The only weird thing he called out was the RR. The other stuff is pretty standard (and failed with the new alola forms really bad).
Literally the only accurate aspect of that """"leak"""" that wasn't easily-guessable was the names, and that's not enough to outweigh the multiple things it gets absolutely flat-out wrong.

Which is, in itself, pretty hard to guess. They even named it and gave details about the context. Molayne as a new member of Elite 4 isn't exactly obvious either.The only legit thing is the RR stuff, the rest is...a pretty easy guess for a 3rd version.
Also they got some stuff really wrong.
this has made me realize how disappointing all the grass final evolutions are
- Sceptile > Venusaur > Serperior > Torterra > Decidueye > Meganium > Chesnaught
(shiny Decidueye would be at #2)- Delphox > Charizard > Typhlosion > Infernape > Blaziken > Incineroar > Emboar
(I actually don't like any of them that much from Typhlosion onwards)- Empoleon > Primarina > Blastoise > Greninja > Swampert > Samurott > Feraligatr
(I love Squirtle and Wartortle but Blastoise has always looked so disappointing to me lol)
Overall:
- Delphox
- Empoleon
- Primarina
- Charizard
- Sceptile
- Venusaur
- Blastoise
- Serperior
- Torterra
- Decidueye
- Greninja
- Swampert
- Meganium
- Samurott
- Typhlosion
- Infernape
- Blaziken
- Feraligatr
- Chesnaught
- Incineroar
- Emboar
Nope. Unless you are in Australia or NZ, so you might not be able to access it due to the ban.
Did anyone see Lootpots' analysis of the signs in the reveal trailer?
Pixelpar managed to confect a whole new map of the region out of the reflection in the protagonist's wardrobe!

After finding Barunda at the edge of that manga panel and the cry order on a table at Game Freak in a Game Informer video, I guess we're going to have to step up our CSI Enhance game again now.Pixelpar managed to confect a whole new map of the region out of the reflection in the protagonist's wardrobe!

Pretty major things to get wrong.

At this point I'm expecting 60-70 brand new pokemon again, and we will see like 50-60 of those pre-launch.I want to see more of the game, just not too many new Pokémon just yet. Unless they're giving us lots of new Pokémon and they'll save enough for the release date (which I doubt).
I think they can perfectly show any new features/looks by using older Pokémon and saving the surprise for later.
Though right now I think it's about time to reveal the mascots, at least.
Sun and Moon had 81 new Pokemon, I hope it's closer to that, but with far, FAR fewer legendaries.At this point I'm expecting 60-70 brand new pokemon again, and we will see like 50-60 of those pre-launch.
I'm just thinking because it's a new gen....with it being the first in hd, so many resources had to go to the game itself.Sun and Moon had 81 new Pokemon, I hope it's closer to that, but with far, FAR fewer legendaries.

Plus resources to make models etc. are different to the Pokémon designing.
Yep, as I have been saying for years, despite the fandom not wanting to count them, Game Freak count new Mega Evolutions and alternate forms as New PokémonEven for XY, the decision to include less Pokemon seemed to have been intentional and not limitational if you factor in the Megas. If you combine them together you get around 100, which is the same as Gen 2 and very close to Gen 4.
Oddly enough, the recent Pokemon games have had noticeably more designers than the previous ones. GF has started to reach out to TCG artists and other freelancers in the last few years.
We do and it is :)

I don't think this game even uses a physically based pipeline. as for the pokemon, they have a master texture file. there's no need to upscale anythingWhat let's you think this? There is no difference in HD or not HD, just maybe a new PBR usage for the graphics which doesn't change much, rather makes creating assets and textures a little bit easier because of the fixed values you get from realworld materials. Already existent Pokemon stay the same maybe upscaled and polished textures, but that could be done by an intern.
I think they'd sooner lower the evolution level for those lines than retcon in middle evolutions.Generation V introduced animated sprites for every Pokemon and still managed to give us 156 new Pokemon, so I don't think graphical leap = less Pokemon necessarily.
Speaking of Generation V, Birdie's hot-take of the day---they should introduce new mid-form evolutions for Rufflet and Vullaby to "fix" the crazy level gap and the fact there's a pretty big design and stat leap. Honestly, I'd love to see the PokeDex a mix of New Pokemon, Regional Variants for Gen I-IV, and new evolutions/baby Pokemon for Gen V-VII since they never got that.
Fuck Eviolite.
They generally do have exclusive egg or level up moves, but I can't really think of any notable ones off hand.Baby Pokémon are useless, but I'm all in for new evolutions.
I always thought babies should have exclusive moves or something like that, correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know, they have no purpose in the game.
Yeah, I just think it'd actually work for those two lines because visually they almost look like a 3-stage bird line without the middle.I think they'd sooner lower the evolution level for those lines than retcon in middle evolutions.
I don't know what they were thinking with the Gen V evolution levels. They badly need to be retconned. Mienfoo has a BST of 350 with only 85 attack and doesn't evolve until level 50 (!!). You have to get Elgyem to level 42 before you get your 485 BST Beheeyem. Pawniard has 340 BST and doesn't evolve until level 52 (!!!!!). I'm not exaggerating when I say these Pokemon are unplayable.No, Baby Pokemon do have exclusive moves.
XY had a gimmick where Wild Baby Pokemon had 3 perfect IVs, but that was removed in Generation VI probably because the S.O.S. system had the Baby Pokemon call their evolved forms with better IVs.
Yeah, I just think it'd actually work for those two lines because visually they almost look like a 3-stage bird line without the middle.
I really would like a Generation to eventually fix the messiness of the evolution system---change the Pokemon who evolve with a specific, one-use item to Level Up to make it easier (Generation IV evolutions looking at you!), make Gen III and Gen IV Baby Pokemon breedable by default without an Incense, etc. They did it with Milotic so I don't see why not as it wouldn't mess up trading with previous games.
Make Leafeon and Glaceon Leaf and Ice Stone evolutions as well.No, Baby Pokemon do have exclusive moves.

Noibat wishes it was as lucky as Mienfoo or Pawniard. 245 BST, 45 Sp. Attack, doesn't evolve until level 48. They made it available on the first island in US/UM. Using it must've been torture.I don't know what they were thinking with the Gen V evolution levels. They badly need to be retconned.

what I'm weirded out is that they have walk/runs for all pokemon and they're seemingly not being used. we know there are some pokemon in the overworld but to what extent is unknown. and they definitely won't have all of them as NPCs
