Leaks/Rumors Thread

[Arylett Charnoa]

I am very enthusiastic about the leaks I have seen thus far and am quite happy that I pre-ordered the game.

Also, I must say that Sneasler has made quite the turn-around in my mind. At first, I wasn't too fond of it, but my husband's like of it coupled with its hilariously bad name and the fact that it is a ride Pokemon that CARRIES YOU IN A BASKET has made me love it. I won't be getting one for my team [as I plan on going with mostly Ghost-types for my first type theme, due to the Ghost-types in this game knocking it out of the park], but man is it memorable and full of personality to me.

Also, I feel like I may be the only one who likes Enamorus. It has a unique design from the other three genies rather than being a shameless copypaste and though it is really on the nose with the femininity, I like the snake theme and its Therian form in particular. I feel this Pokemon in particular will benefit heavily from Sugimori-style artwork.

Planned out [mostly] Ghost-team thus far: H-Typhlosion, H-Zoroark, Basculegion, Froslass, Mismagius, H-Braviary.* [I just love him so much and I feel he looks ghostly enough to fit the theme. This is why I can't fully commit to a type theme and have decided to make a rule that if I decide to do this again in the future, I am allowed to have ONE Pokemon of a different type, as long as it fits with the aesthetics.]

What a nice team you have planned! It's the kind of team a shaman would have.

Just curious, is this the first time the word die has been said in pokemon? In dialog not pokedex entires or anything. Just curious.

I was thinking that when I screenshotted it. I'm not sure if that's true but I did think it was interesting. I love the emphasis that Hisui is a dangerous place. Meiji Hokkaido is a different time period than Reiwa Hokkaido of course heh

I think it has been mentioned in dex entries, but this is the first time they actually said the world is actually dangerous.

By the way. Please correct me if I'm wrong but...

Seeing who is the villain, did I get it right that Cyrus's ancestor was not evil?

You are right.

It's CYNTHIA'S ancestor who is evil

Apparently you can save in front of a shiny pokemon. If you fail, you reset and the shiny is still there.

 

[Poke Dragon]

So, the Pokedex entries for Dialga's Lord form mention it as Dialga's true form. While Palkia's don't mention the same (more like imitating Arceus), it can be assumed the Lord form for Palkia is also Palkia's true form.

Really? I'm pretty surprised. He seems an ally in the trailers.

 

[LuxrayOfTheWild]

I thought Professor Rowan's ancestor would be the villain. He looks evil for sure.

 

[Poke Dragon]

A bit of an update, Dialga and Palkia's new forms are actually Origin forms, not Lord forms. Which honestly makes it more likely for the new forms to be their original/true forms.

Is there any footage of hisuian goodra?

 

[Articfoxgamez]

I've been reading the datamined Pokdex entries and am a bit confused on if its the protagonist or Leventon writing them. On one hand it talks about a homeland far away, but on the other hand the writer doesnt know what a washing machine is.

Okay it defenintly seems to be Laventon
Some interesting things so far

Spoiler

The Paras Mushrooms have a name now
According to Laventon the unknown look like letters from a foreign land, suggesting someone somewhere in the pokemon world writes in english
And lastly from what i've seen so far... Laventon was the person who named Aura

Lavanton isn’t from Hisui as well, and based on some codex entries it seems he’s from

Spoiler

Galar, which is already referenced by galarian Weezing’s statue in the headquarters

So it fits for him to be from a far away land.

 

[Super-Luke]

How does Stantler evolve into Wyrdeer?

That is awesome! After seeing how quickly Pokemon could just run away, I was a little worried about how shinies were gonna be like in this game. But it seems like having the sound that plays when one pops up, and being able to save after one spawns in will help reduce the shiny fails quite a bit.

 

[badwolf1234]

Apparently to get modern pokemon there is a phenomena like a weather condition that causes a time-space rift bubble randomly it is the only place to get modern pokemon such as magnemite and porygon also the only place to get the other 2 starters would definitely be a hunting ground too

Say that to Lysandre and him clearly being the villain in XY the mere second you see him. And Chairman Rose in Sword and Shield now that i think about it.
