Leaks for Pokémon

[spare hare]

||and the one other z mega, garchomp z, isn't even available rn||

||so it really is just lucario z and absol z||

[shell sand]

to be quirky

[rough kelp]

(unreleased mega) ||wait shiny chomp z is kinda sick? like, as a pair to normal megarchomp. the contrast between black and pink is so nice||

[spare hare]

@tepid shuttle don't talk about that in the main thread

fyi (future content) ||no, apparently there will be an event later that will give you garchompite z||

anything from datamines talking about future content should be in here

[tepid shuttle]

apologies

[harsh lion]

unreleased mega ||bro i just saw mega garchomp z. this is the Volcanion of Z Megas||

||Locked to mystery gift easily the worst looking one of the three yeah yeah its Volcanion||

[spice timber]

||they'll make ranked online arenas a dark void for mega chomp's release trust||

[sharp lake]

||Garchomp with 151 speed will be scary out of PLZA tbh. Actually a case I wished it was the same type as before because special ground attackers are rare.||

||I actually think it’s at least better looking than the other Mega Garchomp but both of them are just worse than the base design tbh.||

[tropic pollen]

||so do we think Chomp Z will be on Pokemon Day, or earlier|| ZA datamine

[tropic pollen]

||just saw it. not gonna lie this does look kinda boring ||

||but i do like leaning more into its flying abilities||

[spare hare]

||i'm gonna say earlier||

||we have 4 more ranked seasons to go so they could drop it alongside one of those at any point||

[rough kelp]

||pokemon day, they gonna drop new cynthia suit with garchomp z in masters on the same day||

[harsh lion]

||definitely around january 10 just like pech||

[spice timber]

||the idle implies that it fully flies, which might look really cool in motion||

[rough kelp]

(unreleased content) ||so what the hell is garchomp z's deal for it to be the only thing locked? i feel like it has to tie into something right?

volo?????????||

[shell sand]

||the deal is that its garchomp 2 lole||

||literally thats it||

[spare hare]

||I havent heard of anything interesting being in the text dump for it so I think it genuinely is just being released as one of the other random rogue mega fights you do except they're just normal fights ||

[rose junco]

||yeah there's no side mission for it||

[shell sand]

just realized that ||the legends games so far have been targetting games that were critically panned for their first version of their region; Sinnoh (DP was ass), Kalos (XY was "too easy/boring," and now if leaks are true then theyre going to do Galar (story/presentation was ass)||

[arctic bobcat]

||i mean tbh their approaches have been different each time so idk if it has anything to do with reception||

||arceus was probably more for the sake of expanding on concepts they got when the idea of a remake came up considering the timing
Z-A feels pretty much just straight up the sequel to XY they wanted to make but couldn't so they're expanding on concepts they couldn't even cover in the original game
so Galar is like
probably a similar deal with expanding on concepts they liked
||

[shell sand]

||Those 3 regions are also the regions with a ton of scrapped ideas and got no game to revisit it||

[spare hare]

||i think it has more to do with these games having concepts they want to expand on and flesh out more than anything else||

[arctic bobcat]

||so that's probably why they skipped a Legends: Unova or whatever, because they already had two games to tell a story in||

[shell sand]

I personally think that ||it having tons of scrapped ideas + it being critically regarded as lesser than the other titles are related||

[arctic bobcat]

||sure i guess||

[spare hare]

||tbh the criticism is not actually reflected in discourse outside of vocal internet communities||

||besides maybe swsh i guess since people started getting a lot more fatigued with pokemon by then and that game does have some issues||

||i just think it has more to do with the fact these games had potential to be explored more they wanted to take advantage of||

[arctic bobcat]

||i mean the main thing is i'm not aware of DPPt having that much scrapped content that wasn't scrapped for a reason rather than just not having enough time and space to implement it||

||there was the azure flute but that's kinda the only thing||

||otherwise i feel like the main reason they made it its own game was because the concept of a pokemon game that tells a story set in the past was a compelling hook||

[sharp lake]

(PLZA unreleased new mega) ||It’s funny the one time I want a second mega for a mon to keep the type, Garchomp loses Ground and we miss out on a rare Ground special attacker…||

[tropic pollen]

||They did it once with Landorus-I and wisely realized "yeah we're never doing that shit again"||

[sharp lake]

||That’s true, tho we have a lot of special dragon types so Garchomp Z just doesn’t have much that’s too interesting imo. It would be good just because it’s stupid fast still but yeah.||

[rough kelp]

||jedi has forgotten about sandy shocks pensive||

[wanton trail]

||This was before they gave it sandsear storm btw||

||could you imagine mega garchomp Z with sandsear storm? I shudder in fear.||

[torn ore]

||Watch it get an ability that keeps the Ground STAB||

[primal wind]

||Like a version of Steelworker?||

It's a little sad to see

||I wonder if it was a budgetary or a system-specs reason. I doubt it was an easy choice to make||

[surreal vault]

||Probably specs? Do we know if ZA was originally gonna be SW2 exclusive?||

[tropic pollen]

||considering we know it was pushed back from a 2024 release, definitely not||

[sharp lake]

||Probably to help the game run on Switch 1 better, might’ve stayed if PLZA was a Switch 2 only game but who knows with GF lol.||

[spare hare]

||it couldn't have stayed if it was s2 exclusive bc s2 released this year anyways||

||i'm just glad they did a s2 version, feels nice to get a 60 fps pokemon game on launch||

[ionic vortex]

||Why is the player Irida?||

||Would it not make more sense to use Akari or Rei, the already-existing player character models?||

||Then again it's not like the model matters that much, they were probably just having a little fun||

[tropic pollen]

||What do you think could be the reason they would use Irida's model? ||

[ionic vortex]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/370646953702326273/1446510936276992060/ezgif-73e683b1966f4c55.gif

...

Oh

Yeah that's actually pretty smart

Anyway what I came in here to ask was

Any new updates on unreleased Scarlet & Violet stuff since I was last here?

