Official Pre-Pokémon Sword & Pokémon Shield Speculation & Leaks thread

The Gen 8 games will definitely have Hold Items. Now, seeing how Game Freak likes to use a system's capability, I wouldn't be surprised if the Sri Lanka rumor is confirmed. But it can be equally be debunked as well.
 
Yeah I was talking about the Let's Go games.

ON TOPIC:

Could this be the Gen 8 region?Looks like a rotated Britain kinda

Wasn't Sri Lanka more fan speculation than rumor? I know Piuk mentioned it, but I thought there were posts about the idea before him.
 
If that map is a rotated Britain, then Ireland looks quite diminished.

Also, Piuk was obviously lying. He disappeared right after LGPE were revealed, and the translation of the 2019 games has not started yet. He implied back in February/March that the games he was translating would be revealed within a few months, but nope.

Could very well be. We've had stuff that was hidden in the background come back to be of great relevance before. Like, for example, Toucannon and Ribombee in Gen 7.

Although, i'm still hanging tight to those rumors of Gen 8 being in spain. I think it was a bit too suspicious for a magazine talking about Gen 8 to be printed out just in that country.

Also, Junichi Masuda has visited Spain before...About 4 years ago in fact. Possible scouting?
 
I feel (non-Japan) Asia should get a chance since Japan may very well be a continent of its own in the context of this franchise.
How about China? That should be a long game! China is huge! Plus there's plenty of interesting animals and folklore you can draw inspiration from.
 
According to Pokejungle Chinese riddler said the trademarked Kanto mons plus mr.mime are getting new mega evolutions
 
I'm pretty sure that the Riddler only said that they could get new Mega Evolutions based on the 2013 precedent. That list overlapped with the Mega one, but it missed some and included misleading candidates.
 
What were the previous 'leaks' by this riddler? Between the S/M OG riddler, the alleged Chinese riddler and various other riddlers, riddles seem to be the new style of fake leaking and it’s getting boring quickly.

I miss those straightforward 4chan ramblings now.
