    Speaking of the starter evos, I saw people here and elsewhere say the French Pokemon Twitter ACC teased starter evos? I had a quick glance over and couldn't see anything, can someone link me?

    Guys get ready for Ash-Greninja and Synchro Evolution A.k.a Bond Phenomenon to be revealed tomorrow trust me my dad is Reggie. He also said he was the inspiration for Alola Regigigas so look out for that. Also starter evolutions or something.

    I really can't stand the thought of it being a thing in the games. Like what Angie said just above.

    The bond, synchro etc thing just doesn't seem right in the Pokemon games and I seriously hope it doesn't happen. Ash-Greninja would make sense as an event giveaway, but I don't think something like that should actually become a game mechanic.

    Ash-Greninja also doesn't make sense... Ash isn't even in the games. I don't even know why they introduced Ash-Greninja in the anime in the first place...

    I believe the introduction of Ash Greninja to the anime was to show that it reached popularity levels of the most popular Pokemon, so basically around the same rank as Charizard, Lucario, Mewtwo and Pikachu who are the biggest presence on the popularity table. Greninja also recently won a popularity poll in Japan, and appears as a playable character in Super Smash Bros 4 so you can see why he's now up there with those aforementioned four, so giving Ash's Greninja in the anime a special form adds to the Greninja fanservice.

    It really does tho... Gen 6 kinda laid the ground work with Pokemon amie. Depending on the bond with your Pokemon it did things like get rid of its status conditions and held on when it should've fainted. I hope they introduce because one it would make your starter competitive for tournaments and give you a reason to max out the bond of your Pokemon. It's a very awesome idea and I really hope it's true.

    Yeah I liked the bonuses that came from spending time with your Pokemon in Amie, but getting an entirely new form (bearing in mind we already have Alola forms for SM) that resembles your character just seems a little strange to have in a Pokemon game.

    Has that Snowman Pokemon been debunked? It's a shame if it has been, I was really hoping it was the real deal. D:

    Not at this stage, but we know the snowman was mentioned in the Chinese leak which did predict Salandit, Pyukumuku and Morelull. The question will be if it will be revealed, and have Ice/Ghost-type like a leak mentioned.

    So I'm wondering, how many leaks were debunked with this new trailer reveal?
    Click to expand...

    Doesn't seem like it really debunked anything, at least I doubt any of the big leaks are affected. I mean the artleaka said a trailer including the Pokemon they "leaked" would be coming soon next (this month) but they never said it would be in a Nintendo direct.

    Didn't the chinese leak say that Alolan Rattata was pure Dark and not Dark/Normal though? It seems like the typings it gave us might be a bit questionable.

    It was another leak I think that leaked Alolan Rattata saying it would be dark but they also said Alolan Ninetails would be Fire/Fairy

    One of these Big Four leaks does indeed mention Dark-type Rattata:
    Spoiler:


    The "real leaks" leak (which is what it's referred to as) which initially dropped July 15th did mention a Dark-type Rattata which now seems to be real thanks to the reveal of Alolan Rattata. The new Rattata ended up being Dark/Normal instead of pure Dark, but they did sorta predict something right here, I guess.

    They did also mention Ninetales (which was among the first confirmed Alola Forms) being Fire/Fairy while it was actually Ice/Fairy. They didn't exactly get the typing right, but they were right about the Fairy typing on it.

    It was part two of the Chinese leak (the one where it leaked Bewear and Mimikyu's English names). The Rattata line retaining its Normal typing in addition to being part Dark has made me hope that the rumored Alolan Abra line happens to be Psychic/Fighting.
