Leaks for Pokémon

[north fjord]

Just a running theory

[spice timber]

this isn't a real name

[grand crown]

maybe stop following community stuff then

thats the only way youll ever avoid it

is to just peace out of the community

[ionic vortex]

Well it SHOULDN'T be...

[spice timber]

there's nothing we can do about it

this always happens when there's leaks around

i get being upset, but you're actively going to the explicit spoiler area in this server to complain about it

[grand crown]

literally

this is entirely your fault tbh

[ionic vortex]

What

How

I'm not looking at the spoilers here

I'm talking about how this is an issue on other platforms

I literally mentioned Reddit

I'm not an idiot

[surreal vault]

The issue is engaging with pokemon reddit communities while avoiding leaks as much as possible

Which
Not really feasible if leaks continue to trickle out

[spice timber]

the pokemon community is pretty infamous for not respecting spoiler rules

[spice timber]

GEN 10

[arctic bobcat]

this is like one step removed from just being glorified fanfiction tbh
if that fanfiction was in turn sent using morse code

[spice timber]

yeah, i'm sus about it

apparently, it all comes from one long internal meeting about gen 10

[north fjord]

||Beeheeyem gets something real||

||Could be Beartic or Bouffalant though||

||Basculin and Bisharp got evolutions so I doubt it’s them||

[spice timber]

oh apparently he said that this supposed meeting took place last month

there's no way this isn't bullshit, unless we get a new concrete development

[surreal vault]

[arctic bobcat]

gigaleak so big it leaked their future meeting

[spice timber]

||kanto starters, galar starters, lucario, aegislash/avalugg/aurorus||

[surreal vault]

||Another mechanic where Kanto starters are given special treatment|| (g10)

[spice timber]

i know that this stuff seems kinda fruitless considering that it's essentially baseless rn, but there is a bunch more info on it now

apparently the reason moot has this stuff, if it's real, is because this meeting was a big multimedia meeting with a focus on the anime

and whoever moot's source is, assuming this is real, focuses on anime stuff

he went in a vc and talked about it, and someone summarized all the shit that was said

text wall (GEN 10 maybe)

[spice timber]

according to moot, ||there's concept art and animations of this blessing mechanic in the teraleak||

[spice timber]

traumatic revelation

khu (ew) posted this last year, right around the time he started correctly leaking z-a information

[grizzled turret]

||They should give Clefable one of these. Just because ||

[echo bone]

based

||it means venusaur and blastoise get attention too and tbh they deserve it as much as zard, i like seeing this particular trio explored||

[grizzled turret]

||Damn basically all of these are tight as fuck||

[spice timber]

apologies for spamming this channel over the last few days, there's been a lot of stuff

someone made a graphic for all of the so-far confirmed/potential (GEN 10) ||apostle choices, alongside the "vessels" and potential majin/god designs||

[shell sand]

is this someone named Nintendo Jason because i know this person and they said they made this graphic

[north fjord]

||If I had to guess the recipients of the unconfirmed names

Kommo-O, Marowak, Druddigon, Tinkaton, Beeheeyem, Mimikyu, Mienshao, Bronzong, Dewgong, Parasect, Raichu, Lucario, Talonflame, Darkrai||

[spice timber]

||tinkaton makes a lot of sense for this mechanic specifically, assuming they base a majin off of hephaestus||

[surreal vault]

||This gimmick goes hard as fuck cant wait to talk about it in 2 years ||

[spice timber]

||it literally sounds too good to be true, it's gonna be agonizing waiting for gen 10's reveal to see it in action||

[shell sand]

thats if its real

[spice timber]

we do have some precedent to believe it

nothing in the ballpark of confirmation, but enough to not dismiss it as a possibility

[shell sand]

oh my god that was actually made by them

[tropic pollen]

Supposed Champions leak (4chan lol)

[north fjord]

I can believe this

The only thing that really makes me question the believability of it is ||gym leaders and familiar NPCs showing up||

||Not that it’s so farfetched it’s crazy, but rather it’s just the kind of fanservice I can’t really see them going with||

[tropic pollen]

||Lowkey don't know about "no comp in gen 10" since implementing competitive is extremely easy, but ig i can see it||

[north fjord]

||Probably just means there’s going to be no online tournaments hosted in the game itself||

[runic prawn]

sure for like 80% of this

[rough kelp]

||the one thing that make me not believe this one is "VP".
we had Beach Point, Blueberry Point, make me suspicious that they wont have the currency be shorten-able to BP again||

[rose junco]

||tbf some of the other languages weren't consistent with it (also keep in mind v and b are similar in JP anyway)||

||ビクトリー could always be romanized as bikutorii, for instance (also starts with ビ like Beach Points)||

[rough kelp]

fair actually

[ionic vortex]

I am so fucking tired

||WHAT IS TAKING THEM SO FUCKING LONG TO OFFICIALLY REVEAL THE MEGAS???||

||I JUST WANT OVER WITH ALREADY SO I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT GETTING SPOILED||

||The other day I tried looking for some art I saw a while back of an alternative evolution for ludicolo, I found the artist's Twitter page but WHOOPS! They retweeted a bunch of mega designs leaks without any sort of warning!||

[Z-A] ||Now I know that apparently we're getting a mega drampa!||

SURE WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE FOUND THAT OUT FROM GAME FREAK THEMSELVES!

And before anyone says anything about blocking words or tags or users, I've been banned on Twitter for an eternity and when you're banned you can't even mute or block anyone/anything

For some stupid reason...

||Like the game is already in a presentable state with a Switch 2 version in the works as well, surely the megas themselves must be ready...||

||And even if not their models, the designs clearly are so even just some artwork would do||

[spice timber]

this is what pokemon always does

[ionic vortex]

Just saying the wait for Z-A wouldn't be nearly as agonizing if it weren't for the fact that I have to walk on eggshells for MONTHS because some people can't keep their mouthes shut

[spice timber]

they always do the grand reveal on pokemon day, and then there's a dry period until may/june/july

[ionic vortex]

I just needed to let off some steam, sorry for the rant

[spice timber]

it's alright

[ionic vortex]

Yeah but at least then you don't usually have a bunch of shitheads on 4chan spoiling the surprise for everyone

[spice timber]

there's nothing we can do about those people besides just try to avoid those places

[ionic vortex]

The issue is practically EVERYWHERE is those places this time around

I already talked here before about how Pokémon fans are allergic to keeping their mouthes shut

[spice timber]

i don't mean to sound contemptuous, but this is a place you knew was a risky area

[ionic vortex]

It's not that common though

It's not enough for me to swear off the platform entirely

[spice timber]

but then you run the risk that you'll get spoiled

plus, it's twitter

it'd do you good to leave it for a while anyways

[ionic vortex]

How was I supposed to know this innocuous artist was retweeting leak stuff just because I wanted my funny Johtoian ludicolo design from a dream

[spice timber]

it's like trying to grab a piece of bacon out of a frying pan with your bare hands and getting upset when you get burned

[ionic vortex]

Okay yeah you're sounding very contemptuous right now

(Whatever that means...)

I need to get to sleep anyhow

[spice timber]

it'll defo help to get some rest, especially if you're feelin upset rn

[ionic vortex]

But still when the fuck is that next trailer

We already went an entire YEAR of radio silence

[spice timber]

you've come in here with this same rant before, that's mostly why i'm talkin like this

[ionic vortex]

Fair

[spice timber]

there will always be people who won't follow spoiler guidelines and if you're in a place that you know could spoil you, you should expect to accidentally see some spoilers

[ionic vortex]

It just keeps on happening without much control on my end despite my best efforts, and this is kind of the only place I can talk about this

[spice timber]

that's why the best way to avoid them is to cut those places out entirely

does bluesky have ways to block out spoilers? maybe you could go there

[ionic vortex]

As I said before though, practically everywhere is those places this time around

The leaks are the most unavoidable they've probably ever been

[ionic vortex]

I do have a Bluesky account

I use it fairly often and haven't had any leaks forced down my throat yet but still

[spice timber]

you said that you saw the leaks on twitter, where you can't block any spoilers

[ionic vortex]

I was literally just trying to get some art

The account didn't have any warning about that kind of content

[spice timber]

it's not like we can get mad at someone for not spoiler tagging art if we're actively seeking out their art, though

[ionic vortex]

That art wasn't a leak though

[spice timber]

you got unlucky with that person

[ionic vortex]

The design literally came to them in a dream

[spice timber]

and does that mean they can't ever draw their interpretation of leaked designs ever?

so people who aren't logged into the site and can't block them won't get spoiled?

