It feels fairly likely to me but I'm unsure

shell sand
#

i mean its very possible i just dont like the concept

echo bone
#

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 😭

shell sand
#

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

echo bone
#

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

spice timber
#

kinda doubt it tbh

#

at least, not on the same level of awesomeness as bdspeak

marble sand
#

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

echo bone
#

also the fact bdsp sold a lot for minimum expense so i dont doubt they'd do another one

marble sand
#

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)

echo bone
#

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

spice timber
spice timber
shell sand
spice timber
#

it's like you put awesomesauce on an epic plate of bodaciousness

shell sand
#

its not alleviated

echo bone
shell sand
#

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"

spice timber
#

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

echo bone
#

we literally dont have sales figures for it post 2022 i dont think we can claim anything of this as fact

shell sand
#

like

echo bone
#

but anyways for a low budget remake like this this is a total success story lol

shell sand
#

why bother with the faithful remake thats worse when theres the better game thats new

#

either way thats still 15 mil copies

echo bone
#

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

shell sand
#

it sold more than OR/AS

#

like

#

if they continue with remakes this way its just Dead and Uninteretsing

echo bone
#

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

spice timber
#

that's true, but isn't that just a trait of pokemon being on a mainline console?

shell sand
#

no

spice timber
#

the games have been consistently getting high sales since swsh

shell sand
#

it says more about the people paying than anything

spice timber
echo bone
#

again those sales dont lie

shell sand
#

people made a stink about the games not being feature complete and it still sold

spice timber
shell sand
#

regardless if its console or not people are still paying for it

echo bone
#

sv got to amass the same amount of swsh's lifetime sales despite the state it was in lol

spice timber
#

pla outsold bdsp after bdsp cannibalized a lot of its sales

echo bone
#

well duh

shell sand
#

yeah because its pokemon

spice timber
#

my point is, bdsp is on the low end of sales for these games

shell sand
#

like this is saying that handhelds couldnt sell millions but they did

echo bone
#

i'm not saying bdsp was the best selling game i'm saying it did maximum gain for so little effort

shell sand
#

NO IT SNOT?

spice timber
#

are you guys not listening?

echo bone
#

like they can outsell 3ds games without trying now

spice timber
#

i'm pointing out switch games

shell sand
#

bro... some games are lucky to hit 5 mil and youre saying this is low end

echo bone
#

yeah lol

spice timber
#

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

shell sand
#

god

spice timber
#

it's an indication that it's a wider audience

shell sand
#

confusion not alleviated

echo bone
#

this is 5 times the sales of metroid dread

spice timber
#

it's fucking pokemon, it always outsells everything else

#

it's a comfort game

shell sand
#

duh

echo bone
#

i'm not even sure what you're arguing for anymore tbh

shell sand
#

thats why a bDSP gen 5 is Likely and i dont like the fact that it is

spice timber
#

i will say

shell sand
#

that was the starting question and statement and im going to end with it

spice timber
#

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

echo bone
#

i no longer worry because i've accepted this company doesnt give a shit to do the best job lol

shell sand
#

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

spice timber
#

and if you say "but it's bdsp so it'll be bad", you're just setting yourself up for disappointment

shell sand
#

and by Company i mean TPCi itself

#

i literally have more faith in Pokemon Masters EX to get better quality content than the maingames

echo bone
#

i will say the game is bad if it has those horrible bdsp/home tier renders anyways

spice timber
#

at least see the damn game before doomposting

#

yeah

#

i'll be shitting on it too if it looks anything like bdsp

shell sand
#

the doomposting has started since the start of the console era 😭

echo bone
#

i'm basing my expectations based on what's been delivered already?

spice timber
#

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?

