That entire Twitter account's dedicated to Eevee so it was probably a case of having access to the giant Lapras and going 'wouldn't it be cute if Eevee was riding it?'

That entire Twitter account's dedicated to Eevee so it was probably a case of having access to the giant Lapras and going 'wouldn't it be cute if Eevee was riding it?'
Just noticing some conspicuous solecisms. Began -> begun, practising -> practicing, technic -> technique, eevee -> easy.
No idea if it means anything. A, S, C, EVEE are the new letters, U, C, QUE, ASY are the missing ones.
So they know the codename for the game which won't be the official name used when the Switch title actually is released...so how will we know they knew anything to start with? This is just attention whoring. I've been following the PIxelpar tweets for the last month or so and they've not shown to actually know anything
We'll find out the codename from official sources (S/M's was Niji) and if Pixelpar has tweets clearly pointing to it then we'll know he had insider info.
That's the thing. I bet he'll be able to twist anything said/shown into a vague reference of the codename
If it's another random Japanese word like Niji I think it'd be pretty transparent whether he knew ahead of time or not.
I highly doubt he has insider information. Most of, if not all of what he's said regarding Pokemon has been way too general. The localization thing could've been researched by anyone who happened to look at the list of jobs at Nintendo. Additionally the way he treated that Lapras screenshot was very suspicious and reeks of behaviour where he wants people to know that he might have something while dilly-dallying about it (on top of that, the image looks like shit so I highly doubt it is real).
With the exception of the localization job postings, most of what he's said is completely baseless speculation. There's nothing that corroborates (or denies) what he has said regarding 1-UP Studio's involvement (and we won't know until the game(s) come out and we see the credits), and the most that he gives is a vague and heavily pixelated image. The deadline is completely up in the air and comes off as arbitrary. According to his twitter, it's apparently day 27 of 31, so what's the likelihood that Nintendo reveals this new Pokemon game this upcoming week?
If I'm wrong, I'll admit it, but there's nothing of worth for me to take him seriously.

That's the thing, his coyness with Pokemon rumours has been very strange. Especially the Lapras image.
I think if he gets another direct timeline wrong thats pretty much a big nail in the coffin. Its not too hard to feel the trend of when a nintendo direct might be close. Nailing the exact time is that hard part
Chinese riddler getting attentions was because lots of stuff he mentioned was proved to be true by official news. However, nowadays lots of random twitter guys getting attentions before any official fact comes out to back up is so weird af.
Because all these Twitter guys are on Twitter and are speaking English rather than posting on a Chinese board that's obscure to the western audience
The indication that we may get a similar merch date reveals for Pokémon Switch, Alolan Vulpix only coming in August, etc.
It's just a way to say 'Hey, it's only movie merch for now sure, but that's doesn't mean jack shit for Pokémon Switch coming this year or not.'

People are inclined to believe what they want to believe.
Everyone wants to be seen as being relevant with leaks now, that's why we have so many people like Marcus Sellars.
That at least gives some pressure to provide actual info at that point. We'll see if his countdown amounts to anything.
Depends how substantial his "hidden" information is. If it's something vague or obvious like "Z-Moves are coming back" then meh. Though if it turns out that he has indeed dropped some bombs without us even noticing it then kudos to him. We will see if he has been full of shit the whole time or if he has had indeed solid sources.
weird how he went from no "insider info" to "i know stuff" within those 30 days
Technically he said he had no insider info about the announcement, not things like codename or the game itself
Liam Robertson and Emily Rogers follow this person
Pixelpar is VERY good at finding job openings and linkedin leaks
I think this is the first time I see that twitter profile talking so ...cryptic
Yeah, they recently claimed to have come into contact with someone who could confirm that the localisation jobs we discussed months back were in fact for a Pokémon game this year. That's what they're talking about right now, so we'll see if their source turns out to be legit.
A lot of things he says can't be verified ASAP, like Studio 1-UP's involvement (which we won't know until the games release assuming the credits list credits everyone involved). The cynic in me thinks its to cover his ass in case he's wrong.
The 1-UP studio's involvement was something he tried to deduce from picture in the background of some image on their website. He never claimed they were Pokémon, he just thought they looked like Pokémon and tried to discern something on them.
His stakes in leaking are currently that he was the person who posted the Lapras leaked image, and that he is now hinting at a Direct coming and claims that his posts hide the project codename and details about the project. We'll see about that, still: his claim to fame of leaking isn't there, so he'll have to prove his legitimacy before we should take what he says and consider it relevant to the discussion. Just a few days before his countdown ends, so then we will probably hear more.
For Pixelpar's countdown to end so that we can see what he is up to. (Or the direct if Pixelpar's info/hunch is correct)
He is up to nothing. He never said something is going to happen at the end of it.
Actually, there's a bit of a clue in one of the images: "URAGAMER". Maybe that's a subtle hint to Eurogamer. Starts with Euro - Project Europa? I love a good puzzle :)
He's said that he does this for fun, nothing to take too seriously. He tweets interesting stuff, but I wouldn't take him too seriously.
Some people act way out of line, here and elsewhere. Don't take shit so seriously, just let it be. And the way too enthusiastic crowd who yell that the guy surely knows something can cnock it off too. Just chill, he might know something or not.
Eurogamer leaked stars, so maybe stars actually is going to be the game. A third alolan game possibly.
He does have insider info. But that's unrelated to the countdown.
Project Moby = Moby Dick Studios = Kojima Productions. Death Stranding is Pokemon Gen 8. When they said they wanted to focus on improving the story aspects, they were damn serious.
"The beluga whale, a white whale with a similar body shape and coloration to Lugia, may also be a basis for Lugia's design and name."
M21 stars Lugia. It all comes together.