Supposedly there's still some content left, but I don't imagine the game has terribly long left in terms of active support

[white garden]

Wonder if they’ll drop shiny terapagos or smth when gen 10 drops

[tropic pollen]

the Socratic method never fails

[ionic vortex]

I mean we might just get it depending on if the method of getting past legendaries allows us to shiny-hunt

Oh

I thought you meant as an event specifically

[shell sand]

i have 0 context as to why hes just standing there

[ionic vortex]

Bug that causes him to be frozen mid-animation

[shell sand]

its succinct

[ionic vortex]

[GEN 10] ||Okay I just got spoiled on the fact that pikachu will be getting redesigned apparently (more specifically it's just the weird skinny one they use for promotional material like real-world events, just now as the actual standard design), and now that's got me wondering if any other pokémon will get a design overhaul...||

(Don't actually tell me that please, I'm being rhetorical)

[surreal vault]

[Non-Spoiler speculative] ||They've already remodeled some pokemon in Gen 9 so they were probably testing the waters for further modifications||

[ionic vortex]

||That's a good point actually||

Also REALLY like the tag

Thank you for that

[ionic vortex]

||Wait so what's gonna happen to raychu?||

||Because it's obviously based on pikachu's current body-shape||

[ionic vortex]

[Z-A UNRELEASED CONTENT] ||Based on mega garchomp Z, do you think it's possible even more megas may be added in the future through updates?||

[rose junco]

||probably not, there'd probably already be stuff in the files for them if it was the case||

||it's not like they did a good job of hiding events already||

[tropic pollen]

ZA unreleased content ||Garchomp Z will probably just be a ranked reward||

[spare hare]

||there's text for it being a random mega you have to fight like golisopod and scovillain||

[tropic pollen]

||oh huh, interesting. Im still gonna guess it'll be saved for Pokemon day||

[grizzled turret]

||I could see it being a smaller-scale, pecharunt-esque surprise ||

[spare hare]

potential upcoming game, related to something seen from teraleak

|| https://www.pokemon.com/windwave ||

[surreal vault]

[cunning tartan]

[spare hare]

may be a false alarm ||not sure what the reason for this would be tho||

[surreal vault]

I literally tested this and it put me to a 404 page

Oh

Nvm

[spice timber]

i think this was found to be a false alarm?

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/551972811854577665/1456877920265044028/Screenshot_20260102_230906_Firefox.jpg

i think it's because the link once led to a sweepstakes thing on the website

[ionic vortex]

Spamton Sweepstakes

[tepid eagle]

DAMN YOU SWITCH 1

[ionic vortex]

Was scrolling back through

Do we ever actually see her wearing that tank top?

[shell sand]

she just has it underneath

[proven bay]

||https://www.pokemon.com/windows11ismicroslop ||

||Something like this, it works as the post said||

[ionic vortex]

||What if they mainly redesign pokémon from earlier generations to fit more in line with modern design philosophies?||

[arctic bobcat]

||they already did that in Gen 3 with the new sugimori art||

[ionic vortex]

||That was over two decades ago and was moreso because it would be pretty weird if the first 251 pokémon only had lower-quality scans while all future ones had higher-quality digital art||

||That was definitely much more of an inevitability/necessity rather than just because they wanted to||

[sharp lake]

(PLZA currently unreleased mega) ||Well I’m ready for Chomp Z now lol.||

[rough kelp]

seeing ||all special moves|| on ||garchomp|| is so weird, gg

[sharp lake]

||Ikr, it's really weird lmao. Tho we kind of have Mega Dragonite too if granted not as extreme of a shift.||

pokemon go ^

[spare hare]

||finally?||

[harsh lion]

yup its been teased for like 3 years lol

[harsh lion]

Z-A ||you know i wasn't expecting them to release all the official art for the new megas before releasing all the new megas||

||but like hopefully once that one releases (ig at this point it'll be on pokémon day. i expected a pecharunt deal.) it'll get its official art released immediately too||

[spare hare]

||weak ass garchomp z release for pokemon day|| 😭

||it's just a random hyperspace fight too 😭 ||

[harsh lion]

||making daybreak look like a $30 dlc bro||

||dude its gonna be even worse than the shit they did to PLA on pokemon day 2022||

||"Here's a new update to Pokémon Legends Z-A! You can catch Mega Garchomp Z! Ok now let's move on to Gen 10"||

[spare hare]

||"now wait 3 more months for z-a home compat and gen 10 news" ||

🔥

[harsh lion]

||remember when they showed hisuian avalugg and hisuian goodra in za and that was supposed to be like, pokemon home compatibility stuff||

||#ItsOver||

[torn ore]

||Just get it over with lmao. Release Mega Garchomp Z, release the Home update so I can transfer Shiny Rayquaza and Zeraora, and let me cherish the final moments of mega evolution before Gen 10 arrives||

[spare hare]

(technically unrevealed since no home yet lol) ||tbh the weirder part of mega magearna is that they didn't commit with the shiny for the base form||

||then again i guess they also kind of do this with mega skarmory, where the shiny is mostly just the base shiny again for whatever reason||

||even tho base form has a radically different color change||

[harsh lion]

well i guess the conversation we're having in the za thread is already that my bad

||also whats the shiny look like hold on i realise ive not seen the new megas shinies,||

ok i saw it, wtf

||see the shinies look much better to me bc there's two of them 💔 ||

[tropic pollen]

||what you don’t know is that Pokémon Day will announce 7 new megas to put the total number at 100||

[harsh lion]

||that's true they're announcing the musou from my dream and it will reveal mega tyrantrum mega Aurorus mega Yanmega and 4 more megas||

[spare hare]

||mega galarian slowking, mega hydrapple, mega mimikyu, mega charizard z||

[tropic pollen]

||Clawitzer :[ ||

[spare hare]

||ok we can get rid of mega galarian slowking||

[spice timber]

||mega chomp z on its way to beat out zarude for being the least interesting postrelease addition to a pokemon game||

||crowd goes mild type reveal||

[sharp lake]

(PLZA unreleased mega) ||How do you guys feel about Garchomp Z’s design?||

[spice timber]

||i think it changes too little from og garchomp, it kind of has the opposite problem that normal mega chomp has where it's basically the same pokemon without much different about it||

[sharp lake]

||What confuses me is they made a deal about Z megas but we only have 2 to use while they keep one and one only hostage for some reason.||

||Even worse, Lucario Z takes awhile to get so basically just Absol carrying it alone whether it likes it or not. Also I do agree. I don’t hate it but it’s too safe. On top of having a less interesting typing.||

[rough kelp]

i think the most logical possibility for this is ||someone in the anime gonna have it and this event is to promote that||

[spare hare]

||volo is arriving in the anime ||

[rough kelp]

kinda like ||dusk lycanroc||

[torn ore]

Teraleaks, Future game ||Anyone saw that new Pikachu model leak right? Where he resembles more like the Dream World art? God I hope the colors aren't final because them going back to washed out colors especially after Z-A and Pokopia really sucks||

