SV Leaks and/or Rumours Thread

[Emmy]

Imagine if the Ice Type Gym was in a frikkin volcano.

Reminds me of how it felt kinda odd that Gordie the Rock Type Gym Leader was in the snowy town of Circhester.

I read they don't scale at all.

Spoiler: Gyms

There's no source to this rumor at all beyond invoking a name, and despite what some people seem to think, Game Freak does actually know how to design games. My money's still on multiple preset teams without algorithmic scaling.

Apperently at some point they talked about a pokemon with a hammer and Khu is adding onto it.
Is Pokemon finally doing the best jrpg concept? small child with a massive weapon?

small child with massive weapon is genuinely the best trope out there tbh, it's just incredible (shoutouts to anyone who plays a lallafel dark knight in FFXIV)

Guess who's back again!!? This time I actually skimmed the leaks, and WOW!!! THIS IS SO COOL OMG

and uhmmmm, nonbinary champion??? (it won't happen but it'd be cool lol, probably the champion is decided by the game version!)

Hello again, I'll try to be more active here more!!!

When the new leaker was asked about if the Champion was male or female, their response "Yes and no." Could it be that they're version exclusives? Male in one game and female in the other? Or is Pokemon finally ready to give some representation to nonbinary people?

GL having 8 teams for any badge count is the best solution for that but for the trainers outside the towns I doubt them to make 8 different teams for hundred of trainers. In that case I guess they program it that way whenever you're getting another badge, the levels increase for lets say 5 levels and whenever a Pokemon learns a move or exceeds the evolution level, they learn the respective move/evolve. Easy to program and I expect just that. They already did scaling in the Wild Area so come on.

I hope fuecoco evolves into something related to demons or something.

This Champion thing reminds me that Khu also teased the Champion with "456".
Many people suggested it meant Gens, hence the champion being female. Either that is not it, or Khu made a riddle that is only half the info.
I was among team goroawase and someone found Yogoru, meaning to get dirty (Ground specialist?) or to be corrupted (evil Champion?).

Yeah I'm leaning towards "wait and see" mode for the no level scaling thing with gyms. On one hand, it would be a classic gamefreak move to do something like let the player tackle gyms in any order they want via open world but leave gyms at static levels, but there's so many other factors here (eg we dont know what build the leaker is playing or how close it is to the release build, english not being their native language, etc)

If there isn't scaling, like, I wouldn't be surprised, but I wouldn't say it's something to worry about yet.

 

[NinjutsuSen]

Actually have an idea about how the game is setting up the gym leaders.

Remember that you have 3 quests to complete before finishing the game?

First quest is the school quest with the exams, tests etc. but mixed with the GL in a unique way that maybe they're the professors for each subject (also remember Khus leak about them having "occupations"?) and they're testing you in their gyms but in the first quests group you have something like a trial plus maybe Totem Pokemon. After all 8 tests, you graduate to a trainer allowed for the gym challenge.

Second quest is the badge quest as usual with the GL using their real team. Since you already traveled through the most of the region, them all having a similiar level wouldn't be a problem since leveling in higher levels is a lot slower.

Third phase story final and E4+champion.

50% school phase, 30% GL phase, 20% end phase. In that way you enter your first gym in the late 30s, maybe 40s when leveling gets a lot slower so they can set the GL teams with max 10 levels difference.

Thinking about that, it also would fit the meaning of the regions name about graduating, professions and knowledge so much.

Nonbinary champion would be AWESOME but I don't think gamefreak will go for that quite yet. Probably version exclusive champions.


I think someday pokemon will get good LGBT representation in the games, but probably not for a few years.

 

[Myth]

Anything from Kaka is true because Khu verified them, and at this point, Khu has worked to build up such a reputation and following as a true insider that there’s no way they would risk that reputation by verifying someone that was not correct,

Sure and I'm still looking for the SwSh hint n LGPE texts. Or waiting for the Legends DLC.

I mean, sure, chinese riddler has gotten a lot right at this point, but he also have gotten wrong in the past. Of course, he has a higher reputation than Kaka, but he's not 100% accurate either and already prove to be playing around with information just to get people attention when there really wasn't any information to leak.

Ironically...because Khu has confirmed it.

Eh?! Each to their own, I guess.

 

[RileyXY1]

I think that the Gyms will basically be Noble fights this time around.

Daybreak was the Legends DLC. Not sure what you mean by SwSh hint in LGPE.

 

[multiingbe]

Some ideas that may or may not be in the new games:

Pokemon telling haiku and any other styles of poems to eachother,
playing ancient and modern unique Pokemon games either just Pokemon or Pokemon and people!!!!

Pokemon being able to create their own visual art
and musical art somehow, that could be shared in many ways!!

i just think they are interesting phenomena that would make sense, some day!! What would Pokemons' poems and haiku be like,
and again of course their music and visual art!?!

Khu isn’t the Chinese Riddler of the past. Skepticism is fine, just please don’t use wrong info to try and say that someone has… wrong info… thanks.

Daybreak wasn't a DLC nor released in April.

Spoiler

I also would like to affirm he kept implying we would have a DLC even after we've received Daybreak, but honestly I'm really not sure on this one nor willing to go after that information myself.

About the LGPE thing, iirc was something said on some chinese social media.

Khu isn’t the Chinese Riddler of the past. Skepticism is fine, just please don’t use wrong info to try and say that someone has… wrong info… thanks.

How do you know it's wrong?
I have my reasons to believe that at the very least they are connected in some way. But if you say otherwise, I can believe you, that is if you give me a source to back it up.

Daybreak is a DLC, it's free DLC. And he didn't know at that point when Daybreak was going to be released, he just knew it'd be by April at the latest. Otherwise, he described exactly what we got.

Khu and the Chinese Riddler have both denied being the same person, so it doesn't make sense to assume.

 

[TheElderKing]

What do you mean by that? A single Pokémon for her leader?

 

[Pulsaro23]

Sure and I'm still looking for the SwSh hint n LGPE texts. Or waiting for the Legends DLC.

He wasn't around when Let's Go and SWSH were being worked on/advertised (likely because he didn't have a source feeding him info at the time) and the Daybreaker update or whatever it's name was is the Legends "DLC" (with people blowing his SWSH comparison out of proportion, thanks in small part to Centro misinterpreting it).

And I'd like to preface that for the past months I started to find Khu more and more annoying (with certain tweets from around a week ago pushing him into despicable territory), and even I find this to be extremely unfair. Dislike the guy all you want, but you can't deny that he is 100% legit. Everything he said about Legends turned out to be true, even if his hints didn't make a lot of sense at the time, and everything he's been saying about SV has been turning out to be correct as well, semantics and poor communication aside. In fact, Kaka's leaks validate Khu's riddles and hints, just as much as Khu's word validates Kaka's legitimacy. He definitely knows things and he's definitely leaking legit stuff, even if he may have trouble putting it into words or explaining himself and his leaks (which I'd that it should be excusable, with English not being his first language and what not). That he's also petty and vulgar and overall unpleasant... well, that's a whole other can of worms, and I ain't about to open it this late in the night.

Oh I don’t have to provide you with anything. A quick look above shows you were the one that came in here saying that I was wrong in my post and making accusations with no sources. Not me.

Anyone can believe whatever they want because it’s not that serious, but please don’t make me into the one needing to prove something.

Allow me to add a third option: the Champion is a Ditto.
