[Legends: Arceus] Who is following the leaks?

[Sheep]

Legends: Arceus has begun leaking online. Are you following any of these leaks, or trying to avoid them to keep things as spoiler-free as possible?

(If you post any leaks, please use the spoiler tag on your post!)

This one particularly made me excited because

Spoiler:

Karen's ancestor with Eevee is a thing!

The above is a spoiler regarding characters in the game - click at your own risk!

I am! There are some interesting things...

I'm sort of keeping up but all I really want to know is if the starters end up getting new evolutions.

I am more interested in the story. There are quite few things that seemed strange to me and that i didn't expect. Hope they won't mess up!

Already screaming over it in our discord channel, but here are the starter evolutions!

Not only that. They are leaking everything but most of them are pretty ugly T T

Yeah some are not that great, but it's also partly because they're motionless ripped models with poor lighting.. I think they'll look better in motion in the game and when their official art comes out. :(

Some more highlights of new Hisuian forms and evolutions (click at your own risk - spoilers!):

Spoiler:

Not really feeling most of these designs tbh. The only ones I like are Liligant, Arcanine, Electrode, Sligoo/Goodra, Samurott and Decidueye (that ronin aesthetic). The new Sneasel and Ursaring evos look alright - I'm curious about their lore and why they're extinct in modern Sinnoh (especially Sneasel?). The Qwilfish evo would be so much better without that pair of gigantic spines imo. Dialga and Palkia are kinda...well those "origin forms" are incredibly ugly imo. There's no thematic link to Giratina's own origin form - I'm wndering if these are actually fusions ala Black/White Kyurem and not actual alternate forms.

Really hoping this is the case for Typhlosion. That's my favourite Johto starter

 

[_confused_piplup_]

Spoiler:

I am so sad because the designs looked so promising and indeed I still like some of them. Like, Arcanine looks kinda good, the starters evolutions are ok. Decidueye is really cool. I HATE the new Dialga and Palkia forms, like the worst pokemon designs I have even seen tbh, It makes me really sad because they're my fav legendaries. I am very disappointed for the lack of a new Arceus form because the game it's about them and because to complete Sinnoh lore, we needed it. Other forms are ok, but I am not really a fan of them. The forms shown in the trailers were soooo good. But these others, I don't really like any of them...
I am truly kinda disappointed...

*raises hand*

Spoiler:

Really, really disappointed with most of the new forms so far. I'll wait on animations before fully judging them but I definitely like most of the originals over these new forms. What is the deal with most of them looking depressed, by the way? Although... H-Typhlosion is kind of amusing to me, since I noticed it looks like Gym Leader Morty. That means, Morty probably modeled his outfit on H-Typhlosion, which is a Ghost-type Pokémon. Pretty sweet detail.

Also disappointed with the time travel shenanigans, even though the Arc Phone was a dead giveaway for it. I was hoping this game would draw closer to the historical fiction genre rather than time travel science fiction. Oh, well - can't have your cake and eat it.

I'm waiting on human character leaks as well. I was super happy to see Karen's ancestor here; I'm not too keen on the Sinnoh ancestors barring possibly Kamado and Ginter, so seeing a familiar friendly face with a familiar fluffy baby got me excited. Also, if she's in, that means... Koga's ancestor must not be too far, whoever they are! I hope we actually get to see them.

Spoiler:

My favourite Pokemon Lilligant is getting an alternate form. I am so happy. The alternate form also explains why regular Lilligant 'hops'. Lilligant and Samurott are my favourite forms.

Spoiler:

I am disappointed for the fact that the main character is the time traveler. In the original Japanese trailer and website there's a scene and it's written that the Arc phone is handed to us, so I was expecting us trying to understand what was that phone and who sent it there. It was the basis for some serious time travel story. It could have been Cynthia or Cyrus, idk. Now, it's kinda disappointing to know it's just our phone in a different way. That said, this doesn't exclude other characters time traveling but idk why they would. I was so excited for new designs because I have never been a fan of regional forms but Galar ones were really good and the ones shown in the trailers were as well. So, I was kinda positive about it. Most of them look like cursed images. I mean, aesthetically I had really positive vibes on this game. I am not talking about the graphics of the game itself, but the style in general, like the clothes, the cover art, the good Hisuian forms that were shown and so on. Can't accept they ruined my fav legendaries...
According to another leak Volo is going to have Giratina on their team at the end of the story. I would be disappointed if they didn't let us catch them after that tbh.

Spoiler:

Well... I'm meh on the whole time travel aspect itself. I'm way more excited to know whose ancestors beside those of the Sinnoh characters turn up in this, now that they've shown Karen's ancestor. (Ironically, my favourite of the ancestors before they showed Sanqua was Lian - the possible ancestor of a Unova character.) And I agree - I think "cursed" perfectly describes some of these variants. I even described Hisuian Lilligant as such in my mind - I mean, she looks like one of those images of "naked" Pokémon with no fur, feathers or hair anywhere!

As for Volo... Oh, sweet Jesus, no. Something is REALLY wrong with the entire lineage. Their connection to the Legendaries, the extremely powerful Pokémon, the stalking and turning up exactly where they can meet you... *shivers*

I like most of the forms, the big ones are ugly though. No clue how to use spoiler tags on here so left out any specifics.

On the editor, when u write something, it's the last option on the banner above. it's the eye with an oblique line. Hope this helps :)

 

[_confused_piplup_]

Spoiler:

btw, the ore I look at them, the more I am getting used to it. Maybe it's because the whole aesthetic and environment is totally different from usual pokemon games, so we're not used to this "new kind of pokemon designs". I mean, idk. They still look bad but the seem more of "weird" now, rather than Nature disaster lol

 

[Maserati777]

Spoiler:

The ones I don't like specifically are the legendaries. And the starters look too similar to the normal ones. Other then those I don't dislike the non legendaries. I haven't seen the Qwilfish line yet.
