SV Leaks and/or Rumours Thread

[nickdt]

Update from kaka:

• The sushi chef pokémon does not exist.
• Kaka posted a gif of a tarantula. Maybe it's the spider pokémon.
• The rodent pokémon with parental bond starts as a mice couple and then become a mice family.
• The ostrich is pure psychic.
• The eel (Diglett) is pure water.
• The crab is rock type.
• The pepper pokémon is a two-heads kappa.
• The hake fish is dual type.
• The grasshopper evolves once and it's either Bug/Dragon or Bug/Dark.
• The crane is part flying.
• The coin pokémon have different colors (?).
• Tauros forms are all part fighting. One is Fighting/Fire and the other Fighting/Water or Ice.
• Dragapult is apparently in the game.

Jeesshhh.. whats with the Fighting type obsession all of a sudden Gamefreak?

I still hope it's a mistake. I don't see why they made a sigle fighting type Tauros otherwise.

Back then Parental Bond did x1.5. It was nerfed in Gen 7. Not counting that, well, Mega-Kanga had a BST of 590, which is pretty impossible to reach for the mice.

I hope they at least give the mice a good movepool. Also, if the mice have another type, it'll give it an advantage over Kanga

Which leaves either Garchomp or Kommo-o as the psuedo that doesn't make the dex.

Then prefably Garchomp, as it got featured in 2 games already before SV with LA and BDSP.

Pretty sure it means Kommo-o got left out. I thought kaka confirmed Gible at some point.

Which leaves me wondering who the "chicken" is for the last paradox-mon. It's supposedly a psuedo and I thought that Kommo-o fit that description best.

Yeah he did, I (and most others) am guessing its Hydregion because the only Psuedo options left are Dragonite, Garchomp, Hydregion, Goodra, and Dragapult and of those five Hydregion is the most bird like.

I feel like the mice family has the potential to become my favourite regional rodent depending on the design, because the concept sounds really cool.

Hopefully it's not just pure normal type, maybe Normal/Fairy?

I updated the graphic with the latest info:

Spoiler: GEN 9

View attachment 163015

One among the spider and the fish is standalone. Probably the spider.

Has it definitely been confirmed that the frog is Electric/Psychic? I feel like there's been some haziness about whether or not it has the Psychic typing...

The regional mammal has already been confirmed to be Lechonk.

 

[Ghost Diplocaulus]

The regional mammal has already been confirmed to be Lechonk.

I think Lechonk is more along the lines of Lillipup and Wooloo, both of whom appeared alongside actual regional rodents, meaning the mice family (rat king?) could very well be the regional rodent for Paldea.

The term is "regional mammal", not "regional rodent", because the majority of them aren't even real rodents.

Don't be pedantic. You know what I meant.

Something interesting I am now noticing is that, unless I am missing a leak we don't actually have a traditional 3 stage regional bird this gen.
But we have had 2 stage Regional Birds before (Johto and Hoenn) so I wonder if one of the multiple 2 stage birds might count for that.

The flying/electric one, presumably.

Gamefreak be like: Ash hasn't gotten the regional bird in the last 2 generations... so its safe to make it part Electric, since he ain't gonna get it anyways lol.

Update from Kaka:

• The sushi chef came back to life. Maybe it's a catfish.
• One new pokemon is ghost/fairy (the Coin? Or paradox Jigglipuff/Misdreavus?).
• The ostrich is colorful.
• Abra line not in the games. Klefki's in.
• The fire Warrior and Blade may not be part Ghost and Steel.
• The Pepper Kappa is a two stages.
• The spider evolves. (Who's the standalone then? The fish?).

 

[yudgefudge]

This leak method has the potential to be really, really interesting. When the inevitable models begin leaking nearer to release imagine the fun of matching the descriptions we have to models….

By who?

The term is "regional mammal", not "regional rodent", because the majority of them aren't even real rodents.

It’s a fan term, it’s malleable. I remember last Gen some people thought Wooloo was the rodent and they were changing it up but then Skwovet was a thing.

 

[Joker901]

The term is "regional mammal", not "regional rodent", because the majority of them aren't even real rodents.

Actually if the mice are the "regional mammal" of gen 9, more than half of them are rodents: Rattata (1); Bidoof (4); Patrat (5); Skwovet (8); Mice (9).

My gut is on Misdreavus for the ghost/fairy.

I'm really interested in seeing this Ostrich now, I wonder if by colourful it means it might also have a bit of a peacock vibe?

 

[UnownUser]

The confusion about the Sushi Pokemon and "Oyakata" has me wondering if we were interpreting Khu's statements incorrectly this whole time, since he was the originator of the "Oyakata" term to refer to the second half of the duo.

Probably, Khu simply meant that there are two Sushi Pokemon, rather than "Oyakata" being a different, separate entity. If they have some kind of special relationship, my wild theory is that one of them represents the "Fish" part, and the other the "Rice" part, and maybe during their boss fight they combine together to form the complete "Sushi". Or perhaps they each represent different segments of a Dragon Roll Sushi, like the Megamaki from Bugsnax.

 

[AngryBinacle]

I really want more info on the 'oyakata' and sushi Pokémon.

@Joker901 Regarding the spider's evolution; The leakers could have made a minor mistake somewhere. Wouldn't be the first time.
