I wasn’t treating it like the leaks were real. They could be real or they could be fake. I was just saying that the food thing was due to either localizations or international foods could be popular in another country. I even said that the leaks could be real or fake, I wasn’t treating them like they were actual facts.
Sorry. The way you worded that comment made it look like it was confirmed that the region will be based on India.

Still can't debunk the Italian translator's leak.
The way he describes how translation teams work, is very similar to what the Riddler said.
And... I don't think I have translated that into English.

Also, he didn't say Sri Lanka. He only mentioned the food, Kottu.
Kottu is popular in South India too.
South India makes a lot of sense because Nintendo is currently negotiating Switch games with multiple Indian game devs.
Nintendo wants games for the Switch developed by Indians.
Moreover, Ryuki (the one you battle in the Kantonian gym) seems to hint at India.
I think the existence of Ryuki is foreshadowing.

Alright, this probably isnt the bigges leak. And there is not a lot to back up that this will be the case.

I work in the childrens department of a big brand bookstore. While helping a customer who was looking for a Pokemon book, I come across the info for the new Essential Handbook (Im not at my computer so I cant get it now, but Ill upload a photo later). The release date for it is in July of this year. Its important to note that the last one came out (which has all the Pokemon thru gen 6) came out in the July 2016, the summer before Sun and Moon. These do feel like summer books, and while it can be nothing. This can also mean that the release date of Gen 8 is before Summer 2019. Ill try to look into it more.

Maybe Zeraora wont be revealed tomorrow on Pokenchi. Wasn't this the guy people are speculating will play Zeraora or something like that? Well supposedly it says here that what he is wearing hints at the announcement tomorrow so maybe he voices Ilimia in either the anime or the movie. Unless the eevee is a hint...

I hope it's in India! I'd rather have the Switch games take place in India than in Kanto which would be very boring and I would hate or on the island of Sri Lanka where the climate is tropical. We've had two back to back games with tropical areas (Hoenn and Alola). I'd love for it to take place in India where the climate is diverse and the region is new.

I don't think the Switch games will be out this summer, that's way too soon in my opinion if that it was you are reffering to. If anything, they will probably be out in the Autumn of this year at the earliest. Though @lavandula has gotten word from her Chinese sources that the games might be delayed until 2019. And her Japanese sources have always thought it would be 2019 from the beginning.

Nope, since Ilima has Eevee in the anime, so yes... the guy is gonna voice Ilima.

I think that anything relaed or close to china would be the greatest marketing strategy for a region. Remember that pokemon is playable in chinese just since 2016 so a region based on south-east Asia could bring new people to pokemon...

P.s. Don't trust Pokenki. Nothing relevant will be revealed in it.

Is finding out who will be voicing Illima really what passes for news nowadays in Japan?

Well then idk what his special surprise would be. It doesn't make sense to say he has something big to talk about if it's just that he's playing Ilima. I still think Zeraora is on the horizon and will be revealed within the next month or so. The Eevee thing could be a hint at something new, but I'm not sure. Project Eevee has a pretty decent chance of eventually revealing this next gens Eeveelution so maybe Ilima has a new evolution? What else could be a surprise? I doubt they'd hype up the Eevee z move as it's not like they've done that for any of the other Z moves. Not even Ash and Pikachu's I don't think. I still think something big is coming whether that be a gen 8 tease or Zeraora. Between what the sources are saying and @Desdar300 saying his friend who works at a Pokemon Center having a secret staff meeting it seems like it.

Pokenki has been a great troller in the past, so this does not surprise me. The point here is that he basically spoiled the announcement because he is litterally dressed as Illima and is holding an eevee

If Zeraora was meant to be announced on Pokenki someone from GF would have been there. Not happening, not today/tomorrow

It doesn't have to be based on an area close to China in order to attract them. A region based on Hawaii worked just fine.

Last time, Pokénchi gave us Dusk Lycanroc.
I mean, yes, this time will be probably nothing but we can't just ignore Pokénchi always.

I miss the days of Pokemon Sunday when they actually did reveal stuff first and it was a big surprise.....lol

I would argue that regardless of what he's there to talk about the surprise hasn't been fully revealed yet. Maybe it won't be super grand like we'd like, but I bet he'll reveal something "new" that the picture doesn't spoil.

I know. What I am saying is that people who couldn't play pokemon for 20 years would be pleased to have their own region in Pokemon. Fans would buy the game anyway but imagine for chinese people to have their pokemon game in Chinese AND settled in China.

I also miss those days too when Pokémon Sunday actually did reveal stuff first and it was a big surprise. Among my favorite reveals being HeartGold and SoulSilver's announcement and the reveal of Zoroark.

I don't think the region will be based on China due to the various conflicts between Japan and China throughout history. They really don't like each other.
