So, after the Italian translator leak and the @lavandula one, we can now triangulate some infos.
I've also noticed that a particular leak on the OP, now, is gaining in some way points.

i'm talking about the Anonymus Leak 2017.
this is the points that now can be seen under a new light:

  • US/UM are being kept under wraps because their plot connects directly into these games <= Giovanni in USUM clearly says he will return really soon, so this is a high probability
  • This is a re-imagination of the first Generation 1 games and features a redesigned Red and a new blonde girl who retcons Leaf from canon <= many people now are talking about a sort of "reboot" or something similar, very nostalgic.
  • Your rival is a Gary/Blue clone who's gender matches yours <= we know, thanks to @lavandula that Blue is in the game. If he is a she, she will called Blue/Green anyway.
  • New Pokemon variant called Clone Pokemon and they are based on the Mewtwo clones in the Anime. These are obtainable from the Mew/Mewtwo side quests <= thanks to the Italian leak we know they have added a sort of "spinda mechanic" to make more variety of pokemons. So maybe different sizes of bulbasaur, or some color-variant of some sort--- or, as spinda, different markings, like the clone pokemon in the movie!

What is this Italian translator leak everyone is talking about? Can someone post a link or give a summary of what the Italian translator has said?

Not sure if trolling.. but, does changing HMs to ride pokemon can make a drama? no, it's the same thing but this time you don't give up a move slot.
and changing gyms for trails turn it from jrpg to arpg? no
but change from turn based will make a drama and will make pokemon go from normal rpg to arpg.
trails and HMs are not big like a battle system change.
some changes can be good, but a genre change is too much, so please think before you comment.

I'm not trolling at all. You literally said "why change something that gives you a ton of money for 22 years" and I gave you plenty of changes that they had made just recently. Changes have been made every single game that was released, making your logic incredibly flawed.

So you just ignored all my points, K.

I just read someone saying that Meania (the new italian region name in the leak) may come from Mediterranea so basically the new region may include Spain, Italy, Greece, Southern France, Northern Africa, Turkey. That would be epic, all those plays are wonderfull and the region itself would be huge.
Now some regions names (Unova, Alola) have something to do with their real counterparts, all the others are just random so...

There’s a difference between adding a small mechanic or doing an alternate yet similar thing than there is to straight up revamping a whole system.
I don't know...Sri Lanka looks really boring in shape for a pokemon region.

Plenty of the Regiins don’t have interesting shapes. It’s how they plot the ovations and direction that makes them interesting.

So becaise I’m bad at it until after the fact, we’re supposed to get something about Pokémon this weekend right?

Yeah, on Pokenchi at least related to the movie. Some people are thinking they might reveal Zeraora, which I think is a possibility.

EDIT: I kinda believe that Italian leaker saying that we'll get something by March, because we already know there will be a "big scoop" on Lugia in Corocoro the same month. With that said, it could be a new Gen 8 mechanic and then the game reveal could happen shortly before or after the Corocoro news. Something almost like how they rolled in the XY news if I can even remember how that went, haha.

I know, Sinnoh and Kalos may not be exactly complex in shape, but Sri lanka is basically a blob island, it could have a couple of lakes and rivers but I can't see the playthrough being that complex as Unova or Alola...

In summary gen 8 will be huge nostalgic and many things only the veterans understand the generation itself wants do something risky but use weapons for these risk its not at all and the last thing and its the most mad with my part its this gen introduce more pokemon than 5 gen
since someone opened thead i feel many things moments when i want throw pokemon forever and another i m curious what its the trump card of game freak
another meanwhile its complains for how goes anime and in overall the bad habit for scrap mons because someday its released because zeraora its the point wants maintain interest of the game because he releases zeraora more early more people lost interests in the game the point its yes people plays long time the competitive but i refer game freak want in your maintain interest in his product everyday its something like marketing strategy or something like that

I can't see Sri Lanka being the region. So far all the regions have been Japanese, or places Japanese people like to visit. I believe Masuda stated that specifically when talking about why they choose Hawaii and before that France.

I could be wrong, but I don't think many Japanese people visit India, certainly not Sri Lanka, they're not really places I imagine Japanese fans being interested in. I think Spain, the UK and Italy remain the top 3 contenders.