[ionic vortex]

...

Honestly yeah kind of

[spice timber]

it's not personal

[ionic vortex]

Like at the very least maybe wait for the designs to be revealed officially before you give your interpretations based on the leaked descriptions

Something like that?

Best of both worlds really

[spice timber]

this is literally impossible

[surreal vault]

I think the writing was on the wall that you needed to cut yourself off from the fandom completely if you were willing to go in blind.

[spice timber]

considering they don't reveal every design before releasing the game

listen

you're gonna keep getting spoiled with this mindset and it won't be anyone else's fault but yours

as much as i'd like it to be the case, the world doesn't revolve around us

[ionic vortex]

I shouldn't have to

Not dismissing your point here

[spice timber]

so everyone else has to bend to your will?

if i post a picture of my interpretation of a z-a mon, do i have to be afraid of your orwellian gaze on me?

[surreal vault]

What does that have to do, you're not gonna post it untagged

[spice timber]

there's a line between "this person is an asshole because they posted spoilers in a spoiler-free area" and "i'm upset because i went to a place where i can't block spoilers and got spoiled"

[spice timber]

they're upset because they were looking up an artist on twitter, where they can't block spoilers, and got spoiled

[ionic vortex]

I WAS TRYING TO GET A SINGLE FUCKING PIECE OF ART FROM BEFORE ALL THE LEAKS EVEN STARTED

THAT WAS ALL I WANTED FROM THAT ARTIST

[spice timber]

maybe next time, you could ask someone who's seen/is okay with seeing spoilers to grab it for you?

[ionic vortex]

And the thing is these aren't regular old spoilers, they're leaks

If the game had just came out and I was going through the story then I'd understand to steer clear for a while

But that's not the case

[spice timber]

and there's nothing we can do about it but adapt

[ionic vortex]

It's like a rotten apple in a basket or whatever

It's so much more unpredictable

I feel like some of my points here probably come more from a place of bitterness and tiredness of just how many times this has happened out of my control

[spice timber]

it's not unpredictable, you went to a site you knew you couldn't control what you saw

[ionic vortex]

I FUCKING GET IT LET ME TALK

Like a few days back I made this post on Reddit talking about what potential pokémon Like and Dot might get as their third

[broken jetty]

Hey

[ionic vortex]

And logically I narrowed it down to ones that would have megas

...

Sorry

I kinda snapped

[spice timber]

it's okay, i'm being an asshat

[ionic vortex]

I just felt like Tank was reiterating the same point over and over and it was just making me upset

[spice timber]

i'm admittedly really tired as well

i was, because i felt like you were doing the same without understanding where your issue was coming from

[ionic vortex]

But then some ASSHOLE came in and replied to another person saying that ||the nidos weren't getting megas (Because the person they replied to said it would be cool if maybe they got megas in Z-A, likely unaware of the leaks)||

Completely untagged

[spice timber]

that's also reddit though, which is a historically unsafe place for spoilers

[spare hare]

if you all know you're going too far

please stop

instead of continuing

[ionic vortex]

Some common decency would be nice at least

[spice timber]

alright

[ionic vortex]

It just doesn't feel fair is all...

So many instances where it's been blasted right in my face

Even when I'm not like looking through someone's profile or something else potentially risky

Wow it is late...

[broken jetty]

I think you both should break the discussion here, I understand the frustration can happen and may upset you, and I can get that and agree, the whole spoiler community and situations are very muddy and can ruin your day. Had that happened to me in past, and it did made me upset, but there’s nothing I could really and fully avoid unless I stop using social media at once
But this server isn’t place to discuss about it, or argue about it, in the end, no one can really do anything about it or to stop the situations of the spoilers
This is a leak channel where we discuss about leaks, not discussing or venting about how leaks can be harmful or annoying

Hopefully you’ll understand, and if there’s something you need to get them out of your head, I suggest taking to DM or someone trustworthy

I hope you’ll feel better soon and hopefully you won’t get blasted leaks in your face, Adam

[ionic vortex]

I guess all I can really do is wait

Wait for the next trailer to finally come

[spice timber]

we should get it next month

going off of the pokemon news cycle pattern

[ionic vortex]

||And that one's GOTTA be about the new megas right? Like what else could they do for the next trailer? We already know the deal with the tournament thing||

[ionic vortex]

https://tenor.com/view/peter-griffin-but-i-want-it-now-gif-26307521

Why couldn't that weird coincidence with the Pokémon Presents and Switch 2 Direct air dates be more than just a weird coincidence...

[shell sand]

i wouldnt call that a grand reveal but honestly they really should just show what htey have

feels less like having to wait and see if its worth it

[spice timber]

when they show what they have, usually it looks bad

the legends arceus 5fps chimecho is a good example of why they wait a while to begin deep diving into stuff

[shell sand]

no it gave us epic moments like Sun and Moon's hype season

now they dont do that and everyone has to wait until the game is released to realize "oh it was even less than expected"

[spice timber]

that's just wrong?

they release like half or 2/3rds of the dex nowadays, so a good amount of new mons are kept as surprises

if they revealed everything for sv, the moment where the paradoxes are revealed ingame wouldn't hit nearly as hard

sun and moon's hype season dulled out on launch because they had literally shown everything but like two pokemon

[shell sand]

i dont think launch needs to be so hype considering the game just gets released at that point for everyone to watch play and discover

like its such a weird thought process to say "nah they shouldnt show that much" like. look at every other game showcasing gameplay and then you see Pokemon barely showing anything

they could be on Nintendo Today posting idk! random clips of the camera literally just spinning around a street in Lumiose but they dont bother

literally better than silence

[torn ore]

Switch era marketing of Pokemon just sucks in general

[tropic pollen]

kinda agree

I think it's nice to celebrate Pokemon day but it kinda sucks that we always get very little after

[runic prawn]

it is funny because I thought SuMo also revealed too much but it was at least almost weekly news

[shell sand]

you know how like Z-A has a realtime battle system this time

they cuold literally just like post videos "here's Scatterbug" or something and he's just doing attacks in the realtime battle system

spoiler free and interesting to see because you get to see the game being a game

[tropic pollen]

they could show moves yea

[spare hare]

fwiw the 3ds games also did this exact same marketing schedule

[spice timber]

they need to do like

arg videos of random pokemon

doublade but they set it to monochrome and cranked the saturation up to 200% so it looks like wing gaster

[spare hare]

they did do this though

maybe not a true "arg" but stuff where it's a mystery beforehand

in fact they did the exact thing you're talking about with sirfetch'd

[spice timber]

precisely

[tropic pollen]

that shit was so funny

[spice timber]

they should do this more

[spare hare]

they also did stuff like the grafaiai teaser

[shell sand]

im more interested in seeing how they implemented the new battle system personally

[runic prawn]

funny 24 hour stream

[spare hare]

https://tenor.com/view/ponyta-galar-glow-rainbow-pokemon-gif-15217288

[surreal vault]

FFGHGHGJDHFH

Oh my god I forgot about this

[spare hare]

it's really funny looking at it with hindsight now

[spice timber]

THE LIVESTREAM

poor joe serebii..

[shell sand]

maybe they got too embarassed to do that again

24 hoour livestreams

the game didnt even look that good as the livestream..

