Leaks/Rumors Discussion Thread

[MrGriszell]

Pyukumuku would look very weak if it doesn't get an evolution. That's just my two cents though.

The marking on its body means great/strong/powerful. I think this is our new pseudo legendary

I guess if Tynamo can evolve into Eelektross then anything is possible! That's actually a similar comparison to Pyukumuku, it could well turn out to be something similar to that design in that case.

I was wondering about the rumor of some pokemon changing form upon using Z-move.
Will there be any point of this transformation since Pokemon can only Use Z-move once per battle ???

Also , I was wondering about Charizard having Special transformation.
What if Game Freak create a "White Mega Charizard" to oppose "Black Mega Charizard"?

Another drawing based leak has appeared, followed by the description from the OP about GF's schedule (wut):

Spoiler:

I've got a legit leak for you guys here. Believe me or not by uncles friends dogs previous owners uncle works at Nintendo. Just kidding. I actually am from the video editing department where we record, mix footage, and assets such as borders, etc, etc. The few of us here have a bête version of a game which we use to record most of this footage. Anyways the quality isn't that good because since last months leak they upped the security and now anything uploaded through the servers will be tracked back to the user. The footage above may/may not be present in the October video because GameFreak isn't 100% sure when they will release the second forms of he starters. Late September/early October is what I heard but things change. Anyways here is some info

- The secret of Rockruff and the starters are... Multiple time based evolutions. There is a Morning, Midday (Male and Female), and Night one amounting up to 4 evolutions each. Here are the starters...

- Rowlet evolves into Rascowl then Scoundrowl. Morning evolution is a Grass/Electric Thor like character. Midday(M) is the Grass/Flying Archer. Midday(F) is Grass and much more colourful and looks like red riding hood. Night is a Grass/Ground Velociraptor

- Litten evolves into Wickat then Flintiger. Morning is a Fire/Poison quad that looks very nuclear. It is hard to explain its appearance. Midday(M) is a Fire/Dark Wrestler and so is Midday(F) but it is just Fire type, thinner, faster stat wise, and has more red in its colour scheme. Night is a Fire/Ghost Sabretooth tiger (It is also a quad)

- Popplio evolves into Bubbileo then Leoskid. Morning is a Water/Steel Ronin (Samurai. It is really cool cause it's nose inflates and turns into a mask). Midday(F) is a Water/Fairy Mermaid and Midday(M) is a Water/Fighting Sealion. Night is a Water/Ice Mososaurus looking thing

Here are some details on some of the new Pokemon

- Orugbitang is the Rugby Monkey Pokemon. It is fighting type but it's appearance and second type changes based on the Z-Crystal it holds

- Findrip is a Water dolphin that evolves differently based on he island you evolve it on. It remains water and becomes a normal Dolphin on Melemele. Water/Fairy Pink Dolphin on Akala, Water/Ghost Skeletal Whale on UlaUla, and Water/Rock Itchyosaur on Poni

- Soulsno is the second stage of the 2 stage Ice/Ghost Snowman Pokemon. It's ability is really cool. In its normal form it is slow but has high attack and special attack. If hit by a fire move it becomes Water/Ghost type and gets a huge speed boost. If hit again by an Ice type it reverts to its normal form

- Turtain and Trubble are the Pre evolutions of Turtonator. Trubble is like Pupitar to Tyranitar. Turtain can also evolve into Tribble then Turtilator which is Water/Dragon

Here are a few details on some of a new mechanic

- Zvolution (Z- Evolution). There are no new Mega evolutions this time around but there are new Megastones. Confusing isn't it. Basically there is a Greninjanite Z which is explained to be accidentally made by Zygarde when releasing its power. Greninjanite Z actually has no effect on the Pokemon that holds it. You need to Breed 2 Greninja's with 1 holding Greninjanite Z and the egg will hatch with the "Z-Gene". This allows them to access a new form like mega evolution but different and based in friendship. Mega Z Stones are extremely rare and hard to find in game and rarely (About as rare as finding a Shiny) a Pokemon can be found in the wild with the "Z-Gene". Pokemon that go through this process have a part of them changed to match the appearance of the trainer (Black on the face when a player has a black hat, etc) and an emphasized move for example Crobat has huge glowing fangs while Greninja has its Water Shuriken. These Pokemon also have special Z-Moves. Here are a few Pokemon that can go through the process... Johto, Unova, and Kalos starters, Flygon, Milotic, Crobat, Dragonite, and a few others

Here are some details on the legendaries

- Marshadow is the first ever ??? Type which is making a return. It's ability makes it so that it can use any Z-Move despite the moves it has

- Tapu Tiki (Holy Tiki) is the Fairy type fusion of all 4 Guardians.

