Hmm. Wasn't aware of this. Then,please, Affleck leaker. Come back.

Watch him be the biggest piece of shit too.
Affleck leaker was a one and done and barely gave us anything, really. I mean, it was substantial at the time, but compared to what we get from Khu, it's nothing.

I don't like Khu's attitude but I do like that he keeps consistently giving us something to talk about so we're not stuck just arguing over the same stagnant leaks for months.

Affleck leaker leaked the gimmicks, cramorant, scorbunny's middle evo (raboot), Team Yell, Bede and Marnie, Chairman Rose and his secretary, Gigantamax, etc before they were even revealed to us. Everything in that leak was correct. I wouldn't say that it wasn't substantial.

I'm so tired of Khu's needlessly overcomplicated riddles that once figured out or revealed to us is the stupidest shit imaginable. Today, for example. This entire month, he got everybody excited that it was something big that had to do with the legendaries. Turns out the big news was.....that you could ride them. Seriously. Screw this guy.

EDIT: I misread. You did say that it was substantial. But I still think you're downplaying his role. He leaked what he did and then disappeared. That's exactly what I want from a leaker. Not this childish crap.

Like I said, it was substantial at the time, but Khu spilled everything about Legends Arceus and apparently already has the whole SV pokedex on standby. So by comparison, Affleck didn't actually offer much. It was a lot then, but it's only a fraction now.

I agree, I want Affleck back too. I’d rather have bunch of leaks at once than to wait for Khu’s complicated riddles, I’m just impatient I guess.
XD You realize you'd just get the one leak and then nothing else after that, though, right?

I understand not wanting the childish crap but dropping a fraction of info about the game and then disappearing doesn't give us much to talk about. We literally spent a good portion of the last generation's leak season arguing over "hints" derived from pictures of Masuda's food.

We'd get only one leak,but at least we'd have peace and quiet. It's more enjoyable in my opinion to have one leak and wondering how much of it is true than getting stupidly overcomplicated riddles that reveal stupid shit and cringing at everything he puts out. Which,in my opinion,takes away from the fun.

Meh, I'd rather have new info from a known leaker and not have to debate so much over stupid things like trainer-pokemon fusions or armor forms.

I'd also prefer if Khu would behave himself, but ignoring that pipe dream-- yeah, I don't want to go back to that other shit. Because discussions here were so much more contentious whereas now the only heated one is Khu.

Knowing that the legendaries are rideable gives us things to speculate about. We knew from that start that it was just going to be extra info about the box mascots. It's not like there's a whole lot he could have told us.

Who cares if he drug it out. We shouldn't have assumed it was somehow going to be earth shattering news. He'll be leaking new pokemon and rfs soon. Can't wait for that.

What? You don't want to go back to the days were people would analyze a picture Masuda took of his breakfast and somehow convincing themselves that meant Gen 9 was going to be Pokemon Breakfast and Lunch? lol.

Actually what's sad is I feel like that actually happened. Probably jokingly, but I am like 80% sure this isn't the first time I've seen that joke. XD

How does being able to ride legendaries add or take away from your enjoyment of the game? I wasn't really paying attention to pokemon during this time,but couldn't you ride Solgaleo? Did that add to your enjoyment of the game in anyway? Why drag stupid shit like that out for this long? That's what I don't get.

Uh oh. It seems like I triggered some bad memories xd. I thought those were funny, even though they were stupid.

Oh you could ride Solgaleo specifically to Ultra Space via cutscene, but it's not like you controlled Solgaleo. I think the emphasis on riding pokemon here means that we could actually control our legendary and ride it around, which should be way more fun on an open world map.

I suppose so.

Think of it like this: Did riding Solgaleo in a cutscene and barely moving them when doing the wormholes add enjoyment to the game? Not really. But did riding Latios/Latias around the map in ORAS instead of using fly add to the enjoyment of the game? Absolutely, and I suspect that is more what this is about than the solgaleo situation.

Sure. That makes sense. But then again, why couldn't you just do that with ANY flying pokemon? Why does it being legendary make a difference?

Theres a certain cool factor to riding a legendary that just... a bird doesn't, but yeah fair point.

It's an interesting dynamic to consider if the legendaries are our main rides. Nebby's the only other time that we had our legendary with us for the whole game and that was just a running gag and really minor compared to it possibly being actively on screen giving us a ride around for much of the time.

And I wonder, if we can travel like in Legends Arceus, maybe we'd have to unlock upgrades for our legendary throughout our journey? Like they couldn't just hand us the ability to fly right upfront. They could put all of the PokeRide functions into the one pokemon. And if one's a traditional legendary, it just gains new powers, while if the other is manmade, it could be upgraded mechanically. That difference alone could make a difference in how the story plays out.

I would keep from assuming we’re riding the legends if I were you. Including Lugia and Zekrom in the hints, Pokémon we never ride ever, can very likely mean the legends are ridden by some other character.

Like they’re partnered with a new character and we always see the legend with that character. And THAT character rides it. But WE never do.

Just like… please don’t assume and get people’s hopes up. Speculation about it is fun, but the collage tells a different story than “the player rides the legend”.