[spice timber]

in the game's defense, the fairy forest and ballonlea not only looked basically the same as the livestream's depiction of it, but was also probably the best looking area in the game

it would have been significantly funnier if they did a livestream in the wild area

[north fjord]

Didn’t they do a week long Pokemon Sleep livestream and specifically warned that there was nothing revealed in it because of the reaction of the last livestream

[arctic bobcat]

they did do a teaser for Hisuian Zorua/Zoroark right
I assume they'll only do teasers if they plan on revealing new designs so like
could still happen with Mega Evolution designs

[spare hare]

yeah they did

that was the mockumentary one

[torn ore]

And it was the best one they ever made

And epic reveal for an epic design that I've fallen in love with ever since

I'm just wondering once the Z-A marketing fully kicks off, (leak spoilers) ||Would the Mega Kalos starters be revealed prerelease? Could be a nice marketing boost while the Mega ZA starters are the ones they keep for release||

[surreal vault]

||These past 2 gens have been unwilling to fully spoil starters so I doubt we'll see their megas||

||I think they would tease them maybe||

[torn ore]

ZA was apparently dumped and a rom is out there (in private circles)

Not only does the marketing suck but even the leaks do lmao

"Oh it's out there!.... with a few select people!"

[surreal vault]

This has been known for months

[torn ore]

Bringing it up rn cus Pory tweeted sum shit

[surreal vault]

tweeted what

[surreal vault]

Yeah this isnt anything new

[runic prawn]

it's a time bomb...

[surreal vault]

Im suprised they've been able to keep those people from spreading it for so long.

[shell sand]

i watched like

idr was it 3 hours

2 hour long video

about the guy actually did the Giga Leak

[runic prawn]

yeah legit I'm surprised it has been that long

[shell sand]

its gonna become 3 hours long if Z-A actually did leak

[surreal vault]

we narrowly avoided the timeline where a playable ROM was spread before the first gameplay clips would have been revealed

[spice timber]

i'm honestly astonished that it didn't leak when the teraleak started

and doubly astonished that it didn't leak when the teraleaker's friend began dumping stuff about it to twitter leakers

[spice timber]

if i had to guess, the reason poryleeks is making a big deal out of it is because they actually have the rom now

when before, they only had select things the leaker was giving them

[surreal vault]

I dont think that's new information either?

I think they're just confirming that yeah they do have it

[spice timber]

if they have the rom, that means it's a lot more public than it seems

it only takes one person like moot leaking it for all hell to break loose

[spare hare]

just a reminder about poryleeks

(this)

[spice timber]

yeah, that too

the twitter leakers are susceptible to bait

[torn ore]

ZA leaks ||Looks like Ballguy's leak about Emma appearance was also correct||

||Wait no maybe I'm wrong, the exact details are not accurate. But I remember someone mentioned her wearing an Essentia suit under the coat||

[grizzled turret]

Pokémon Masters:

||They’re only putting Larry around other old men. What do they mean by this?||

[torn ore]

||Also neither of those Necrozma can go Ultra btw||

[spice timber]

this wasn't a true leak

it was an inference based on trailer shots

or at least, if they intended it to be a real leak, it was one that was pretty obvious from the trailer

[rough kelp]

unfortunately this confirm that masters is non-canon ||because they let larry have a rest||

||Drooling at how the milotic colors scheme is so beautiful that crisp blue can be mistaken as stylized waves lapping on beach sand and breaking over (albeit red) rocks||

[ionic vortex]

Heh funny how they managed not to spoil the starters at all

Guess it makes sense to just use the Kalos ones anyways just in-case

[spice timber]

technically it's still kalos starters

[ionic vortex]

Yeah okay nerd

[ionic vortex]

Okay what fucking copyright "issue" was this one?

That is literally just the French flag colours

Actually question mods

Given the leak well ran dry months ago, do you think it would be okay to just talk about leaks for already-released stuff unspoilered?

Things like beta content and whatnot

Obviously future stuff would still need to be spoilered and specified, that goes without saying

[shell sand]

it just means less legal nonsense if something goes horribly off course i think

[ionic vortex]

Hm yeah, not all of these were really copyright-related

[torn ore]

I guess anything that looks like a flag is not allowed on anything paper or fabric

[rose junco]

wasn't copyright issue, it was because it was considered a weird choice for an Alola-related ribbon

[ionic vortex]

Oh

Yeah that makes sense

[torn ore]

Oh wait it was for Alola lmao

Nvm

[rose junco]

(specifically it's the Alola Champion Ribbon btw)

[ionic vortex]

Erm actually that's a digital image you uhhhhh stupid stinky moron

Gottem

[torn ore]

Though Adam has a good question, when can the Teraleak stuff for the already-released games be allowed to talk about outside like the Spaceworld beta stuff

Or is the spaceworld stuff still contained in here lol

[ionic vortex]

Wouldn't be surprised if some of that stuff has already been posted in other channels already, like some of the humourous beta sprites

[torn ore]

Or like my crudely doodled Rayquaza profile picture which was from Zinnia's concept art lmao

||does sword form have enough damage to justify that bad of a downside||?

[harsh lion]

||it is pretty strong||

[spice timber]

like

||kartana is in this game||

[harsh lion]

||Kartana doesn't have a blade form and a shield form though||

||Kartana is also notably not very good in pvp lol||

[spice timber]

||if these stats are on the same level as aegislash, it has significantly higher attack, a good amount of defense, and only somewhat lower hp||

ig that's fair

[harsh lion]

||This is designed to be for pvp and the one time they had a form-changing mechanic in pvp beforehand proved to be really really strong so I wouldn't be surprised if aegislash ends up being really powerful too||

||Psycho cut is a really good fast attack imo and the charged attack choices are. Well they're fine I'm surprised there's no cc or shadow sneak||

||It's just interesting because like, what do you mean "fast attacks do 0 damage in shield forme"||

||I think whether its an immunity to it or that its own fast attacks deal 0 damage it's at least an interesting mechanic and a way to balance it, idk how the form change will actually work but I'm assuming shields turn it into shield form and charged attacks turn it into blade form||

||and if its both its hysterical lol||

[spice timber]

||it feels like you'd just want to stay in one form as much as possible||

||if it turns into kartana after one charged attack||

[harsh lion]

||I mean not really if shield form can't attack and blade form can't take hits you just have to play it the way it works||

||Oh yeah this was a thing also||

||I'm assuming if aegislash puts up a shield it drops the foe's attack by one stage||

[spice timber]

||that's quite strong, does switching revert stat debuffs like in the main series?||

[harsh lion]

||Yes||

||Shields also don't prevent the secondary effects of moves so for instance a Talonflame going for Flame Charge on an Aegislash's shield would get -1 from the shield and +1 from the Flame Charge, so it wouldn't be a debuff||

[harsh lion]

pokemon go

[runic prawn]

yup

[spice timber]

hm

so the leaks are real

very, very interesting

[shell sand]

dragoniteite lets go

[torn ore]

ZA Leaks ||Mega Kalos starters at Worlds or Direct then? They have a deadline til September to reveal them cus if the Ninja Spinner set coming this October. Most likely Worlds since they're all over the merch but we haven't seen a sign of them ingame||

[runic prawn]

||so excited mega falinks is real||

[spare hare]

btw

||naveen has a scraggy in one of their screenshots, lida has a staryu, and the rust syndicate guy whose name idr has an arbok||

||their official renders have key stones and we know from leaks all 3 of those are megas||

[torn ore]

||Is that why Starmie has long legs. For dancing||

[spare hare]

😭

[torn ore]

||Poison guy might have Mega Scolipede||

[spare hare]

||oh wait nvm arbok wasn't confirmed||

||so yeah scolipede maybe||

[harsh lion]

||yea I didn't think it'd be Arbok I thought it was more like teasing a poison type mega (I didn't know which ones there'd be so LOL good job me for opening the spoilers)||

||I think he might just use mega steelix tho||

[velvet bobcat]

||Chat aren't like almost all of the Pokémon in this image ones with leaked megas||

Or that already have megas

||I mean like, their evolutions would have mega, not their first phase versions||

[spare hare]

||arbok, diggersby, ariados, talonflame don;t||

[velvet bobcat]

||I haven't seen the list of leaked megas in a while so I might be tripping||

[spare hare]

||noivern doesn't either iirc||

[velvet bobcat]

||arbok fans it's so over||

||Oh noivern is there||

[runic prawn]

holy shit

[slow orchid]

Z-A ||Does anyone have the full mega list, i just wanna see them all again||

[spice timber]

one moment

[spice timber]

here's the leaked list of ||z-a megas||

[harsh lion]

||why is there only one gen 4 mega lmao||

[spice timber]

oh my god

the reason ||mega starmie is so fucked up is because it's the ace of the tierno dancing character||

||it grows legs to bust moves||

[slow orchid]