- Sunnix and Moonake are the true Sun/Moon legendaries. Solgaleo and Lunala are emissaries of them. Their typings are Fire/Fairy and Dark/Fairy. Solgaleo's Radiant Sun Phase and Lunalas Full Moon Phase are "Reflection Forms" which partially activate when using a Move. Their forms fully activate when Sunnix or Moonake are on the team. A few other Pokemon can go through this process

- Kyurem complete appears in a huge fight against Zygarde because Zygarde thinks Mega Evolutions are unbalanced (Which is why Zygarde made Z-Crystals. Zvolution though was an accident) and Kyurem "is mega evolution". The pure form of mega stones came from the meteor that contained the Original Dragon. Kyurem Complete is pure Dragon type with slightly OP moves and abilities. It's move Mega Aura is a mist that appears for 5 turns before going away. Any Pokemon on its team who enter the field will mega evolve regardless if they have a stone or if another Pokemon has mega evolved. It's other special move "Reverse Aura" prevents the opponents team from Mega Evolving. You can't use both Auras at the same time. It's ability is like the Totem Pokemon's "team up" ability. When it is low on health it reverts to Kyurem but has Zekrom and Reshirahm as sidekicks (Although a well placed earthquake can take them all out)

Here is even more info regarding the future of Pokemon. GameFreak has planned far ahead, some ideas more complete than others. In fact a few of these ideas leaked a few days ago although some of the info is incorrect ( Saturn Diamond, Jupiter Pearl leak, and the Reginos region leak). Here is a list of what will happen (Although things can change with the course of time)
- 2017 Pokemon Shadow and Light: Takes place in the Reginos region based on Great Britain. Shadow and Light "Pseudo Types" introduced. Comes out in December on the NX
- 2018 Pokemon Saturn Diamond and Jupiter Pearl
- 2019 Pokemon Black Z and White Z
- 2020 Pokemon Past and Future
- 2021 Pokemon Mars Red and Neptune Blue
- 2022 Pokemon Nexus
- 2023 Pokemon Terra and Void
- 2024 Pokemon Beginning and End
- 2025
- 2026 Pokemon Infinity
- 2027 Reboot

Got to "Believe me or not by uncles friends dogs previous owners uncle works at Nintendo" and thought they were serious for a second LOL.

Fire/Poison for a starter Pokemon would be an interesting combination, the second of its kind too. I like the sound of some of them typing combinations for the starter evolutions but I just don't know to what extent the split evolutions could go to.

Another drawing based leak has appeared, followed by the description from the OP:

Spoiler:

I'm skeptical about this. As cool as this sounds, I sense leak-baiting occurring here. A fire poison type is something people have wanted for a long time. So this seems kind of click-baity. I can see Rowlet's evolution to be viable, but a Samurai? Pokemon already did that with Samurrot and they usually don't repeat themselves with starters unless in terms of patterns. Sun and moon can break this, but until next month with Rockruff's evolution, we don't know if this is true or not.

However...with the idea of the day/night forms being a thing...this makes sense with the "confirmed" evolutions. It's possible what we saw on the concept art is just one form. I mean, all of them aren't labeled as final. They're labeled as Litten3 Rowlet3 Popplio3. It's possible this is one final stage they made( I get in companies you can have many stages to concept art, but this seems to fit a little nicely...almost too nicely). This could also factor into the theory of awkward middle evolutions.

Spoiler:

Just saw those titles and that's really hard to believe tbh. There was a recent rumour that Nintendo are planning on releasing a Pokemon game for the NX during its release date window in March which would counteract that December release for the NX in the leak.

And that rumor is also fake, because it mentioned a Mario game for the NX during its release date window, even though Miyamoto said the next Mario game would be revealed at next year's E3.

Gotta say, I like the ideas, but there's no darn way anything in this leak is real. It sounds unprofessional and honestly sounds like a bit too much for a Pokemon game. (As much as I like it.) and the last part? There's no way GF planned that far ahead.

The link doesn't work anymore..

And for the leak, I want it to be true sooooo much, because I really don't like the leaked starters final evolutions ahah
But it would also be interesting to have that many forms for a single Pokémon.

When it comes to the future of Pokémon, I'm inclined to believe that they've been planning ahead, we have had proof of that more than once in the past, but I don't believe they have planned that much ahead..

Spoiler:

Gosh, this leak seems so, so fake. Just some red flags off the top of my head:

-Those starter evo forms all seem way too different from each other to count as the same Pokémon.
-The whole Kyurem Zygarde thing sounds like a bad fanfiction. Seriously, why would they just randomly bring back Kyurem and say he's a Mega Evolution and that he created them? Even more ridiculous, why would they finish the lore of Mega Evolution yet NOT introduce any new ones?
-I highly doubt GF would plan THAT far ahead, or finish gen 7 that fast. Some of those names sound a little weird as well.

HOWEVER that idea on how the snowman Pokémon would work sounds rad. Make that happen, GF.

 

[pokestar1993]

Besides the Rowlet evolution looks similar to the fake grass owl starter that was shown before Rowlet was even revealed.

 

[LilyGardy]

As entertaining as that leak was to read I find it very hard to believe that Game Freak would plan 10 years ahead.

Four starter evolutions each seems unlikely too particularly Rowlet's 'Velociraptor' evolution which seems too great a change. A Gender split evolution I could believe a four way time of day split not so much.

The Kyurem part seems complete nonsense and much as I'd like to see a Bond based Dragonite the Z Gene idea seems cobbled together too.

Spoiler:

Sounds like a load of baloney. Plus it's totally piggy backing off another rumour that gave Rockruff and the starters four evolutions each.

You're telling me Game Freak has game titles planned out 11 years in advance? Yeah sure.

 

[Famon]

huh? where did you hear the rumour about pokemon changing forms upon activating Z-moves?

It was in the lack mentioning Rainbow Greninja.

and I have no idea what you're asking by the second question.

I just like the idea of Charizard having another transformation where his body become white.

What was that gif even of, anyways?

Reuploaded the GIF

Spoiler:

Everything in that seem very... Off. I'll have to rewatch some trailers to see if they could've just edited one of them...

Edit: Lol, yep. The August 1st trailer shows Fomantis using Razor Leaf (the move shown in that gif) against a Mudsdale with that exact same background. Definitely calling fake now.