echo bone
#

i'm a realist and the only evidence they've shown me is that the quality control of these titles is completely secondary

shell sand
#

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

echo bone
#

even PLA which i'd consider the best of this era looks like dogshit lol

shell sand
#

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

spice timber
#

ig i like to look at this stuff in an optimistic light

shell sand
#

blindingly

spice timber
# shell sand blindingly

the reason i have this mentality is because of how much shit was being flung around in the pre-release swsh era over dexit

shell sand
#

and they were right

spice timber
#

how the fanbase just fucking tore itself to shreds

#

over nothing

shell sand
#

the story was shit the region was tiny and the most fun things in the game was the online

spice timber
#

complaining about all the wrong things

shell sand
#

and the online had Dynamax as balancing

#

the people had hte most fun are the people who were more casuals

spice timber
#

and?

#

that's not a bad thing

shell sand
#

alienating your fanbase and then telling people to stop doomposting because they changed the game series not even for the better is not optimistic

echo bone
#

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

shell sand
#

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

spice timber
#

and you're saying that that hasn't been a thing since gen 3?

shell sand
#

it was easier back then

spice timber
#

where they paywalled basically all of the returning pokemon over the course of the gen?

shell sand
#

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"

spice timber
#

or gen 4, which started with a game that was so horribly optimized that you could clip out of bounds by moving too fast

shell sand
#

the line of thought we have is "its worse now"

echo bone
shell sand
#

it doesnt matter about the past

#

the now is worse

echo bone
#

dont use this argument

spice timber
#

i don't like having my mentality called a blind one

echo bone
#

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

spice timber
#

just complaining about shit isn't gonna fix anything

#

all it's gonna do is cause arguments like this

echo bone
#

???

spice timber
#

that's what happened during dexit era swsh

shell sand
#

dude

echo bone
#

i literally just answered a question

shell sand
#

we ltierally answered meowtactics question

#

we didnt even elaborate

#

we didnt want to

spice timber
shell sand
#

I see

echo bone
#

i literally just began posting in this thread to talk about the funny leaked gen 1 localization notes

shell sand
#

oh yeah are they all in tcrf yet

echo bone
#

it's not my fault the topic got dragged into the modern day

spice timber
#

i thought the sarcasm would go through

shell sand
#

last tiem i checked tcrf was still trying to put data in

spice timber
#

there's probably so much shit they're still trying to sort through

echo bone
#

it has encounter tables in the beta

spice timber
#

are they going in order of gens?

echo bone
#

like how psyduck was gonna be in route 2 :D

spice timber
#

OH YEAH

#

i remember seeing stuff about the encounter tables

spice timber
#

they got nerfed, right?

echo bone
#

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

spice timber
#

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

echo bone
#

i'd have liked it

shell sand
#

it would make them both harder and easier to catch

#

harder to find easier to get multiple

echo bone
#

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

spice timber
#

ig lgpe kinda had the birds be rare spawns again

shell sand
#

actually the important qurstion is like

#

would the catch rates be the same

spice timber
#

probably?

#

i don't see why not for what seems to be intended as a rare boss encounter

shell sand
#

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

spice timber
#

sorry for kinda bringing this up again, but i apologize bout the argument we had

echo bone
#

i apologize as well about the things i said

spice timber
#

talking about pokemon quality gets me really heated, and it makes me butt heads and say shit when i really shouldn't

echo bone
#

i have a lot of negative emotions regarding this company and that's kinda why i wish the question hadnt been asked

spice timber
#

well, it's in the past now

shell sand
#

i grnyinely sometimes cannot tell if youte serious or not wheb talking abt the games its why i was confused at your joke

spice timber
#

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

shell sand
#

it was also confusing that the conversation then became optimism abt the games

spice timber
#

i kinda have a bad reaction when people shittalk pokemon stuff, even though it absolutely deserves it

#

so i wasn't talking rationally

shell sand
#

ill keep taht in mind

spice timber
#

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

shell sand
#

well tbf za did leak it could still be new info

spice timber
#

WHAT?