[tepid eagle]

Yeah

||and I love the washed out look of the 3ds games but I don’t want gen 10 to look like that||

[shell sand]

i dont think the ||colors are final|| but we'll see

[sacred minnow]

||Idk if this is controversial or not but I don’t like the new model||

[shell sand]

||it is quite controversial and I think the general fandom will be like Why but i personally dont really mind or care||

[torn ore]

||I hate how desaturated it is. Are we really going back to 3DS washed out colors after Z-A finally bringing vibrancy back||

[tropic pollen]

i havent really seen it

[spice remnant]

Same, never seen it lol

[torn ore]

Here you go (Teraleak, future game spoilers) ||Gaia Pikachu Model. Looks more like the Dream World/Corporate art||

[sharp lake]

||Here’s hoping gen 10 doesn’t regress from PLZA’s color vibrance lol.||

[spice remnant]

||i so pale||

[tropic pollen]

||Why is he so fucking round||

[sharp lake]

||Not a fan of the tail thickness too.||

[sacred minnow]

||he’s super smooth but in the bad way idk how to explain it||

[spice timber]

||it's like a pikachu skinwalker||

||i think the shading is just kind of abysmal on the model, but hopefully it doesn't look as much Like That in the final game||

[shell sand]

||idk why the shading/colors are being pointed out so much||

||does the older model look like what it'd look like in a normal render||

[spice timber]

||the sv model is the one that looks closest to what the new model looks like here||

[shell sand]

||i mean specifically in the comparison image of the old and new model next to each other||

||they both look like theyre not actual finalized shading rendering||

[spare hare]

||people just gotta wait for actual official info ||

[spare hare]

||https://xcancel.com/i/status/2016888500428128335 ||

||apparently pokemon masters left the time and date of the presents in the game lol, it's <t:1772200800:f> ||

||which is just the standard time||

||as this post points out, the characters on the banner are chase and elaine (the lgpe protags) ||

||not sure if that means anything though tbh||

[runic prawn]

[harsh lion]

||new let's go and gen 10 for this year, pokemon is cooked||

[tepid eagle]

||I would pop off tbbh||

[spare hare]

just remembered (unreleased content) ||the sinnoh poll is gonna be incomplete bc they still haven't released garchomp z|| :ICANT:

[harsh lion]

||wait until pokemon day for that one lul||

[tropic pollen]

||yea do one per week||

||which gen 3 mega introduced in ZA is your favorite?||

[harsh lion]

||Chimecho||

[spare hare]

||gen 3 may have only gotten two but the two it got are really good||

[rough kelp]

||king suspiciously skipping to gen 5 poll||

[sharp lake]

||Funnily I don’t think Chomp-Z will fair that well in a poll lol.||

[tropic pollen]

||When people you know have seen the leaks are confidently talking about gen 10 being a switch 2 game and not even debating the possibility of it being cross-platform || gen 10

[harsh lion]

||i said if, idk the leaks bro😭||

[tropic pollen]

||why'd you think i was talking about you then ||

[harsh lion]

||NO ONE ELSES TALKING ABOUT IT!!||

[tepid eagle]

||oh damn that could happen||

[arctic bobcat]

||so you're saying there's still a chance for Pokemon Stars...||

[marble sand]

||I do think it's a reasonable guess just because they wanna definitely start pumping out more switch 2 sales||

[spice timber]

are y'all okay with some gen 10 leaks here?

some new info dropped that might be interesting, but it's a touchy topic

regarding ||the region's layout, potential gym leader typings and a character design||

[runic prawn]

where is this coming from? /genq

[spice timber]

i thiiiink it's teraleak stuff

those twitter leakers have been holding onto and dripfeeding gen 10 info, i believe

i'm gonna go paraphrase the stuff and put it in a txt file to not clog this chat (it's a big ol itemized list) if it's okay to post

[wanton trail]

oh okay

on the convo in mega dimension thread about mega charizard z ||it'd be really funny if mega charizard z happened but it lost its Fire attributes and became a Dragon/Flying. Because they're already doing that with a Z mega.||

[spare hare]

||i was actually thinking it would be funny if it lost fire||

||but i didn't bring it up exactly bc of garchomp z lmao 😭 ||

[spice remnant]

||They should make it lose both fire and flying and make it pure steel||

Rumor: Khu is teasing that Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen will be re-released soon for Nintendo Switch.

Okay man

[spice remnant]

Why these of all the ones

[spare hare]

You can tell khu is washed bc he doesnt bother posting in riddles anymore lol

[runic prawn]

||wonder if they wanted to port red and blue, but figured it was easier to port FRLG lol||

[tropic pollen]

||bro dropped the moniker||

[tropic pollen]

||latest version of Kanto that’s not already on the switch ig||

[runic prawn]

||my question is, how much, because I could actually buy these. I never played any pokémon game before gen 4||

[spare hare]

||I know some other people were hinting this beforehand too, ill gladly take an frlg release but man I wish we could just get all of them at least promised||

[tropic pollen]

||supposedly 30||

[spare hare]

||I've been seeing this but the source I've seen on this so far doesnt indicate it's talking about frlg at all to me||

||like it has very conspicuous capital letters that spell out "TCG" and the post it's replying to is not one they made about frlg ||

||unless there's someone else saying it's 30?||

[runic prawn]

||my gut feeling is 40 but my hope is like 20 lol||

||30 feels fine too but idk. galaxy was 40 right||

[spare hare]

||40 individually, 70 for bundle||

[wanton trail]

||respectfully, I'd rather not pay for frlg|| 😭

[hidden hedge]

||I wouldn't buy them for more than $20 tbh.||

[harsh lion]

LOL

||we lost so hard we are Not getting Ruby and Sapphire on the Switch until they make Legends Hoenn||

[silver shore]

||I don't understand why they'd port FRLG over RSE considering how you can already play kanto on the switch 2 but alright||

[spare hare]

Related to a future game ||the Kanto pandering is part of it, but also since pokopia is apparently going to take place in a ruined Kanto, they probably also want to capitalize on that with a new release||

[silver shore]

||I mean I guess that's fair, but like they ported both gens 1 and 2 to the 3ds, so why not RSE alongside FRLG?||

[spare hare]

||they didn't actually bring over gen 1 and 2 at once||

||they announced gen 1 for 2016, then released gs in 2017 and crystal in 2018||

||if they're finally bothering to add frlg after all this time it's more than possible we get rse later too, although probably not this year||

