No kidding, If you read what I said, I'm saying it could be possible that it isn't 100% accurate as later detailed emerged that disproved the e4 hypothesis

Yeah I misread that bit, but in that case, I still wouldn't write the Chinese leak down to being simply "good guesses." Some of it could have been easy independently, but there's just too much stuff in there (specifically the list of new Pokémon) that couldn't have been guessed all at once by coincidence.

The part about building a League, and about "almost any" Pokémon being able to be ridden do stick out, but as you say, it could have been somebody who left early in development, or didn't have the full picture. After all, PokéBeach's XY leak got quite a few details wrong as well, but that one was definitely legitimate. I'm not sure that the person responsible for the Chinese leak is the same person who leaked the pictures, though - does anybody know more on that?

Funnily enough, way back in the early days in this thread, I mentioned anything with Ash-Greninja in it is suspicious. We haven't seen anything about it since then.

Ash-Greninja has been mentioned in numerous leaks, though, including the Chinese leak... am I misreading again?

Not saying it's a cast-iron fact, just my speculation based on real-world facts. And like others said, no they don't always use the real-world location to the letter, but they certainly use it to influence designs.

I'd be very disappointed if they didn't have fossil pokemon this generation.

I don't think they've revealed them yet because there are so many other pokemon to show. Like for last gen there were so few, they revealed their basic stages pretty early on. I'm glad they're keeping them under wraps for now.

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

Did anyone screenshot it?

I'm curious what was said... The thread got removed. s:

It's not removed though, but here it is

Screenshot this.

Some Pokemon that evolve with Moon and Sun stones are getting split evolutions. Where they take the opposite stone to evolve.

Not Split Forms, Split Evolutions.

Pokemon getting Opposite Stone Evos: Nidorina, Nidorino, JigglyPuff, and Delcatty which will get a new evolution with the Sun Stone. Sunkern, Cottonee, Petilil, and Helioptile will get a new evolution with the Moon Stone.

Nido's are NOT getting Alolan Forms, they are getting Sun Stone evolutions.

Probably fake, but a little bit of it seems a little plausible

Why do these "leakers" always have to be terrible at grammar? I'd understand foreign ones, but nothing about this suggests anything else but an English-speaking user.

Also, you know, if I was a legit leaker, I'd give actual descriptions to things. Note how this guy just says "yep, and they're Sun exclusive" and says nothing about the Moon starters. At least try to give out some creative ideas, geez.

Oh, huh. Whoops, but either way, thanks.

While I don't really believe it... "Alola forms" for items, as one of the anons suggested, is possible. Other than that, I can't see this happening.

Only thing creative about his leak was the drawings.

The inside info leak @GojiWright posted about.
Here you go, making your lives easier. Took 15-20mins for all this. Tried as much as possible.

Crabrawler

If I can remember, It's stats are mostly focused on physical.

Chinese leak and starter evos
It's real, unfortunately. And is exclusive to Sun.

what kind of launch titles will the NX have
what's the SM post game like
are there a lot of "special" pokemon (starters, eevee, porygon) given as gifts in SM

It's postgame will feature Battle Froniter, and will include some of gen 4 and 3's battle frontier hosts and is set in a faraway island.
Erm, I think it's only Starters. And a egg that contains a entirely new pokemon, that's similar to Togepi.

Gen 8?
I'll give you a hint, it's set in the south of the globe.

Pokemon game being developed for NX?
A port of Sun and Moon.
It won't be revealed until NX is announced. It will feature updated graphics and different UI suited for one screen.

Moon formes for starter evos?
http://i.********/vp/1474873594307.png

M Rowlet is a wizard
M Popplio is a beast
M Litten seems to look like some sort a villainous beast

Type:Null?
No one knows about Type: Null, and it's dex mentions about it being created by a person from a faraway land.

