Leak Repository Thread (WARNING: Huge spoilers!)

Venting & Sourcing
  • Hey everyone, colours here.

    I'm going to get straight to the point: there's no doubt that there's a lot of passionate opinions on SwSh and Game Freak's development of the game as well as TPC(i)'s marketing. While criticisms are welcome (no company is perfect, after all), we the Video Game Staff would like to ask that all posts that are venting/ranting in nature and not specifically having to do with discussion of leaks in particular be taken to the Venting Thread.

    Secondly, there have been several instances of uncredited fanart that have been posted here. We're going to ask that you please source the artist of the fanart somewhere in your post. Failure to do so will result in the post being removed and possible warnings.

    Thank you for reading,

    About Disagreements
  • Hey everyone,

    Quick reminder that although healthy disagreement between users is fine (I mean, not everyone agrees on everything, of course), that we keep it as civil as possible, and there's no need for any of it to get out of hand. If you find a discussion is getting a bit too heated, it might be wise to take a breather. Worst come to worst, both parties can agree to disagree, but it shouldn't be anything personal.

    EDIT: Also, keep in mind that we don't want to derail the thread too much, as this is primarily a leaks discussion thread.

    Thanks for reading,

    Respectful Discussion & Intersite Drama
  • Hey everyone,

    We realize the discussion has moved on by now, but it's really not necessary to comment on how "gay" or not a Pokemon is. Secondly, please don't bring intersite drama here. It's really not relevant nor necessary. Instances of the such will be deleted with possible warnings.

    This is a reminder to keep discussion respectful and relevant.

    Thanks for reading,

    Respectful Discussion Reminder
  • Hey everyone,

    I know things are fine so far, but this is a reminder to keep conversations and discussions civil. Debates and disagreements are fine, but also need to be kept civil. With these leaks coming in waves there's bound to be some strong feelings towards certain Pokemon. We've had to delete several posts so far due to people crossing the line when it comes to being either condescending or making rather unnecessary posts belittling others' opinions so again, it's nice to be respectful and keep in mind not everyone is going to have the same tastes in Pokemon.

    Posting Leaked Images
  • Hey everyone. Recently, some of our fellow Pokémon fan sites have received legal requests to take down leaked Sword and Shield images. We have not received one of these requests yet, but we are taking some preemptive measures to stay on the safe side. We ask that from now until the games release (November 15th) that you do not post any new leaked images anywhere on the forums.

    Links to other sites displaying images should still be ok, but please avoid posting a straight link with a preview of linked content (for example: Twitter). We suggest instead adding a hyperlink to text to avoid these previews from appearing.

    We do not plan to remove previously posted content at this time, but this may change as we receive more information. We will keep you updated as we learn more. Thank you for your understanding, and we hope you enjoy this final week of leaks and speculation.
     
    End of Leaks Speculation
  • Hey, everyone! With the release of Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield tomorrow, this just about wraps up the need for this thread. In all honesty, it's been a fun half-year discussing and speculating. Look forward to some new discussion threads tomorrow, geared towards those who are taking their very first steps in the Galar region. n.n
