Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

Smash was also the first to reveal Pansage prior to BW too... yeah, that's not so relevant to XY's promotion, but they do, on occasion, reveal some things first.

To be fair, there was that merchandise leak of Pansage.

They also reveal smaller things too. Like for example, they basically revealed that Octillery (as well as a few other mons over time) will be available in XY. They revealed the 8-direction walking. They first showed Surfing and Fishing for XY. I'm sure there are a few other things for XY, but those are the ones I can think of.

I think CoroCoro revealed the 8-direction walking.

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

There was only an unclear pic showing the hero walking diagonally (It wasn't fully confirmed). However in the Smash, we saw a sequence which was really showing the hero walking diagonally.

Did the leak give us its official art or its name or its ability or its type, etc? Nope. All we had was a little crappy figure; hardly what I'd call a reveal.

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

It still revealed something. Smash might not be a very detailed news source, but it isn't the total black hole of new information we (jokingly) make it out to be.

And for awhile, I believe we thought its name was "Brocco", or some alteration of "broccoli", because that name was found trademarked or something around the same time. Most people thought it was some kind of satyr too.

I think the Kibago toy that was floating around was known as "Namakusu" because of a popular rumor.

You're right that it didn't, but point was, Smash wasn't exactly the first to have revealed Pansage. Had that leak not come out at all, it would have been.

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

Leaks don't count as "reveal" to me, so I think Smash was in fact the first to reveal Pansage back in 2010.

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

Someone on /vp/ posted this. I'm skeptical but I can't notice any symptoms immediately indicating a fake except that it's blurry to possibly hide flaws.

Looking at these pics, it's highly unlikely someone would have managed to get a copy of the game, it definitely looks photo-shopped to me, but even then, it would be nice to have available accessories from older game characters.

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

^Where'd they get that from?

Ah, nvm:

Hello all, I'll start this and end this off quick. I work at Nintendo of Europe [emphasis mine], and it's we've been testing a Pokemon X & Y demo that will playable at a Pokemon Day in Germany, and a tour in the UK.

As I know I could potentially lose my job, and posting on 4chan doesn't make the idea any less more stupid, me and some of my co-workers are deciding to post screenshots of what we've been playing around with the most. The most I'll post is three, one showing off the landscape, one showing off some in-game features, and another random one we come up with.

The first one is of the Player Search System, just to get a quick view of how it's all looking so far. All images are blurred to prevent editing and make the chances of us getting caught slimmer.
They never learn, do they?

Well, we can always compare it against the official images:

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

Fake. It's a good edit though, but the PSS layout is rather simplistic that with a decent amount of time and skill someone could easily create completely new avatars and edit them in.

The dude posted the super-clear version, so even more proof it's fake since that means he didn't get it from the game, rather he made it in an outside program, uploaded it to the 3DS, then took a snapshot so it'd appear in 3DS quality.

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

Now we have this from the same guy:

Have we seen Scizor before? Because I don't recall ever seeing it. If this is fake this is certainly one of the better fakes I've seen.

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

Okay, now I'm having second thoughts...

However, so far we've gotten edits to pre-existing screenshots that aren't above the realm of possibility. I just think someone put more effort in this. I'd like to see something showing us a new background area first.

I am hoping those pictures are real. I'd love to dress my character as Lyra.

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

Probably just one of the better fakes. Hard to believe some random guy on /vp/ claiming he's a Nintendo employee (lol)

Likely just pasted in 3d models from something else, like the 3D Pokedex or something. Not that hard really.

EDIT: Wasn't new

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

That PSS thing feels fake, and the fact that the person posted a clean version of it implies that so is the case. But damn, I so want it to be real. If I could dress myself as Dawn I'd cheer with joy.
