Leaks/Rumors Thread

Perhaps the fire crocodile and leaf cat are title legendaries? Would be a very cool pairing!
 
I do expect Legends DLC and a gen 9 announcement/tease, yeah. I'm not saying it's definitely happening, and I'm not saying more time in the oven wouldn't be appealing, but I think it's more likely to happen than not. The game's either coming in November or January, no way do they stretch it out to November 2023. Again, they might hold off on announcing it, but I find the idea that it's completely impossible that it's coming out this year pretty perplexing.

Besides, Khu said at the beginning of the year that this would be a big year for leaks, has indicated that this is the last year for gen 8 VGC, and keeps making curious observations about China and Pokemon. And it always struck me that TPCi seemed particularly proud of SuMo offering Chinese language options in the gen 7 announcement Direct-- obviously that's a big market for them. I'm 99% convinced that gen 9 is coming before the next VGC season and like 60% convinced it'll be a Chinese region.

I think a gen 9 announcement this year is likely even if it doesn't happen today. I could see a gen 9 reveal happening in May/June if not today.

They announced BDSP and Legends in the same direct so I don't think they'd care much about revealing both Legends dlc and gen 9 in the same direct either.

Probably should temper expectations though, it could just be a name drop + date for the gen 9 games and no gameplay footage or new Pokemon.
 
Despite the extravagant amount of Pokemon games and content we've been getting lately, I see that people seem to be looking forward to a 9th generation. I, on the other hand, hope that the 9th generation will only come out in the second half of next year. Game Freak needs time to assimilate all the new features introduced into Legends in a classic Pokemon game, and I hope that time will be given to them.

XD You're a bit late. It's coming out later this year.
 
Okay so what's the Palmer/Looker/April hint about if the free update is today and doesn't include them.

Being attacked by a herd of alphas seems terrifying by the way.

I get the feeling that there might be another update in April? The fact that they named the update, and "Daybreak" of all things, feels like the start of an update series, or at least a two-parter.
 
I'm glad that Daybreak is going to make it easier to directly catch big groups of otherwise rare Pokemon, anything that reduces the grind that results in the game feeling more like a chore is what I welcome openly.

So that was the Palmer and Looker hints.

Sounds like we can expect another update in April and then that's of course it for Legends Arceus.
 
Looks like we won’t have any leaks for a few months. I kinda miss the discussions. Maybe once a new trailer comes out we will find a leak that predicted it and be back on the leak train.

Mm not necessarily for a few months? Although I think Khu said that before so if we have confirmation about that then we shouldn't have been discussing until then anyways. But!! Once a new trailer comes I bet stuff will happen, maybe...?

Nah, just one or two months at most. Khu said his source always starts work in June, so that'd be the latest we can expect any leaks. Next trailer is due in May, though, so we might get something as early as maybe the end of this month if anything leaks out of marketing. We're getting to about prime time to actually start paying attention to anyone claiming to know anything.

And actually we may be due for something for Legends/BDSP this month. Guidebook for Legends comes out this month, Darkrai event is being released... today, I think, and both games still need Home enabled.