Appreciate it

[spare hare]

||when did turtonator and galvantula get added||

[spice timber]

they got tacked on in post

as like

||"yeah this might happen"||

[quartz mountain]

||So help me Scolipede better be an accurate leak||

[spice timber]

for this specifically, ||scolipede is supposedly the ace of the rust company poison dude, and this was mentioned far before this presents in leaks||

[quartz mountain]

||skarmory too||

[small mountain]

||Is this updated or outdated? i thought the list stopped at zygarde, and that zeraora wasnt happening anymore||

||i thought they banished it…||

[spice timber]

it's updated, but everything after ||zygarde|| is dubious

[small mountain]

intchresting intchresting…

[wanton trail]

What are the ||last 3 slots||

[spice timber]

i think it was like ||there were 3 other mons in that dubious post-zygarde zone||

[surreal vault]

||I forgot how fire this list was lmao||

||One day I will return to pokemon brainrot||

[wanton trail]

Plza ||someone sent me this mega meganium. No clue if real but idk how to feel about it||

[shell sand]

are leaks actually leaking now

actually i feel like this is too perfect to be a real 3d model

some features are strangely symmetrical despite facing one side

[spare hare]

that's not real yeah

[tepid eagle]

More proof

[cunning tartan]

||The lighting and the way it looks against the ground and the player/Absol suggest it's fake.||

[spare hare]

tcg pocket ||so apparently italy accidentally uploaded a trailer for the next set early (it's johto this time) https://streamable.com/fabmbu ||

||so we are getting a new set this month which begs the question why wasn't this in the presents lmao||

genuinely baffling

[runic prawn]

lol what

||ESPEON EX||

[tepid eagle]

Yeah || especially with how huge pocket is||

||I have this ultimate guide to Pokémon magazine I got because of the amazing cover having Kirby on it for some reason and it mainly talks about tcgp with everything else getting only like 3 pages all together ||

[torn ore]

||With a possible Nintendo Direct next week, think maybe they'll reveal at least one more new Mega there?||

[spare hare]

i think it's possible yeah

in fact i might even say likely

||they've been promoting z-a a lot with the directs recently, and i think part of why is bc z-a is really good marketing for switch 2 ||

||i could see a random mega dropped bc sure why not||

||i mean if we're really getting 20+ new ones, they could stand to be a little less stingy in marketing now that we're less than 3 months away lol...||

[torn ore]

I'm lowkey hoping it's ||Mega Kalos starters cus they're still suspiciously missing and if they reveal the Mega Greninja TCG set at Worlds then they need to reveal them beforehand considering mainline reveals are always last at Worlds lmao||

[spare hare]

||that'd be a good pick for a direct||

||it makes sense to market the kalos starter megas since they're popular but you also don't have to spoil the megas for the actual starters||

||well at least greninja is popular ig the other two get honorary starter aura buffs||

[torn ore]

||Yeah they're giving it its own TCG set right after the Mega Charizard one and on Z-A month as well lmao||

[silver shore]

||Mega Barbaracle turns in to rock/fighting?||

[ionic vortex]

AustinJohnPlays released a video about the Z-A leaks and the put the ||pokémon|| in the thumbnail with like the bare-minimum level of blurring

Just letting y'all know to look out since he's pretty popular and all

I don't care that they're blurred, either blur them further so that they're incomprehensible or just don't put them in the thumbnail at all...

[wanton trail]

Crackhead theory: ||The final three slots are Typhlosion, Samurott, and Serperior||

[arctic bobcat]

||typhlosion and samurott getting two hot dogs||

pokemon go^

||that motherfucker WANTS candy oh my god||

[spice timber]

THE FUCK?

||28 CANDY MINIMUM PER LEVEL||

||actually fucking impossible to level without being there for the event raids||

[harsh lion]

||apparently the math adds up to 520k stardust (which is very standard), 9484 candy and 4028 xl candy||

there's this too

||this greedy fuck||

[spice timber]

not to mention

||these are max raids, which are impossible to stockpile particles for||

[harsh lion]

||not to mention you only get one Eternatus btw||

[spice timber]

||bro eternatus is NOT that valuable of a pokemon 😭||

[harsh lion]

||getting eternatus to 3/3/3 max moves and level 50 is going to be the pokemon go equivalent of being an nft dudebro and we should bully people for it. well. if playing pokemon go wasnt that already anyway||

||also eternatus is only available through a GO Pass LOL||

||that candy gain from eternamax raids better be good bc wtf||

[spice timber]

i swear

||every single pokemon go addition has the biggest fucking asterisk on it||

[harsh lion]

||its the free version of a go pass and itll be uncapped during the actual event like the ones for go tour and go fest||

[spice timber]

||i wish being this cynical about it wasn't so prophetic||

[harsh lion]

||well most of the time they do and when time passes and they become available again it's no longer like that||

||probably bc they find new things to monetizationcreep the previous additions lol||

||see rookidee in its debut events vs now||

[spice timber]

||you're not gonna be winning the raids, it's a dragon/poison type with fire coverage||

[harsh lion]

||i don't think they'll have eternatus available normally for a while though but if solgaleo and lunala are any indication that might end up being the case||

[harsh lion]

||i mean its gonna be Doable but i expect it to be a mix of the legendary birds and gigantamax raids||

[spice timber]

||fucking with the amount of resources needed to level up a mon at base is a really bad sign||

[harsh lion]

||so like. if you get a bad move combination you lose lmao||

[spice timber]

because like

[harsh lion]

||oh for sure i don't think it'll be the norm from now on though but i definitely agree||

[spice timber]

||all the ways to accelerate candy are gonna be worthless for eternatus||

[harsh lion]

||level 50 normally is 296 xl candy which is still a lot but it isn't in the Fucking Four Thousands||

[spice timber]

||rare candies, walking||

||you can't even stockpile particles for raids when they happen||

||you HAVE to pull out your wallet and you HAVE to hard grind eternatus raids to get the levels||

[harsh lion]

||i wonder how much "a large amount" is||

lmao 😭

||also it says MP limit will increase for the event so maybe theyre gonna go all out with making it Big||

||thats still an insane amount of candy tho LOL ive never even had a mon with that many||

[spice timber]

||it'd have to be like, 100 per raid minimum||

||probably significantly more||

[harsh lion]

||beat ~90 eternamax eternatus over a weekend lol||

[spice timber]

||this also doesn't count the 30 candy requirement for its overworld boost||

[harsh lion]

the whahuh

[harsh lion]

||adventure effect?||

||lmfao||

||holy shit lmao||

||tbh i feel like this is pretty useless||

||the one time they made max raids harder they had to roll the change back||

[spice timber]

||beat 100+ eternatus raids in 2 days in the mechanic that you cannot stockpile resources for and cannot reliably get groups to accomplish||

||for ONE ETERNATUS BTW IT'S GONNA GET A SHINY RELEASE SOMEDAY||

[harsh lion]

||oh yeah i actually never thought of that. this mon is totally going to be back in regular or max raids in like a year or two lol||

[spice timber]

||we also don't know how many candies the raids are gonna give to begin with||

||you don't even get anything else of note for them||

[harsh lion]

Z-A ||oh my god i just realized mega malamar is going to be emma's ace||

|| 🥹 🥹 🥹 🥹 🥹 🥹 ||

[spice timber]

OH RIGHT

there's extra stuff for that

now that we know the leaks are real, there's a bunch of story/character stuff that also got confirmed

[harsh lion]

||idk stuff about the mega designs or the story / characters besides the one under mega dragonite in the same post||

||but i will also. Not look here anymore i was just discussing emmas pokemon elsewhere and came here bc of that realization||

[spice timber]

oh, mb

i'll just dump the stuff here for people curious

[harsh lion]

oh no dont worry yeah you can still post it obviously lol

[spice timber]

Z-A STORY/CHARACTER SPOILERS

so, all of this stuff was posted over the last several months, and a lot of it was confirmed to be real in the presents the other day
i don't think this stuff is all of it, but i do know that it's all likely true
i also censored out the names, but a fair few of em are the twitter leakers anyways, primarily ballguy and pearlenthusiast

[velvet bobcat]

||strange to see no returning gym leaders considering the gym in the city, i wonder whats up with that||

||maybe it was just relocated or like. the whole gym and champion stuff just ended||

||>"quasartico doesn't want them in the public eye"

usa flag emoji reaction
lol||

||xerosic and emma interactions oh my god we're so back||

heavy story spoilers !!