[silver shore]

||oh yeah forgot about that||

[tropic pollen]

||WE SHINY HUNTING EMERALD MEW IN 2029 🗣️ ||

[harsh lion]

||it's really funny too bc pokemon go's next season got datamined and it's called "memories in motion" and is apparently Kanto focused||

||Every Season Is Kanto-Focused||

[harsh lion]

||this makes sense but also its funny to think that Pokopia will be the first Kanto game to allow Crobat||

||unless the zubat lines not even in it ||

[spare hare]

||can we get navel rock and birth island.........||

[spare hare]

||all roads lead to kanto||

[tropic pollen]

||shut the fuck uppppppp||

||ok there’s a way to fix this.
March: Kanto
April: Johto
May: Hoenn (wow!)
June (Sinnoh)
July (Unova)
August (Kalos)
September (Alola)
October (Galar)
November (Paldea)
December (Gen 10)||

[harsh lion]

||pokemon go seasons are 3 months||

[tropic pollen]

||okay then they skip some its ok||

[hot zenith]

||Expectations vs. Reality (8 straight months of Kanto and THEN gen 10)||

[rapid stream]

||hopefully it's less than 30 but i'm fully expecting 70 tbh||

[silver shore]

||the games should be $15 max||

[velvet bobcat]

||im sure the Pokémon company would not be stupid enough to put it at full price||

||it will always be inevitably overpriced unless they put it at like 10 dollars but still I don't think it will be THAT bad as anywhere above 30 if it's literally a re-release of a GBA game, especially when nso is a thing||

[spice remnant]

||Guys they're Game Boy Advance games in what reality are they charging more than like $15 for one||

||Y'all just saying shit lmao 30||

[velvet bobcat]

||it would be hilariously depressing if they did||

||then again it IS a Pokémon product so I can't exactly blame the people for expecting it to cost three thousand dollars||

[spice remnant]

||They should make it $151 it'll be very cool reference ! ! ! ! ! ||

[velvet bobcat]

||$15.1||

||actually it's exactly $15 but with a one cent mew dlc||

||ACTUALLY how do y'all think they'll do with the event stuff. will it be like virtual console's celebi where it's just there or do you think they may get a little quirky with the tickets||

[spare hare]

||im hoping they just make them available ingame, bc frankly it's not like ho-oh and Lugia have that much value anyways lol||

||and deoxys would be nice to include so it can be available ingame on switch, instead of being stuck on 3ds with oras||

[spice remnant]

||I need the events available in-game b/c Ho-Oh and Lugia appearing at the top and bottom of a tower thing is peak
Lowkey peaker than having their own locations in Gen II||

||Like ORAS has a bit of that with them appearing at the highest and lowest points of the sunken ship but like||

[spare hare]

||based oras||

[arctic bobcat]

||tbh $25 for each is disturbingly plausible if they decide to make the bundle of both versions cost $40||

||I do assume if they are just eshop exclusive then they'll lean cheaper but if they ever release it as a physical bundle I'm expecting them to be pretty overpriced individually||

[arctic bobcat]

Tbh I'm guessing ||they would release emerald after RS initially anyway
so they probably want to time things so that you can transfer the early gens first and then emerald last||

[spice remnant]

||What makes it plausible past "idk I feel like it"||

||Like $15 for one is already an incredibly high ball for the sake of argument realistically I expect one to be like $10||

[silver shore]

||I just remembered weren't the gen 1 and 2 ports like $5 a pop||

[spice remnant]

||Pretty sure they were $10 idr||

[spare hare]

||the gen 1 and 2 vc ports were $10 each||

[spice remnant]

||It's so joever we are getting $20 each FRLG||

[silver shore]

||wait fr???||

[spice remnant]

||It's now $25 as a reference to pikachu||

[slow garnet]

||It’s $30 to celebrate 30 years of Pokemon||

[arctic bobcat]

||in that they want to make an expensive bundle look more like a "deal" by comically overpricing the individual games||

[spice remnant]

||So "I feel like it will happen"||

[arctic bobcat]

||I can't see them saying "you can buy these old out of print Pokemon games and transfer Pokemon to this also overpriced subscription service for less than $30"||

[spice remnant]

||My expectation is like $10 if they were nice, $15 if they were normal, $20 if they were The Pokemon Company
I personally doubt they'll have a discounted bundle||

||Buying both FR and LG for $40 to get a 20 Poke Ball Mystery Gift ||

[harsh lion]

||I can see $20 for each, $40 for both in a bundle yeah||

[spare hare]

||yeah tpc have never done a discounted bundle for their dual version games ever, at least during switch era||

||all of their double packs are just both games bundled for the price they would be together (technically 1 cent more bc they round up to 99 cents )||

||the only extra "value" they add is doing something trivial like giving you a code for 100 poke balls or something lol||

||the core series games have also never been discounted on eshop ||

||ever||

||the only thing that even remotely counts is vouchers but that applied to basically every full price nintendo game||

(Completely unrelated) @harsh lion oh god I got jumpscared for a second by the ||garchomp in the ranked season 7 image LMAO||

[harsh lion]

||LMAO||

||imagine||

||wtf are they gonna do with it still, is it just going to be a ranked battle reward announced on pokemon day?||

||they're pulling a daybreak with a really bad mega huh||

||"heres garchomp Z! you can get garchomp Z in ranked! also heres gen 10!"||

[spare hare]

||it's weird bc there's text for it being a hyperspace encounter but if that didn't exist I would agree it would be a perfect ranked season 8 candidate||

||ranked season 8 "you can use 3 restricteds "||

[harsh lion]

||Game Freak drops worst Mystery Gift of all time, asked to remake Diamond and Pearl||

[neat needle]

||”sorry guys, we went one event without focusing on gen 1. We HAVE to go back with this pikachu wearing a new hat”||

[sharp lake]

||I really don’t get why they decided to gate off Garchomp Z in the first place. They advertised Z megas a decent bit before the DLC came out and we only get 1 we can actually use early enough. Second is basically postgame and third is not available yet. I can understand wanting only a small amount of them, but let us use what there is lmao.||

[spice timber]

||they better not release frlg without rse||

||frlg have massive content gates locked behind owning rse, that's why the sevii islands exist||

||it'd actually be so dense to pull a move like that, considering frlg do not stand up on their own merits||

[sharp lake]

||FRLG are fine games but kind of boring imo, Hoenn games were just more fun to me.||

[spare hare]

