Official Pokémon Sword and Shield speculation thread (Updated June 5th, 2019)

[AngryBinacle]

The bug thingey looks like it's a faked based off Vikavolt's model.

 

[NealIRC]

Maybe? Also I'd hold my breath on that one. That leak was way too long winded to be real. Like he was just posting ideas he liked and is passing it off as a leak. I mean come on, Meltan being important?

So you guys see what's wrong with this post?

This person tries to bring down the other person's leak, rather than bringing his up. This makes it look like as if the leaks are competing. Does someone else's falseness brings your truthness up?

So when asked if your co-worker works for Nintendo, your answer is "Maybe?"

See, that's avoiding the question.

Fire/Electric, Water/Poison, yea seems a litle farfetch'd. Wonder how your co-worker got that.

 

[Poke Dragon]

I must remind everyone that these are RUMORS, not leaks, this is like the millionth time I had to say this and it's starting to get annoying because of seeing the word "leaks" getting passed around like it isn't such a big difference than rumors. This is probably the last time I'll say this because it seems no one can tell the difference, if you want to be salty just because of something you thought was real didn't become real, be my guest, I'm done trying to keep the level of disappointment to a minimum.

 

[Grass Type Gardenia]

I wonder what the Galar Team Rocket Motto is going to go like?

 

[multiingbe]

Why would there be more than one master per gym?

I am not sure, but, something about the Gyms being "bigger than ever" could allow for multiple Leader-level trainers to preside there!!

 

[Boss1708]

I think there will be only one Gym Master per Gym.

Dude, seriously? KnightWolf is just expressing his own opinions on leaks-he has as much a right to do that as anyone else here. And he never claimed to be behind any leak, so I don't know what you're going on about with "your coworker".

 

[Grass Type Gardenia]

I had a silly thought, but I was wondering if they could pull off voice acting for the games?

Or would you still think that's a while off yet.

 

[KiranTheWitch]

The bug is obviously fake and yall have been talking about it for the last 20 pages. I'd say that's enough speculation about that "leak".

 

[NealIRC]

That is correct.

And he never claimed to be behind any leak, so I don't know what you're going on about with "your coworker".

I'll make it clear to you.

SodiumChloride posted lake A.
KnightWolf posted leak B.

When asked about leak B, KnightWolf did nothing to say about his leak B, only to bring down leak A.

That wasn't my question. I also was not even asking his opinion on leak A.

And yet, when asked about his "co-worker" if working for Nintendo or not, he avoids the question.

I been on the Internet for 19 years, I see the same pattern when people avoid the question. I wasn't attacking what he said, I was attacking what he didn't say.

Now, I'm going to add a new topic. You quoted my post before he did. There's a good chance he won't even reply to my post anymore, he'll be inclined to quote your post and reply to you, and "talk about me in 3rd person." However, if that happens, I will fault him for it, rather than you. In my experiences on the Internet, people really mess up the whole "1 conversations at a time."

 

[Icy Wind]

Wth. This contradicts the other leak that they will be Grass/Fighting, Fire/Steel, and Water/Psychic.

This 1 is probably fake.

Edit: and it most likely is fake considering terms like "Generation 8" is not something Nintendo uses, it's a fan-made word.

Nobody has to believe every leak. There's nothing wrong with someone only expressing doubt in leaks that they don't believe in.

When asked about leak B, KnightWolf did nothing to say about his leak B, only to bring down leak A.

He said that because you were doubting Leak B primarily because it contradicted Leak A. If you're basing the credibility on leaks on whether or not they contradict Leak A, you can't get mad when people respond by just talking about Leak A.

And yet, when asked about his "co-worker" if working for Nintendo or not, he avoids the question.

Knightwolf did answer your question.

And the other guy said "my co-worker." What is that supposed to mean, an employee from Nintendo?

Maybe?

And, again, Knightwolf did not write that rumor. He was sharing it to this thread. Knightwolf isn't claiming he has a coworker that shared this information with him.

I don't expect them to have voice acting in this gen specifically, but that is a good thought. That would be kind of cool. World of Final Fantasy had voice acting, and it didn't feel out of place for a Pokemon-like game. They'd need to invest in some voice actors at least at BotW level, though, to prevent it from being a memetacular disaster.

For GF, though, I get the feeling they'd start out with a sigh, word, laugh, or groan that starts off the text box, like in the Mario & Luigi games and a lot of other RPG's, and that'd be their way of testing it out.

Not unless it's like this:

I feel like they could put voice acting in now if they wanted to, but I'm kind of thinking they wouldn't-- I couldn't say that definitively, of course, but there's a few things that I think would make them hesitant to do it;
-I don't know how many it would wind up being, but I feel like a decent amount of people wouldn't like it. That could be solved with the option to disable it, though.
-Voice actors; I don't actually know anything about how voice acting in games works or what kind of budget they would need, so I won't say that they don't have/want to spend the money on it, but I think that maybe the Anime's existence would give them pause. Not that they'd have to do this, but I think that giving official voices to characters in the game would kind of mean that those same voices would be expected to be in the Anime as well. Now, I'm assuming that the VA's could also voice act for the Anime as well, but some might not be able to.

I wouldn't say it's an absolute "no way", and maybe they will at some point--

--and I think that probably if they do decide to go for it, it would be a few generations of this ^^ before anything fully acted. Just my guess, though.

And you only worked to bring down Leak B.

That's how you interpreted my post?

I guess I was not obvious enough. I was trying to ask about his leak.

SodiumChloride's leak was an image so I knew he didn't create the leak.

But KnightWolf's was a post he typed about his co-worker.

And so far, he is not answering if his co-worker is from Nintendo.

So while it did not look like I was asking a question in my 1st post, I had to re-clarify that later in case some were a little slow.

And I'll admit. He made his post minutes after SodiumChloride's post and commented, and with the timing, unless it was just a coincidence, I felt like as if he made it just to counter that, but that's fine, a lot of you believe in coincidences.

Nobody has to believe every leak. There's nothing wrong with someone only expressing doubt in leaks that they don't believe in.

Yup. That's what I've been doing.

He said that because you were doubting Leak B primarily because it contradicted Leak A.

And while you are right that his leak contradicted leak A, it wasn't the only true thing. Other factors were around too, like the whole usage of "Generation 7" or "Generation 8." Since when does Game Freak or Nintendo use those terminology? The Bulbapedia articles say those terms are fanmade in the article names, Generation_VII and so forth.

Knightwolf did answer your question.

Yes, he said "Maybe?" He sounded sarcarstic too.

And, again, Knightwolf did not write that rumor. He was sharing it to this thread. Knightwolf isn't claiming he has a coworker that shared this information with him.

True.

But are you going to address the things we actually disagree with?

 

[Diamond & Pearl]

They already did that with Pokeball Plus and Mew if I’m not mistaken.

I think that's also served as a nod to the famous glitch which enabled you to get Mew very early on.

What are you even trying to prove? That Kinghtwolf and Sodiumchloride are part of some leak conspiracy?

The “coworker” thing was literally quoting a leak, not talking about Kightwolf’s coworker:

"

If you're basing the credibility on leaks on whether or not they contradict Leak A, you can't get mad when people respond by just talking about Leak A.

Well that's the heart of the problem.

If someone has this issue X, are you going to be immediately direct about it? Well, for this case, the answer is eventually. But I didn't want to do it initially.

It's just like complimenting a girl straight up front or being indirect about it 1st.

By half-way getting to the issue, it's a chance to see if they even want to talk about it. And then I find out, (so far) they don't.
