I'm calling the leak fake simply because:

View attachment 101172

Come on:p If this is real I'm not touching Pyukumuku with a ten foot pole.

But I'll add the leak to the OP anyway, because at least they tried to do more than just make a wishlist.

Plus, that resembles a certain joke picture appearing in the fan community recently. Can't link cause I'm on mobile, but chances are a bunch of you have seen it already.

Gen 3 remake was on the 3DS and part of gen 6, not the DS. Gen 2 remake was DS though.
Thanks for the heads up! Sorry for the mistake.
To correct:
Gen 1: GB
Gen 2: GBC
Gen 3, gen 1 remake: GBA
gen 4&5, gen 2 remake: DS
gen 6&7, gen 3 remake: 3DS

so i believe the next will be:

Gen 4 remake, gen 8&9: NX

At least we know that Pokemon is slated for NX.

Gen 8 won't come out next year. Why rush Gen 7 and have it only have two games? I doubt Sun and Moon would have every single non-event Pokemon up to that point. Also, a main-series Pokemon game has never been released as a launch title for a console.

Added a summary of the new 4chan leak to the OP (dubbed it the Gummy Leaks, after the user who posted them). Also included some things that weren't in JetBlackFlames' summary:
  • There is no Alolan Arcanine.
  • Milotic gets an Mega Evo (Water/Fairy).
  • At the end of the game you can get Sol Stones and Mun Stones, which allow you to evolve a Pokémon to the opposite version. There's only 6 of them spread around the Alola Region, after you beat the main story.
  • New Fighting types: based on taekwondo, Wheel millipede, Pre-evo of passimian and couple of others.
  • New Ghost/Dark Pokémon: it's a yokai inspired Pokémon. 3 stage evolution line, and is the regional ghost Pokémon.
  • Secret bases return, together with Aarune.
  • The PC's are named Sol and Mun and they don't appear as a rival.
  • Postgame also offers: Pokémon Gyms and Houses.
  • You will get to appoint with Trial Captains and Kahuna’s become Gym Leaders and Elite 4. You can also customize their Pokémon team.
  • Gen 8's story focuses on the clash between the East and West cultures. There are two teams that represents the both sides with them using the opposite legends to try improve themselves. It has two main box legendaries bases on West and East.
  • Gen 8 will have added Dream themes, with Aboriginal’s dreamland. You will be able to go to the dreamland at the end of the story. You will get to see entirely new pokemon-like creatures that you can catch. It will get a separate dex, as a "app" in the dex called Dreamdex.

I actually really like the idea of being able to travel to a dream world and catch dream Pokemon. Could make for some really unusual Pokemon designs.

I don't know how I really feel about that rumour, sounds more like someone chancing their luck. Also even if they do already have plans for the 8th generation, I find it hard to imagine that anyone outside of a select few would know about it. Also don't we already have a wheel millipede in Whirlipede?

Thank you for the summary, did save me a lot of work :D

This. I indeed doubt we're getting another wheel millipede and seriously doubt anyone knows about gen 8 so early. If that's the case, why didn't we ever get any leaks about Gen 7?

And those drawings are fun and all, but most aren't very convincing IMO. Next to that extremely weird attack form of Pyukumuku, there's also Alolan Clefable that looks like a space flying squirrel? That looks way too different from a normal Clefable and so far the Alola forms still quite closely resemble their original form.

Don't quite believe the Sol and Mun Stones part either. GameFreak very probably made Lycanroc's forms version exclusive to motivate people to trade/buy both versions. It would be weird for them to give everyone the option to get the other version's form without trading anyway. Also 6 pieces? We always only get one or two of each evolutionary stone, I very much doubt we're getting 6 of those.

We already had Dream World in Gen V. So what would make this dreamland different besides being available in-game and not on the web?

Again not following that one either sounds pretty fake for hype build up to close release.

Well you just answered your own question: it would be available in-game and not on the web. That's a pretty big difference right there. Also it would have exclusive Pokémon and a seperate section in the Pokédex. So it would be more of an extra area in the game, while the Dream World is just a feature where you can play mini-games and stuff.

Also, we can't access Dream World anymore, so even if it is comparable, it wouldn't be all that weird for it to return.

I thought for a moment that there would another difference. A dreamland would be a wonderland! :)

The PC's are named Sol and Mun and they don't appear as a rival.

Fake simply on the grounds that the protagonist names are definitely going to be more original and distant from the games' title theme than that.

Diamond/Pearl > Light-themed names
HeartGold/SoulSilver > Instrument-themed names
Black/White > Battling-themed names
Black 2/White 2 > Resonance-themed names
X/Y > Peace-themed names

What is a "Mun," anyway? Was "Luna" too obvious?

I never realised most of these. Rosa and Nate blew my mind! These choices are actually pretty cool!

But... Red, Blue and Silver...

Anyway, yes this leak is totally fake.

Simpler times when fewer trends were established. ;)

Although strictly speaking, Silver doesn't have a canonical name in the games. "Silver" is just what people assume to counter Gold, which I think is actually just a fandom-assumed name as well, considering that he in fact has three "primary" default names across the Gen II games (Gold, Silver, and Chris).

Based on what the Chinese Leaks say, we will be building a league, so the thought of appoininting gym leaders and all isn't too out there.

I just want that NX game to be a core series one, I don't want to buy NX just for playing a spinoff....

It's sad to think that there's so many great ideas in so many leaks and they turn out to be false. :/

Since they'd probably go for solar/lunar names, It'd be great if the female PC ends up being named Rey.

The ensuing fanart would be hilarious and awesome. Rowlet BB-8, anyone?
