I just realized something. Surf is still in the games despite ride pokemon. Wasn't there a leak that mention HMs are optional in this game?
Or maybe HM's just become TM's? Wasn't Rock Smash an HM then a TM at one point or vice versa?
I just can't imagine them getting rid of the best water type moves in the game, Waterfall and Surf are amazing moves for Physical and Special Water types.

Ride Pokemon do seem to be a thing, but a) we don't know to what extent and b) I doubt they'd just remove the moves entirely. Most of the HM moves are crappy obviously but Surf isn't.

Mainly because Talonflame became Fire/Flying in Gen 6 which in my opinion made people have expectations that this generation will also give the regional bird a new dual typing besides Normal/Flying.

Really? I thought it was something in the official blurb for Pikipek lol. People seemed really hung up on the idea of Steel/Flying Pikipek3 for it to just be baseless wishes. I guess a lot of "leaks" copied each other with this whole Steel/Flying Pikipek3 thing :p

Funny enough a lot of people think Mallow is the only part of that leak that's real.

I have never seen a reasonable person try to deny that the leaked starters are real since Mallow was officially leaked, though? :coffee:

Who, and what kind of people?

...You mean like Wishiwashi using the move Surf in-battle in the latest video?

What, did you expect they'd delete the move from the games just because it's no longer an HM...?

I think the toucan can be grass/flying, given its habitat and fancy natural coloration. It can be an alternative for rowlet line, where they are the offensive, and the toucan line can be defensive.

Yeah plus that 4chan "leak" listed some Alolan Forms which some are deconfirmed from the Riddlers updated form list so it's safe to say most of it is fake the things I find likely from this which might be why the riddler leaker repost this is probably the Z-forms(probably), Jangmo-o(easy guess), uncatchable UB(easy guess) and maybe the Battle Frontier(Anabel pic?).
I think the pre evo thing for the box legends might actually count as true too, considering there is a really slim chance you just predict the UB and wormholes a month early, but everything else may be busted

Regarding HMs: They wouldn't remove the attacks, so they'll probably become TMs. I see them removing everything that is not needed.
- Now, we don't need to surf to travel between islands as we have ships/boats.
- Strength was practically a one time thing in BW, so rocks that a Tauros can destroy will probably be the replacement.
- Cut was the most annoying thing ever, but it does provide a "come back here later" type of deal.. but depending how these Rides work, we won't have access to all of them at the beginning, and Island Travel might be linear until we reach some point.

But none of that matters because this is not the thread for it.. right? :)

Probably fake.. wasn't Mimikyuu found in the cemetery in one of the trailers? The rest is just "sad".

If Aristotle is the UB and marshadow is supposedly mythical, then who is the third legend? "I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS!!!" -perfect zyg..- I mean perfect cell

I feel like Solgaleo and Lunala are Ultrabeast too. And it seems like they're not part of the Alolan Culture. Now that UB01 is in order with the legendaries and Aristotle also the UB02s might be in the same line as them.

> "Since ancient times, Solgaleo has been honored as an emissary of the sun. It is referred to with reverence as 'the beast that devours the sun.'"

> "Since ancient times, Lunala has been honored as an emissary of the moon. It is referred to with reverence as 'the beast that calls the moon.'"

Add to this that we've seen that they appear at a shrine with the game logos (which clearly correspond to them)... I'm going to say that they are definitely a part of Alola's culture.

But what if they are Ultrabeast? I mean they have that look where it feels like they came from somewhere else. maybe they are the first UB's that came to the Main Pokemon Universe.

I don't think they really look like Ultra Beasts at all, but I suppose it can't be ruled out as of yet since we know so little about the Ultra Beasts.

I dunno. Ultra Beasts seem kinda humanoid, and I'm sure there's a reason for that, so maybe they aren't Ultra Beasts. Then again a trailer showed the both of them going through the same wormhole as UBs so maybe they came from the same world as them if they came from another world?

Whoa whoa, let's not get ahead of ourselves here. Scald exists xD

In all seriousness I expect surf and waterfall and maybe Fly as TMs, and i feel like cut and strength may just get the shaft like Dive did in FRLG or Rock Climb and Defog did in BW and not really be widely distributed anymore outside of maybe a BP or Shard move tutor in future gens since there's no real reason to keep them around considering Return is a TM. Good riddance, I say.

That ghost/dragon evolution for Drampa seems like an extremely fan-like idea to me. The whole idea of it "dying" when it evolves has been kicking around for a while now.

Also, they listed Impailmint and Dwarvour twice.

Also Rowlet is confirmed #722 in the national dex, so yeah this is fake.

But yeah, what really tips me off is "Champanzee" which based on placement looks like it's supposed to be Passimian's evo, but Passimian is already huge (6'7") and I highly doubt it will evolve. A pre-evo is more likely.
