looked WAY worse than this leak does
which implies that this footage, if real, is from a much more recent build
||excuse me but what the fuck||
if this is actually fake, the person behind it is insanely talented to a degree i don't think any fake leaker has been before
HUH
i think it's real
literally just the design of (SPOILERS) ||yvelsnake/fishveltal|| alone has a stupidly high quality to it, not only in the design itself but also the model and animations
||i mean Z A had leaked last september basically but hackers didnt show it since footage of the actual game wasnt out, i think this is just that demo finally being able to be shown in those hacker circles||
(Z-A SPOILERS WEEWOO) ||It looks more like a decaying flower then a fishsnake to me honestly||
||it definitely has a like dead/rotting leaf aesthetic to it||
I’m not looking but I’m glad that it looks like fire. Makes me more excited for the final product
oh, another thing about that leak
||the sewaddle line technically isn't part of xy's dex||
||swadloon is a friend safari pokemon and you can't find any of its line anywhere else in the game, so it's more of a natdex mon||
||so maybe that's why this person had it in the clip||?
I see yall have stumbled into the mysterious 4chan leak
mayhaps
I'm currently leaning on team real atm. If it was posted a little later then I could count it as fake. But 4 days after the initial reveal and creating all of this is a lil too fast unless someone is very dedicated to trolling
If real, must be one of the Teraleaker's buddies
Nahhhh
Magolor epilogue leak had a major red flag
Aka
Everyone who knew who the leaker was lmao
If this leak is true then holy shit ||casually reveals the most insanely cool looking Pokémon ever what the fuck||
||is zygarde gonna drop a reset bomb forest on fucking paris||
(Havent seen the video on the off-chance that its real) But I feel like posting this right after the reveal is what makes it suspicious to me
Why not a week before
||This is one of the sickest designs I’ve seen in Pokémon so part of me hopes it’s real||
||Dude what the FUCK is going to be this game's plot||
||Legends Arceus was already funky with the origin forms of the legendaries||
||but this is like. what the fuck????||
||honestly even if this ends up being fake I gotta hand it to the leakers they cooked with this design it's fire as hell||
||10%||...
wait, was there more info on it?
oh no I was just saying ||10% yveltal like as a joke||
ooh okay, mb
GO, Z-A speculation ||They're releasing Volcanion in GO this June so it has now become a viable option for the shiny reward for Z-A's dex||
btw the person who made that leak came out and admitted it was fake lol
unfortunately it seems they had to deactivate their account bc ppl began to harass them about this
at least- that's what i assume happened bc i checked and their bluesky is now deactivated
sucks they got harassed for making something cool that fueled discussion
huh i knew the texture work was really interesting considering the showcased trailer style
still though thats an intensely well made leak
modelling the thorns, animating the flowers, leaf particles, the grass being animated the same
and making up a zoom scroll UI just to complete the authenticity
Jesus christ
Yeah I knew there was something weird about how the model moved
hot DAMN
it was fake?
that is actually so insanely impressive that i'm not even mad
like, this was the only indication that something was up
oh so it's fake, rayman leak moment
what was that like
oh yeah, rayman leak
it was a fake leak of a smash 4 render for rayman that matched smash 4's artstyle so well that people thought it was real
and it turned out to basically be an ad for something the artist was doing
also it had a short video (well it was just selecting rayman but still) so back then people were like "wow if that's fake that's a lot of effort for a fake"
rayman leak doesnt really feel as good as an actual 3d scene to me
but in 2015 it was (at least compared to all other bad smash fake leaks lol)
this particular leak is probably the highest quality fake leak out there
cuz like
they made basically an entire slice of authentic-looking gameplay within this video
if it was hd, this would have absolutely given it away though
I remember they posted standalone artwork of it but guessing that's gone too now
tbh I'm surprised it took so long in here for other people to find out, by the time it was posted in here they already admitted it being fake lol
but it was so impressive I didn't really feel like saying anything this time
but yeah I agree
this person likely had an entire hypothetical plotline for z-a planned out
they had probably created and animated the mon design beforehand, but everything else was likely done in the 4 days between z-a's reveal and when the leak was posted
yeah damn , it looked too good for this game, that was my main suspicion
was hoping it were true, damn
same
Welp, never underestimate the dedication artists have for just 4 days after the reveal trailer I suppose lol
props to the artist - I'll gladly accept being wrong about this cuz goddamn lol
I had a suspicion it was fake just because it looked too good but I still definitely somewhat believed it
Design was too fire to be real
I really wanna know what was the OP's story for this
I really dig the idea of at some point in the game lumiose turning into... Whatever was going on there
Would be such a cool climax
On the off chance that this was real, I didn't watch this video until today
Clearly its well made but I wouldn't call it convincing. The texturing and 3D art style doesn't look like it came from game freak at all. Frankly looks closer to Palworld, if anything
The design is also just too complicated to fit with Pokemon's style. The animation, while fluid, is also aimless. Its swimming in place, doing deliberate movements to push itself forward, except not really. I dont think they'd animate something like that for overworld movement.