Alola forms and what about dodrio and nido?
Yes, and there is at least 50 alolan forms in SM

Salandit evo
Looks like a fancy thief, and is capable of using fumes as it's attacks. It's dex mentions about it's fumes being used as it's own species perfumes.
http://i.********/vp/1474877445925.png

Alola Clefabe is there
http://i.********/vp/1474865008814.png

Megas?
20 new meags. Includes gen6 and this gen's starters

Passimian stats?Fossils?infamous toucan?
It has better stats than Oraguru, due to Oraguru's OP ability.
About the fossils,
A bacteria fossil that is believed to be the oldest organism
Plant fossil that is based off the ferns
Saber tiger
frilled dinosaur, forgot it's name.
Yes

Gen 8?
I haven't seen gen 8, aside from concepts of new pokemon and scenery drawings.
I assume that it'll have better graphics, since that it's on new gen console/handheld.

Other alola forms?
Sure,
Venusaur
Colyster
Jynx

Megas post-game?
I said it before, and they are only locked until postgame. They have thier own sub-quest similar ORAS.

Can't catch ultra beasts

Jynx mega evo?
Yes


Perfect zygarde stats
I believe it's high in Sp Atack and Defense and low in Ph Attack and Defense, and is decent in speed

Mimikyu stats, 8 gen starters and legends
High in Sp defense and Speed, average in every else.
There will be 2 sets of starters, based on the version you pick.
Western Zodaic starters
Bull, Chimera, Ram
Eastern Zodaic starters
Horse, Rabbit, Dragon
Legends are based on compass directions, North, South, West, and East

Any new species?
Toy Robot
Coral
Gemstone
High Soarer

Drampa has 2 pre-evos

Charizard,Blastoise,Gen4 starters get z moves

145 new pokemon

UBs?
bosses, and I said it before. UBs may not be catchable, and the story mentions of that they are too powerful to be contained in regular pokeballs.
They come from various planets in far away galaxies. Due to a rift in spacetime, they got sucked into it. Due to their unique biological makeup that's drastically different to Pokemon's biological makeup, they have been researched heavily by Aether Foundation.


Pyukumuku stats

High in both defense and Attack. low for every else.
Has a single evolution.

Starters evos
They are named as
http://i.********/vp/1474867816240.png

Rotalon
Blaline
Enteeal

Z-forms
Basically functions like a Mega evolution, but only for a few turns. There will be a cooldown after that

Wigglytuff It will get a Z move and a alola form, due to it being counterpart of Clefable
http://i.********/vp/1474871151306.png

starter types in S and M
Rowlet
S Grass/flying
M Grass/Psychic

Popplio
S Water/Fairy
M Water/Fighting

Litten
S Fire/Dark
M Fire/Poison

Ash-greninja event mon

Jangmo-o final evo
Kishiraco
Dragon/Steel
It's mostly based off Knights and Japanese Warriors

Marshadow
electric dark

aether foundations
They're actually bad guys who hide under a good appearance. They research pokemon to create the pokemon for war in summary. I won't reveal the small details because it's very exciting and really interesting. Lots of lore in there.
All of them are battle-able

Pyukumu attack form?part fighting?
Nope, it's a form that lasts for 1 turn
And yes, it's Water/Fighting. And correct, it's meant to unnerve enemies as like real sea cucumbers do when being attacked.

Trial caps - 1 for each type

That possible Pokedex is awesome, thanks for your great work. My only really strong rebuttal to any of your points is that Hawaii is relatively new, geologically speaking - it's five million years old - so it has very few fossils and therefore I'm not expecting Alola to have fossil Pokemon.

Except the last four generations have introduced two fossil lines each. It's a pretty solid trend at this point.

So I think it's far more reasonable to include fossil Pokemon in a prediction than to not include them basing it on that.

Seeing how these generations are getting quicker (3 year intervals now), it's ridiculous to think that the next Pokémon games aren't at least in their very early concept stage. However, it's probably much too early for leaks due to how under wraps the product would be at this point.

How can Gen 8 be too soon when Gen 7 was foreshadowed at the beginning of Gen 6? Gen 8 could follow the same path.

Yes, but games don't typically leak until they're either revealed or near reveal seeing as that's when PR and trailer editing (read as: our main source of leaks) start to become involved. It's hard to believe that a game would leak three years-ish in advance.

Yeah, only the most diehard of fans would believe in something so unbelievable.

If the leak is true, why didn't they save Komala for Gen 8 then since it could be based on Australia where koalas come from?
