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

Eh, these new starter "leaks" are nowhere near as believable as the giraffe, snake and tapir. Come on, people! Give us something more convincing.

April fools + leak season =

Wait, I thought those leaks were the least believable ones yet, these ones seems to be a little more believable

This day must end...

It was only sarcasm my friend.

Oh those are totally bogus, Now these are real. Somebody drew them out after seeing them once.

Please those are the bogus ones. They are so typical what people want. A gator, helmet, and gryphon lizard are clearly more real. Let's face it GF wants to shock people and that won't be with what people expect.

I know this is an April Fools joke(of course),but it's very well done.

Wow, well done. Ironically, the only part I didn't like was the "fight gameplay" one. The rest looks awesome!

btw, I was thinking about the Pokemon noises. Did they ever tell us anything regarding this point? Maybe, if they plan to get rid of the 8bit-ish ones (I personally would like both versions), then the Kanto remake is making a lot of sense, since remaking sounds for 150 Pokémon is still easier then 800. But that's just an idea.

Plot Twist-The trailer is real and they're doing it today so we don't know it's real until they tell us like a month later.

The cries were redone for Gen VI if that's what you meant.

Wow Im surprised they even made custom music. Nice touch!
I think i follow the artist on Instagram because I've seen those fakemon and logos before..

Edit: yup, valoo_art on Instagram.

The only thing about that leak I can see being real are the PC's designs.

I've always disliked how cool made videos like this can be completely destroyed by awful headlines.
"HD Pokémon Battles are finally here!" like

seriously.

 

[InfernapeTheWise]

Do you have a source on that?

 

[RileyXY1]

I hope its fake. This is a graphics downgrade.

 

[Grimbad]

I dont want to call it a "downgrade" in graphics before we see a picture that isnt blurry and screencapped a few times.

 

[MissingName]

I think it’s not so difficult to talk about downgrade. Even if I do a blurred photo of my screen while playing FFXV you can say it’s a good graphic. You need only to see the rocks on the left: 5 edges as the USUM one. Low poly. Terrible, and for the switch?? Unacceptable

 

[SushiPushi]

Not directed towards you specifically, but I find it quite disheartening how so many people are judging the entire game on a single image. For all you know, they've added all of the fan service Pokemon fans have ever wanted, and maybe even more. And if this really is a return to Kanto, it cannot be said that the graphics are a downgrade, unless you somehow think that graphics have gotten worse since HeartGold and SoulSilver. In short, there's so much else to judge the game on besides graphics that is ultimately going to make everyone realize that this game/these games are going to be an experience worth having nonetheless, so I doubt that anyone saying that they will "quit the franchise" or "not buy the game(s)" will actually execute their plan; they'll reconsider the second a trailer arrives.

 

[Grimbad]

Would you call the SM stuff run through citra bad graphics? I think thats the quality this game will be. Just a more polished version of what gen 7 was. Anything not cartoony would be weird, since thats what the official art looks like, a cartoon