Lastly the UI is easily explainable, the creator just needed to wait until GF showed the UI of the game to easily replicate it. Can't imagine it to be too difficult for them given they already did all this. I'd be far more suspicious of this video if it leaked 6 days before the presentation and not after
also my giga nerd opinion is that it wouldn't make sense for the mythology Yveltal is based off but then again they did turn Palkia into a horse so what do i know
they turned raikou the tiger into a brachiosaurus i think that change would be totally on brand for game freak
honestly after what they did to palkia and dialga i feel like anything is possible
i think its funny how overall the main red flags of why this is fake is cuz its too high quality
too fire to be real
I thought the artstyle of the background really did not look like anything in Pokemon
sorry but i must remind you all that brachiosaurus raikou is fucking FIRE
i think the background artstyle looked like a higher res swsh
and the reason it felt weird was just because pokemon normally avoids bgs like that
this wasn't derogatory
if i said it it woudl havbe been
That's actually fucking nuts lmao
||yveltal 10%||... is lost media??? 😔
Huge Anime Spoilers and Teraleak related stuff ||The announcement for this Friday is really gonna be the timeskip arc mentioned in the Teraleak. According to a reliable anime leaker from Japan who leaked the previous arcs in advance due to seeing magazine scans early||
Yeah There Is An Analogue
It's Called Castellia City
Don’t be condescending
i'm really not sure what's the point of pointing that out like 2 weeks later
sometimes messages take a while to send depending of your wifi
might take a few seconds or a whole minute
or two weeks
New Anime Arc Leak and also Teraleak spoilers ||THE TIMESKIP ARC IS REAL||
||wonder if we'll get an episode where floragato evolves||
||also
MANGA STULED POKEBALS||
||and dot isn't a cherrim anymore 
Liko looks the same. She just changed clothes
I like roy's redesing||
||What’s with Terapagos being eepy||
||notice how Friede’s goggles are broken||
Teraleak || the name of the arc is even Mega Voltage lol||
Teraleak ||Curious is Mega Zygarde's appearing in tomorrow's episode considering that there's no signs of him in this new season yet||
||that’d be a MASSIVE reveal 7 months before ZA even releases, but ig it wouldn’t be the first time they show a Zygarde form far before its obtainable||
||at most I think it could go Complete and then they’ll save the mega for a later finale||
it could be (teraleak) ||mega zeraora||
Teraleak and Anime ||Lucius' Rayquaza is also said to Mega Evolve, which hasn't happened yet. Either it happens in these last two episodes of this arc or Roy triggers it in the future assuming he keeps it after Lucius probably dies in the next two episodes||
||im guessing Mega Zygarde vs Mega Rayquaza will be saved for last||
||aka in like. Two years.||
At the very least ||Zygarde miiight go Complete in these next two episodes to stop the Rakurium||
pokemon go || https://x.com/thepokemodgroup/status/1900236751311950309/ ||
Some new Pokémon form assets have been added:
• All Paldea forms of Tauros
• Sizzlipede and Centiskorch
• Mega Audino

#Datamine #PokemonGO
honestly i dont think i have to tag this its just pokemon go stuff. i dont think anyone cares
look at those tho
we found it. the pokemon that looks infinitely better in go than in mainline
Wow Paldean Tauros actually has a cool shiny when the lighting isn’t shit
they also look great in home
Well the cat's out of the bag (with some drama between fellow Pokémon rumor accounts), but yeah, Khu did actually tease this last year.
Mega Victrebeel is coming
Quoting Centro LEAKS (@CentroLeaks)
How many Pokémon shown in this video get Mega Evolutions?
Answer: more than 1 ;)
Can someone confirm wtf Centro is talking about
oh i think i can answer this
world's most unfortunate graphics detailing the shit khu's said over the last several months
basically, khu got some REALLY small shit correct
the name of quasartico and "merch of the starters" coming out in january
and centro's using it as a springboard to try to confirm the only thing interesting khu has said
||idk I think the mable thing would be interesting||
||mable is an extremely specific one
if there's a way to tell wether Khu knows or not, its gonna be thru her||
||I mean a Mega Victrebell would probably look cool assuming we got it. Idr who Khu even is but judging by the reactions here they seem to just be another (mostly) fake leaker, interesting idea at least.||
Unfortunately he has a history of being a real one
That until scarlet violet dlc came around and he started bullshitting
khu has a history of being a real leaker, but when sv's dlcs came out he lost the vast majority of his credibility
good 🙏 🎊 🎆
we still got no idea from where or how that bullshitting came to be
was he misinformed or just guessing
cuz even in the dlc era some stuff was right and others wrong
damn
khu also got called out by the teraleaker
it's definitely possible that he somehow got another source for z-a, but i don't think he has it anymore
He kinda lost it after Arceus
he got sv's entire dex correct
he got everything in sv base game
the indigo disk period was such a pleasant time
like, barely anything about the entire DLC was leaked baring very early on datamine that is just texts about league club and NPC (some of which were for epilogue)
😌 watching those "credible" leakers going full cope was so fun
The sprites were datamined in 6 minutes when the update came out, but it’s no biggie really
OH fair
when indigo disk leaked, it was because pokemon home updated early
You mean Teal mask?
