Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

Well I'd like to think that some of that info is true, especially the part about Chespin being Grass/Rock, which is a pretty great typing and much better than Grass/Dark.

Same guy posted more. At least apparently that'll be the last we hear from him.

I am wanting Velociraptor and Peacock-based Pokémon since always and I'd love Grant to be a hard Gym Leader, but unfortunately I can't bring myself to believe a single word this "IAMTHELEAKER" person says.

I don't really believe any of IAMTHELEAKER's info. Too much catering to fans and absolutely zero proof of legitimacy.

Grass/Rock or Grass/Steel would go perfect for Chespin. I don't see him as a Dark-type Pokemon, but with the armor Rock and Steel seem very likely.

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

After considering what the Chespin evolutions' types would be, I guess that it would be Grass/Rock or Grass/Ground. I'm a bit unsure about the legitimacy of the rest of the rumors because a lot of them were verified.

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

HEY!! EVERYONE, EVERYONE!!
I was over on 4chan, and the latest rumors flying around come from the Twitter of a guy named 'Hiro', and they say that the Pseudo-legendary line this generation are based on snails, with a heavy emphasis on defence! Is this BS, or could it be even slightlyyyyyyyyy true?

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

It's not the pseudo legendaries, it's the legendary trio. The guy doesn't know what he's talking about so he combined the two terms. A group of bug legendaries would be fun, better than just some more dragons or something. Not that I believe it.

He's also saying there's a new entry hazard that's basically an entry leech seed. blergh.

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

Now that I think about it, that rumor about Mewtwo is very similar to Deoxys. That makes me believe it even less, especially since the new Mewtwo form that we know was featured in a movie before the games were released and they created hype for that form.

...which doesn't change what I said. If you missed it, I'll repeat: Deoxys-S was released around the same time as M07 aired back in '04. The fact that the formes featured in M07 were available in already-released games while the new Mewtwo forme is not is completely irrelevant to the equation.

And again, it would be awfully strange if it were made up given that every piece of information given by MageLeif thus far has turned out to be true.

The problem is, though, that the Pokebeach rumors/leaks have been pretty darn accurate so far and nothing has been completely disproven (pretty sure?). Those leaks said Chespin was going to become Grass/Dark. I do hope very much that Chespin becomes Grass/Rock or Grass/Steel (Rock is more likely though, imo), but at this point who knows? But yes, Grass/Rock or Grass/Steel would be fantastic and amazing typings for Chespin, especially if given decent-good stats. But Grass/Dark seems the most likely at this point :(

It actually would make sense for some of the information to be fabricated so that he wouldn't be caught.

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

Some of the later rumours released are admitted to be fake as GF apparently found out who it was and wanted to discredit the leaker, however all evidence points to the fact that the first couple of leaks are accurate. We'll have to wait and see

Well a lot of the rumors from WPM (PokeBeach X/Y Rumor Roundup and Clarifications (June 15th, 2013) « Games News « PokéBeach) have been confirmed and accuracy so far has been pretty spot on. These rumors state that Chespin's evo will be Grass/Dark. I do hope that this was a piece of false info, but it seems pretty likely at this point. But Grass/Rock would be good. I'm guessing that the rest of the rumors are going to be true, including the starter evo types, but maybe if we're lucky, those leaks were carefully sprinkled with false info as well as true.

EDIT: Also, I believe that the evo types were in the early batch which is supposedly all true. :/

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

If I recall the description correctly, WPM had only chosen to reveal a few things at a time, and had loosed* the rest only after the source was shut off. Had that not happened, we wouldn't have a huge bunch of rumors with numerous parts being proven all correct by official reveals.

Re: Rumour Discussion and Speculation

The secondary Psychic/Fighting/Dark type triangle just feels too much like catering to fans, since it's something that has been speculated about since pretty much the beginning of time. I just can't get that feeling out of my head..

However, since most (if not all?) of the Pokebeach rumors have been true I guess we're "finally" getting that triangle. Personally, I hope not because I want Chespin to be either part Rock, Ground or Steel. I WANT TO BELIEVE.