[shell sand]

THEY DID WAHT TO ||XEROSIC||

[velvet bobcat]

||he's becoming GRANDPA||

[shell sand]

thats not who i mentioned...

[shell sand]

:( ||i liked his original big stature design||

[velvet bobcat]

||no i mean he's likely gonna be white haired too since hes old in xy and way older now||

||im glad!! cuz he had such a good dynamic with emma||

||i really wanna see looker too, unless his absence is used as plotpoint for something with emma and xerosic, which i could see happening||

[wanton trail]

Za ||I KNEW THE MEGA SCOLIPEDE WOULD BE CORBEAU’S ACE||

[lilac saffron]

|| I think I'm out of the loop, does anybody know what Ange is ?||

[arctic bobcat]

||either new legendary pokemon, the A in the game's title opposite Zygarde or it's the top trainer||

[spice timber]

according to leaks, it's STORY/GAMEPLAY SPOILERS ||mega zygarde||

[north fjord]

||It does line up with the leaked description||

[velvet bobcat]

||so it just gets fat as fuck||

[shell sand]

so it just ||eats something?||

[velvet bobcat]

||that cutiefly is NOT surviving||

[shell sand]

its big enough to ||eat mammals|| surely

[grizzled turret]

Mega leaks as a whole: ||Who’s gonna say it? A lot of questionable decisions here if the leaked mega scrafty is also real…||

[spice timber]

where did you see ||mega scrafty's design||?

we actually have every new design

it's just all in text form

okay, update

it is fanart

dubious truthfulness still, especially with the fact that ||it still correlates extremely well to the actual leaked design||, but it's probably safe to discard

[shell sand]

we can leave it as a funny thing to point if its real later

[spice timber]

yeah

[grizzled turret]

||I don’t have the image on me but it’s that one with the white body ||

Maybe I hallucinated it idk but I swear I saw it before

Unless that one was already debunked

[spice timber]

Z-A FULL ROSTER SPOILERS
these are all of the leaked text descriptions for the new designs, which are likely real due to calling mega dragonite's design 1:1

[grizzled turret]

Still crazy to think that all the designs may exist in some dusty corner of the internet considering the teraleak

I know it was said that they wouldn’t be released but imagine if they stuck them on some old forum literally nobody goes to anymore. Would be funny

Like I remember watching an old jwittz video and he says “discuss this video and other pokemon topics on the Pokemon forever forum” and I was like damn when was the last time I heard about that

[north fjord]

Nowadays that sorta stuff has been replaced by niche discord servers

[spare hare]

Which will be and is already horrible for being able to look up things and preserve information but oh well

[grizzled turret]

Yall ever wonder how much info lewtwo of his sources are hoarding

But that’s besides the point

[spice remnant]

Funny discord turning all modern nerd information into dark web content

[torn ore]

Lewtwo has sources?

[grizzled turret]

Pretty sure he has friends in Japan that have worked on Pokemon

[spare hare]

got the words mixed up and read this as "lewtwo has friends?" 😭

[north fjord]

Ridiculous concept ain’t it

[grizzled turret]

I’m sorry I brought him up but I’m a dedicated hater

[torn ore]

Was almost tempted to say it ngl lmao

[torn ore]

PMEX

[quartz mountain]

Exactly how I imagined him, ||though the "what kind of power is this?" voiceline has odd inflection imo||

[ionic vortex]

https://tenor.com/view/popcorn-laugh-minion-mimon-gif-5372329253926554445

||But Idunno, he's just got this weird squeaky inflection to him||

||I've seen multiple people say he sounds more like a grown man trying to speak like a young teenager||

||Rather than, y'know, an actual young teenager||

[shell sand]

thats just par for the course for ||anime voice acting||

[cunning tartan]

||is there supposed to be voicelines? Or is my discord just not playing the sound||

[shell sand]

you have to get on the site to hear the audio

[ionic vortex]

Yeah Idk what's up with that either

Might be because it's a Rxddit link and not a Reddit one, might screw something up in the process

[cunning tartan]

It's rxddit

[ionic vortex]

Yeah that's what I said

[cunning tartan]

Just found this that embeds the video/images/audio, but none of the additional text. So you can either get all the text/properly embedded images, or sound.
|| https://www.vxreddit.com/r/KieranDefenseSquad/s/8zqNxsJQU2 ||

||also this voice...||

[spice timber]

oh my GOD ||HE SOUNDS SO ASS?||

[surreal vault]

||Oh my LORD||

[ionic vortex]

||They should've just made him sound like Koichi or something||

||That'd be the perfect voice||

[quartz mountain]

||whats so wrong about his voice 😭 ||

[shell sand]

this which i agree but tbh you cant really get someone to ||sound like a real teenager||

[spice timber]

||i want to shove him into a locker and take his lunch money||

||he's got that low quality generic shonen protag voice||

||this guy bullies people in indigo disk||

[spare hare]

||tbh this is just par for the course for masters ex voice acting overall||

||although i will say, i really like who they chose for carmine||

||also though kieran is a pretty huge dork||

[spice timber]

||i kinda feel like, if there was voice acting in the actual game of sv and this was kieran's voice, his arc wouldn't have hit nearly as hard||

[spare hare]

||i mean to be fair the va doesn't really get to express any real range here so||

[spice timber]

yeah, that's fair

[spare hare]

||i don't think it's necessarily a fair comparison||

[spice timber]

i doubt masters ||is a good context for non-enthusiastic voice casting||

[spare hare]

what do you mean by this

[spice timber]

i'm thinking like

[spare hare]

||since this is post-indigo disk kieran he's just back to being a big dork who goes wowzers again so i guess it's fitting enough that he sounds something like this even if you don't like the specific voice||

[spice timber]

||all of these characters, by nature of being in a gacha, can't really develop as characters and are kind of stuck in their current states||

[spare hare]

||we don't really know if the va would be capable of sounding mean or angry enough since we literally just don't get to hear any of that here||

[spice timber]

yeah, that's part of it

[spare hare]

||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWe7-A3McHw ||

i like how they did ||carmine though||

[spice timber]

||this is the kieran that goes wowzers, but because it's only the kieran who goes wowzers, we don't get to see that really important part of his character||

[spice timber]

oh this is WAY better

||she sounds exactly how she speaks ingame||

[spare hare]

||honestly i feel like masters in general is just like. well that's fine i guess for the voice acting but i do think they managed to nail how carmine would sound ||

this is totally Z-A LEAKS ||mega victreebel||, right?

[torn ore]

||Yes and I'm MAD because it's another KANNNTOOOOOOO mega lmao||

[harsh lion]

pokemon go

||KANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO||

[neat needle]

Turns out it is ||in fact victreebell 😭||

||this video literally spoils who it is through the description https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qA8onE8hsKk||

[spare hare]

lmfao

[spice remnant]

Bruh

[spare hare]

well i'll still catch it live ig bc i want to see the design but this is really funny

also bc silksong news 1.5 hours afterwards...

||> There have been rumors about a mysteriously sweet scent coming from a certain building. Check out this found footage exploring the building’s darkened halls—parts of which seem to have been melted. What truths about Mega Victreebel and its Trainer will spill out by the end? ||

||so will we get a new npc reveal too?||

||i like the idea of revealing megas with their trainers ||

[spice timber]

oooooooh wait

||npc reveal||?

this just got way more interesting

[torn ore]

||Does this kinda imply that there's something else other than Victreebel?||

||Would it kill them to reveal something not Kanto next time||

[arctic bobcat]

||2 million more megas for gen 1||

||this is the real proof they know how to design for gen vi's ambitions ||

[north fjord]