What on earth are you talking about

Have you played these games

[spice timber]

i'm thinking mostly ||stuff like the sevii islands sidequest (the entire point of the quest is to unlock trade between regions) and also the gen 3 dex stuff that requires trading||

though ||it'd be mitigated pretty well if xd and colo are compatible with these ports||

[spare hare]

||how is that a "content gate" at all||

||you're not prevented from doing any of the sevii island stuff without rse||

||in fact ruby and sapphire are the ones that require trading from non rs games to unlock nat dex||

[spice timber]

||thinking back on it, it's not as severe as i was thinking||

[spare hare]

||Yes it's not severe bc it literally doesnt exist lol||

[rose junco]

||most I'd call 'content gating' is just not being able to have every Pokemon||

[spice timber]

||it just feels like, if they're gonna halfass it and only give us frlg, it's valid to complain about things like that that could just be solved by having the other half of the gen there||

[rose junco]

||which is gonna go for most Pokemon games released on their own lol||

[spice timber]

to be fair, ||frlg has arbitrary code execution that can enable that, though idk if it works without emerald||

[spare hare]

||yeah but thats not specific to frlg anyways so like||

Yeah exactly

[spice timber]

very technically ||it means you don't get to have all 4 deoxys forms||

i'm sure that ||if it's only frlg, a consistent ace setup only within those games is gonna be discovered pretty quickly||

[tepid eagle]

||I could see them doing more rereleases if frlg does well||

[arctic bobcat]

||when the intentionally designed gimmick is retained?||

[spare hare]

actually funny thing i just thought of related to the recent leak

||do you think we'd get a frlg home dex lol||

[tropic pollen]

||the shiny mew….||

[harsh lion]

||"shiny mew" 🤣 🫵 ||

[tropic pollen]

[runic prawn]

FINALLY this season is starting

[spare hare]

||i don't think that specific person is very reliable but also this specific thing wouldn't surprise me if it does end up being true||

[runic prawn]

||I think it makes sense yeah given how nintendo lately had started to translate some RPGs too in portuguese and pokémon is HUGE here I'm not even kidding||

[spare hare]

||we had that latin american spanish announcement for pokemon day last year so hopefully we could get a pt br one this year|| 🤞

[runic prawn]

||yes that is my hope please...||

[spare hare]

z-a related ||do you think there'll be anything beyond the garchomp z that they'll add in another update||

||for pokemon day||

||it's really funny to me to just drop that for pokemon day without anything more but like i don't really see anything substantial coming anyways with news on pokopia + gen 10 + champions + colo/xd on nso. and especially if we get frlg or whatever classic games||

[silver shore]

Yeah I doubt it

[charred portal]

very unreliable person

[surreal vault]

At least its not AI....

[spare hare]

related to recent rumor about upcoming games ||so if frlg is real, it's probably fairly straightforward for them to incorporate ingame events like with gs ball and celebi in vc crystal (navel rock and birth island)||

||do you think we could get any of the e-reader content?||

||also man the serebii gen 3 pages are rough||

||this is another thing that would be neat to change ||

||the altering cave spawns||

[tropic pollen]

||do you think they’d fix the roaming beasts||

[tropic pollen]

||honestly most pages before gen 5 can be rough, not all gen 4 pages are great either||

[hidden hedge]

||Fire Red and Leaf Green are available for preorder on the eShop lol.||

[tepid eagle]

I like the grass one a lot

[runic prawn]

not enough fake leaks smh

I guess because we got actual leaks before already lol

[rose junco]

we should make our own fake leaks clearly

[tepid eagle]

The next Pokémon game release will have a dragon a dinosaur and a turtle with guns for final starter evos

[hidden hedge]

Someone should use Blender, make fake Kirby renders and post them as a fake leak (maybe on April Fools).

[tropic pollen]

||It’s really awkward skirting around Mega Garchomp Z’s existence when it’s even on fucking bulbapedia of all places. Why is it there, I don’t think the Mega Latis were there when they were datamined in X and Y||

[spice timber]

i think it's like

not really worth treating as this big major spoiler, i guess?

if it's allowed on serebii, who receives direct sponsorship from pokemon, i imagine it's just this open secret

[spare hare]

||i don't remember how the mega latis were treated since that was a while ago, but the community has kind of always treated stuff leftover in the code like this||

[spice timber]

whups

||yeah, we used to have way bigger spoilers through datamines||

||if they really want to keep something secret nowadays, they'll just keep it out of the launch day patch||

[spare hare]

||like we always knew about mythicals well before they were supposed to exist||

i kind of get why they don't bother with stuff like this bc ||having a whole new update for one new mega is kind of pointless||

||makes modding more annoying tho||

[spice timber]

||zarude, wake/leaves and pecharunt were all left out of game code until they were officially revealed and released||

||i imagine chomp z is just not a big priority for them, it's probably only not basegame because they had to have something for a pokemon day reveal||

[spare hare]

||this is not true for pecharunt, mochi mayhem epilogue was already in the code with indigo disk||

[rose junco]

||it was||

[spice timber]

OH right

forgor

[spare hare]

||the only reason these were really held back is bc they were tied to other updates||

[rose junco]

||wake/leaves was also partially in and further leaked through other means||

[spare hare]

||yeah we did know they existed, we just didn't have the models||

[rose junco]

||iirc Pecharunt also had some visual stuff in in Teal Mask (though it was more intentional hints)||

[tropic pollen]

||You could sorta see it in a cutscene||

[spare hare]

||yeah that was just it being actually teased in the cutscenes, it was just well hidden. also it being there in the shop lol||

[tropic pollen]

||and that graphic was datamined later||

[spare hare]

||datamines let us see the full thing tho||

[spice timber]

||it was almost indistinguishable in that cutscene without datamines, but yeah||

[tropic pollen]

been oddly quiet

considering

[wanton trail]

I was just gonna say yeah

Hold on imma see if I can find a yt video

Okay yeah there’s nothing

I did see a very interesting point

Teraleak stuff and future games ||What are they gonna reveal that we don’t already know about? We know we’re getting champions stuff. We know we’re getting pokopia stuff, hell we even know about gen 10 and that one galar game. What could they possibly reveal that we don’t know about?||

||it could just be like, the minor details of gen 10. Or if the teraleak was lying and the games aren’t wind and waves||

[spare hare]

||probably little to nothing in terms of games||

||im more looking forward to learning more concrete details about this stuff as opposed to being surprised by new games||

