I remembered Arcanine being ruled out thanks to Famitsu. But the starter middle evolutions you have to admit weren't bad since it did feel like they bridged what we know with the leaked final evolutions. Hopefully the actual designs don't turn out to be horrible, or at least better than what the artist behind those drawings did.

That was Art leak, he came back and said it was fake.


And if starter evos are shown and don't look like the leaked ones, I'm calling split evos. The starters would be made neutral to turn into either.

Yeah reading through the thread, apparently he tweets things and deletes them quickly.

But the "2 Min." timestamp looks really odd. I'm not sure if you can change the display of timestamps on Twitter, but the default is "2m" not "2 Min." so that to me immediately casts doubt over the legitimacy over this tweet.

You can't change the display of timestamps, no. I couldn't find that option anywhere in my own settings when i looked. .-.

It's way too early to confirm it fake, since /vp/ hasn't mentioned the timestamp issue.

What Pinkie said. Also I believe I could be wrong, but I think depending on your language setting for Twitter changes how the time stamp is displayed.

I guess that art leak can be put to rest, but for some reason I still don't believe the "version exclusive forms" idea until if something confirms it or not. It has been said the starters and Rockruff share a secret, and with Lycanroc's reveal it's speculated to be version exclusive forms.

That tweet is in English, and as far as I know, English timestamps don't display like that. Even if he were a Japanese dude tweeting in English, Kanji would've displayed instead of "2 min". Unless we know what the dude's Twitter homepage looks like, it's almost impossible to tell what language is set as the default.

Besides, going by the tweets he's been sending anyway, I would think it's safe to assume that English is a default language given a lot of his tweets are in English, even if he's retweeting Japanese material.

What does the tweet being in English have to do with anything? The tweet was written in English, obviously it's going to be displayed in English no matter what language you have Twitter sent to, tweets aren't automatically translated to your default language. If someone tweets something in Japanese, it'll be displayed in Japanese until I translate it.

And I was correct, I just got on my computer, and changed my language setting to French, and my tweets are now timestamped "x min" rather than "xm" - change it to French and see for yourself.

Like, obviously in the screenshot the min is capitalized as Min, but I'm sure if you picked a different language setting, you'd eventually get one that gives a timestamp exactly like the screenshot
 
I'm not saying whether the leak is true or not (nor do I care), I'm just saying you can't assume it's confirmed fake because it says "Min", which is what everyone was doing.

But what would the chances be that a French guy would post the leak on 4Chan, which I'm pretty sure is an American forum?

at any rate, I'm personally curious as to whether or not Tuesday's reveal would include whatever is tangentially related to Anabel. Either it's another Battle Frontier of sorts, or something more subtle.

I'm more interest on the "Secret" between Alola Starter and Rockruff.
And Mega evolution or Z-form.
According to official website , Mid-day and Mid-night evolution are influence by Solgaleo and Lunala.
But , Why those pokemon get influenced by Solgaleo and Lunala ? Does they has some sort of connection with Alola Legendary ?
Does that mean that Marshadow can also influence Alola starter and Rockruff to have a 3rd evolution?

Rather then Battle Frontier , I prefer another "Pokemon World Tournament" where Player can also battle against previous protagonist of the game.
That would be a great way to Celebrate 20 year anniversary of pokemon.

If the middle evolutions don't appear in Tuesday's trailer, they'll probably be in CoroCoro. But other than that, we'll see if it debunks those leaked drawings that also showed a Water-type Arcanine, and possible new Golem, Parasect and Weezing forms.

Maybe , Tuesday will reveal the middle Starter evolution While Coro Coro will reveal "Type Null" to be made from the bodypart of Alola starter & Rockruff.
However , If Alola starter and Rockruff has 2 spilt evolution then wouldn't it be possible that there are two "Type Null" made from 2 different evolution of Alola starter and Rockruff.
Maybe , They are version exclusive with One Type Null being used by Gladion while The another one is for the player to catch.
For example : "Mid-Day Type Null" for Pokemon Sun And "Mid-Night Type Null" for Pokemon Moon.

Well these games seem to be changing many aspects in regards to core mechanics, I really wouldn't rule anything out at this stage. I'm hopeful Ohmori is aiming to lead these games in a new direction that appeases the fans, old and new.

Looking at this, are we expecting the middle evos of the Alola starters to be revealed this month? Will they be revealed on the October 4th news or saved for CoroCoro just like the past starter middle evos?

I wouldn't be surprised if they are revealed this month, but I wouldn't say this has any connection to it. All it asks is "Which starter will you pick?"

But right after that sentence it mentions the October 4th news. I think it's hinting at something...
