SV Leaks and/or Rumours Thread

This seems very unlikely to be real, but I'll post it anyway. Feel like it would be too easy for Nintendo to find out who was editing the next trailer and black bag them for this. Also, the voice sounds a little off from the usual announcer. That and I think they mispronounce "battle" as "buttle".

Why is it sooo shaky?

Also, I can't understand what he's saying at all.

I think he said the region’s name is Neopolis.

If he did then imma press X to doubt.

“New City” as the name of an entire Region is really dumb.

I think he said the region’s name is Neopolis.

Yeah, I really don't think so

well to be honest Neopolis sounds more like the name of a city than a region!

a "Neopolis City" sounds more possible!

neopolis doesnt even sound like a pokemon name

How do you define a "Pokémon name"?

Because if you had told me years ago that there were going to be places called Stow-on-Side, Wedgehurst and Circhester in a Pokémon game, I would have laughed in your face and said that sounds like some knockoff Harry Potter place names. But here we are...

 

[BackSet]

Might I remind you of the glory that is Neos City.

Edit: Seriously, though, Neos City has a banger theme.

sure, because those sound british. neopolis sounds like a generic video game city name. pokemon city names tend to have some sort of convention to them, and 'neopolis,' two greek words tossed together, doesnt fit

It really isn't any different etymologically since Circhester is also two words "Circus" and "Fortification" slammed together to make a passably real sounding place.

But I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree, since it "sounds" fine to me (although I still call it fake as the Region Name).

Ehh, I'll give you Stow-on-Side. The others, though? I think they're alright. Perhaps even good. Definitely far better than the Japanese ones. Engine City for an industrial city designed around the steam engine? Freeze Village for a town in the middle of a snowy tundra? Shoot City? Circus Town?!

At least the English names take inspiration from British culture and actual English names or, at the very least, try to sound like they're names someone would give to their settlements. Meanwhile, Game Freak looked at the "big" industrial city they created, named it Engine City (Because industrial revolution, get it? Get it?!), and called it a day.

1. -polis would probably work better for an Italian or Greek region.Which just makes it sound like people are still hopping for not-Spain.

2. Sounds too close to Neopets's Neopia.

 

[BackSet]

To be fair, English stuff often sounds exotic to non-English ears, much like non-English stuff often sounds exotic to English ears (USA, Canada, and the UK).

 

[Cels]

I would like the name to be Hispania although I know it will not happen..

From the snippet we heard, I think it’s more supposed to evoke “Neapolitan” rather than what you said, which would mean that I messed up on the spelling of the word by putting “neo” in place place of “nea” by mistake. So, what I meant to say is that the region seems to be named “Neapolis” from the audio leak.

Sorry about that everyone.

New riddle?
View attachment 161431

Looks like the only possibility (adding vowels only) is "Payday", like Meowth's move. Related to the coin objectmon?
Maybe also a clue to resolve the "gwjse" from the Fuecoco riddle?

If PDY were Payday, it would be PYDY. Y can be a vowel, but it makes no sense to include one Y and not both.

oh it's ok although it still sounds more like a city to me!

Neopolis city... what is this... a Greece region?

That doesn’t really change my opinion on it being fake though. Regardless of Nea or Neo, the fact that it would still have the second half mean “city” makes it come across as too phony for a Region name.

Something about the voice sounds too rigid and almost text to speech to me. It might be that one website that takes voice clips and tries to turn text to speech that sounds similar
