Apparently employees at the Pokemon center that Desdar300 knows someone had a "private" meeting about something. Usually they wouldn't keep as "private" as they did apparently if it was just a normal promotion. I'm personally unsure of the full details tho so don't take my word 100% for it.

I think we will get zeraora on the first week of march, usually we get a movie trailer around that time. and it will also fit with the lugia reveal on CoroCoro.
I choose you first real trailer- march 1
first trailer with Magearna - march 2
hoopa trailer with new hoopa form tease - march 4

so yeah...

They aren't allowed to say details?

God, too many leaks, rumors and speculation. I imagine this apocalyptic scenario of GF announcing switch titles for 2019 Holiday season. Could you survive to it after all that's happening?

Watch Zeraora turn out to do be nothing but Game Freak trolling us, just like how they kept AZs Floette in the code and even updatde its signature move despite not planning to do anything with it.

I really doubt that was an attempt at “trolling.”

For all that we know (and keep in mind that, in official terms, we aren’t supposed to know about that hidden data in the first place), they programmed in E-Floette’s stats and signature move just in case they ever did want to do something with it. They had to include the model anyway for the sake of the plot. What if somewhere along the line they decide to have AZ as a participant in some battle facility? They can’t presently know what they’re going to feel like doing ten years from now, so they may as well cover that base since there’s no harm in doing so.

I mean that's all he said a few pages back. It's not like it's my info lol

I mean in the end yes? It's like Pokemon is the only series I follow.........Not sure whether this was meant as a slight against me or whether you're just joking......Tho honestly I doubt we'll get the game that late......

Those dates are kinda wrong. Those are the west dates. All the trailers have been revealed the first thursday of March so:
March 2
March 3
March 5

Lugia trailer should come on March 1st (February 28 for West) on Oha Suta

Hmmmmmm At least 2 new Green (Blue) figures announced. Green (Blue) merch inbound makes you wonder why they'd choose now? Not that they need a particular reason hahaha But it's interesting given we have the leak from Lavandula saying Green will be in the new game in some form. Also I'd seriously consider buying that Green Nendroid haha

Italian Translator Leak
  • According to the translator, the translation team is almost halfway done their scripts with the last bunch of scripts dropping late March with their contracts likely being terminated by the Summer so the translator thinks a March announcement is likely and that a 2018 release is possible
  • The region name is Meania and the local food is Kottu which is described as being spicy
  • More on the region: The translations take place in a single location of the game the translator refers to as the "Green Area". It is said to be huge and is the only place mentioned in this script (excluding shops and villages). Also the fact that there are 60,000 words that need translation in this part of the game suggests that exploration will be bigger than normal
  • The term "Big Island" is also mentioned which could hint at the region. It is unknown if it refers to a single big island (as in the whole region) or the biggest island in a group of islands like Alola
  • No game titles are mentioned, the project is just called Pokemon Switch (This isn't really a relevant detail unless the game is literally called Pokemon Switch )
  • Within the area they translated, there are 17 (give or take) new Pokemon including the starters and a new Grass Pokemon (more on this below)
  • There will be a big fat Grass Pokemon that will be the "meme of the game", and will be given a lot of meme-ish mentions. It is unlikely a regional variant of Snorlax
  • The starters are described in a very vague sense by some of the NPCs. One mentions that females will have bigger ears, another mentions that you can see the fire in its eyes, and then there is one that people are confused by because they are not sure if they are looking at its real face
  • There is a new way to "lengthen the logic of capture them all" (This part was translated) and they mention that it will be like Spinda logic but amplified and not just Spinda. This could mean we will get randomly generated Pokemon variants like Spinda with its patterns.
  • Customization is likely to return as it is alluded to in the script
  • A new Pokemon will have the move Will-O-Wisp (Possibly the fire starter)
  • Silvan is a mysterious jungle boy that will be a recurring character (who will likely have a big role in the game) who follows you around but runs away if you try and interact with him. He is definitely being manipulated/scared by someone evil and although it isn't mentioned in the scripts, he may be related to some experiment relating to Pokemon and Humans
  • It looks like they introduced Halfway Stores where you can go to stay well furnished as you follow bigger exploration routes
  • There are 3 tutorials mentioned in the script which seem to be "triggers" for mini games which are detailed in other scripts (that they don't have) which means this/these mini game(s) (They never specified it was 3 tutorials for 3 different mini games, or 3 tutorials for 1)
  • 4 Moves are still mentioned in the game, however the translator believes something definitely will change when it comes to battling. A lot of NPC's mention the "Arena" which is a place where trainers go to fight and a lot of players mention they want to go there because battles are more exciting there. Also there are special items that are said to affect the field when activated. These special items are exclusive to the Arena and cant be assigned to Pokemon. The translator says this whole Arena thing sounds like something fun and new but they have a feeling that it will be like a Battle Royale 2.0
Wow, that was amazing, it saved me a lot of work. Thanks for summarizing.

But just out of curiosity: does anyone noticed something missing in this summary about the Italian translator leak?

edit: corrected the sentence.

Why do you see something? I haven't looked at it.

Re: Real-time battle system, i'm starting to have doubts that we're going to see any changes to the battle system due to Masuda saying "not to get our expectations too high" back in August.

So you just ignored all my points, K.
Your points were added on AFTER your original statement, and AFTER my reply. So yes, they were ignored, because like I said before, I was replying solely to your statement saying "Why change anything after 22 years that still makes money" despite the fact they have made several changes every single game, including the ones I specifically mentioned.

Those changes were made because most of them were improvements. Some like the festival plaza were not. I don't see why some people believe a battle system change would definitely be an improvement.

Actually I think Ishihara (or was it Reggie?) told months ago that the Switch title was a "core RPG experience", implying it was another game similar to the already released ones.

But.