#

Z-A SPOILERS probably not but i'll keep it updated

shell sand
#

big if true

spice timber
#

very easily fakeable screenshot

shell sand
#

waiting game time

echo bone
#

the low poly feels like his 3ds or smash 3ds model tbh

#

i lean to fake

shell sand
#

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

spice timber
#

is it the same as the masters model?

shell sand
#

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

spice timber
#

it's not the same model

#

the mouth is like sv

shell sand
#

they had modelled mouths in xy too

echo bone
spice timber
#

OH

echo bone
#

if only he were in the background of lumiose instead of random electric mons

spice timber
#

LMAO

#

the smash trophy is too low poly, but they coulda just edited it

shell sand
echo bone
#

yeah

#

very sure it's the cutscene model for sycamore

spice timber
#

would he have had a modeled mouth?

shell sand
#

i still think the fact that its two images of thr same frame is the most easiest way to see its fake

shell sand
spice timber
#

damn it, i don't know where in xy it would have shown up

shell sand
#

holocaster

#

and the burger ctuscene

spice timber
shell sand
#

also the... intro ofthe game

spice timber
#

still not the same

#

face is rounder

shell sand
#

i think youre focusing too much if the model is real

#

the images themselves are dubious

spice timber
#

yeah, i'm still sus

#

trying to find an exact model match

arctic bobcat
#

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

shell sand
#

yeah

#

also theyd show two different frames if they bothered to take 2 photos

spice timber
#

the way the screenshot was framed alone makes it look fake

shell sand
#

nah switch can show images and videos

#

its extremely easy to fake

#

and can absolutely be the actual scr33n

#

screen

arctic bobcat
#

i can just boot up the youtube app and put a next gen game on the screen

shell sand
#

ye

spice timber
#

OH yeah

shell sand
#

the fact that its a static image is the main thing tho if it was actually playing the animations would play

echo bone
shell sand
#

they didnt even bother like making a video

#

lame leak

spice timber
#

okay, think it's confirmed fake?

shell sand
#

until we see the same scene animate which can still be fake id put it as "laughable leak attempt"

spice timber
#

yeah

echo bone
#

what if op posts another picture of the sycamore cutscene but the screen just has lipstick marks over it

spice timber
#

person in a different server who's a lot more cued into leak stuff said it might be a big deal

echo bone
#

op couldnt resist the temptation of having him on screen

spice timber
#

and they were freaking out about it as well

shell sand
#

that said ZA was leaked we just dont have it

spice timber
#

they're not riding or dying on this being true i think

shell sand
#

actually isnt the original ZA leaker around

#

if by some miracle someone could ask them before centro finds out

arctic bobcat
# spice timber ????

||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||

shell sand
#

isnt this that fairly odd parents episode

arctic bobcat
#

||I still think the game is going to take place in the past but boy do people take that wireframe kalos so literally||

echo bone
tropic pollen
#

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

tropic pollen
#

||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||

tropic pollen
#

was also thinking this idek if this came out yet

spice timber
#

z-a

north fjord
#

||Chat wasn’t Zeraora part of the leaks for PLZA or something||

#

||Did I accidentally connect some dots in the main chat||

spare hare
#

||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||

spice remnant
#

||I don't think Mega Zeraora's possible b/c they won't know how to make him Z-shaped||

spare hare
#

||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 😭 ||

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.||

New 4chan leak for Z-A. What do we think of this one lads?