For those asking

Here’s the rumored/leaked Megas for Z-A

[spare hare]

||this is missing some like eelektross i think||

||also it's very funny to me that of the 26 megas we know are in the game rn, the first 2 they've revealed have been kanto||

||but there's only 4 kanto megas anyways||

[north fjord]

Here we go

[spare hare]

||also i've used like. 90% of these ingame already lmao 😭 ||

||the only ones i haven't are barbaracle and drampa||

[harsh lion]

||Megas are going to be postgame its fine||

||(we already know this isnt the case)||

[spare hare]

||and zygarde, zeraora, and eternal flower floette (duh)||

[harsh lion]

||Oh wait we're still going on about mega zeraora huh i thought thatd gotten Deconfirmed or whatever||

||cool||

||if it means there's no "A" legendary i'll gladly take Zeraora Screentime||

[spare hare]

||i don't think it's confirmed||

||it wasn't in the build the leakers played iirc, we're just going off the mention in internal documents + the fact the leakers technically played an earlier build||

||the other 26 all have descriptions from the leakers which implies they're in the game, zeraora didn't||

[harsh lion]

||Ohh it's like a Rumored Leak basically||

||its just like||

||going off teraleak(?) / anime leaks and not the actual game then right||

||it might not even be in z-a at all then||

[spare hare]

yep

[surreal vault]

||It'd be disappointing if it didn't make it into the game||

[spice timber]

doesn't that site say that ||mega zeraora and the other 5 rumored mons (galvantula/turtonator/etc) are gonna be added in post||?

[arctic bobcat]

||inb4 event pokemon gets event mega evolution||

||granted it's weird for a legends game to do this stuff but game freak can do new things (or well old things)||

[spare hare]

||well pla had mythicals obtainable within the game so if zeraora did get a mega it'd probably be in there somewhere||

[harsh lion]

||ok so like which ones could realistically hit above 150 base speed||

||i feel like its just greninja and zeraora||

[spare hare]

||Pretty much just those two if any||

[harsh lion]

Z-A ||I just read "clefable is fairy flying" and started shaking in fear||

||What the hell it doesn't even learn any flying moves except Dual Wingbeat. Are they giving this aerilate.||

||Like yeah i guess it could learn another and more||

Z-A ||I dont have to read anything else. Im free. Im vindicated. I feel alive.||

[spice timber]

i've heard that Z-A ||mega falinks and barbaracle might be counterparts here, due to both of them being fighting types with a multiple guys motif||

[harsh lion]

||tbf what does that even do its just one game LOL||

[spice timber]

||it might be that the mega falinks user and mega barbaracle user are rivals or partners||

[harsh lion]

||This is funny||

[spare hare]

||clawitzer left out ||

[harsh lion]

||Oh i was talking about his ace becoming non water but that too 😭||

||My wanting to separate pokemon that are version exclusive counterparts has led to possibly the worst outcome ever: i have to accept that clawitzer wont be getting a mega, and only clawitzer wont be.||

||well i guess they did this with mawile and sableye in xy #TheresHope||

[spice timber]

heads up

there's a new image of Z-A SPOILER ||mega meganium|| that's likely real

i'm not posting it here because it has a slur in the watermark, but it's accurate to the leaked description

it'll probably start floating around in a day or two

[spice timber]

second image

of MASSIVE Z-A SPOILERS ||mega zygarde||, without the slurs this time

MASSIVE MASSIVE HUGE FUCKING Z-A SPOILERS DO NOT CLICK IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILED

this, from the quality and artstyle, is very likely real

[spare hare]

the other one that leaked also looks a lot like the leaked description and also looks pretty good

[spice timber]

and here's an image of this (SPOILERS) without the slur

they're both fully accurate to the leaked descriptions and have the same lighting/artstyle that z-a has

[spare hare]

||tbh the leaked descriptions were actually pretty good in hindsight lol||

||like they did a good job of describing the pokemon in detail||

[spice timber]

yeah, defo

the only thing they missed so far was ||mega victreebel's bloatedness being because of its poison||

poryleeks confirmed these two are real

which like, i know it's twitter leaker bs

aand that they've been super wrong

but apparently a blurry, zoomed out image of the Z-A SPOILERS ||mega zygarde image, where you can see part of its dex entry|| was floating around leak circles beforehand

[versed wigeon]

||why is mega zygarde holding a nuke?||

[surreal vault]

||Oh jesus||

[white garden]

||zygarde turned into that one enemy from mario odyssey||

[shell sand]

i feel like these are all fake and its just Victreebel's reveal making people post more designs that resemble the leaked descriptions

[quartz mountain]

||Cant wait to see mega scolipede ❤️ ❤️🫀 🫀 🫀 ❤️ ❤️ 🫀 ❤️ 🫀 🫀 ||

[spice timber]

this is huge speculation, but (TERALEAK/Z-A STORY SPOILERS) ||i have a hunch that this design is an adaptation of an old concept for xy from the teraleak talking about the ultimate weapon being some form of virus controlling a monster||

if i had to guess, ||the zygarde cells are keeping the "monster" (the glowing green body under the skin in the mega) in check, and this mega is the monster somehow managing to control them and use their power to create that huge ass nuke to cause devastation, potentially in a bid to reset the environment to a blank slate||

it'd give a reason as to why (STORY SPOILERS) ||quasartico wants to find a trainer that can defeat "ange" (who is zygarde, just with a weird codename), why zygarde-10% (the cells and a core) is following the player, and also why zygarde itself has a design made up of tiny cells that coalesce into a larger creature||

plus (STORY SPOILERS) ||the design itself kind of looks like a bacteriophage||

[quartz mountain]

||I LOVE BACTERIOPHAGES 🎉 ||

[wanton trail]

||GIANT LASER CANON||

[wanton trail]

ZA LEAKS ||apparently these are arts that display the full designs of all the new megas? Dragonite is accurate but Victreebel is not, we will find out if Hawlucha’s is accurate in 2 days||

[spice timber]

||these aren't actually the designs, they're based on leaked descriptions of each design||

FULL Z-A SPOILERS ||here's all of the design descriptions that those are based on||

[wanton trail]

Trailer Theory ||In all seriousness, if the pattern of new megas being revealed every Thursday persists, I’m gonna guess next week will reveal one of the gen 5 megas.||

[spare hare]

btw i think they learned their lesson from last time bc the pokemon asia eng yt channel doesn't have a premiere up rn lol

[silver shore]

||God, I can't wait for some people's crashout when mega starmie gets reveals||

||It's gonna be so funny||

[torn ore]

||This was posted on 4chan like 3 hours prior and I didnt believe it LMAO||

[surreal vault]

hmm

[silver shore]

||Which mega do y'all think is getting revealed last from the marketing Pokemon's doing?||

[spare hare]

tough call tbh

(huge mega list spoilers) ||eternal flower floette and zygarde are too story relevant to actually be revealed, i honestly doubt a tease too ||

||they might tease the starter evo megas (chikorita/tepig/totodile, not the kalos ones) for the last trailer, but i don't think they will reveal them||

||similar to how pla handled the final starter evos||

||for an actual last reveal and not just a tease, i think it probably would just be some random mon lol||

||oh i also doubt they will reveal mega scrafty and starmie since those are tied to the m-z members||

[north fjord]

||There’s also Scolipede/Dragalge that could be the villain’s ace||

[silver shore]

||water dragon mega feraligatr is gonna be so good man||

||Thank goodness gf gave him a dragon dual typing with his mega||

[runic prawn]

@wraith belfry please tag your messages here

I deleted your message since you didn't tag

[spice timber]

oh

so y'all know all that gen 10 stuff, that big ass list of pokemon and detailed description of the gimmick?

it's ALL fake

the dude who posted it all, moot, did it specifically to troll the twitter leakers

it being released alongside the real z-a leaks was probably why it got so much traction

[red garden]

I was always a little suspicious of it just because it felt too early for gen 10 stuff to leak compared to when new gen stuff typically leaks

[spice timber]

this also means that those ||5 extra megas not part of the 26, outside of zeraora, are fake||

[shell sand]

Cool

[spare hare]

tbh that was not even on my radar lmao 😭

[shell sand]

same

[quartz mountain]

