Leaks/Rumors Discussion Thread

Spoiler:

I'll just get straight to the leaks. Mostly stuff that Riddler has hinted but more in-depth. Please excuse me if I have mispelled something but english is not my native language.

About Ultra Beasts:

> UBs aren't catchable and have no typing, which means that everything is neutral against them. They become harder to fight as the story progresses, with the final battles being against them with 700+ base stats.
> UBs are from another dimension and try to replicate the first humans they encounter in order to replace them. The mission during the second part of the story is to destroy them before they become indistinguishable from humans.
> UBs are all based on invertebrates and body systems. UB1 is based on the nervous system, and Beauty and Expansion are based on the skeleton and the musculatory system respectively. There are also two other version exclusive UBs that are based on cephalopods and the circulatory and digestive system.

About New Pokemon:

> Type: Null has an unleashed forme with Protean. It's stats are pseudo-legendary tier and it was created by Aether Foundation.
> There is only one Type: Null and Gladion will eventually give it to you in order to fight the UBs. It's also vital in a Delta Episode-like arc involving the Sinnoh legendaries (Palkia, Dialga and Arceus).
> Morelull evolves into a fairy ring that has multiple Morelull growing around a bigger mushroom a la Dugtrio. Same typing and abilities.
> Comfey has a humanoid evo that uses its lei as a hoola-hoop. Same typing and abilities.
> Boundsweet has an evo based on paprika that is Grass/Fire. It's seeds are very sought out so the Pokemon is vicious in order to defend itself.
> Salandit's evo is of the same typing and abilities. It uses its throat as a way to store the objects it has stolen.
> Wimpod has a Gyarados-like evolution that looks like a giant shrimp with pincers near its head. Same typing.
> Jangmo-o is obviously a pseudo and its final evo is Dragon/Fighting.
> There is a new Dolphin pokemon that is Water and then Water/Electric. They use their echo-location to track pokemon in need across the sea to aid them.
> Rugby Monkeys are Fighting and then Fighting/Ground. They carry coconuts as their balls to play.
> In total there's around 120s new Pokemon in the dex.
> Marshadow is the trio leader of Solagleo and Lunala. Ghost/Fighting, based on deep space, but it's irrelevant to the main story.

Now Alolan formes:

> Machamp is Fighting/Psychic. It has praying beads around its neck and its arms are positioned in a Hindu god-like form. It has reached mental nirvana by isolating itself in the mountains.
> Golem is Rock/Fire, with the cracks of its body exposed to show a molten core. It has Aftermath as one of its abilities.
> Fearow is Dragon/Flying and looks similar to a Garuda-like thing with golden claws.
> Grimer and Muk are Ground/Water and are based on quicksands. They seem to have a rivalry with the Palosand line.
> Koffing and Weezing are Water/Fire, based on water mines and geisers. They also have Aftermath as one of their abilities.

Other information:

> Megas are post game. Mega ring is given to you after filling the Zygarde Cube, but some Zygarde Cells are obtainable in areas that can only be reached after the main story is over.
> There are a couple new megas, but they are all from 5th and 6th gen Pokemon.
> Battle Frontier-like area returns but it's not on the map. You have to get there by taking a boat on Akala island.

Thanks for confirming straight-up that you're just riding on the riddler leak.

> UBs aren't catchable and have no typing, which means that everything is neutral against them. They become harder to fight as the story progresses, with the final battles being against them with 700+ base stats.

Our rival can't even pick the advantageous starter to ours but these things are gonna be that strong? Seems legit.

Delta Episode-like arc involving the Sinnoh legendaries (Palkia, Dialga and Arceus).

Mmmmmmmm no thanks, I'd rather have DPP remakes.

> In total there's around 120s new Pokemon in the dex.

Would be cool but you already said you'd be more "in-depth" than the riddler so I won't take approximations as valid answers.

> Marshadow is the trio leader of Solagleo and Lunala. Ghost/Fighting, based on deep space, but it's irrelevant to the main story.

Not a big fan of more major legendaries not having any plot relevance.

> Fearow is Dragon/Flying and looks similar to a Garuda-like thing with golden claws.

I really like Fearow but uh why Dragon??

> There are a couple new megas, but they are all from 5th and 6th gen Pokemon.
> Battle Frontier-like area returns but it's not on the map. You have to get there by taking a boat on Akala island.

You legit had to bring up the two things to get me interested at the end nice job gotta give you props for that.

MegaKuriboh · Sep 14, 2016

I like how, even if this is probably fake, at least they're putting in the effort of describing the Pokemon and the things that it does, as the main point of the new Pokemon is they all have neat features and lore about them, more so than most recent Pokemon.

> There are a couple new megas, but they are all from 5th and 6th gen Pokemon.
> Battle Frontier-like area returns but it's not on the map. You have to get there by taking a boat on Akala island.

Don't lie to me. This is just my dream.

Delta Episode-like arc involving the Sinnoh legendaries (Palkia, Dialga and Arceus).

Why would that be a thing? The Delta episode, if there is one, should be for Zygarde since he didn't get a story in game, and this would also mean no Gen 4 remakes, or if there was than this would be pointless. Not to mention technically HGSS had something like a Delta Episode for them, although a lot shorter and requires you to have Arceus.

