Sacrisythe does sound hella cool though.

I'm eh on it but I don't think it's really a great name nor a terrible name... at the very least it isn't Talonflame.Sacrisythe does sound hella cool though.
I mean it would make sense with modern times. Heck even the new pokedex is a smartphone, and the new PSS looks like a social media site. So there is a possibility some social media commentary could be a part of the story, maybe could tie into why Leon's so popular.As much as I like the idea, I hope it doesn't take the place of the Honedge line. Don't see why those wouldn't make the cut given the theme.
Speaking of themes, assuming that rumor is legit, then it's safe to say that the thematic motif of Gen 8 is Sports & Social Media. Considering I'm honestly not too fond of either, I'm not sure if this gen will be in anyway appealing to me. Not knocking on those who do like those things; I suppose it was only inevitable with social media's impact on the world and sports teams many fans.

Actually, I think I've seen the the name "Puffluff" for a Wooloo evo before, so it may not even have that.I think this rumor is suspiciously piggy-backy.

Out of this whole leak, the only entirely new concepts are the name for Wooloo's evolution, the name for a picture-taking app, and a new Pokemon. I know that not everyone knows about things from the Affleck leak, but we've never had a trailer with just Affleck info. Like, last time, even though we got Gigantimaxing, Chairman Rose, etc, we also got Rolycoly, Alcreamie, and Bea and Allister, none of which were mentioned originally. Affleck didn't mention Eldegross, Corviknight, Drednaw, or Cossifleur before the first video, either. So, for the only totally new info to be just two Pokemon, one of which evolves from a confirmed one, seems a little odd. Doesn't mark it as fake, but seems suspicious to me.

Seriously hoping it will be debunked quickly. Either this person just wanted to stir up more drama by pissing off the bring back the national dex crew further, or Game Freak actually thought it was a good idea to introduce a seriously low number of new Pokemon, even by current generation standards.Doubt it'll hold true, either. This one can be quickly disproven, though, if the upcoming bit of news features a name not given by the original leaker.
Then I guess it's fake to begin with.Seriously hoping it will be debunked quickly.

Also worth noting that this rumor doesn't seem to include a baracuda Pokemon.
That's unlikely given how extensively their marketing relies on social media.I would be impressed if the plot could be meaningful commentary on SM without endorsing it,
