So, the Reddit leaks...

Not open for further replies.
I don't believe any of this. Stuff like Mega Milotic and Battle Frontier were guessable from the beginning and very likely to be in the game.
 
Don't easily believe leaks guys unless it's CoroCoro. Hey I didn't believe the Smash Bros Final Roster leak at first but hey that was I got. But still speculate guys there usually true sometimes but don't believe them until you see it.

And plus Mega Solrock and Lunatone why those why?
 
Now all we need is Mega Raichu

I want that to happen so badly but I doubt we'll ever get it... especially not in ORAS when they'll want us to focus on Cosplay Pikachu...

Well, we got Spiky-Eared Pichu in Gen. 4 (in the Gen. 2 remakes) and now we have Cosplay Pikachu in Gen. 6 (in the Gen. 3 remakes). So I'm guessing we're not getting Mega Raichu until Gen. 8 (probably in the Sinnoh remakes?). It makes sense.

A lot of that stuff is worded as if it was leaked long ago, though... I don't know if I'd trust that... BUT YAY! MEGA BUTTERFREE! :D Now all we need is Mega Raichu and then we can have a Mega Ketchum Team! :D

...To be beat in the round of 16 :lol:

Nah, Ash has nothing on my skills. I'd kindly beat Tobias to Unova and back. And his Darkrai/Latios team can get burnt. :p
 
And plus Mega Solrock and Lunatone why those why?

Those two are actually decent guesses for the Mega, since the demo deals with the Mossdeep Space Center.

But it is probably unlikely that there will be a Mega Evolution for each version. The Mega will probably be the same in both versions since you apparently fight Team Magma and Team Aqua simultaneously in the demo.
 
He says that this guy:

/vp/ - Pokémon Omega Ruby & Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Insider Leaks

is legit.

He says:

As many of you are aware I believe someone else with information has been hinting and leaking some spoilers for the upcoming games Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire across other websites and forums. Let me start off by saying this person does have ties with the localization team at Nintendo that works closely with GameFreak to insure a worldwide release is possible. I won't comment on the reasons for Europe getting the game a week later than Japan and the Americas as I have no say in that decision. What you've heard so far is true. The Special Demos for the two games are to release this upcoming Wednesday worldwide. A Mega Lunatone and Mega Solrock will be available to obtain and transfer to your full games when they are released in your region.
To clarify, I myself work under the localization team for Nintendo and Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire have been our biggest project since X and Y due to the timeframe. I can confirm the Battle Frontier does make a return with some updates. It's larger and contains a lot more wild Pokémon than before. GameFreak included easy hotspots for training your Pokémon in specific stats for those of you who are more competitive. The Battle Frontier will have multiple terrains; two caves, grass lands, ocean, and a smaller desert to finds hordes of rare Pokémon and easily train your Pokémon. The Battle Frontier is also spread out a lot more and not just one big area. It contains multiple towns, cities, and routes. Think of it as a smaller additional region to explore. There are now eight Frontier facilities and a final facility where you'll be able to face off against previous Champions and Gym Leaders from past generations. That is correct, the World Tournament returns but is only unlockable after you've gotten all eight badges, beaten the Champion at least once, and obtain all eight Frontier Symbols.
Move Tutors make a return. More Mega Stone will also be available to find in the post-game. Some will be spread out across the Hoenn region and other will be found within the Battle Frontier Islands. I know many of you are craving for more spoilers but I won't give away everything. I'll confirm only a handful of new Mega Evolutions.
Mega Pidgeot - Remains Normal/Flying type and gets the ability No Guard. Mega Fearow - Now a Dark/Flying type with a new ability called Destructed that turns Normal type moves into Dark type moves and gives a 30% attack boost to those moves. Mega Beedrill - Remains a Bug/Poison type and gets the ability Adaptability. Mega Butterfree - Becomes a Bug/Psychic type with the ability Levitate. Mega Nidoking - Remains a Poison/Ground type and gains the ability Moxie. Mega Nidoqueen - Remains a Poison/Ground type and gains the ability Regenerator. Mega Jynx - Remains an Ice/Psychic type and gains the ability Simple. Mega Mr. Mime - Remains a Psychic/Fairy type and gains the ability Prankster.
(Emphasis mine)

OK, two things. One, the leaker said he didn't know if the BF was coming back, and two, that bolded part sounds waaaaay too Farfetch'd.
 
It's tiring to hear about "hey this guy has ties to GameFreak/Nintendo"

I don't believe GF/Nintendo to be careless with their products and allow leaks.
 
Adding to Lugiafanatic's discussion about the 4chan leaker.

The 4chan leaker responded with more "Mega Evolutions."

Mega Meganium - Becomes a Grass/Dragon type and gains the ability Regenerator. Mega Typhlosion - Becomes a Fire/Fighting type and gains the ability No Guard. Mega Feraligatr - Remains a Water type and gains the ability Strong Jaw. Mega Slowking - Remains a Water/Psychic type and gains the ability Magic Guard. Mega Donphan - Remains a Ground type and gains the ability Huge Power. I can confirm it's attack stat does not raise when it Mega evolves however it does get boosts to its defensive stats and speed. Mega Dunsparce - Loses it's current typing all together and becomes a Fairy/Ground with the ability Serene Grace. Dunsparce gets the move Play Rough through Move Tutors. Mega Xatu - Remains a Psychic/Flying and gains the ability Magic Bounce. Mega Flygon - Remains a Ground/Dragon type and keeps the ability Levitate. Mega Delcatty - Becomes a Normal/Fairy type and gains the ability Pixilate. Mega Exploud - Remains a Normal type and gains the ability Scrappy. Mega Milotic - Becomes a Water/Fairy type and gains the ability Pixilate. Mega Luxray - Becomes an Electric/Dark type and gains the ability Strong Jaw. Mega Vespiquen - Remains a Bug/Flying type and gains the ability Aerilate. Mega Weavile - Remains an Ice/Dark type and gains the ability Serene Grace. Mega Electivire - Becomes an Electric/Fighting type and keeps the ability Motor Drive. Mega Magmortar - Becomes a Fire/Psychic type and keeps the ability Flame Body.

