Here's an interesting leak.
Could be real, could be fake. If it is fake then congratulations to him for taking this much effort.

Doesn't tell me anything other than pokemon still have four move slots. At least that's the only thing that makes sense there.

If this is the same guy from the last 4chan post like he says he is then this a very detailed person. It's pretty accurate to what I've heard about general translation teams. Makes a lot of sense. If fake then this guy deserves a medal.

He's definitely consistent. All of his info is the same as his previous post a week or so ago. If true, this leak definitely suggests that Sri Lanka is the foundation for the new region. If fake, it's the best and most believable one we've got.

The leak's got a huge flaw though: unlike in English, French, German, Korean and Chinese, Pokemons' names are not 'translated' in Italian.

I think the leaker hinted at it being a peninsula in the previous thread. mabye its south east asia as a whole, and you start out in Sri Lanka

Are you sure about this? Ultra Beasts and Z-Moves (although cool), is Gamefreak going insane.
Including new features is now equivalent to "logic doesn't matter"?
They didn’t really “code” in Generation 2 Pokemon, however that is sort of what Glitch Pokémon are. They planned on having 190 Pokemon, and the Glitch Pokemon do correspond to actual Generation 2 Pokemon so technically speaking they where present as you can see here: List of Pokémon by index number (Generation I) - Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia
based on their index numbers.
Pokemon aren't just index numbers. Including an index number for a placeholder number is not the same as creating a model, move pool, and dex entry for a Pokemon.
Would it really be pointless? Gamefreak likes future proofing things so it isn’t highly likely the next games will use the same 3D models as Sun/Moon so coding in Zeraora only to not use it right now doesn’t really matter if eventually it will be added because future proofing.
If they're only using it in the next game, then, yes, including Zeraora in USUM is pointless. If they wanted to test out Zeraora's model, they could easily do so without implementing it into the final release.

Since Zeraora's model is in the game's files, it is a Gen 7 Pokemon. End of story. I don't know why some of you believe it's a Gen 8 mon, but that just doesn't make any sense.

Not saying it's likely but theoretically, if Gen 8 comes out before Zeraora were released and Zeraora was then released only on the switch games unable to be transfered like all the rest, you could potentially call it a Gen 8 Pokemon.

Are thousand waves and arrows Gen 6 moves or Gen 7 moves? I'm not sure there is a definitive correct answer.

The best "leak" so far; I am very interested on it, real or not. Very coherent and fun to read.
The leak itself is interesting. What's weird is the leaker revealing its backstory...Basically he is italian, he works on an early part of the script (info are pretty accurate: jungle, Silvan, starters), he has worked for Us/Um and Xenoblade 2. I remember a point where he wrote about how He became a translator and where he has studied. This is like screaming: "please Nintendo ninjas find me!". Which makes me think it's a fake.

I think we are close to an announcment
When we get our first big movie scoop, a new gen announcment is soon
Like SM was announced a week after Magearna.
X and Y was announced like 3 weeks after the genesect movie
I THINK gen 5 and zorark were announced close to each other if not at the same time
