Do any of the leakers know when gen 8 is gonna be revealed?

CSC Corporate Domains registers all of Nintendo's domains, including pokemon-sunmoon.com, pokemonletsgoeevee.com, pokemonletsgopikachu.com, pokemonxy.com, nintendo.com, nintendoswitch.com...
So I think safe to say that if they aren't listed as the registrar for these other domains (and they're not) then it's not registered for Nintendo.
There's a rumor going around that they are getting help from monolith, but I would take it with a grain of saltAbout king zell's statement, I think that isn't good.
The community seems to be reacting as if it were a brand new information, as if we had received a new information that says the game would be Botw's equivalent of the Pokémon series (as if it has been emphasized), but from what I understand, he was only answering to the questions about, and remembering what him had said previously.
I mean, it isn't a new information. If no one was taking this statement so seriously so far, I don't see why would do that now.
In an interview for Game Informer in 2017, Masuda implied that he wasn't thinking of making a open world game by that time¹. And at that time, the game was probably in the middle stage of development. In a more recent interview, he reacted differently to the idea of an open-world game though², which makes me think that we could have an open-world game in the ninth generation, but not for now.
I could not help but remember of this image:
Some points that need to be pointed out:
- Game Freak doesn't have yet the experience that other developers like Monolifth or even that Nintendo's divisions have with home consoles. That is visible by Ishihara saying they had difficulty producing games for Switch; ¹
- Game Freak currently has only 143 effective employees. That's not even half the team that produced BotW (around 300); ¹ ²
So, I think they might surprise us, and I'm expecting big things from this game, but I'm not expecting a BotW.
- In addition to the small number of employees they have in the company, Game Freak had other projects being produced from the time of the beginning of the development of the next game (probably around 2016-early 2017) until now, they were: Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon, Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu and Pokémon Let's Go Eevee and "Town";

Mabye gen 8 will be more like odessy where it isn't "open" but it still is a pretty big world (Which is basiaclly what I want)
I think if the world was too open, the game would get boring quickly with too much traveling to get to places
I think any issues with comparing Gen 8 to BOTW depends on your interpretation of what that comparison means- most people here seem to have been stating it very accurately: they don't expect a massive open world game like BOTW, but similar to how BOTW was a major upgrade for the Zelda series, Gen 8 should be a major upgrade for Pokemon.About king zell's statement, I think that isn't good.

I think it's also worth noting that pokemonletsgoeevee.com and pikachuletsgopikachu.com were registered only 14 days before the games were announced. Pokemon Sun and Moon were announced the day after pokemon-sunmoon.com was registered.It might be nothing I admit. It is odd that whoever registered these did so though a rather large company, and paid extra to make sure the domain registry couldn't be traced back to them. I don't know what domain squatting looks like nowadays but from what I recall that's way beyond what a typical domain squatter would do.
It could still be nothing but if nothing else its something to talk about that's not just going back and forth on the UK leaks.

Yeah I think King Zells implication was that it would be a step up in quality for the franchise, like BotW was for Zelda.
The 'pregnant ladies being fired to avoid being given maternity' was something I heard of recently and thought it’d fit in with the usual 4chan sob/revenge story posts.
Getting my account hacked was a brainwave which sorta justified the comment being on these forums rather than 4chan and was a more believable way of the leak matching with my wish lists...
I've been laughing hysterically reading the last few pages at the amount of attention PregnantLeaker has garnered.
I assure everyone that no psychotic leaker is after my account.
I wonder how far would it go if I pretended that it was legit
Alola has shown more instances of rich culture than all the previous regions combined.
Pokemon Wind and Stars sound really nice and Pokemon-y imo.
This might be itI would love to see them drop a quick image of one of the new Pokemon, or even an in-progress model of it in that video, that would be really awesome.
The Game Freak Graphics Designer part has a sketch that reminds me of Gardenia.
