Leaks/Rumors Discussion Thread

I'll stick with Popps.

Ya'll salty over Litten's evo when it's lowkey the best one.

You do not feel sorry for Litten fans when we got THE Tiger Mask Pokemon.

 

[Solar Snivy]

Well, that puts credibility in that link that Hikamaru posted awhile back: https://m.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/4tokxf/rumor_more_on_that_chinese_rumor_from_some_time/

Things it correctly predicted:
-No Gyms
-Yungoos' evolution is fat and hairy
-There are new forms of old Pokemon which are not Mega Evolutions. It got the wrong typing for ninetails, but still.
-The stone bracelets have nothing to do with Synchro Evolution
-There is a flying type bird whose appearance varies each island

And more things could be revealed.

I'm staying with Rowlet for sure. And I shall name him Hawkeye, without giving two Muks that he's not actually a hawk.

> Not nicknaming Rowlet Green Arrow

Now I'm having trouble on who to pick as my starter, because I love these final evolution designs.

 

[Entermaid]

The question is, now that the final evos of the starters are real, are you either going to - stick with your initial choice, choose a different one, or box the starter altogether?

OF course I will stay with Popplio! Poppmaid is my favorite starter evolution of any generation by a mile! It's my favorite pokemon by a mile...yes even better than my beloved Milotic. No news could have made me happier than confirming the concept art.

With that said, Robbinhoot definitely is at the top of my list of starters...can't say I don't love the design. It's clever and innovative without getting overly clunky with the bow and arrow design.

Favorite Starters
1. Entermaid (Poppmaid)
2. Serperior
3. Samurott
4. Robinhoot
5. Delphox

Favorite Pokemon
1. Entermaid (Poppmaid)
2. Milotic
3. Lilligant
4. Vespiquen
5. Pyroar

So, now I am officially a water-pokemon fanatic since my top two pokemon are both water types.

 

[WingsofBliss]

Oh crap... I hope that means this portion of that Reddit leak is true:

- Looker, Cynthia, Blue, Zinnia, AZ, and Lance all make appearances

One big fantastical story cluster-Muk right there. I love it.

 

[Z25]

I am extremely surprised that so many leaks came true! I am not disappointed though! This batch was really cool and I loved the ideas it brought forth. The starter evos being real is surprising, but as I said, I like them. Litten's is cool, but I'm staying with Rowlett.

I wonder how all of this got leaked though.

> Yungoos' evolution isn't fat, and most pokemon that start off hairy end hairy.
> Huge mistake on Ninetales considering what a big change it is.
> Synchro evolution isn't a thing anyway so this is kind of a moot point.

I'll let the other two points stand though! ;)

So Mallow was the girl in that artwork? Well done for confirming our starters final evolutions, Mallow.

Anyways, with this trailer it appears the no standard Gyms rumor and the starter final evolutions concept art has all been confirmed to be real, and the latter was all thanks to Mallow's appearance. Nice that two of our most talked-about leaks have been revealed legitimate all along.

Now for my starter final evolution preference:
Popplio > Rowlet > Litten

Well now I'm waiting on the teapot Pokemon. Calling it.

To be fair, The XY leaks had small errors like this, while being very accurate. Specifically the starter final evos, were in the wrong order at first and later connected.

Gumshooe seems kind of old, fat and hairy. It depends on how you view fat.

 

[GMeister]

Some leaks saying starters may have 2 different evolution line. There is still some hope for Litten's fan. I sticking with Popplio though.

 

[clbgolden]

Guess both the Bewear leak and starter leaks are real now.

Yayz.

 

[Solar Snivy]

Well now I'm waiting on the teapot Pokemon. Calling it.

Pretty sure that's an actual teapot. Especially since Mallow is said to love cooking,and she is sitting near it.

My friend said this, to which I reply: the teapot Pokemon can be used as a teapot! I'm not crazy!! Mark my words!!!

 

[Entermaid]

This is also proves that Mallow is going to be our new female lead, so R.I.P. Serena (finally I can change this theme after over a year!).

I'm in love with her. She's basically Cheren and Serena combined.

 

[Pinkie-Dawn]

I'm in love with her. She's basically Cheren and Serena combined.

Let's just hope she's at a legal age (it stinks if your favorite female characters are underage).

> Not nicknaming Rowlet Green Arrow

Well, ever since I saw the archer owl concept I'd been planning to name my Rowlet Oliver if it turned out to be real. Lo and behold, Oliver lives.

Some new rumours for those who are interested:

Spoiler:

The anime's Ash-Greninja will appear in the game
Alolan Rattata & Raticate are Dark-type
Alolan Butterfree is Bug/Psychic
Alolan Abra, Kadabra & Alakazam are Fighting-type
Alolan Nidoking & Nidoqueen are Poison/Fighting-type
Alolan Growlithe & Arcanine are Water-type
Alolan Doduo & Dodrio are Fighting/Flying-type
The previous versions of Pokémon which have taken on new forms will only be accessible by bringing in from older games
Furfrou gets new styles
New cat Pokémon varies in type and appearance based on breeding
There is a new snowman Pokémon line with two stages and it is Ice/Ghost
Not to get hopes up, but there may be two final evolutions for each starter

I'd actually be cool with most of those, particularly some of the Kanto Pokemon Alolan forms.

 

[Entermaid]

For anyone who wanted their quadruped fire-cat, you may have another option. With the 2 stage normal-cat pokemon, that can be bred with a fire pokemon and evolve into a fire/normal cat.

Thanks for reposting these. You save me a lot of time ^_^.
I hope the two finals for the starters is real. I theorized such a possibility in one of the threads, forget which one it was. It'll make them very unique {:3}

I hope Gyarados gets an Alolan form. I want it to be Water/Dragon, however I can also see it being Fire/Dragon.
I always thought that Butterfree would've made a great Bug/Psychic.
