Speaking of telephone, I recall when someone on Gaf was bought attention to Lavandula on Smogon talking about the og SM leaks which then make there way over here and eventually lead to this place being hot for awhile.Well, stuff "get lost" when one of the sides isn't being totally honest about.
Whether it is the way the information is passed on to your audience (most of the time not actually telling what really happened, or how you really got that information, leading the audience to consider as truth things that would otherwise be considered as dubious), or the source being a fake and just trying to fool the spokesman by passing on false information to him, or the spokesman adding him own speculations to the real info, or the spokesman being a liar and just pretending to have a source when he doesn't, or others occasions.
The point is that if one of the sides isn't being totally honest about, the information will usually get misrepresented/changed or lost, or simply being fake.
The problem isn't "playing telephone" but the people who are doing it.
Why not just copy+paste things? This is the internet, after all.Playing telephone is a hard job because stuff gets lost eventually.
At least from what I've seen typically these things travel from country to country but usually originated somewhere in Asia so it's not always easy. So what starts as "hey there's this new Pokemon based off of a yeti crab" becomes " there's a new Pokemon based off of a Snowman" once it's all said and done.Why not just copy+paste things?

I always thought the riddler was kinda fun. Putting pieces together to what's what only to be revealed later what those meant. It's like giving stuff away without doing so. Speaking of which, anybody remember those riddles we had earlier this year we believed was a hint to the starters?At least from what I've seen typically these things travel from country to country but usually originated somewhere in Asia so it's not always easy.

I still can't believe how crowded and crazy it got over here but in the best way.I always thought the riddler was kinda fun.

That's like saying Blaziken was used whenever a Fire-type Pokemon was going to get something new and in both cases, they only happened once.
All its lore centers around gratitude... Not anniversaries. The only thing remotely related to anniversaries is the flavour text of the Gracidea: "A flower sometimes bundled in bouquets to convey gratitude on special occasions like birthdays."Lol what? Shaymin's lore revolves around anniversaries.
This is making me question something mostly unrelated. Why do we get Chansey in our birthdays, then?All its lore centers around gratitude... Not anniversaries.

Passimian was the snowman? I always thought it was Crabominable like Desdar3000 said. Gen VII pre-release was weirder than I remember.
we get chansey for our birthdays? I've only seen the DW Togekiss...This is making me question something mostly unrelated. Why do we get Chansey in our birthdays, then?
The snowman probably did refer to Crabominable because the chinese word for Yeti uses the characters for Snow and man meaning that the person meant yeti but it came out as snowman.
I remember a lot of people crying foul because there was no snow man or dolphin Pokemon in Sun and Moon and use that as an example to show that the Chinese Riddler wasn't accurate or something.Sure, it was. But I still preferred the XY pre-release.
Idk if you're just trying to give a theoretical example...Because if you're talking about the "Passimian's leak", it was written "snowman". Probably referring to Crabominable. But there were no errors of interpretation or translation about.
Wasn't the dolphin Tapu Fini in a way?I remember a lot of people crying foul because there was no snow man or dolphin Pokemon in Sun and Moon and use that as an example to show that the Chinese Riddler wasn't accurate or something.
Indeed it is a theoretical example but stuff like that can happen not always but it can.
