The man on the bike's helmet SLIGHTLY looks like Pikipek, perhaps an evolved form? Also, the seagulls may just be Wingulls.

confirmed one:
Riddler posted a cloth on which skeleton is printed --- Team Skull
Riddler raised a question "What does Hala work as? Gym leader or Elite 4 or Professor or Champion or Passer-by or Other important roles?" --- We can't say being Kahuna confirmed it, but at least it can be the answer to the question.

new one:
Riddler raised a question again "How many professors are there in Alola? 1 or 2 or 3 or 4?"

Of course it means something. Besides Kukui, Oak is an easy guess, who appears almost everywhere.
Sycamore probably is there too, I guess, who will play a role to tell you lores of mega evolution in post game.

Riddler posted a pic of Anabel, who is the brain of Battle Tower in Emerald.

Maybe Battle Frontier will return. Maybe Anabel will return. Maybe a girl with violet hair will appear in storyline.
Any of these can be the answer.

Riddler wrote a cipher code about chronology: ! [Zelda25]，288

Looking at Bulbapedia, it appears that the first of her Pokemon is an Alakazam with Ice Punch, ThunderPunch, Fire Punch and Disable. That's a lot of punching moves and very few (read: none) Psychic moves for a Psychic Pokemon. Perhaps this is referring to the rumored Fighting Alolan Alakazam?

Other semi-interesting aspects about her teams are that she uses two of the three legendary dogs, a Snorlax and a Latios. So... pretty many legendaries, but then again I've never played though Battle Frontier myself so I don't know if using legendaries is a common thing there.
Also, the Snorlax doesn't have Giga Impact on either occasion, so this probably doesn't have much to do with Pulverizing Pancake.

You're on to something mate.
In the anime Anabel is shown to have psychic abilities and in the game she uses a physical Alakazam, said Pokémon is the only Mon that carries over to her anime team where one of its strongest moves is Focus Punch. So this really might just be Alolan Alakazam

Man, that's enough translation for one day. lol.

Aside of Totem Pokemon and Alolan Forms, something else is coming. And it is heavily advertised.
(My guess : Z forms from the 2ch leak?)

He then says"
Gen 6 : Meganium, Megayanma
Gen 7: Porygon Z

That clue seems easy I think. Gen 6 is Meganium and Yanmega hinting at Mega Evolution. Gen 7 is Porygon-Z. Given we already have Z-Moves I guess it means Z-Evolution or something that like, probably the Greninja (and Rockruff/starter?) stuff.

The man on the bike's helmet SLIGHTLY looks like Pikipek, perhaps an evolved form? Also, the seagulls may just be Wingulls.

I think the helmet is just stylised after Grubbin's head.

Would make sense, since exclusive Z-Crystals for just one Z-Move sounds like too much work.
If the Crystals lend those pokémon some kind of form, it would better explain why they have exclusive Z-Crystals.
Snorlium Z in Japanese was also just Kabigon Z (Snorlax Z) by the way.
So I agree with that potential interpretation of the leak.

 

[PurplePopplio]

Seems like a rugby monkey is a certainty. Hope it has an interesting typing and isn't just Fighting-type.

This is just him cataloging all the Kanto and Johto Pokemon we've seen in official media so far.

Yeah I saw the mention of Anabel it would be cool if the S.S. Anne can take you to the actual Battle Frontier it would definitely make up for ORAS since its earlier in the timeline and should already been built.

 

[Mana Opal]

Of note: The elemental punches were all considered Special attacks in the game she appeared in despite being, well, punches. Thus, her alakazam was actually pretty powerful at the time, though it wouldn't be anywhere near as effective now that they're Physical. In order make it good again, she'd have to either change it's moveset or get a physically aligned alakazam- thus hinting at Fighting!kazam.

Of course, we could all be focusing on the wrong details here and be well off the mark. It does seem a lot simpler than the rest of the riddles were so far, so I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case.

 

[ThreeT]

Hi I'm new. Just wanted to ask if there was a list of what everything the Riddler leak had to say?

