Interesting.. so, he sounds like he is not from China himself/herself? Or maybe a dialect (I only kind of know how Japanese works). Anyway, it makes sense if they reveal something to people in London. Maybe in the Pokemon Europe channel (if there is such a thing).. as if we wouldn't notice.
He is from China. But the Chinese in China is quite different from Chinese in Hong Kong.

Sorry for my (implied) skepticism. It's just that...a prediction of news that hasn't officially been announced coming soon was in another leak that was debunked.

Oh, no worries. It's always good to be skeptical, but in this particular case, the Riddler has definitely proven themselves by now.

To be fair, there's people in my city that I can barely understand because they speak Doric rather than pure English, so it could be a similar case.

EDIT: Nevermind :p

The riddler hasn't been wrong about anything yet has he? If we are getting info tomorrow, I do wonder what it could be? Z-forms?

That does make me wonder...Could the Riddler get in trouble over this? I do remember reading somewhere here that leaking is illegal (or something like that, I don't remember it exactly).

Do you remember when somebody leaked the complete Unova Pokedex 3 months before Black and White were released? The person responsible got into deep trouble. Its illegal, because they are employees bound by a contract and dont have permission to share classified information with the public

I get that with Spain's Spanish and Mexican's Spanish.. sometimes they are just weird! The translation of Snorlax' Pulverizing Pancake from Japanese to English was quite drastic! But the word used in Spanish made no sense to me.. and it's my native language!

Anyway, thanks @lavandula/Cresselia for the response!
I wonder if someone else somewhere has tried to translate this as well.

Good Pokémorning! It's 9:25am here in London! 今日から数日間ロンドンにてサン・ムーンの取材を受けます!どんな質問が飛び出すか楽しみです(笑)
Junichi Masuda tweeted that he's being interviewed about Sun Moon in London for a few days.
I'm not sure whether it means "a few days starting from today" or "a few days ending from today".

I think it was ErikNgyuen who first posted it on here.
He said that we are getting the announcement soon, but did not say it was tomorrow.

Didn't they do a sudden reveal of Salandit because a Chinese leak mentioned a Poison/Fire lizard?

I get that, but what I'm wondering about is...does the same apply to Riddler, as he posts his info as riddles, rather than revealing it directly?

I know I may be in the minority on this but I really hope z-forms are not a thing. Mega pokemon, z moves , and pokemon specific z moves are already a bit much imo. A new power up form that functionally (at least for now) seems the same as mega evolution seems redundant as all hell to add to the game and just adds a unneeded level of confusion to the game.

I guess he would get into some trouble.

Salandit's reveal was scheduled.
The leak wasn't being noticed until AFTER Salandit's reveal.
It was translated into English AFTER Salandit's reveal.

Maybe, but nobody knows who he/she is. Might be possible they're doing it from a private server, which gives them a lot more security. But I'm fairly certain the riddler works for Game Freak or is at least connected to them somehow. Maybe an acquintance of an actual employee.

Soon can be anything from one day to a few days. So the 4th can still be seen as soon.

It was three weeks before. And he wasn't fired, as he also leaked the Fairy-type.

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.

Well, maybe the reason why one island is deserted is because of an extinction-level event. Also I read somewhere that the cars we've saw belong to archaeologists, which would make sense if there were a higher amount of fossils.

Maybe he never got caught.

Which could be difficult on a Chinese forum.
He's posting from a fixed username. And that forum requires mobile phone verification.
He could be using proxy/ temporary mobile phone number though.

I remember now. But there was an unscheduled reveal of the Zygarde forms after somebody in Taiwan leaked footage on Youtube.

Is Zygarde Perfect form an Ultra Beast then? Z-forms are trainer and Pokemon synchronizing with perfect bond to become something perfect to complete certain insurmountable obstacles? Type: Null perhaps the failed attempt at a forced sync?? Would justify them being uncatchable, and only certain creatures can achieve said form. It would be easy for GF design wise, as both player characters are set dimensions. Plug in color pallet coding and maybe a few shape changes that automatically are textured onto Pokemon dependant on clothing/accessories equipped. Could give players a truly unique sense of individuality never broached before. Even if not Ultra Beast (although I am almost certain Zygarde Perfect will be one) I feel as though that would be Z-forms. Would shed more light on split wood, giving players far more room to get creative and unique with certain Pokemon guaranteed to be popular.

No Zygarde is the Serpent of Order in the Tree of Life myth. Its also classified as the ''Order Pokemon'' so its not an Ultra Beast