@jade pine ok so the aforementioned ||leaks list of megas thats showing to actually have some validity to it|| is getting me hype because ||SCOLIPEDE is on it and I love to see my fav bug type or a bug type at all like that get recognition. Also Skarmory, another favorite of mine thats been neglected with no baby form nor evo getting a mega sounds so hype||

[jade pine]

||HELL YEAH SCOLIPEDE I LOVE THAT FAT FUCKING HORSE BUG||

[spare hare]

you gotta use tags in here btw

||but yeah i'm excited to see mega scolipede too||

[quartz mountain]

||HORSE BUG IS SUCH PEAK POKEDESIGN IM FERAL ABOUT THIS||

[spare hare]

it is peak

[quartz mountain]

yet another pokemon oc at that haha 😂

[spare hare]

||the gen 5 picks are pretty damn good||

[jade pine]

||I wonder if the trend of silly Mega's are gonna keep going||

[spare hare]

||and there's still a lot more they could've picked... but what they did is pretty cool||

[quartz mountain]

||silly mega? elaborate||

||dundunsparce is silly but thats a normal evo not mega||

[jade pine]

||like mega dragonite and mega victreebel||

[quartz mountain]

||Dragonite doesnt strike me as "silly" perse and victreebell is half silly half genuinely good advancement of the concept and intimidating
||

[jade pine]

||mega dragonites not like silly silly but i think the wings being attached to its head is really cute and silly||

[quartz mountain]

||Yea. Cute for sure but i wouldnt say silly? ||

I think the dragonite looking like that makes perfect sense considering the final evo of the line already derailing from the beauty and grace of dratini and dragonair to the big plush friendlier dragon..

[spice timber]

||mega dragonite's just pretty basic, and mega victreebel is goofy in a way that advances the design in an interesting fashion||

[quartz mountain]

it doesnt feel like its making the existing design silly or unserious-er than it already was

huge fan of mega victreebell

[slow garnet]

||I need Mega Chandelure NOW||

[spice timber]

aye, we got a clearer image of (z-a spoilers) ||mega starmie||

[sharp lake]

||Bro got that Shadow Generations Doom dimension filter lol.||

[stoic kindle]

||ain't no fuckin way
That's fuckin hilarious||

[cunning tartan]

||Bro looks like he's about to hit Gangham Style||

[surreal vault]

https://tenor.com/view/baby-gif-26024056

[silver shore]

LMAO

||Mega Starmie is going to look so funny in motion||

[vapid sorrel]

||Ten bucks says it glows iridescently, that’d be a great callback!||

[wanton trail]

||LMAO||

[tropic pollen]

I have a yes/no question, don’t wanna know anything else, don’t show me anythin’ just tell me
||have we heard anything more about whether Mega Zeraora exists or not?||

[spare hare]

||nop||

[spice timber]

||technically no, all we have is the mentions of it in the teraleak without any other substance||

[tropic pollen]

||Darn… I hope it’s real, only for the sake of availability||
Ty gang

[spare hare]

same, i need a ||non-shiny version of it for my living dex||

[tropic pollen]

||its one of four guys I need for a complete dex||

[silver shore]

||I REALLY hope they reveal the kalos/ZA starters in the September direct 😫||

||I really wanna see mega Greninja/feraligatr....||

[torn ore]

||The Kalos Starters has got to be prerelease reveals at least. Their lack of presence in any trailers and merch of a game in their own home region is building up to it||

[dense star]

(Z-a spoilers/leak idk)
||Why is Mega Starmie built like this, it's literally a bootleg Ghost from Xenoblade X 😭 ||

[spice remnant]

||Mega Starmie with cool glasses||

[shell sand]

if this is really what it looks like i think people hating the designs are justified

[spare hare]

||the guy who described the megas said it pretty much looked like this||

||they were extremely specific for all the other ones and then for this one they only posted an image of starmie with long legs and said the purple was vibrant||

[quartz mountain]

||got that height enhancing surgery where they just make ur legs longer||

[spare hare]

||since the dancer character has this one i'm hoping the animations will at least be funny||

[quartz mountain]

||With a "design" like this, they better have some animations carrying it||

[cunning tartan]

||gangham style starmie, pls game freak 🙏||

[velvet bobcat]

|| ||

[silver shore]

||LMAO||

||IT'S SO FUCKING GOOFY||

||I LOVE IT||

[silver shore]

||So.... have y'all seen that alleged drawing of mega feraligatr by ball guy?||

||From 4chan apparently||

[spice timber]

z-a spoilers, context for this

[silver shore]

||So it does function like a hoodie||

||Either way, it looks really cool, can't wait until it's officially revealed||

[quartz mountain]

||Is this feraligatr or druddigon???||

[cunning tartan]

yes

[neat needle]

||This made it sound like the design would be awkward lol, but it’s really good
gives like funky disco vibes||

[spare hare]

yeah i feel like they completely missed the point of the design lmao

||like hello? where's any mention of the big brain?||

[silver shore]

||More hope that mega starmie's animations is going to save it 🙏||

[harsh lion]

Z-A ||I really want to see mega greninja because the concept of it hanging down from the shuriken feels to me infinitely less appealing than having it stand/surf on it||

[sharp lake]

||Honestly yeah. I get “Ninja,” but it doesn’t have to be that on the nose.||

[surreal vault]

[shell sand]

||HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN??????????????????????????||

[spice timber]

||bro's balding||

[red garden]

||He didnt die in the base collapse but his hairline sure did|| /j

[spare hare]

||so there was a leak z-a was getting two dlcs||

[spice timber]

||the dlc being announced this early instead of on pokemon day does solidify that theory||

[quartz mountain]

SO so sad ||No mega scolipede shown just yet|| but im holding out for it

[silver shore]

||They're probably not going to reveal the za starters' megas 😔||

[spice timber]

i think it's pretty huge that the mega raichus ||were never in the leaks||

[wanton trail]

||that is what I'm most curious about||

||just how many megas weren't in the leaks?||

[spare hare]

well ||the mega raichu are part of the dlc so i'm assuming it's dlc we won't know about||

but hard to say for base game

[harsh lion]

||there is one that supposedly exists but not in z-a i guess||

[spice timber]

and there's multiple mega stones in that dlc trailer that ||don't match any mons we know of, both from gen 6 and the leaked z-a roster||

[spare hare]

actually random thought just occurred to me

(huge unrevealed mega spoilers) ||what do you think eternal flower floette's mega stone will be called. will they go the way of z crystals like aloraichium z and be something like eternalfloettite. or just floettite.||

||or maybe it won't even use a mega stone at all like mega rayquaza (i actually think this is possible)||

[harsh lion]

|| ^probably this||

||i forgot its an option lol||

[spare hare]

||it would make a lot of sense with its lore with the ultimate weapon honestly||

||also it'd be a fun way to make it even more broken lol||

[harsh lion]

||"eternal floette can mega evolve if it knows light of ruin" oh so thats why they never made it available||

[spare hare]

🔥

[runic prawn]

peak????

[hot zenith]

||Who does he think he is, the halfway point between A and Z is somewhere between M and N. Not L lmao||

||Wait, it's L and M. My bad I guess...||

||Also while I'm at it, do the Mega Stones that were shown at one point correlate to anything leaked?||

[rough kelp]

wow. looking at this for the first time after seeing the 8 revealed mega

||😭 these leakers are SO ASS at describing designs||

||where's the orange on chesnaught mf?????||

[spare hare]

i actually think the descriptions are pretty good for the most part

the only one that i think is severely lacking is the mega malamar one

[shell sand]

idk why y'all are so harsh on the ||Design descriptions. maybe theyre not even pokemon fan like come on yall||

[rose junco]

||probably meant this, even here it can be seen as an orangish yellow||

[wanton trail]

Mega spoilers ||so is mega zeraora confirmed not real||

[spare hare]

||we don't know for sure either way||

||the only mention of it being in z-a is from teraleak materials, but the leakers who played an early version of the base game said it wasn't in there||

||it could be cut, but it could also just be in a later version of base game||

||also, with the dlc existing and us not knowing about mega raichu, it's entirely possible it's just in the dlc too||

[rose junco]

||even if it doesn't make it in, it was real at some point either way||

[spice timber]

||yeah, and if the rest of the teraleak files release someday, there's a good chance we see its design like we did with mega jynx||

[spice timber]

new leaked z-a screenshot (side character spoilers)

proportedly, this is ||a guy who speaks offscreen in one of the official trailers connected to the rust syndicate||

[sharp lake]

||He gives you the TM for the new move; Real Tears||

[red garden]

||Loving the recent trend of pokemon character designs that are basically just 'Normal Man who wishes he could rethink his life choices' between this guy and Larry ||

[spice timber]

we got a full image leak for ||mega starmie||'s dex entry

the one that the other images of it were cropped from

biggest reveal: there's a ||genderless icon now||
||https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1212216851501940806/1419849021077585950/SPOILER_1758586625062727.webp ||

the big thing against it is ||the height and weight being the same as normal starmie, despite other megas having altered sizes||

[surreal vault]

||Goofy ass mega||

[shell sand]

...