Seems somewhat realistic enough

Doesn’t seem to reveal too much right away

shell sand

#

oh

arctic bobcat
#

clearly this means TPC has finally released all their moral scruples and embraced AI art WWWWWWWWWWWWW

north fjord
#

Oh you’re right

#

You can see around the ear

shell sand
#

its not the ear

#

its the fact that the ||forehead jewel is larger than it should be||

#

like the tiny start of one

#

before it evolves to an actual big one

#

but in the "artwork" its an orb

north fjord
#

You can see the AI artifacting around where the fins of the ear converges

shell sand
#

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

echo bone
#

it's also pink, so it's the wrong color too

shell sand
surreal vault
#

AI for fake leaks

#

what has this world come to

shell sand
#

boring

spice remnant
#

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||

echo bone
#

||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||

spice remnant
#

||What's 'so wrong' about the flippers any more than the dream world art clay posted earlier is 'so wrong'||

echo bone
#

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||

spice remnant
#

||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||

echo bone
#

||even if it's fanart or ai it still looks fake||

spice remnant
#

||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||

echo bone
#

well it's not the same pose

spice remnant
#

||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||

echo bone
#

||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||

#

||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 ||

shell sand
#

all i hear about the M-EX fandom is they hate the fact its always the same characters

grizzled turret
#

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

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||

||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.

#

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||

#

i tried it for myself on my phone and it worked

#

||if this is accurate, then the presents is 19 minutes long||

spare hare
#

||found it through inspect element as well, the length is 19:16||

silver shore
#

||is 19 minutes enough for za news at the end?||

spare hare
#

||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||

tropic pollen
#

||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?||

spare hare
#

||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||

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

spice timber

the teraleaker said that z-a was completable ||back in like august of last year||

tropic pollen
#

I'll take it to the council

spice timber
#

aight

#

it's kind of an iffy thing, because it's technically a leak but not relevant to anything in the game

tropic pollen
#

on that matter, why not talk about it here

spice timber
#

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

tropic pollen
#

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

spice timber
#

that's a good idea, probably for the best

spice timber
#

EXTREMELY high quality video leak

#

this was posted on 4chan

surreal vault
#

What the HELL IS THAT

spice timber
#

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

surreal vault
#

||Is...budew confirmed to be in the game?||

spice timber
#

it is

surreal vault
#

||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)

grizzled turret
#

So like is it cool

#

Don’t tell me what it is

#

Just if it’s cool.

spare hare
#

It looks more like ||swadloon|| to me in the bottom left

spice timber
#

it's

#

yeah

surreal vault
#

If we get more footage of this quality it's likely real

spare hare
#

I will say ||fucked up yveltal snake looks cool||

surreal vault
#

And if so
Most likely from the teraleak build

spice timber
#

i don't think it's ||a snake, i think it's a fish||

spare hare
#

I can only hope the final game looks this nice

spice timber
#

i've heard it be compared to ||basculegion, but apparently its animations are more exaggerated||

spare hare
#

Bc this looks better than what I would have expected from the reveal lol

spice timber
#

honestly, something this actually batshit insane makes me believe it's real

#

with how out there it is

surreal vault
#

All we need is more convincing footage and it's OVER

spice timber
#

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

spice timber
#

it is suspiciously high quality for handheld footage

shell sand
#

oh its got UI

#

oh ok

#

so its got leaked

#

yeah thats just

#

the UI from the game

#

Oh its a ||camera mode||

surreal vault
#

The ui is fakeable
Especially now that...its been revealed

shell sand
#

No

#

there was also a slider on the other side of the screen

spice timber
#

yeah, there was a camera slider

surreal vault
#

OH

shell sand
#

also no one can really fake an area with detail like that with a 3d model like that without preemptive knowledge

spice timber
#

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

shell sand
#

especialyl considering the area also animates

#

yeah this is really blurry

spice timber
#

this honestly feels like a non-debunkable leak

surreal vault
#

Oh god I'm not prepared for this

spice timber
#

the only drag against it, outside of imperfect quality, is the fact that it seemingly runs better than it should on handheld switch hardware

shell sand
#

i think the most anyone can really say is the style the model is in

surreal vault
#

We don't even have a RELEASE DATE

shell sand
#

feels really realistic?