[wanton trail]

||pokemon day cannot come soon enough||

[arctic bobcat]

||id probably expect them to focus solely on already announced games this year
at best they announce stuff about champions but otherwise new mainline stuff is definitely for next year considering how recent Z-A is||

[tropic pollen]

||you think they’d save the 10th generation for the year after a big anniversary?||

[arctic bobcat]

||honestly yea because there's no way they'd release it in time anyway||

||they always release their big stuff around September to November, and they announce it a year ahead of time, so it just skips out this year||

[tropic pollen]

||they’ve been announcing games in February and releasing them in October-November since 2013||

||Legends games are the only two exceptions||

[arctic bobcat]

||its supposed to be an MMORPG isn't it||

[tropic pollen]

||¯_(ツ)_/¯||

||idk jack about gen 10||

[spare hare]

||you are going to be dead wrong lol||

[arctic bobcat]

||probably||

[spare hare]

||so many people were talking about how gen 9 couldn't possibly release in 2022 either||

[spare hare]

||also no||

(future game, teraleak) ||the game that people were saying would be an mmo was project seed- the remake that was supposed to cover multiple regions (all the japan ones from gen 1-4)||

[arctic bobcat]

||hmm I thought that was the one with the remade kanto region||

[spare hare]

||tbh i'm not even sure if that was actually meant to be an mmo or if it was faulty translation||

||but that's the one people are referring to when they talk about the mmo||

[sharp lake]

||Gen 10 is really one really big massive mass outbreak.||

[velvet bobcat]

||in a way they werent wrong ||

[arctic bobcat]

||ok so if it's not the mmo then probably they might announce something||

[arctic bobcat]

||yeah I very clearly remember the game releasing on June 5 2025 ||

[velvet bobcat]

||gen 10 is inevitable||

[arctic bobcat]

||after looking up some messages from months ago
oh right gen 10 was the southeast asia based region||

||I have no clue how long it takes to develop these games but I suppose since there was nothing else besides the MMO in the leaks it could be announced assuming there isn't a curveball with a non-game freak mainline title instead||

||revenge of ILCA with unnecessarily faithful Gold and Silver remakes that ignore the improvements from a later release||

[tropic pollen]

||wait I’ve never heard of this lmao. is that real. was that cancelled||

[spare hare]

||too early to tell how it's gonna end up||

||yes it's real in the sense that it was actually in the teraleak||

||but too early to tell whether they will actually go through with it having all the gen 1-4 regions||

[tropic pollen]

||they’re calling it the worst level curve of all time||

[spare hare]

||i'm assuuuuming it won't be an actual recreation of everything in those regions or at least it definitely won't be set up the same as the games they come from since indeed there's an inherent leveling issue there||

||but who knows||

(future project, teraleak) ||here's the original image + a shitty machine translation||

||you have to keep in mind that these are also concept docs from years ago so the actual project if it still exists may have changed a lot by this point too||

[tropic pollen]

||if they’ve even moved forward with it||

||fascinating.||

[spare hare]

champions ||https://xcancel.com/kaphotics/status/2026846030336041377 ||

||datamine incoming lfg||

||oh my god z-a mega abilities soon...............||

The only other information I will put out is that the emulator explicitly recognizes ROMs of Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald alongside FireRed and LeafGreen.
I found this alongside the initialization code that is related to enabling emulator hacks for specific games.

Bluesky · Feb 27, 2026, 4:50 PM

[spare hare]

||honestly might happen this year||

||at least ruby and sapphire||

||i think it makes sense to release them sooner rather than later since nat dex in frlg is legit impossible without rse||

[spice timber]

||it's good that it looks like it's happening, i wonder if they'll fix emerald's rng bug||

[tropic pollen]

||isnt it still impossible without Colosseum and XD||

[spare hare]

no

[tropic pollen]

a

[spare hare]

||technically ho oh and lugia aren't even necessary for nat dex completion (the diploma at least) in gen 3||

||and those + the bonus disc mythicals are the only pokemon exclusive to colo/xd afaik||

||ofc stuff like raikou/entei/suicune is more annoying with only the gba games bc you have to do the roaming shit in frlg||

||but it's all possible||

||but also we know ho-oh and lugia are in now so||

[tropic pollen]

||plus you only get one per file||

[spare hare]

yay

[tropic pollen]

||and because of home being one-way, you also need at least two switches if you don't know anyone else with the games||

||super rad tho||

[spare hare]

yeeep lol

[spice timber]

oh yeah

[rose junco]

||it will be REALLY funny if they can't connect to each other||

[spare hare]

||it at least isn't necessary for shiny charm or anything. it's just for the diploma||

[spice timber]

i wonder if they patched ||the roar bug with entei and raikou||

[tropic pollen]

||like im not complaining at all dw lmao but getting all 386 wont be easy||

[spare hare]

||probs not||

||it's just the rom||

||mail glitch is in||

||so the rest of the ace shit is a matter of time||

||which also means roar is probably not fixed lol||

[arctic bobcat]

||Ok I was technically right ||

||it does technically skip out on this year because it doesn't release in time||

[spice timber]

||technically it's possible to patch roar glitch yourself with ace||

[spare hare]

||i mean yeah it's not an issue then but it still means base roar wouldn't be changed||

[spare hare]

||we were both half right and wrong lol||

[arctic bobcat]

||which considering everything on here probably means nearly everything on here got delayed||

[spare hare]

||oh for sure||

[spice timber]

this is honestly a really good sign

||winds/waves looks graphically competent right now and it's probably at least more than a year from launch||

[velvet bobcat]

||that is excellent||

||i am so glad its 2027||

[spare hare]

surprisingly based

[velvet bobcat]

||let them have a tears of the kingdom moment where they spend a year making sure everything works before release||

[spice timber]

only downside is ||we're going radio silent on it until august 2027 or something||

[sharp lake]

||More time in the Rotom-Heat||

[spare hare]

||we at least got gameplay + starters for this reveal unlike z-a||

[velvet bobcat]

||i dont know i am ready to go "we're so back" only for it to be " its so over" at release as seen in every other previous pokemon game in the last 8 years but it is tempting||

[spare hare]

||where it was literally nothing that actually mattered besides the lumiose city reveal||

[arctic bobcat]

||tbh if it's releasing early on in the year like LA did then it doesn't make a huge difference because invariably they announce something else takes the nov 2027 slot in 2027||

[sharp lake]

||"You can now play as Lumiose City!"||

Also, a huge warning regarding datamining: What we see is a snapshot of current code at the moment it was built.
It's not an oracle. Maybe it means RSE is next, maybe it's never actually happening. It just means they had intentions at one point and nothing else.