OH yeah
i think indigo disk leaked that way too
but i know for certain that that's what happened with teal mask
Indigo Disk didn’t leak tho, to my knowledge
i remember when the zombies thing leaked
never would i have guessed what those zombies would actually be
it did leak with home too
well actually i guess "leak" is not the right word so nvm
the dataminers did clearly have access to it before the release
but they only released it once indigo disk was officially out
which is why we got everything within literal minutes of the update coming out
so it was not technically a "leak" in the sense that we got it pre-release
teal mask was the one that actually leaked before its release
Wait really
Huh, good for them
yeah matt posted something like 2 hours before the update dropped iirc
that was basically hinting like "yea we got the stuff"
wait jedi remind me
how fast did people find mochi mayhem
oh. based....
they posted about mochi mayhem very soon after
like the day after indigo disk released
"kieran is possessed" stock dropped like crazy that day
tfw kieran punching the altar and purple mist surrounding his hand was literally never explained
he can just do that
god forbids a kid have hobbies 🙄
He was holding back from going ultra pink-stinct
How reliable is Pory_Leeks
Earlier I think I saw Centro saying there was ||27 new megas||
Pyoro seemingly corroborated the ||number of new Megas: 27||
Pyoro
How the fuck he would know this, idk
Where is this information even leaking from to begin with
||Surprisingly a decent number||
Thats early.
inb4 ||They just reveal every single mega in the rumored Switch 1 direct /s||
I’m surprised || that there’s no mention of new Pokemon. You’d think they’d know that too.||
Maybe because ||No one brought it up/asked???||
||I'm sure one or two of those 27 will be New mons at the very least||
||I'm not sure how many new pokemon we'd get realistically||
||It doesn't look like ZA takes place long after XY||
||i dont think we’d get more than 4 or 5||
||Not counting new forms, how many new evolutions and mons did PLA have again?||
||I'd be suprised if we got any more than a new mythical or something||
||"A" could be a new mon at the very least||
||7 ||
He’s already dropping hints 
Hints?
He QRTd himself with a hint
||Top left of your PC keyboard, ESC button|| supposed hint for a new mega evolution
||Golisopod?||
||maybe. Was thinking ESCavalier||
||Either would be fire...probably would mean Mega Accelgor too||
||would be really cool if so, definitely wouldn't expect escavalier to get a mega so if the rest/most of the megas are kinda out there picks i think that would be really cool||
||sounds like that was just for the number (ASCII escape character is 27 (in decimal))?||
Good amount
||27 is an insane number if real goddamn||
||Where is leo to watermelon react all these posts when you need him||
REAL
Mega spoilers ||its joever?||
||I think something must've happened internally for Khu, Pyoro, and other leakers to suddenly start moving||
||27 is also specific and there's been mention about the whole list of megas so they probably got it from there. Won't be long before it becomes public||
I agree, ||this turn of events is unusual, did marketing stuff leak somewhere?||
||It's either that or GameFreakOut started spittin' again||
||I don't think that's exactly the case||
OH
||Unless GFO wanted a more controlled leak||
huh? already?
We don't know wtf is going on
Pyoro, Centro, Poryleeks are in on it
||well now i just feel bad flygon got robbed again||
apparently necro too?
i just woke up, so i don't have all the relevant sources nor context
but i think necro came out and confirmed the two megas that khu had talked about before, ||victreebel and excadrill||?
and then khu posted this image
||https://images-ext-1.discordapp.net/external/rZwRsYyZA9-ykHtPqMwcWmS2l9OIFg_m7ZTrTjJM6ik/https/pbs.twimg.com/media/Gmx_-21aUAAijUb.jpg%3Alarge ||
which is basically the same as the one he made all the way back in pla
apparently, mega ||flygon|| explicitly isn't happening
this is speculation on my part, but if i had to guess what happened for khu to suddenly be relevant again, it's that one of the people with the z-a build from the teraleak became his new source, and just revealed their info publicly
||Is this specifically for Mega evolutions or is it just PLZA spoilers no context in general||
i don't know
||vinnie on the house like carpet||
||It looks like it’s specifically a prayer rug so that’s certainly something weird||
||Is Vinnie Muslim||
how was the pla version of this image?
formatted basically the same way
yeah but what funny images did it have
(Trying to remember what these were meant to be)
lmao bro really slapped the cowboy hat on the girl
iirc that specific hint was ||h-lilligant||?
||dude cowboy lilligant lets fucking go||
What was the moon moth for
||Actually since lilligant is already cowboy (aka unovan) maybe the og lilligant could get something||
i assume ursaluna
Therws a literal bear there though
(see the bear under it pointing at the moth)
Oh
But why moth
no clue
||Im getting hydreigon and aromatisse||
these are such fuckass images
and so's this