spice timber
#

it has the z-a lighting

#

like 1:1

shell sand
#

no

spice timber
#

the same big white light outlines

shell sand
#

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

spice timber
#

ig that's fair

shell sand
#

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

spice timber
#

they still kept details on the more high res mons

#

but i do see what you're sayin with that design

shell sand
#

high res isnt my point

#

im talking about textures

spice timber
#

yeah

#

it doesn't match with the cel shading z-a has

shell sand
#

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

spice timber
#

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

shell sand
#

also performance wise i just think thats because of the recording, theres times where it double-images and makes it look smooth

spice timber
#

yeah

shell sand
#

like this leaf

spice timber
#

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

shell sand
#

the grass also moves in teh wind like that in the trailers

#

same sort of rhythm too

spice timber
#

i think the grass moves like that in sv too

surreal vault
#

Is the texture of the grass itself the same?

shell sand
#

no one can actually say its so blurry and also looks darker

#

but like

spice timber
#

it'd be a different color at least

shell sand
#

if the grass moves in the wind like that, animated like that, and it matches the trialer

spice timber
#

just going off of the context of the area

#

also, again

#

4 days post-trailer

shell sand
#

whether or not its from SV, there's been someone who actually like got the animation data

#

also the entire scene is animated

spice timber
#

unless they somehow had all these assets pre-reveal and then just added the z-a stuff to it in post

shell sand
#

i need to see if SV grass actually animates exactly like that

spice timber
#

it'd still be impressive if they ripped sv's grass animations

shell sand
#

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

spice timber
#

it was just a thought

spice timber
#

i imagine that's part of why the leaker for that bug/dragon mon in swsh chose a cave as their background

shell sand
#

if its fake its one hell of a leak that they can do all this in 4 days

spice timber
#

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

shell sand
#

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

spice timber
#

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||?

shell sand
#

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

spice timber
#

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||

shell sand
#

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

spice timber
#

if this person faked it, they'd be spitballing this entire aesthetic

shell sand
#

sure

spice timber
#

we have no clue what this game has outside of that first look

shell sand
#

thats leaks for ya!

marble sand
#

i'm on team Real. ||It just looks too real. The way it moves reminds me of pokemon animations lol||

shell sand
#

im thinking 90%

spice timber
#

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

vestal arch
spice timber
#

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

runic prawn
echo bone
#

i think it's real

spice timber
#

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

echo bone
#

||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||

vestal arch
#

(Z-A SPOILERS WEEWOO) ||It looks more like a decaying flower then a fishsnake to me honestly||

spice timber
#

||it definitely has a like dead/rotting leaf aesthetic to it||

grizzled turret
#

I’m not looking but I’m glad that it looks like fire. Makes me more excited for the final product

spice timber
#

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||?

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

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

runic prawn
#

oh so it's fake, rayman leak moment

shell sand
#

what was that like

spice timber
#

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

runic prawn
#

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"

shell sand
#

rayman leak doesnt really feel as good as an actual 3d scene to me

runic prawn
#

but in 2015 it was (at least compared to all other bad smash fake leaks lol)

spice timber
#

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

rose junco
# spare hare

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

spice timber
#

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

echo bone
#

yeah damn , it looked too good for this game, that was my main suspicion

#

was hoping it were true, damn

final apex
#

torn ore
#

Welp, never underestimate the dedication artists have for just 4 days after the reveal trailer I suppose lol

marble sand
#

props to the artist - I'll gladly accept being wrong about this cuz goddamn lol

north fjord
#

I had a suspicion it was fake just because it looked too good but I still definitely somewhat believed it

velvet bobcat
#

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

tropic pollen
#

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

echo bone
#

they turned raikou the tiger into a brachiosaurus i think that change would be totally on brand for game freak

velvet bobcat
#

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

spice remnant
#

I thought the artstyle of the background really did not look like anything in Pokemon

west bramble
spice timber
#

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

#

and centro's using it as a springboard to try to confirm the only thing interesting khu has said

tropic pollen
#

||idk I think the mable thing would be interesting||

velvet bobcat
#

||mable is an extremely specific one
if there's a way to tell wether Khu knows or not, its gonna be thru her||