The bold part is really, really unbelievable. Mega Weavile with Serene Grace? Really?!

Just to emphasize this even more: A Pokemon known to be part EVIL-type in Japanese getting an ability known as HEAVENLY BLESSING in Japanese. I wouldn't trust another post from this guy.

Also the original Reddit leaker responded with more "revelations":

DAY TWO
Safari Zone Updated
Hoopa available, but unsure on Volcanion
Has not heard of a Mega: Reuniclus, Staraptor, Torterra

I hope he's 100% lying, because if my beautiful Typhlosion becomes another disgusting Fire/Fighting, I'll have to sic him on GameFreak... >.<
 
If it's not an official source then it could end up being complete bullshit. But it also might not be. Keyword: might.
 
Mega Meganium - Becomes a Grass/Dragon type and gains the ability Regenerator.
Mega Typhlosion - Becomes a Fire/Fighting type and gains the ability No Guard.
Mega Feraligatr - Remains a Water type and gains the ability Strong Jaw.

None of these typings make sense.

And yes, after the backlash that Emboar got for being Fire/Fighting they'd be stupid to try that again. Also, Grass/Dragon wouldn't be a good idea either because then when Mega Serperior gets it, we'd have three of them too (and Dragon fits Serperior a lot better).

Mega Dunsparce - Loses it's current typing all together and becomes a Fairy/Ground with the ability Serene Grace. Dunsparce gets the move Play Rough through Move Tutors.

LOL no. If Normal is such an unfitting type that they had to give its Mega two completely different types, then they probably should've retconned it in the first place.

Mega Flygon - Remains a Ground/Dragon type and keeps the ability Levitate.

That'd be a letdown.

Mega Delcatty - Becomes a Normal/Fairy type and gains the ability Pixilate.

This just reeks of "give Fairy to everything that looks remotely cute". Is there anything about Delcatty that even makes it Fairy like?

Mega Luxray - Becomes an Electric/Dark type and gains the ability Strong Jaw.

Didn't he say earlier that he didn't know anything about Mega Luxray? I highly doubt he found out about it in such a short period of time.

For that matter, I highly doubt he would get away with leaking 20 Megas so easily.
 
For there to be that many megas...no chance it's real.

This reminds me of NBA free agency when reporters are so desperate for a scoop that they'll report any rumor they hear no matter how obviously bogus it is.
 
This just reeks of "give Fairy to everything that looks remotely cute". Is there anything about Delcatty that even makes it Fairy like?

It's in the Fairy egg group. Also, its Japanese name Enkororo is partially derived from kokoro, or heart, so I wouldn't mind seeing it with a small heart motif. Not that I really support these leaks, just saying.
 
I really hope this leak is fake, half of those megas sound terrible, not because of the design they might have, but because of the typings and abilities (M-Weavile with Serene Grace...)

Also, way too many megas, i'm already starting to feel mega fatigue and this will just go overboard. Leave a bunch of those for Gen 7.
 
TBF, people have been asking him stuff on Reddit.

I don't believe him obv. Just trying to disprove this so we can all move on. >_>

It's a different person than the first one. This one "apparently" is more connected and knows the first one and was able to confirm that they both work for NoA... -.- I call bullshit. But an Electric/Dark M. Luxray with Strong Jaw would be fucking amazing and I think everyone here would agree.
 
I will legitimately cry if my Typhlosion becomes part Fighting type...
Retyping is an obvious fan favorite demand but it's also not something we've seen happen to every single Mega either. It's entirely possible, even likely, that Mega Typhlosion will remain mono-Fire. If they are to grant him a secondary typing, I'd have to imagine it would reflect on his rare status as the only Fire-type starter that can learn Eruption. (And one of only six lineages in the entire history of the franchise to be able to learn it too.) Nothing about him has historically suggested Fighting. And he learns no Fighting-type moves on level up. But he does learn Rollout, a Rock-type move. So as stupid as I think it would be for him to suddenly become Fire/Rock, I'd put more stock in that typing (given the tie-ins with Rollout and volcanoes) than I would Fire/Fighting.
 
All right, the only way we know that this is possibly legit is through this:

OppaWumboStyle comments on
Summary of leaks
Moderator here. This guy seems legit and we should be getting more proof and more info by Monday. Be cautious though since we are not 100% positive of his authenticity yet

and now that same mod is saying this:

Idk what's going on now. We will see monday

And says the proof was a photo.
 
Absolute rubbish. This guy is inconsistent as fuck. All of it is hints and astrological nonsense.

*He says he doesn't know anything at all about broad, broad things and then hints towards specific things like roster changes.
*The stuff he says about game development is also inconsistent. He basically sounds like what someone who doesn't know anything about game development would think it was like.
*He says Nintendo won't care about their leaks which is patently wrong. Anyone who's closely followed a game that has had major leaks knows marketing come down like a falling piano on any leaker.
*He mentions having a friend who works with megas (as if GF would have a 'mega specialist') who is a fan of Milotic. That's totally not going make him easier to find.
*To cap it off, his location is completely inconsistent, first talking about low-level design stuff that would be done in Japan (stat and roster changes) and then talking about NA distributions.

I'll entertain the possibility it is real, of course, but the evidence is strongly against it. Currently I'll take the 'complete horseshit' perspective of these 'leaks'.
