Official Pre-Pokémon Sword & Pokémon Shield Speculation & Leaks thread

Nothing is happening on the 23rd, since that is on a saturday.

That guy is really talking out his behind.

Considering how they modified the Day/Night system in SM, they might make the gender options version exclusive if they decide to name the games King & Queen. I hope that they don't do that.

That's going backwards. Unlike the day and night thing. Which could be chalked up to time zones. Like It's day time where you were in Kanto in Moon, so it's night in Alola.

If the King and Queen thing was real, hypothetically speaking, maybe the evil team has a male or female leader depending on the version or the professor is either male or female or the ruling monarch is either a king or a queen or something. Even having a King Crimson or Queen inspired soundtracks based on the version sounds a lot better than going back on a staple feature that's been around for 20 years and almost every other RPG has now.

If anything the 25th here is gonna be our best bet since that's Tuesday the 26th there.

I'll predict a PKMN direct announcement on the 26th in Japan (25th for us) with the Direct on the 27th.

Pokemon Queen has already touched the doorknob

worth taking a look?

They're already a verified fake.

Which also directly contradicts their statement that "I've said the games would be revealed Feb 20-24 since January".

I mean, we can look at their profile tomorrow and see what they come up with, but we've got proof they're lying.

At this point kyogre can die by waiting that long

 

[Scruffyjay]

I don't think masuda is even "trolling" like some people say. He's just tweeting like he always does.

Poor Masuda isn't allowed to tweet casual stuff on his own twitter. =(

He needs to make a new Twitter at this point snd hope it doesnt get noticed

 

[Vanilluxcx]

Knowing this fanbase, he'd probably need to stop tweeting completely. At this point people think everything he says is cryptic.

 

[Oriden]

Anyone else feeling like the closer we get to Pokemon Day, the less confident they are that anything is going to happen? Less than ten days to go and it feels too quiet to me. XD

 

[ParasectfulDreams]

I'm hoping it's just that GF stepped up their leak-prevention game and so nothing's slipping through the cracks, but I'm not feeling the magic right now. >o<

State of the Fandom:

Could just mean the reveal will actually be a BOTW tier game, and GF wants it to be a massive reveal: Edit

[Cainhxrst]

okay honestly? Those are a LOT better than the annoying crown/sceptre fake logos that refuse to die


that being said though I still feel like they're fakes (though it's cool designwork) especially since I can't see gamefreak picking names that are so obviously gendered, due to marketing purposes

Yeah. I don't think that they would name the games "King and Queen". The logos are most likely fake.

It looks like it's on a computer which is always a dead give away.

Also the font. I highly doubt they would use such a basic font. The pokemon logos also seem to be of lower quality than everything else.

More professional than the previous ones but the green and pink colours look like a reference to James Turner 2019 picture, so not buying them for now

 

[Ashura]

Idk why
But I wouldn’t be surprised if we got a direct announcement tomorrow

 

[TechSkylander1518]

It's a fun design (honestly, I've liked most of the fake designs-even Crown and Scepter, as annoying as the leak was), but that font looks weirdly familiar to me.

What makes me really suspicious here is that camera angle. There's no reason for someone to just be taking a picture of a screen-if they're getting actual info, they should have access to the file. (like what happened with the SuMo starter leaks) The only reason someone would need to take a picture of a screen would be if they didn't have access to the file otherwise-and I seriously doubt Game Freak is letting people just hang out as they display their upcoming Top Secret Trailer without checking for any photography devices