 

[lavandula]

Hi I'm new. Just wanted to ask if there was a list of what everything the Riddler leak had to say?

The first post of this thread has them.

 

[Dizzard]

He also refers Mimikyu as Mimikyu family, instead of just Mimikyu, meaning that Mimikyu will either have pre evo or evo.
And Salandit family.
Drampa family.
Bruxish family.

How does he refer to Togedemaru? (Or Pykumuku or any other currently single Pokemon)

 

[Matleo]

fighting type Alakazam? maybe its not Anabel but her twin sister?
weird stuff, really weird stufff and where are the megas?

 

[Aromatic Mist]

I know that it's a pure water in both forms by the leaks, videos and official site.

we got a Alolan Marowak after 6 generations.

Marowak that had a skull on its head, that looked like a ghost and had in gen I spiritual relations to ghosts in the games.

Then why waste time and give that that School forms a secondary before game realese?

Marowak and Wishiwashi aren't really comparable lol, Marowak actually appeared as a Ghost in RGBY and wears the bones of the dead, whereas Wishiwashi is a just a bunch of fish.

If its a Demon/Devil of the sea and looks more ghost type then Frillish and Jellicent?

Since when has demon/devil = Ghost? Also, School Wishiwashi doesn't look like a ghost at all, it just looks scary. Frillish and Jellicent resemble sheet ghosts, and thus look more ghostly.

If something looks like a ghost and they say that even a Gyardos ( Hyper Beam user) fears it?

1) It looking like a ghost is subjective at best and completely false at worst.
2) Why would it need to be ghost to scare Gyarados, which has access to dark moves it'll use more than Hyper Beam?

Then it could be feared by normal and fighting types more.(Submarine, pirates, sea legends...)

Why would it need to scare Normal and Fighting types more? We don't have any sea faring Normal or Fighting-Types, they're all terrestrial or fresh water Species.

Or maybe they plan in future a new form, evo or mega for it?

Because some random guy thinks it looks like a Ghost?

Also, Ghost School Wishiwashi wouldn't make sense because it's just a bunch of Wishiwashi together, and none of those Wishiwashi are Ghost types.

So speaking about something actually relevant to this thread, I'm really happy Mimikyu looks like it'll Evolve. I hope that it's either a split evo depending on happiness (a happy Mimikyu evo that reveals it's just cute in a different way with its disguise off, shaped like an Alolan Raichu, where it'd hang its old disguise off its tail (like Alolan Raichu's surf tail) or trade evo (a sad Mimikyu evo that is just the normal Raichu version of Mimikyu, with a few advancements on its ghostly side), although that sounds wishlisty.

But the idea of Z Forms is something I'm really on board with, and I feel like that'll be the starters (and Rockruff's) secret, seeing as they're all humanoid, or expected to be in Rockruff's case, due to the fact that I believe that it'll be the anime's bond phenomenon.

Bless you for reorganizing it, now I can just copy this and paste it in the OP

Man that pic of Anabel could be anything. I hope something like the Battle Frontier returns, maybe Anabel build it herself in Alola and she introduces you to it or something, I would love that. Also very interested in that cipher, I guess Zelda25 has to do with the 25th anniversary of Zelda but furthermore I really don't have a clue.

Seems like a rugby monkey is a certainty. Hope it has an interesting typing and isn't just Fighting-type.

I'm hoping for Fighting/Ground and its final evolution to be a gorilla! Football/soccer players have leaner builds, which would fit a monkey, while rugby or American football players (I could guess it could be either of those) are generally more built up and muscular which would fit a gorilla.

Watch, they are going to call the gorilla Harambe.

Man, I kinda hope not. Considering how the entire Internet is going on about Harambe right now, it'd get real annoying real fast. And then I'm going to hate this hypothetical gorilla Pokemon because I'll always associate it with that.

 

[PurplePopplio]

I'd rather have the rugby monkey be a smallish monkey that evolves into a powerhouse. My preferred typing would have to be Fighting/Ghost. We haven't had one yet.