• New gimmick Rebirth: Faint → revive w/ omni-boost (item-held). No switch-out. Reborn forms!
• Rivals: Jasper + skipped gender

Potentially predictive 4chan leaks are BACK

Is it real? Did they just know some info and made up the rest? Did they just get lucky? Who knows!!!

[spice timber]

that depends on when this was made

[wanton trail]

4chan leak ||i dont trust that, the rebirth mechanic sounds too broken for pokemon to give it the greenlight||

[tropic pollen]

||Pokemon Reborn pog||

[surreal vault]

||I think its plausible...||

[velvet bobcat]

||I think it's worth noting that we have champions now so they can just. not think about competitive aspects when it comes to the mainline games||

||like they can just do whatever||

[harsh lion]

been saying this

shit better be true

[velvet bobcat]

||I hope it's real cuz its much more interesting than the teraleak god gimmick where it's just megas but again||

[harsh lion]

||when you get down to it, SV is just a game made for competitive with a very short singleplayer campaign attached to it. that's why it looks and runs poorly and it still didn't really matter||

[velvet bobcat]

||Pokémon champions is low-key something this franchise been needing in every game after sword shield||

[formal nimbus]

Just to say, as a response to my datamine:
|| https://xbsky.app/profile/luigiblood.bsky.social/post/3mfudhsiq722t ||

||sword shield had a big focus on battles and competition so it thematically works but in any game onwards it's just kinda not really mixing at all||

Centro leaks gotta stop treating themselves as a general Pokemon info account. Know ur place bro

[arctic bobcat]

very irrelevant thing but the funny thing about gen 10 being a 2027 release is that this is the gen that is getting all the attention in the next smash

so time to predict which pokemon is going to be the greninja/incineroar of that game

[hot zenith]

My guess is Pombon

Cause everyone loves it already lol

[tropic pollen]

Could always be Ceruledge

[shell sand]

what if they were goated and picked Toxtricity for no reason

[spice timber]

idk, it might be the bird if it evolves to be cool

pombon doesn't look like the type to end up on four legs

[velvet bobcat]

decidueye fans seeing a different grass bird starter making it into smash

I didn't get a ton of annoyance from being mentioned in places

I do have to give kudos to Kotaku though

they're the only place that bothered to contact me beforehand.

||CentroLeaks I get what you're saying but fucking whatever, I don't care if it's 30FPS. You're the one PUSHING the narrative that 30FPS bad and 60FPS good, and not every game has to be like that imo||

︀︀Teraleak mentioned a planned DLC (the project codename is “Megaoasis”), originally scheduled when the game itself was targeting late 2025, with the DLC expected around mid-2026. Since the game was delayed and only released now in early March, the timeline may have shifted, so it’s unclear when or if we’ll see it 🤞🏼

||https://www.reddit.com/r/stunfisk/comments/1s2nmhs/chinese_spoilers_for_many_of_the_remaining_mega/ ||

(pasted directly from the reddit post)

||Magearna - Soul Heart

Bax - Thermal Exchange

Darkrai - Bad Dreams

Zeraora - Speed Boost

Clefable - Misty Surge

Raichu X - Electric Surge

Drampa - Drizzle

Frosslass - Snow Cloak

Crabominable and Staraptor - Same ability, unknown if Contrary or Defiant

Golisopod - Tough Claws

Excadrill, Scovillain - New abilities with unknown effects, tl-ed something to the effect of Pierce Drill and Burn Circulation respectively

Pyroar - Fire type dragon's maw named Thermo Boost or something along those line, autotl seems iffy on this one

Glimmora - Levitate||

||most of them are fine but just boring, i agree mega clefable is just genuinely odd if true||

[quartz mountain]

So considering the current unhackable state of the switch 2, are any hopes for leaks regarding Winds and Waves just teraleak content to keep getting found/talked about?

||no because invariably there's going to be a new person with insider info speaking in riddles||

||I mean, yea theres always some "insider" real or not yappin that we take with the entire salt shaker 😅 ||

riddle me this, pokemon fan

[harsh lion]

so.

do you think.

||the reason why not every mega is listed||

||is because all the missing ones wont be in the game at launch||

[spare hare]

||i don't think so bc it's also missing floette which should theoretically be available too||

||but idk why it doesnt have all of them||

[tropic pollen]

||can you imagine if Mega Pyroar ends up being broken as shit under sun because of this fuckass ability||

maybe we are just looking at plain text. maybe it has a hidden effect like water bubbles :copium:

||on a MEGA evolution||

||also if these are the only two new abilities, what the hell will Malamar and Floette have||

||not to mention Zygarde||

[surreal vault]

If you laugh you go to Casseroya lake

[harsh lion]

||apparently theres 4 abilities not present in the datamine||

||could just be for 4 of the legends/mythicals that most likely wont be in champions at launch||

[tropic pollen]

||im not following, why wouldn't they be in home||

[harsh lion]

||no idea honestly but i imagine its because theyre just not in champions||

||i do also just think this is all april fools probably ||

[tropic pollen]

||they might as well have made the ability Mega Overload: This Pokemon Fucking Explodes Upon Mega Evolving 250 Fire Type Attack And You Faint||

||and that actually would've been better||

[harsh lion]

||or let it keep chlorophyll bro😭||

[slow orchid]

||Mega Scovillian's only purpose being to get hit and die is unbelievably funny||

[shell sand]

is it even ||bulky enough to use it||

[spare hare]

||no it's not really a good user of it. granted it would also be annoying as shit if it was super bulky||

||but yeah this thing is just being sent out to take hits it can't really take||

||and honestly it wouldn't be as bad if it wasn't a mega||

||it doesn't have good healing options either (at least in sv and z-a)||

[rough kelp]

again, 🤞 hopefully it's a ||water bubble situation, considering we only have the flavor text now||

||this is genuinely diabolical btw, they are still not addressing the "double water-type move's damage" elephant 2 gens later||

[spare hare]

on pokeaim's video about ||piercing drill and spicy spray|| LMAO

[harsh lion]

