SV Leaks and/or Rumours Thread

Now, here is the question: At what point do we get the Legendary? Usually, we get it like around the 7th and 8th gyms.

I feel like the trailer may have shown it as early-game. Which is kinda weird

This confirms we have little customization, as we can only buy accessories from shops.

Also, yeah, this legitimizes Kaka as a leaker.

But didn't he say Rotom navigation was removed?

There are some things Kaka said that might be inaccurate or mistranslated, but this certainly did boost Kaka's credibility in a huge way.

Eh. I don't really care. I never really did customization much at all.

I think that might just be for riding it, nothing been said so far on whether we can battle with it.

I agree. I was just wondering and maybe this give us a hint of what kind of stuff he has access to.

I wonder if Khu was mistaken about lechonks evo because cetitan matches his description—white and feminine-ish with pink eyeshadow and eyelashes?

Idk I just don’t see lechonk evolving that way and Cetitan matches his description almost perfectly

How is Cetitan feminine?

 

[Dizzard]

I guess if Champion is now a class of trainer that would explain why Kaka said both male and female when asked about the champion.

Though I'm not sure why he couldn't have just said there was more than one champion....

 

[Sethalopod]

How is Cetitan feminine

Not terribly so which is why I said ish but the pink ring and little stereotypical eyelash wisp gives it a slightly feminine appearance imo

People seem disappointed by the trailer's content, but I feel like there's so much to unpack that I'm not even sure where to start.

The first thing is that I'm pretty sure the official website confirms that there is no gym scaling, at least not in the way we think. There is a line that says this on the website:

You can purposefully seek out a stronger Gym Leader, or you can simply stop by a Gym that happens to be located in a town you came across on your journey.

There is no reason for them to word things in this way if the gym leaders scaled according to your level. "Purposefully seek out a stronger gym leader" sounds to me that some gym leaders are explicitly stronger than others, and this is constant no matter which gym leader you tackle first.

That said, I also noticed something interesting in the later part of the presents, when they were showing off the gym battle with Grusha again, you see his Cetitan's health bar pop up, but it looks different from how the UI usually looks:

Spoiler: Screenshot

Now, it could be that this is just beta footage they forgot to replace, but what if Gym Battles work differently from regular battles? Like maybe all Pokemon are set to a specific level and the "strength" is derived from EV spreads, items, Tera-Type or other field effects? Not sure if that would be better than having proper level scaling, but its something that would make things interesting at least.

I think Kaka mentioned Lechonk has gender differences.

 

[Dizzard]

Is Cetitan meant to be the dolphin Pokemon that was leaked by Kaka?

I'm not really sure if people are going to really accept that mon as a dolphin Pokemon. Especially considered it's species name is terra whale.

 

[multiingbe]

Oh yeah, the gimmick for the fourth time being revealed n August. Daring today, aren't we?

And what a hell of a gimmick. Found it poor, really not a fan.

Only 3 new pokemon, no new cross-gen evo, only 1 gym leader and no difficulty scaling confirmation or disconfirmation.

Yeah, this trailer didn't excite me at all.

i don't understand the video editing style for Pokemon at this point; it feels very scrambled, scrambly. the graphics look the best they have so far, but, also so shiny; there should be an options panel for changing the graphical effects somewhat?? most games on computers have had that for decades: although i don't have a switch yet, did any of the Pokemon games have something like that already??

More than likely, the actual game will be very nice to experience in real time!! but it is so hard to tell with that editing style.

Perhaps this is more likely then, I must have forgotten about that through all the info ‍

Agreed, graphics looked better than the two first trailers. And I get the "shininess" you're referring to, but unfortunately, yeah, no Switch game has any such configuration options.

Yeah, it seems so. Missed it

 

[BeautifulSylveon]

I have a question about it: Do you have to make a choice, or can you choose to go by 2, or even all of them?

 

[Joker901]

May I say this new gimmick looks a bit too complex? Not counting the agony I will feel each time I'll see a pokemon with a chandelier on its head. Crowns and chandeliers, seriously? This choice is so childish, I hardly believe GF decided to actually use it.

 

[Myth]

Regarding the map size, it seems to be closer to PLA maps all combined. For a supposedly 2022 AAA open world game, it's quite small.

At the same time, I don't see the island Kaka was referring to? (I mean, it can't be that little one on the right) So maybe there's that