👎🏾

[sharp lake]

||Starmie is a really cool mon, sad they did such an underwhelming mega for it. Comparing it to the Patrick Legs image is all it will have lol.||

[tropic pollen]

Wtf why is this not spoiler tagged on mobile

Weird

I was gonna come in here and say “damn is it that bad lmao”

||but yeah I guess it really is||

[proven bay]

||What the actual fuck?||

||Why does Mega Starmie look like that||

[spice timber]

i have to defend this design myself right now, cuz i feel like there's a piece of the puzzle missing from it in still images

||it's the ace of lida, a dancer, so this wack ass design is probably because it's gonna constantly be busting it down lumiose style ingame its animations||

[shell sand]

ok but they couldve picked literally any other mon for this

[surreal vault]

||There's gotta be something to it...||

[tropic pollen]

||It just doesn’t look mega evolved at all, it looks like the Mario 64 cursor stretched out its legs like Mario’s head||

[spare hare]

||i'm sure it'll probably have some funny animations but yeah this thing looks pretty lackluster
lol||

[shell sand]

||Ocicorio with the potential of a mega that fuses all the dancing|| but nah we get ||Starmie with legs because thats teh only way we can get it to dance||

[spice timber]

||i'm preeeetty sure it's designed after starmie's old animations from the 3d games where it's super mobile and flexible?||

[shell sand]

||i think you can achieve that by making ALL of its legs longer||

||like genuinely this is just thumbs down if its real||

[surreal vault]

||Kind of weird to base an entire mega after that instead of just updating starmie itself||

Well

[shell sand]

yeah like why ||is it only two of the legs||

again so many better ways to do it

[spare hare]

||well the intent is apparently to make it more humanlike/uncanny||

||which i don't think works if you make all the limbs longer||

||i think the general concept of it becoming humanlike like other eldritch starfish monsters in popular culture is good||

||but the design itself could have used a lot more sauce for sure||

||it doesn't really feel "mega"||

[shell sand]

ok so ||four of its legs then. but also it has a another star behind it its like what are they doing.||

[harsh lion]

||if the dex entry is real it's justification enough for the design to me, it is also just a poor design imo. i remember this being among the first megas that leaked and seeing it alongside mockups of two others and the official mega dragonite design dropped my expectations to basically zero for the game's new megas. i'm glad to have been proven wrong since i'm a fan of every other mega that's been revealed so far (barring the raichu maybe lol) but this is still super lame||

[tropic pollen]

||Here's what I always wanted for a Mega Starmie||

[shell sand]

im never a fan of ||the design is funny. Laugh|| type of designs

never liked it on stuff like ||GMax Meowth|| and other such designs

[shell sand]

yeah like 😭 its so easy to expand the concept

[tropic pollen]

||could prolly have added more but i think it gets the main ideas across. The tips glow||

[spare hare]

||like it's kind of crazy that we have both mega malamar and mega starmie in here||

||complete opposites in how crazy they go with the base design lol||

[shell sand]

if the ||mega starmie|| design is real do we even credit a specific artist for designing it

cuz like

no

[tropic pollen]

||praying its a fake lead 🙏 like Star Fox Grand Prix||

[shell sand]

||i mean its the same lead as every other mega that was correct||

||people pick apart the leakers descriptions like theyre extremely inaccurate but i feel like thats just really nitpicky||

||some people are like absolutely dumbfounded malamar's description didnt describe the brain but like literally every other part is described exactly||

[spice timber]

according to poryleeks (bad source, but still), z-a copies have apparently been in storage in the eu since september 19th

Pokémon Legends ZA Leak Tracker:

X · Sep 26, 2025, 2:42 AM

so we're likely a week or so away from leak season

[surreal vault]

one week until we learn about everything we already knew about

[spare hare]

leaks happen two weeks or less before release date anyways

[spice timber]

we'll be able to at least see the leaked designs

[wanton trail]

Im more curious about the designs

[torn ore]

If the Wave 1 of the DLC has leftover form data then we can find out who the DLC megas are

[surreal vault]

I highly doubt it

If the leaked builds don't seemingly have anything about it

[spice timber]

to be fair

the leaked builds are from august 2024, at the latest

[surreal vault]

I just
realized

Teraleak ||What if they scrapped Mega Zeraora in favor of the Mega Raichus....||

[runic prawn]

oh right leak season soon

[shell sand]

this is a win actualey

[tropic pollen]

||why are y'all celebrating this, Zeraora was gonna be available again for the first time in 5 years 😭 ||

[spice timber]

||i doubt they'd remove it from the game entirely if they scrapped its mega, it still needs a return anyways||

[shell sand]

they can still do that

[grizzled turret]

That dog that I hate

[harsh lion]

since i imagine z-a is going to be leaking soon i am now facing a terrible dilemma - "do i want to know what the full regional dex is before playing the game"

on one hand i already know all the new megas. on the other i think if you showed me an image saying #332 Kartana i might just explode from excitement

would love to know how many post gen 6 mons there are though ||the 2 new megas aside||

[shell sand]

i never found the excitement of seeing which mon was in the game in-game that exciting tbh

always preferred planning my team

[spice timber]

oh, speaking of leaks

we got an updated version of that one character graphic that ballguy's been touting around

it has actual sketches of a few of the new characters

Z-A CHARACTER/STORY SPOILERS

[velvet bobcat]

SUPER HEAVY SPOILERS ||team flare foodtruck lmfao||

[lethal iris]

Idk where else to say this but || Pokemon Sent PhillyBeatsu the full game ||

[spice timber]

wait, huh?

[wanton trail]

who

[spice timber]

they're flat-out giving influencers the game early?

that's a youtuber methinks

[lethal iris]

||Idk where I should give the tweet, to the mods? To Delivery Dee? Or here?||

[spice timber]

well, if he's a youtuber, he's not going to leak it

the game is going to leak soon, but i'd be surprised if it came from him

i think it's safe to mention in other chats

[lethal iris]

Ok, I’ll still tag it to be safe

||https://x.com/phillybeatzu/status/1972706512226152805?s=46&t=uMWNw54ve4DD5LEC_VveQQ||

[spare hare]

It's not something to be concerned about

People should be getting or have gotten review copies anyways

[spice timber]

that also doesn't look like a real title screen

it wouldn't have the big SWITCH 2 EDITION bolted onto it

[lethal iris]

I mostly wanted to bring this to alert people, because what if someone were to leak it out of spite

[spare hare]

Does he know

[spice timber]

no one partnered with pokemon would do that

wait

[spare hare]

(It absolutely would)

[spice timber]

they seriously did-oh

[spare hare]

Thats part of the official game title

[lethal iris]

Wdym tank

[spare hare]

They always include Nintendo switch 2 edition in the title now

[spice timber]

gross

[spice timber]

people sponsored/partnered with games like pokemon are under ndas

if they try to do something ballsy like that, they'd basically be blacklisted from ever getting any sponsors ever again

if that dude tried to leak z-a, he'd be shooting himself in the foot with a shotgun

[spare hare]

It's just standard procedure

People are getting the game before release so they can start pumping out reviews and promotions day 1

[spice timber]

when we get leaks, it'll be because some neanderthal stole a copy from a store's backroom or warehouse

or because a store began selling it early

[spice timber]

ayo? maybe? (just the avatar select screen)

[wanton trail]
