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

[Adelon]

People keep answering this seriously but I've been assuming that this statement was a joke. XD

...it was a joke, right? Because we know for fact that the games are releasing this year.

This thread has totally killed people's ability to detect humor, I swear- myself included.

Yes it was a joke lmao

=D Heeeeeey guys, for those of you who wanted some image leaks, I found this pretty good one-

fav.me

Figure that might help get some folks get through the week. XD

Can somebody recommend that person to Game Freak, please?

 

[Velvet]

It's really cute!

 

[PinkIceFox]

Just uploaded on thier main channel, a tour video for Kanto

Likley tommorow, they'll do one for Johto, then Hoenn, etc. which lines up perfectly with ending right before Pokemon Day.

Semi-off topic: Too bad we didn’t get Kantonian rice balls jelly donuts instead of those Pewter Pebbles for the regional culinary dish.

On-topic: does the Pokémon channel update on the weekends too, or is it only on the weekdays? Could potentially mean we’re looking at a later reveal.

They also tag the post with Kanto #PokemonDay. This is a countdown. This is happening. Get excited.

We had plenty of countdowns last year. Like one every two weeks. Sadly this proves nothing for sure.

I'm in half hype mode now
I will reach 9 hype mode when the pokemon direct is announced
10 hype mode when the direct starts

Same, mostly because most countdowns meant nothing last year.

So, I know everyone is talking about England being the next region, but there is there any chance at all that it could be Spain?

Nothing's set in stone yet. We know absolutely nothing about these games and there are no credible leakers.

Last year was also nothing. This year is gen 8. This year is different.

There are credible leakers, but they didn't say anything about the games, only that news is coming soon

After wottergate and wottergate 2: tiger, owl, and seal edition. I wonder if they're trying to stop that from happening this time. Maybe they finally found out who kept doing that and supplying the leakers with inside knowledge and that's why we don't have any credible leaks anymore.

Also has anyone seriously checked the domain names yet?

This is supposedly the site the sun/moon trademarks were originally found on. There's nothing new there yet. Not sure about domains specifically.

Also a random person bought pokemonkingqueen.com and pokemonkingandqueen.com so don't get excited if you see those.

It appears pokemonkingandqueen is also registered if you look it up

I just want to know who the Water starter is, to keep with my trend of always using them (except in XD, but that was because I find Psychic Pokémon more interesting).

I'm the same with the fire starter! Hope that it’s more natural than Incineroar. I grew to tolerate it but it sometimes becomes too off putting.

If it helps any-

Piuk was better at BS too, so he’s not the King of BS.

You know, people talking about a place's possibility doesn’t make it any more or less likely.

I do wonder if they're building up to the reveal of the Gen VIII games, and its region. The announcement has to be around the corner if its anything like the past two generations that have also released in the 2nd half of the year.
