Leaks/Rumors Discussion Thread

Well they've known for a long time how many pages will be required for the S/M Strategy Guide, but I still think that leak is fake.

>Steven will once again show up in the Demo. MC meets him at a beach and he is wearing swimming trunks that look like Metagross.

>Steven asks you to look after a rare Pikachu that he recently captured. The Pikachu is lv10, has a new ability named Huge Surge that doubles the power of electric attacks that Pikachu uses, and is holding a Light Ball. His known attacks are Thunderbolt and Extreme Speed.

>Steven will teach Pikachu Surf after completing a small quest that involves defeating Team Skull grunts that stole Pikachu plushies from a group of Pokemaniacs after they refused to buy ridiculously expensive Mimikyu plushies from them.

>The grunts will try to sell you a Mimikyu plushie for 1,000,000. You only have to beat the 2 skull grunts using Seviper and Qwilfish in a 1vs2 battle to complete the quest. They are both lv10 and can be OHKOed with Pikachu's Thunderbolt. After you defeat the grunts Plumeria shows up to take them away. Steven comments that she is really strong.

>You are rewarded with a Pikachu Hat and Pikachu Shirt by the Pokemaniacs whose plushies were stolen by Team Skull. Steven then says that he will look after Pikachu until you can start your actual adventure in Alola. You will still be able to use the demo to play a surfing minigame and get battle items as rewards that you can later transfer along with Pikachu. Gems are among the available rewards.

Saying there will be a casino in SM when the Game Corner was removed from European gen 4 games, replaced in international releases of HGSS, not included in any gen 5 games, not brought back for XY, and removed completely from ORAS... Yeah I mean this seems legit.

Too good to be true; fake.

I think that leak is fake. The reasons? ... You guys already said everything!

"Drampa isn't a Dunsparce evolution, but requires Dunsparce in your party for it to spawn" What the ...

EDIT:

>Steven will once again show up in the Demo. MC meets him at a beach and he is wearing swimming trunks that look like Metagross.

>Steven will teach Pikachu Surf after completing a small quest that involves defeating Team Skull grunts that stole Pikachu plushies from a group of Pokemaniacs after they refused to buy ridiculously expensive Mimikyu plushies from them.

>You are rewarded with a Pikachu Hat and Pikachu Shirt by the Pokemaniacs whose plushies were stolen by Team Skull.

You can cosplay as Pikachu? WHAT?

Yeahhhhh, I don't think I even have to highlight the red flags of this leak.

I just hope Artaleaka posts more stuff. His "leaks" are probably fake, but at least they're well done.

5. might happen. i mean the getting a pikachu based outfit not the other stuff. pikachu is the mascot after all and battle rev did have one in its customization

Possibly, but I'm still calling the leak fake.

I demand to see Cynthia in a Garchomp-themed bikini postgame.

>Steven asks you to look after a rare Pikachu that he recently captured. The Pikachu is lv10, has a new ability named Huge Surge that doubles the power of electric attacks that Pikachu uses, and is holding a Light Ball. His known attacks are Thunderbolt and Extreme Speed.

It doesn't specifically say if it's a second ability Pikachu can learn outside of Static or if it's a new Hidden Ability to replace Lightning Rod.

>Steven will teach Pikachu Surf after completing a small quest that involves defeating Team Skull grunts that stole Pikachu plushies from a group of Pokemaniacs after they refused to buy ridiculously expensive Mimikyu plushies from them.

Doesn't Mimikyu plushies ruin the lore of Mimikyus using 20-year-old Pikachu merchandise to make itself loved?

>The grunts will try to sell you a Mimikyu plushie for 1,000,000. You only have to beat the 2 skull grunts using Seviper and Qwilfish in a 1vs2 battle to complete the quest.

So what level is this Pikachu then if it's able to one-shot lvl 10 grunt mons?

>You are rewarded with a Pikachu Hat and Pikachu Shirt by the Pokemaniacs whose plushies were stolen by Team Skull.

I certainly wish this was an actual thing for a Pokemon demo.

 

[clbgolden]

Ok, the leak itself aside... Anyone else wondering how a Metagross swimsuit would look? XD

 

[clbgolden]

Spoiler:

take that how you will. idk if that was even a real anime screenshot (probably not?) but yeah.

Hm, if those are what they'd look like, they seem a bit... Anticlimactic, I guess? I dunno, I expected something more creative than just Metagross' face plastered all over them (I'd still probably wear a pair, tho XD).

 

[shadowmoon522]

I demand to see Cynthia in a Garchomp-themed bikini postgame.

this is what google & fan art is for, it would be quite surprising if that doesn't exist with that whole thing for Cynthia that spread around quite a bit among those who clearly need a gf &/or some fresh air.

Still looking for the image of the "4 most relevant leaks so far" thing if anyone has it?

Here it is:

Spoiler:

 

[Hikamaru]

We will have to pay attention to the Big Four leaks again since Sun & Moon info is likely getting revealed in a Nintendo Direct presentation that's going to broadcast on YouTube on Thursday.

 

[Hikamaru]

it'd be hilarious if the direct manages to somehow debunk all of them sans the chinese one.

So far the Chinese leak got the most credibility. But I could imagine a contradicting statement compared to one of the leaks happening.

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

Looking at the picture that Pinkie shared I would say that the starter leaks have the most credibility thus far in terms of having nothing wrong, or slightly wrong. Yet... it also has very little confirmed at the same time :/

 

[Desert Stream~]

If only I didn't have school tomorrow :(

 

[Hikamaru]

Speaking of starter evolutions, people are speculating that it could be one of the possible things the Direct may reveal. Something tells me it won't be starters' middle evos revealed, since they are usually held off until close to release but you know, I could be wrong.

 

[Hikamaru]

If they aren't revealed in this direct, then they'll either be revealed in:

a) CoroCoro
b) sometime past CoroCoro
c) October.

Having it at a random date past CoroCoro wouldn't make any sense, but y'know, random leaks here and there happen, so it's a possibility.

You do have a point, because we have had trailers that sometimes dropped unexpectedly (one I can think of is the July 19th trailer). Personally I think starter evolutions could get revealed in CoroCoro since that was the case for them most of the time, plus the starters seem to have a tie to Rockruff (who will be focused in this month's issue) so it would make sense.

If we don't get it in CoroCoro, then most likely next month instead.
