Its not surprising. Honestly its more troublesome trying to avoid the leaks running around than not. Ive seen some major spoilers already regarding story and the starters, but for the sake of keeping spoilers hidden, Im keeping my opinion of what Ive seen to myself.
What I will say however regarding the leaked info is that personally it hasnt lessened my enjoyment of what's to come. I don't mind seeing that info when it comes my way, although now I am trying to hold off from researching any news about the game until the 18th. I can sympathize with those that are trying hard not to look at any leaks and are getting upset. Not alot of people are making a conscientious effort keeping leaked info under spoiler tags, whether its videos or fanart. |

Amiright? I think people don't know the thrill of discovery these days. |
Personally, I don't mind having the leaks unveiled since I can be prepared to put some good teams while I'm at it. However, I'm also concerned with some who don't want to see the leaks no matter what, since leaks are not meant for everyone, especially those who wanted a fresh start without something spilling the beans. Not to mention that avoiding spoilers is kinda hard if it comes to high-acclaimed games like Pokémon.
So... if you don't mind spoilers, it's okay as long as you don't ruin the surprise for everyone else (or put it on spoiler corner so others who wanted a fresh start can avoid it). And if you don't want to see spoilers, do your best to avoid it until the release date, mmkay? |
for me I am fine with leaks of pokemon/moves/Stats etc... I TRY to avoid story related stuff much as possible.

Tbh, despite the spam, I even have to dig in hard enough for my lazy self to find out more. How hard is it to avoid sites like this if you hate spoilers. Serebii for one, will not be reporting the major datamining. Just visit that and uh, Facebook, seriously? Your Facebook friends post about Pokemon leaks all day long, really? |

And not just YT, i was just casually scrolling through FB and I found by mistake a huge story spoiler just because a friend shared it, I didn't want to know that information at all... |
On my YouTube homepage there was a 10 hour gameplay video of Sun and Moon, jesus christ.
|
No one is forcing you to view leaked information. Virtually every article and video with leaked info is conspicuously marked "LEAKED!!"

Some people make Fakemons for Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon but when the game is released, they are proven wrong.

I think the people who keep saying "well don't look if you don't want to be spoiled" really need to realize a couple things in regards to YouTube; thumbnails of the videos on their own can be huge spoilers, and YouTube automatically recommends videos for you by using your web history and IP address, even if you clear your web browser history. This is the very reason that I have completely and utterly avoided YouTube at all costs as soon as crap hit the fan, because the leaks will randomly show up in your recommendations if you've had a history of watching anything Pokémon related no matter what.
|
No matter what happens, just get ur copy of that legally. That's the right attitude making game developers' effort worthwhile.
|
I've seen stuff popping up in thumbnails of Youtube videos. I haven't seen anything major yet but I'm just trying to stay away from Pokemon related places most of the time. (at the very least I feel I can trust Pokemon forums not to have anything spoilerific in thread titles)
The thing is I kinda have to look at Youtube for a certain reason, so I've taken to holding books over the suggestion bar and maximizing videos as soon as possible. :P I do have a question though. (and I'm asking here because it's related to the spoilers) I was wondering if anyone has a list of old Pokemon that are available in the post-game? (you could send me a PM about it rather than posting the link here) |
I don't mind the leaks so much. I like exploring the region and playing the game. I've never played Pokemon for the story - it's never been standout - and if I know what new Pokemon there are I can plan my team in advance. You have to search deliberately for things like story spoilers etc, so I've never found it hard to avoid what I might not want to see.

As I mentioned in another thread, I am against leaks in general as the game should be experienced with no spoiled information beforehand. Games, like movies, tv shows, and books, are things that made to be experienced freshly. For example, if you are a huge Harry Potter fan, I'm sure you wouldn't have wanted to be spoiled on things that happened in the final book.
Therefore, a part of me is angry to see people making videos or writing articles about the leaked info. You may not mind the leaks but there are tons of people who do not want to see them, people who want to experience the games with new, fresh eyes. At the same time, another part of me is pained to see the hard work of many designers and writers be carelessly and disrespectfully publicized before the official release date. This wasn't in their plan so why are some people not taking their thoughts and effort in mind? Would you want something you created to be spoiled days before it was supposed to be officially known? |
The YouTube leaked to me EVREYTHING :(

I honestly don't know what went through these people's head, these leaks could very well harm the sells of the game or even the worldwide release of future games. |
Again, be it whether they are legal or not, be it whether you like it or not, game leaks always happen.
Still the same ol' advise-- Avoid the internet (Particularly YouTube, and sites related to what you are so particular about) if you can't accept leaks. We are not the one whom are spilling the beans, and we are in no stand or obligation to stop people from posting leaks, and have no stand on whether posting leaks are right or wrong. If the company is so mindful of these, then they will take action on the leakers themselves. No use whining like a baby on the forum at all, sad to say. |
FYI the leaks helped me pick the version I wanted. I didn't preorder since I was undecided until now. I would've been upset to say the least had I gone with my original plan of buying Sun and missed out on the Pokemon I wanted. They can serve a very useful purpose for people who don't have the game yet.
