We literally got at least one member of the new Pokemon lines in Gen VI

Definitely not Carbink and I'm like 90% sure we saw neither Bergmite nor Avalugg; 70% sure we didn't see the Goomy line.

But yeah, we saw like half of the new pokemon total

Also, that leak seems fake from the very first sentence to me: I'm pretty freaking sure the game comes out on that later day in Europe in general, and not just Great Britain. Source: being an unlucky Nord who always gets everything later :/

Plus, it's stating pretty obvious things, like Pikipek being a three-stage bird.

Can't say I believe any of them, but what the heck I'll wait and see. After all the Bewear leaks came from a thread that was made by a fake poster and they were real right? (The Bewear leaks that is. Not the OG poster lol) Either way I suppose the two that interjected sound reasonable. Nothing too crazy, but also nothing too boring either.

Ha, this Hakuna leak definitely is piggybacking on several other leaks.
Hakuna though. Deliberate?

Type Null is going to be a CoroCoro thing? I assume, the next reveal?

I don't like the Alolan Kingler idea.. rather boring. A Sea Urchin is quite possible.
These are interesting (finally, another "decent" leak) and easy to disprove.

I think the leak is fake, too. But XY's pre-release showed at least 39 of the 72 Pokemon they introduced.

They also gave us every single Mega from ORAS. (I only remember the latter because we datamined the demo and didn't see any new Megas. We were sure they were probably excluded from the demo because we didn't think they'd be dumb enough to blow their whole Mega load before the games came out.)

Hmm, okay, thanks. I'm wrong, but it doesn't surprise me considering how relatively few Pokemon there are in Gen VI, though. I guess the better question might be how many Pokemon they revealed for Gen V before it happened, though I don't think we're getting 150+ new Pokemon either.

Not thinking on this at all definitely fake 4chan loves to make up leaks and lists like these for close trailers to obviously get disproven whether reposted by others or not...

Looking here, we got about 52 for BW, and this page says DP got 30. Aaand S and M has so far netted us 45 new Pokemon, and we can expect to see more on the way before release.

But there's a chance I might have miscounted.

These just feel like people making their guesses for whatever the next trailer will reveal, except under the needless veneer of being "leaks."

Yeah, the most recent Corocoro said that next month's issue would show off Type: Null's true power, or something along those lines.

Oh man, I've been looking for something exactly like this (that shows you what Pokemon we got before the games came out and when) for weeks now. Thank you.

Yeah, but either way the idea of someone with inside info being so disgusted by bad fake leaks that they post real ones just to show the op up is hilarious to me. If either of these are real Ill laugh my ass off! Preferably it would be the "actual reveals" one and the other one is some guy just bullshitting while pretending to do the same schtick. cause for some reason thats even funnier.

It seems fake, but it has an gimmicky concept that I wouldn't be surprised if Pokemon decided to do this.

If the leak that says "Larger, but not by much, amount of brand new Pokémon than last gen." is true, this will be the smallest odd-numbered gen yet (new pokemon wise).

Although that seems to make sense, because we're about 80% of the way from reveal to release, and 80% of the way from reveal to release for xy we had 29 pokemon revealed. 44 (*or 45 if you count cutiefly's unnamed evo) divided by 29 times 69 (number of pokemon xy revealed at release, before the three mythicals) is 104.9 (*107).

Sorry, I'm a nerd.

I've been doing these calculations at least once a week since the beginning of summer. At one point it seemed like we'd get about 120 pokemon, but wow have they slowed down. I was disappointed, but with the alolan forms and new stuff in this gen it's okay.

[Edited for slight errors regarding number of pokemon at release for xy. FORGOT ZYGARDE OH NO]

Larger but not by much is pretty vague though.

The only thing it really tells us is not to expect Kanto/Hoenn/Unova levels of new Pokemon.

Also I'm not sure if the amount of Pokemon announced can be used to predict the amount of new Pokemon total. Since 5th Gen only announced around 50 Pokemon before release and ended up introducing 156 Pokemon.

That's true as well, as I've done these same calculations with bw/dp and it was very inconsistent. Although I feel like xy is more reliable because of international releases, gamefreak's reveal method and marketing is rather unpredictable. I really hope "larger but not by much" means 110+ rather than <90.
