Leaks/Rumors Thread

So this is about proving that Centro had a leak but couldn't share it. Why do people give him attention, again?

 

[blitzle stan]

Yeah, this whole encrypted leak thing is just silly. I liked it when it was emoji that we could guess about, but… encrypted text that means nothing to anyone? It’s ridiculous.

No, it means when the rumor is proven true, he'll tell you go to encrypt that, which proves his statement true.

Exactly. It’s bragging about knowing something without telling anything more about it.

Centro doesn’t know anything and is trying to stay relevant during hype season

it seems like if anything they may be hinting at a new Pokemon Presents for around Hallowe'en time, as there seems to be a reference to both Hallowe'en and the full moon, that would reveal something significant! maybe part of it is referencing Unown in Legends, which have been absent so far?? i don't think it is authentic for those reasons but those are my guesses!

The only possibility is October 28th or 29th then, since 30th and 31st are in the weekend.

At this point I think we can expect at least one trailer per month and we're getting to about the middle of October already so the next one is likely to be around the end of the month. So it's not like that would be a hard guess, really.

I think 19th of October (This week might be unlikely due to Animal Crossing getting a Direct).

Maybe someone more familiar with this kind of encryption can correct me, but from what I'm finding, you can't just decrypt a hash like this- the idea is that you'd have to put the same text through the same function and check the hashes to see if they match.

And since little changes in text can result in a totally different hash (picture from Wikipedia)-

What's there to stop Centro from just saying "Oops that first hash had a typo when I encrypted it" and giving something with an entirely different hash? We couldn't prove them wrong.

DP lacked the Distotion World and that probably applies to BDSP.

I don't think that's necessarily a given for remakes- GS didn't have the Suicune plot, but they included it in HGSS.

Based off OR/AS I wouldn't hope for anything meaty from Platinum except QOL features.

What should stop them is that the point of the hash is to prove that it wasn't a lucky guess so giving us a new one after the fact would defeat the purpose.

Hence "probably", based on the exclusion of the Battle Frontier and likely inclusion of the Distortion World in Legends.

We know they’re not above just deleting claims that get proven wrong- why should they start holding themselves accountable now?

Maybe they changed their attitude? It’s unlikely, but it does happen.

 

[TechSkylander1518]

Then vague tweets that promise they've gotten information from their unnamed sources that will only be verified after information has already been confirmed to the public is the worst way to go about it.

Does it really matter? You're just jumping ahead to a possible outcome that hasn't even happened yet.

At this point, I don't think Centro has done anything wrong? Yeah, I've seen them delete claims that get proven wrong- I've also seen them say that they're deleting them so they don't spread anymore. That's actually pretty responsible behavior for an account that's centered around gathering and sharing leaks.

Then vague tweets that promise they've gotten information from their unnamed sources that will only be verified after information has already been confirmed to the public is the worst way to go about it.

I don't think they're doing anything wrong with that either. It's just like Pixelpar's doodle tweet teases for Let's Go- not particularly informative, but fun to speculate on and better than nothing.

Technically, there's a way to "decrypt" this kind of hash: by trying all the combinations until an exact match is found. But I don't think anyone would want to do that to a dubious-at-best-leaker's post and that's why this supposed leak is just ludicrous. We shall see what they've got when the time comes, but I won't hold my breath to it.

I don't know, but the purpose of a leaker should be that of releasing informations before the official announcements.
Stating that they know something and posting an encripted code that will be revealed after an official announcement is not leaking material, It's just them flexing cause they (apparently) know something.
Considering they will not reveal the actual informations and that we have to wait for the official announcements anyway, I suggest to stop caring about them cause they are only looking for attention.
