SV Leaks and/or Rumours Thread

[Jimothy]

So charizard supposedly had a gen 9 pokedex icon according to the oridex, but the leaker said it's not in? What?

Depends on how they got their info. If Kaka is a playtester, they wouldn't necessarily know about transfer-only monsters. Maybe Khu's in a position to know that kind of thing.

 

[Mr. MoonStone]

Thanks for checking out the thread. I just updated it with the 5 new pictures (flamingo, jigglypuff, amoongus, and some 4th pokemon and something that looks like Lechonk's evo) as well as filled out the section on their comments, if you want to check that stuff out.

I think I'm caught up now.

Thanks so much! This is super helpful to catch up on leaks after being inactive or away for a few days. I'll check it out right now!

Yeah my best guess is that they are assuming Charizard isn't in because they never encountered them In-Game, so they wouldn't know anything about transfer exclusives.

Looks like this was posted at some point and we missed it. It's supposedly a regional sunflora:

Spoiler: Sunflora

It looks like a sunflora in a pot like can be seen in the 2nd trailer.

No problem. That's exactly what it's there for. I'm happy to hear it's useful.

I’m all for vampire Jigglypuff <3

Oddly though, Charizard is listed on the Kanto line rather than the transfer line in Khu's recent dex icon. So what I'm thinking is that maybe it's a gift distribution or early purchase bonus, and that's why Kaka doesn't know it's natively available? Or they just haven't obtained it for whatever other reason.

Or it's just on the wrong line in Khu's dex, I guess. That's possible.

For some reason this gave me a jolt of realization that if Smoliv's evo is large enough they might call it Swoliv.

omg no I am calling the cops on you for this

 

[LemmaEOF]

Remember the rockruff drawings before we got actual rockruff reveal? Some people drew it as a deer. So cute!

I need to see those rockruff deer drawings omg

I dunno if they'd do a swole joke again after Buzzwole, tbh.

 

[nickdt]

Imagine this

Smolive > Swolive

Lechonk > Lestronk

 

[PinkIceFox]

I am here for this. Yes. Yes please. Do it.

 

[LuxrayOfTheWild]

You gotta go with Leswole for Lechonk's evolution.

If that's true, Scarlet and Violet are now the best games in the franchise.

 

[Rainbow-Rain]

Not surprised that Lechonk's Evo is just a regular Pig

It's literally a Normal type Pokémon and the whole point of Normal Types is that they are the closest to being well.... Normal animals of the Pokémon world lol


Actually now that I think about it, are there ANY Normal Type Pokémon that actually end up being Humanoid/Anthro?

Literally the only one that I can think of atm is Lopunny

Khu saying he never said there was 3 mechanics and that it is a stupid interpretation, while:

litterally saying last week there are 1) the main gimmick 2) the new concept he intended to tease in september and 3) RFake = 3 mechanics/concepts/whatever you call it.

I was OK with difficult riddles or riddles only understandable after official info is released, but confusing people on purpose by saying everything and its opposite...

 

[LuxrayOfTheWild]

So sick of this asshole and I'm so glad we have the new source, who wants to remain as anonymous as possible. When he's as vague and cryptic as he is, its easy to misinterpret him

Does Gumshoos count?

To be fair 3 mechanics is an innacurate way to read it, I wouldnt consider a new type of pokemon (Rfakes) a mechanic

 

[blitzle stan]

Regardless of semantics, there does seem to be 3 concepts at play right?

-Crystal effect on all Pokémon with an unknown battle effect (likely tied to the crystal in the Japanese logo)

-Regional fakes (unknown what this means still… is it like Mimikyu and those aren’t even Jigglypuff or Amoongus? That would be more interesting and definitely make it different from regional variants)

-something else that influences battles in some way, which I assume is what the other leaker called time warping (Pokémon only)

All together, seems like maybe past/future forms may not be a thing. Which is for the best, because last night I just kept thinking about how Sinnohan Sneasel in PLA was literally a future form of Sneasel that you literally had to get from time warps… like how would they make sense of that if they then introduce future forms.

Even if it is not the best term to use, the interpretation made by Centro clarified what they meant. It is just a generic term to englobe all the new concepts.
Then denying "3 mechanics" intead of just clarifying that it is not the best term, it is just confusing from Khu. If this is what he meant.

If I am not missing anything...

Chronologically,

From Khu we knew:

• Gimmick used by most important NPC
• New concept that influence battle, intended for september
• RFakes

"confirmed" being 3 different concepts.

From Kaka we now know:

• Pokemon do "time warp"
• The gimmick is linked to some sort of crystalline form
• There are those strange Jigglypuff/Amoongus forms

However, we don't know if those 3 concepts are separate or linked (except for the two last one which are obviously different forms).

After Kaka leaks, Khu added that now we know 2 Pokemon from the new concept he intended to tease in september.
So presumably Jigglypuff/Amoongus are not RFakes but part of this unknown new concept.

Merging all info would give:

• Main gimmick -> crystal thing
• New concept -> Jigglypuff/Amoongus
• RFakes -> ??

and we yet have to know in which mechanic the time warp is involved (I would say the main gimmick).