Love how this leak disagrees with the other one that was posted in regards to megas. Are we getting new megas or not? Seems to be all up in the air, at this point. /shrug

I mostly believe we'll get no new Megas, but the mechanic will still exist though likely only in the postgame. I'm basing this assumption on the fact we've had nothing related to Mega Evolution shown in any S/M trailers, and the fact Z-Moves and Alola Forms are the main focus.

blue · Sep 14, 2016

I'm like 90/10 with new Megas right now. Some leaks seem to debunk them whilst others totally support them returning with new megas. There are plenty of Pokemon that would benefit from one so I wouldn't be totally surprised if we saw a few more.

Hikamaru · Sep 14, 2016

In an effort to keep as much of an open mind to this possibility, and also as a small attempt to play devil's advocate, do you think it's possible that TPC would reveal Megas at the very last trailer before release? If so, is it also possible that they'll perhaps introduce significantly fewer Megas than before in sixth generation? Even though it seems like all is said and done in regards to Megas, we are still two months away from release, in which we are left completely in the dark as far as what Game Freak has planned for Megas in this game.

You know, a surprise Mega reveal may not be out of the picture yet. I've mainly been piggybacking off the lack of Mega Evolution shown in the trailers, which has been why I've been doubtful about if new Megas will even be introduced.

Bobbylicious · Sep 14, 2016

IMO megas will 100% be in the game but sadly I don't think we'll get any new ones. 2 months until release and we haven't seen anything alluding to any new ones. Very unfortunate, and such a waste IMO, but w/e.

We should be hearing something any minute now but... who knows /shrug.

I still only see pics of the UB-02 forms battling Tapu Koko... but still no trailer.

kingdenas · Sep 14, 2016

I don't think there will be a trailer xD

Same. Likely going to be saved for Tuesday from the looks of things.

Pinkie-Dawn · Sep 14, 2016

What, no trailer? Then the leak I posted just got lucky for next Tuesday.

skyburial · Sep 14, 2016

Re: Megas. Sina and Dexio have me almost certain it will be returning. I imagine to simplify the layout of routes that the mega stones will be available in a shop somewhere, item hunting will most likely be focused on Z Stones.

Re: No trailer. TPCi offends my greater sensibilities sometimes.

They actually leaked a trailer (really late) XD It shows us some cutscenes of the new UB's fighting Tapu Koko!

Z25 · Sep 14, 2016

That new mega leak is technically debunked. We did get a trailer, but it wasn't that one. It also wasn't really a trailer though....

We have news in 6 days that will make or break it though. Strange we got nothing really did. I expected a coro coro rewind type trailer.

lunemoon · Sep 14, 2016

^corocoro isn't actually properly released until the 15th I think though so it's more likely that next tuesdays trailer will have any elaboration such as types clarification on whether the forms are version exclusives or not.

blue · Sep 14, 2016

More "leaks" for you guys

Spoiler:

Mana1 · Sep 14, 2016

I have no trust for any of these leaks ahhhhh. I don't believe we'll get new megas, but I feel that second leak just removes the implausible/disproven/less likely elements from the previous one and adds extra details.

Also yes today's info was a bit of a let down. But SOOOOOOOn.

Spoiler:

-> Alola Forms are, as most of you expected, Pokémon from Gen 1. You can get them both from GO, or from transferring through Bank. These will evolve to their regular forms.

-> Transferring from GO is one-sided, it can go to Sun and Moon, but not back.

-> One of the unrevealed Alola Forms is Muk, who becomes a pure Water type, based on purifying the waste it's made of. A part of a trial is based on this idea, which makes you play a mini-game to transform a regular Muk into an Alolan Muk. The Muk is given to you by the Trial Captain, and you get to keep it.

-> Solgaleo and Lunala have exclusive Z-Moves, they are called "Dawn of the Sun" and "Dusk Bringer", and the Aether Foundation is interested in them.

-> Synchro is in the game, but not like Ash-Greninja. It's a bit more complex than that, and an important plot point.

-> Both the Aether Foundation and Team Skull are the bad guys, but on the post-game, Aether Foundation truly becomes a good organization.

1. Makes no sense IMO. Alolan Pokemon won't be added to GO before Johto, and it likely won't be compatible for sending Pokemon.
2. This just seems like a fact to make ^ more plausible.
3. Another leak riding on the Muk-wagon, with a different type. I don't believe we'll be able to change the regional form of a Pokemon so no.
4. Seems likely they'll have a unique z-move considering others do.
5. Go away Synchro :( nobody loves you.
6. Seems pretty likely to me that they're both antagonists in some way or another.

Desert Stream~ · Sep 14, 2016

Starting to hate leaks :p
If they revealed a ton of realavent stuff right before release (megas, third legendary, alola forms, ultra beasts, ect.) That would instantly bring a ton of hype.

Also I just wanna see ultra beasts catchable, I hate it when I can't be all powerful

I actually like these "leaks" :).

Hmm, did anyone ever translate the Pokemon Go section the most recent corocoro leaks?

It was something like "Some of the Pokémon you met in GO can be found with new forms."
