you're probably right Flex_S.
So if we want we can believe you while we should be skeptical on what you say? Also are you sure you're not made out of wood? ;) I got the reference.Hey there. A couple people emailed me this thread and even though I try not to comment on Poke fansites for professional reason, I figured I probably should this one time - especially since the topic has turned to me specifically.
1. I write a few articles every month for Beckett's Pokemon magazine, but it's not my day job and Beckett is not my employer. I'm friends with two of the current editors and both the current VA for Brock and I attended one of the editor's weddings a while back. Not together. We just both happened to know her IRL before any of us did anything Pokemon related. Wacky coincidence.
2. Yes I leaked Pokemon Platinum in the mag a few years back but I do want to state I had permission to mention it, and in fact was asked to do so specifically to create a buzz. I never say anything news-related unless I'm asked to or have permission. I like not being a hobo after all. :-)
3. Just because I have advance knowledge doesn't mean that either I or that knowledge is always correct. One example is a piece I did on PBR. Because there is about a two to three month gap between an article being written and being published, a few english localizations changed and so some names were off. Not a big deal, as the content, guide, and strategies were all correct, but it's just proof that I don't bat 1.000.
As well, sometimes advance knowledge and having products in my possession can be a bad thing. For example, I did two or three articles on the Groundbreakers set for the Trading Figure game. I had permission, I recieved all the pieces, and I went to town. Guess what still has yet to be released to the general public? Whoops. That was a literally last minute change of plans on that end of the Pokemon franchise. Sure, the articles are still valid and will be helpful if you ever get those pieces, but it's still a bit weird to have written about something that never actually was released, you know?
All I'm saying is having faith in what I write is just as valid as being very skeptical of what I write. Especially as there is always someone out there spreading falsehoods or making fake footage in the Pokemon communities.
4. I'm not a witch and I can prove it for I do not weigh the same as a duck. I have been accused of being a vampire before though, but this too is also a falsehood.

He would not. Confidentiality reasons and all.

Exactly. Like look how many people didn't believe me about Pokemon Platinum until it was officially announcement several months later. I was offended by people saying I made that up or calling me a liar. Plus, I think I was off by a month or two on the release date. Which meant even though I was right about the big thing, I was wrong about a little thing.

I trust Lucard is the real deal... I read his post on another site.
