Hot/Cold, Summer/Winter, Plus/Minus ... all of these rumors are pointing towards a common theme in my book.

 

[Icy Wind]

With so many rushing to discredit anything Plus/Minus or Crown/Sceptre

Why “rushing”? The former is 5 years old and the latter was proven fake. There’s no reason to take either rumors seriously anymore.

Well, my source, who will only identify themselves by the name of Throat Chop, has informed me that the next game will be set in Kalos. I've been told the titles are Pokémon Proletariat and Pokémon Bourgeoisie

They also shared with me some more surprising information

Game Freak have seen how hungry fans are for more Kalos, so after Proletariat and Bourgeoisie, they will release Let's Go Togepi and Let's Go Marill, but instead of going to Kanto after beating the League, we will go to Kalos again

Subsequent games are only in the very early planning stages, but I have it that Game Freak are in fact planning to stop making new regions altogether for the foreseeable future, in favor of a thirteen-year onslaught of Kalos games, with Zygarde being the mascot of all of them and receiving a new forme for every letter of the alphabet (this will be hinted at with the Unown in LGTM): Pokémon A and B, then C and D, then E and F, then G and H, then I and J, then K and L, then M and N, then O and P, then Q and R, then S and T, then U and V, then W (released as a single game because it's already two letters), and finally culminating in Pokémon XZ and YZ (the Zs are stylized like 2s), where you will start in Kalos, and after beating the League, you will be able to go back to the original Kalos from X and Y

I can’t like this enough. Well done.

Pokemon Celsius would be a cool name.

Where were crown and sceptre proven fake? Also Zygarde was rumoured more than 3 years before it was finally revealed.

 

[prog rocker]

Let's see: Plus/Minus got discredited the moment Sun/Moon were revealed, so it's pretty surprising people still bring them up, while Crown/Scepter got discredited because the author said we would be getting anything one or two weeks after New Year.

 

[Icy Wind]

Where were crown and sceptre proven fake?

Because it promised a reveal “one or two weeks after new year” and that obviously didn’t happen.

 

[Cainhxrst]

pokemon crown and sceptre was a roleplaying group on gamefaqs from 2018. Whoever posted the rumor initially probably just got inspo from this

 

[Icy Wind]

Also Zygarde was rumoured more than 3 years before it was finally revealed.

I’m not sure I understand what you’re trying to say here.

 

[Defiant]

Iirc it simply said "sometime after the new year"
And Plus/Minus being 5 years (closer to 4 years) old doesn't discredit them in my opinion, Zygarde was rumoured 3 years in advance, HGSS 4 years, and Sun/Moon were special sort of anniversary games wedged in.

 

[Icy Wind]

Iirc it simply said "sometime after the new year"

Nope

 

[prog rocker]

About Plus/Minus: Yeah, but what about all about the Switch that they got wrong, like the ability to answer calls like the leaker said?

 

[Defiant]

The belief was that we would get Gen 3 remakes in Gen 5, no doubt when XY came out, many would've claimed this discredited the RSemakes, written it off as FRLG and HGSS were just made as their originals couldn't connect to the current series at that point etc.
Then 1 year later...

"Just joking" I presume? That was the excuse earlier wasn't it?
Interesting your jokes only target people wishing to contribute.

 

[prog rocker]

Also, about Zygarde: People believed we would be getting something in the future was because they left Thousand Arrows and that other signature move in the data of Pokémon X/Y, so at least there was evidence to support the claim that a forme was scrapped at that moment.

Yes, it’s a joke. It’s not “targeting” anyone. Lighten up a little.

 

[Defiant]

Jokes are only funny when both sides are laughing, what you and your friends do is mocking and belittling making the thread unwelcoming to anyone who wishes to discuss a topic you personally are done with.

Pokémon Proletariat and Pokémon Bourgeoisie

Those names sound way too complex