Unfortunately he has a history of being a real one

#

That until scarlet violet dlc came around and he started bullshitting

spice timber
velvet bobcat
#

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

spice timber
#

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

tropic pollen
#

He kinda lost it after Arceus

spice timber
#

he got sv's entire dex correct

velvet bobcat
#

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

surreal vault
#

Which I agree

#

You mean Teal mask?

spice timber
#

OH yeah

#

i think indigo disk leaked that way too

#

but i know for certain that that's what happened with teal mask

tropic pollen
#

Indigo Disk didn’t leak tho, to my knowledge

velvet bobcat
#

i remember when the zombies thing leaked

#

never would i have guessed what those zombies would actually be

spare hare
#

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

tropic pollen
#

Huh, good for them

spare hare
#

yeah matt posted something like 2 hours before the update dropped iirc

#

that was basically hinting like "yea we got the stuff"

rough kelp
#

how fast did people find mochi mayhem

spare hare
#

they posted about mochi mayhem very soon after

#

like the day after indigo disk released

#

tfw kieran punching the altar and purple mist surrounding his hand was literally never explained

#

he can just do that

How reliable is Pory_Leeks

#

Earlier I think I saw Centro saying there was ||27 new megas||

surreal vault
#

Pyoro seemingly corroborated the ||number of new Megas: 27||

#

How the fuck he would know this, idk

#

Where is this information even leaking from to begin with

torn ore
#

||Surprisingly a decent number||

tropic pollen
#

Thats early.

torn ore
tropic pollen
#

I’m surprised || that there’s no mention of new Pokemon. You’d think they’d know that too.||

torn ore
#

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||

surreal vault
#

||I'm not sure how many new pokemon we'd get realistically||

#

||It doesn't look like ZA takes place long after XY||

tropic pollen
#

||i dont think we’d get more than 4 or 5||

torn ore
#

||Not counting new forms, how many new evolutions and mons did PLA have again?||

surreal vault
#

||I'd be suprised if we got any more than a new mythical or something||

torn ore
#

||"A" could be a new mon at the very least||

tropic pollen
surreal vault
#

Hints?

tropic pollen
#

He QRTd himself with a hint

#

||Top left of your PC keyboard, ESC button|| supposed hint for a new mega evolution

surreal vault
#

||Golisopod?||

tropic pollen
#

||maybe. Was thinking ESCavalier||

surreal vault
#

||Either would be fire...probably would mean Mega Accelgor too||

Good amount

#

||27 is an insane number if real goddamn||

#

||Where is leo to watermelon react all these posts when you need him||

velvet bobcat
#

REAL

torn ore
#

Mega spoilers ||its joever?||

torn ore
#

||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||

surreal vault
torn ore
#

||It's either that or GameFreakOut started spittin' again||

surreal vault
#

||I don't think that's exactly the case||

spice timber
#

OH

surreal vault
#

||Unless GFO wanted a more controlled leak||

spice timber
#

huh? already?

surreal vault
#

We don't know wtf is going on

spice timber
#

it's more than just khu

#

something must have happened

surreal vault
#

Pyoro, Centro, Poryleeks are in on it

slow orchid
spice timber
#

shit

#

khu is relevant again then

spice timber
surreal vault
#

What have they said so far

#

(I forgot who they were to begin with tbh)

spice timber
#

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||?

#

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

spice timber
#

#

spice timber
#

#

surreal vault
#

(Trying to remember what these were meant to be)

velvet bobcat
#

lmao bro really slapped the cowboy hat on the girl

spice timber
#

iirc that specific hint was ||h-lilligant||?

velvet bobcat
#

||dude cowboy lilligant lets fucking go||

north fjord
#

What was the moon moth for

velvet bobcat
#

||Actually since lilligant is already cowboy (aka unovan) maybe the og lilligant could get something||

velvet bobcat

#