😭

[spice timber]

i think the thing is like, ||its bulk is so ass because of how punishing it actually is to get guaranteed burned, you HAVE to kill it in one shot to minimize the damage, and not doing so means you just crippled a physical attacker/set a special attacker on a death timer for no reason||

||252+ Atk Tyranitar-Mega Rock Slide vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Scovillain-Mega: 134-162 (77.9 - 94.1%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO
252+ Atk Choice Band Urshifu-Rapid-Strike Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Scovillain-Mega: 135-160 (78.4 - 93%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ Atk Choice Band Urshifu-Rapid-Strike Surging Strikes (3 hits) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Scovillain-Mega on a critical hit: 135-162 (78.4 - 94.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
196+ Atk Rillaboom High Horsepower vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Scovillain-Mega: 45-54 (26.1 - 31.3%) -- 23.9% chance to 4HKO after Grassy Terrain recovery
252 Atk Tough Claws Metagross-Mega Psychic Fangs vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Scovillain-Mega: 84-99 (48.8 - 57.5%) -- 93.4% chance to 2HKO
252+ Atk Calyrex-Ice Glacial Lance vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Scovillain-Mega: 81-96 (47 - 55.8%) -- 74.2% chance to 2HKO||

||all of these mons get completely destroyed by having to take a burn, and the only one that can semi-reliably kill the thing in one hit is ttar with stone edge, and like, you just burned your mega ttar for that||

||the ability also procs on fake out users and mega mence's hyper voice, and if scovillain gets taunted, 1. they just spent a turn not killing it and 2. scovillain can still be threatening with super fang and overheat||

||you're basically trading your mega slot for the opportunity to guarantee that the other person has a miserable time||

[harsh lion]

||ok but it has 65/85/85 bulk||

[spice timber]

||all that does is increase the psychological damage when the opponent fails to ohko it due to bulk investment||

||also when it dies it's basically a negative priority switch||

[rustic junco]

i mean

i'd assume that if you invest in bulk it can live a few hits

||138 attack/spatk is probably serviceable enough uninvested||

||also Scovillain has Rage Powder||

||me when i choose to ruin Urshifu's day specifically||

[harsh lion]

||its just not a very good use of your mega slot imo||

[spare hare]

||it's not||

||you're using a mega slot to get a guaranteed burn on one mon before scovillain dies anyways||

||it's at least an interesting idea and it's nice they tried to give scovillain something unique and interesting for it||

[rustic junco]

||rage powder maybe lets you get two burns with one (mega) stone maybe??||

[harsh lion]

||I think it might see a niche in vgc because its typing also lets it just nuke the grass types that are immune to rage powder (though it loses hard to every fire type pretty much, lol)||

||its just gonna be like, a really weird mega to pull off because its essentially a one-turn support mon||

[spare hare]

||it seems like something where there will be someone who finds success with it bc it's so gimmicky but ultimately most ppl with experience will know how to play around it||

[rustic junco]

Also another funny part of the gimmick

||Scovillain has Moody in base||

[rough kelp]

wait till they realize ||spotlight is back /j||

[spare hare]

||tbh this is a bigger meme than ppl think bc you have to run base scovillain with no leftovers if you want moody||

[slow orchid]

||Scovillian getting the defense drop from moody before mega evolving so it can die immediately and only burn one pokemon instead of two ❤️ ||

[rough kelp]

a more reliable version of this would be ||speed boost scolipede before mega-ing||

||🙏please be tinted lens 🙏 please be compound eyes 🙏||

[harsh lion]

||protect, rage powder, overheat, leaf storm||

||put spicy extract over any of the offensive moves||

[spice timber]

||it gets endure, which is just better protect for it||

[rough kelp]

||i just realized that last sentence for piercing drill. is it like that for unseen fist too or nah?||

[harsh lion]

nope

||unseen fist doesn't trigger burning bulwark's burn, spiky shield's contact damage, king's shield's attack drop, baneful bunker's poison...||

[spare hare]

just gonna post this in here for now since the game literally just released (list of all mons in champions rn)

[tropic pollen]

||only five is not that bad, yea its minus 10 when doubled but itll still be 160 lmao||

[harsh lion]

I saw this one yeah

Like literally the only one I saw

||HYPER DRILL GOAT||

||triple dive||

[tropic pollen]

||GEAR GRIND BUFF 🔥🔥🔥🔥 ||

||Revelation Dance is crazy btw||

||ANOTHER 28 BANS TO ORICORIO||

[rough kelp]

||buffed and it's still weaker than surging strikes on average 😭 25BP*1.5crit = 37.5||

this will be pivotal for ||tropius||

[spice remnant]

Bro what the FUCK is Triple Dive I keep hearing about Hyper Drill and assume it's from Z-A but I've never heard anyone say triple dive

[spare hare]

||Wugtrio sig move (lol)||

[rough kelp]

||90% acc, 30BP, hits 3 times (as long as first hit pass the accuracy check). it's basically temu surging strikes and is signature move of wugtrio||

[spice remnant]

||Was Hyper Drill also in SV or some shit is that why they're above blood moon in that list 😭 ||

||Fucking dudunsparce oml||

[north fjord]

||Champions buffed it to 35||

[harsh lion]

Wtf

I didn't realise there's also ||accuracy|| changes

[spare hare]

||how was clangorous soul 100 acc before||

[spice timber]

||gholdengo watching make it rain double miss||

[harsh lion]

||i think the make it rain accuracy drop is really dumb||

||100 to 95 isn't meaningless but it makes the game so much worse||

||adding variance to gholdengo of all pokémon... what a decision||

[rough kelp]

||klinklang|| for no reason: 💅

[spare hare]

also this has been stuck in my head all day

[rough kelp]

man oh man

the concept of ||oricorio in a limited dex format. with 100BP revelation dance... obviously the lack of tera gonna hurts it but it's still very strong||

[torn ore]

Anime current arc climax huge spoilers since this wasn't revealed yet ||Shiny Mega Zygarde incoming||

[white garden]

||Tbch the Mega Zygarde was kinda obvious but i still wonder whatever is gonna happen to Spinel with him being absorbed by the evil gens||

||Specifically in relation to legends Galar and the multiregion remake…||

[shell sand]

||I mean all of the games there are real yes but what time or whether they'll arrive or not is a different story because history hasnt happened yet||

||we have kyogre at home kyogre at home:||

[quaint rune]

||legends game for gen 4, 6, 8 just like how they've only remade the half count generation of whatever they're at now, so gen 4 had gen 2 remakes, gen 6 has gen 3 remakes, gen 8 had gen 4 remakes, and then, with gen 10 they'll have this "multi region remake" that's most definitely atleast gonna include unova for gen 5.. now the question would be if they're actually giving them until 2029 for legends galar and 2031 or 2032 until the multi region remake or otherwise they'll be shitty games again||
