I'm curious about the part of the Chinese leak that mentions the formation of a League. It seems, at least on paper, rather unfitting for the Alola region as we know it thus far, and I don't see why that would be the ultimate "goal" of the game. Perhaps the leaker was just misunderstanding something? Or maybe it's more of a sidequest?
I really want to know more about the forming a league thing, too! It's a really intriguing concept. And I think it maybe does seem unfitting for the Alola region, but it can make some sense if you put it in the context of the story for the Japanese trailers with the young boy who just moved to Hawaii- especially that Minior one with all the feels. He's learning his new friends' culture and sharing some of his. Perhaps, as the protagonist who just recently moved to Alola, we travel the region making friends and learning about Alola and then share "our culture" by introducing a pokemon league to the region.
I also want to know, assuming it's legit, what the July 15th 4chan leak meant about Pokémon from the VCs having "pre-Gen 6 typings and stats." It seems pointless and needlessly complicating, and I'd like to have that cleared up.
That does seem ridiculous, yeah, and is one of the things that really makes me question if that leak is really legit, as much as I want the breeder cat to be a thing. I can see giving pre-Gen 6 learnsets, maybe, but it feels wrong to have pre-Gen 6 stats and typings, and once you transfer a pokemon to a newer version I don't even think it should still be following the earlier generation's learnset either. It sounds really horribly complicated and like something that just shouldn't be done.
Oh, and it's not exactly from a leak, per se, but I'd love to know what's up with Eternal Floette. You know, if it were just the model that existed in the coding of XY, then I wouldn't even think twice about it. But the fact that it has heightened stats and its own signature move, which seems like too big of a deal to be left in the beta realm, really has me wondering if they have plans to make it formally available, and if so, then in what context? I don't think it would be an Alola Form, as those are limited to Gen I Pokémon (and it wouldn't explain Eternal Floette's inability to breed, either). I'm not in any way opposed to having another new variant of Pokémon around. I'm just really curious to know what's going on with that one. We have Zygarde's Formes and signature moves, we know that the Strange Souvenir Pokémon will be included, we probably have Ash-Greninja - it seems like Eternal Floette is the only remaining bit with no hint of being included.
Oh man, I forgot about Eternal Floette, that does seem like something of a loose end. That could tie into my thoughts regarding a possible return to Kalos, if there was a plot involving Eternal Floette in some way.
Is there even a combination of 2 egg groups that feature Pokemon that can be male of all 18 types?
At the present time... nnnoooo... one of the reasons I'm hoping for but not holding my breath for the breeder cat. But it is a generation with a bunch of new pokemon being introduced, too, so if there is any hope for it, it'd be because they just introduced either a pokemon that changes type to go with the cat or enough pokemon to fill an egg group (probably field) with every type.
Oh, or it just wasn't meant to be available in every type either. Guess I can't rule that one out.
