Leak Repository Thread (WARNING: Huge spoilers!)

[Joker901]

From a preview article released in October:

"Jumping back to the beginning of the game, you’ll be able to pick your starter Pokémon and, as is tradition in more recent games, your rival will pick the starter which is weak to your chosen Pokémon’s element. This time, however, he’s going to come at you with more than one Pokémon; you’ll have to beat both his starter and his adorable Wooloo. Hopefully this, combined with the ability to skip cutscenes, bodes well for a more challenging, less hand-holding Pokémon experience. "

It's 11/11. Nearly bought a Switch, but thanks to the leaker, I've saved my money.

I wonder when I'll be able to play a console game again. Here's to hoping Masuda and Ohmori resign or GF gets taken over.

I hope they keep the design team though. Only need to fire the person who thought up the fossils, starter final evos and the penguin.

Is corsola catchable on both versions?

Even if you don't want to buy sw/sh, trust me the switch is great and a lot of games are incredible. So buy one if you can at some point.

Aside from all the views for on the game play. As of late I've been feeling like Gamefreak missed an opportunity to make Flapple Bug/dragon they still could have made Appletun Grass/dragon. It would have diversified the Dex a little more, better explained the split evolution, and it's an easy design to shift that way. Anyone else feel that way?

Also, I second Joker's point. I love the switch it's such a great concept.

The game is about to be datamined, it seems.

Tell me more.

Rock/Fairy.

It would be neutral in that case, because Rock is weak to Fighting.

 

[TheElderKing]

Tell me more.

The game was dumped on /vp, and there seems to be some confirmation of being legit.

 

[RileyXY1]

It’s normally effected by fighting, not a resistance.

2 (Rock) x 0.5 (Fairy) =1

There’s no way apart from an ability or losing the Rock type for a Rock/Something to be resistant to fighting.

It could also be a slip up and he actually meant to say that it is immune to Fighting, which would make a lot more sense.

How does that work? A savefile? Are we certain we'll get the information, though?

They aren't gonna fire people because you don't like their Pokemon designs.

I honestly don't see what's SO wrong about these designs. I mean, I know some can dislike what other people like, but I honestly don't know how people can hate them so much. Are they really the worst we got in 23 years? I find them quite original (Milcery apart).

I guess the ROM. The guys on resetera seem certain of it.

 

[Ambrose7]

Rock/Fairy.

By resist I meant not very effective. Not neutral.

 

[TheElderKing]

Spoiler

No cut Pokémon in the data.

I don’t hate the entire generation's designs but I just wish the heads were in proportion with the bodies for some designs, particularly the base stage of the Bug/Psychic line and Drednaw's pre evolution.
There are some Pokémon I like, some I don’t, some I haven’t decided on. I was spoiled by Gen 6 and 7 since I liked so many designs that I lost count, but Gen 8 definitely isn’t the worst one of them.

(If I were forced to choose a worst, the honour goes to Gen 3, but a huge factor would be I honestly forget those designs exist due to the wonky period I’ve been a Pokemon fan. It’s responsible for giving me one of my favourite steel types of all time and second favourite grass starter).

 

[RileyXY1]

By resist I meant not very effective. Not neutral.

But, it's impossible for a Rock-type to resist Fighting unless it has an Ability that does that. Also, Stonjourner might be Rock/Ghost (and thus be immune to Fighting).

 

[Ambrose7]

Isn't it just two gym leaders, Hop and Marnie? That's what the leaker said, I believe.

What? Are you referring to the league? 4 people hmm. Shame.

You are quoting the wrong guy.

 

[TheElderKing]

A few more Gigantamax, line Snorlax, Orbeetle and maybe Toxtricity? Someone else I don’t recognize also.
