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.


XD You realize you'd just get the one leak and then nothing else after that, though, right?
That’s fine. This way not everything get spoiled for me, just a brief leak to quench my thirst and I’d get to experience the game better. Unlike with Khu who ends up spilling everything while torturing me every month. I wish I could resist not looking at his riddles/leaks but I just can’t. I know it’s fun, but I’m impatient. :c

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?
Well we probably can't ride every pokemon still because it'd take a lot of work to do that. Like... I just wouldn't bet on it yet, as much as I want it to happen sooner rather than later. In this case, the legendary may just be taking the place of the Rotom Bike with additional PokeRide features, more or less.

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”.
True, but that he said the legendaries "function the same" feels like they have utility and he's super hyped about them. That utility being that some other character rides them around isn't really excitement-worthy.

Yeah, we should keep expectations in check, but I think it's also fair to think that there's more to this than someone else rides it. XD

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.
He never did get in that damn bag,did he?

Also. When do y'all think we are going to get our next trailer. I think with Sword &Shield, the span between our 1st and 2nd trailer was exactly 100 days.

That's what everyone on the pokeleaks reddit is decyphering it as. I'm just going off of what they are saying. Besides, no one else is saying that it means something different. So I think the general consensus is that Khu is leaking that the legendaries are rideable.

Guys, what if our legendaries are something like this but for more than just the ocean? XD

Ugh my bet was sometime this week but nothing's happened.
Khu said he'd see us in June so annoyingly we might have to wait until June.

=I ...I'd call it Nebby 2.0, the more annoying version.
Can you imagine just having to carry around a heavy ass pokemon like Wailord on your back while running around exploring? But, hey, it would be something different at least. xd

Why can't Khu just release the dex right now if they're all riddles? No one is going to figure them out until they get revealed anyway. Why wait until June?

Please no I need something

Because that defeats Khu's shtick, and nothing fun comes from every aspect of the game just being directly leaked in one day leaving nothing to look forward to for 6-7 months until the game comes out

June is going to be info on the starters, actually. He said he was working on coming up with good riddles for the other new pokemon.

The fun is figuring out the riddles. Under that folder that says "Gen 9 dex", i'm sure they're all riddles and not the pokemon themselves.

That's actually an image file.

You can tell from the little bit showing that it's a dex graphic like the ones he made for Legends-

It would literally spoil the type and presence of every pokemon in the game if the whole thing is filled out.

No actually, it looks to be the same as a thing he did with PLA, it was a list of all the pokemon in the game new and old, but instead of name or images it was dex numbers and typings. He slowly revealed more and more of the list as time went on

Here is something interesting. The Pokemon direct that revealed Gen 8 was 2-27-19. The next trailer was 6-5-19. The time span between the two dates was 98 days.

The Pokemon direct that revealed Gen 9 was 2-27-2022. I wonder if they will do the exact same thing, except not releasing it on June 5th because that's a Sunday, but June 6th, which is on a Monday. I think the first week of June is when we might expect a trailer. It also lines up with Khu saying "I'll see you in June."

“Everyone” was saying the hints were about RGB and CMYK and absolutely no one was saying it was about anything being ridden. Until suddenly it was.

I’m just saying (to everyone, not anyone in particular) to keep expectations in check and don’t fuel some kind of assumption fire that can very easily turn into anger when it’s revealed that absolutely everyone assumed TOO MUCH from this hint.

I think he more so meant that's the next time he'll start posting more convoluted and vague riddles, not when our next news drop is. I genuinely hope. Pokemon Day to June it a bit too much of a drought for news compared to XY and SM in May.

Plot twist: The Pokemon rides YOU. Yikes.

That reminds of of those training scenes from various pieces of media (mainly in martial arts-based stories) where the student is carrying their master, and whatever the master is sitting on, on their back. Imagine if Khu was hinting at this meaning the Legendary Pokémon is training us. :LOL:

On another note: are we really getting solo-Charizard favoritism again? We just had our marketable non-really-a-dragon as the champion's ace in SwSh; having it being the sole non-Gen 9 starter in SV's initial regional Pokédex is just too much. Such actions make Dexit seem more like "let's put the most marketable Pokémon in every game post-Dexit despite other Pokémon making more sense for the region in order to increase our profits" when it shouldn't. At least group it with Feraligatr and Sceptile and give all three part-Dragon-type regional variants.
