I hope they do that because it'll leak anyway.I hope they don't reveal the final starter evolutions before launch this time like they did with Sun and Moon.

maybe this time they'll properly scrub the demo!
I hope they don't reveal the final starter evolutions before launch this time like they did with Sun and Moon. Am I right in thinking that that was the first time they'd done that since Gen 3?
Serebii do you know if the leaks influenced the decision to show off the Gen VII starter evolutions, or if they were probably always going to do that?
huh, don't remember that in the original game. I guess it was an addition?
I remember the fake items, but I didn't know they turned them into boss battles. I never went into the power plant when I played LGThe originals and the remakes also had the fake items that became Electrode. RBY also had fake items that turned into Voltorb.
I don't think its really a boss battle in the totem pokemon/legendary sense. Its more that Let's Go doesn't really have many non trainer encounters that are battles, so they count it as a boss maybe, since you have to actually battle a wild electrode?I remember the fake items, but I didn't know they turned them into boss battles.

Another GameXplain discussion:
Honestly, I rarely ever understand it when people say that the female avatar design is so much better than the male one. They both always look fine to me like "yep, that's our protagonists".
Leaks have only affected things twice, and both times the "leaks" came from people datamining the official website which had the individual Pokémon videos up early but inaccessible. They then shared to VK and then that got to 4chan and the rest of the world.I hope they don't reveal the final starter evolutions before launch this time like they did with Sun and Moon.

Didn't the final evolutions for the starters leak with SM months before the reveal and "confirmed" when Mallow was revealed?Leaks have only affected things twice, and both times the "leaks" came from people datamining the official website which had the individual Pokémon videos up early but inaccessible.

The first instance happened in the morning of June 30th 2016. Previously, the news had been planned for July 1st at 22:00 JST but they brought the trailer forward to June 30th at 19:00 JST. The English trailer came out at the planned time.
Then, two months later, they inexplicably hadn't fixed the hole and did it again. On August 10th 2016 at around 22:00 UTC, the same sort of footage got posted online. It had been planned for August 12th at 01:00 UTC but then got brought forward to August 11th at 07:20 UTC, with the English trailer coming out 6 hours later.
It may have affected it, but the cycle didn't have them as being out in the middle of nowhere as there was specific TCG merchandise that featured them due out on launch day and needed to be advertised. That's how they first officially were shown, through a tweet of the TCG merchandise on October 27th, followed soon after by the trailer so it is my belief that the leak didn't affect it at all
That's correct. The most inexplicable leak that I dismissed without even checking. When Mallow came, I publicly apologised for my haste with it.Didn't the final evolutions for the starters leak with SM months before the reveal and "confirmed" when Mallow was revealed?
Does that 4chan 'leak' about the new elemental types and mechanics pass the smell test for you?That's correct. The most inexplicable leak that I dismissed without even checking. When Mallow came, I publicly apologised for my haste with it.
Well, same thing could apply to mega evolution\ special moves ,but I don't think gamefreak care that much about competitiveNo way that leak is true. Also the elemental armor is cool in practice but would be horrible in competitve

We've seen competitive nerfs and changes from gen 5 to gen 6 and gen 6 to gen 7, so they clearly care.Well, same thing could apply to mega evolution\ special moves ,but I don't think gamefreak care that much about competitive
Grookey is not even a spider monkey. I don't even... You're kidding, right?
The mega and Z special moves added more unbalance than any previous gen.We know that the names Sword and Shield along with some other details have been floating around since last year(which is why we've seen so many images of people guessing them), so I wouldn't be quick to believe rumors that gets a few things we now know right.

Z-Moves are actually intended to create more balance as they make more Pokémon actually usable due to either being able to hit somewhat hard with a powerful attack or set up in unique ways with Z-Status moves.The mega and Z special moves added more unbalance than any previous gen.
Landorus, Inceneroar, the Tapus, and certain legends when legal are the ones that rule everything. Kanga and Mence were up there in gen 6, but nobody uses them anymore.The mega and Z special moves added more unbalance than any previous gen.
I found them to be more complicated and unbalanced I would rather have them readjust the base stats.Z-Moves are actually intended to create more balance as they make more Pokémon actually usable due to either being able to hit somewhat hard with a powerful attack or set up in unique ways with Z-Status moves.
Nice try though :)
Adjusting base stats would do very littleI found them to be more complicated and unbalanced I would rather have them readjust the base stats.
My original point is armor eliminates isn't gonna create more unbalanced competitive than we already have.
What was the point in posting this as if it was credible?
-Scandinavia
-Scandinavia
-Spider Grass starter
-Sobble as an iguana, rather than the chameleon that it clearly actually is
-Dragon and Pegasus box legendaries, rather than the wolves depicted in the logo
-Post literally titled "Fun idea for Gen 8"
Come on now. Even from what we already know, this has more wrong with it than right.
How can grass spider be argued? Or Scandinavia? Those completely end the rumor. There were tons of people predicting a fire bunny, and UK region.I dont think it's legit (most likely not), but some of those can be argued. I've seen some people already nebulously calling Sobble every kind of reptile in the book, I can understand someone not knowing what species he is based off of a visual. That last point also isn't evidence whatsoever in either way. Plenty of leaks in the past that turned out to be real labeled them "fun" or "predictions".
Also, the logos do not mean they'll be wolves.
There are plenty of people who suggested -insert zodiac animal here- and fire type. Let's get that straight.How can grass spider be argued? Or Scandinavia? Those completely end the rumor. There were tons of people predicting a fire bunny, and UK region.
That rumour that got the region location and species of 1 of the Starter Pokémon wrong?Mmmm...
There's something in that 4chan rumor ...
I understand that serebii also have doubts ...
I dont know...
once and never touch it again. the Game Freak way!How would you implement the armoured evoultions mechanic if it ends up being true?
What? It gets several incredibly fundamental things wrong, and the two things it gets right are generally easily-guessable.Mmmm...

Leaks are not always perfect, right?That rumour that got the region location and species of 1 of the Starter Pokémon wrong?
