Blaine the Train: Aug 18, 2006; Choo choo, pardner.

I really hope that list is real because if so there's some really neat stuff on it.

One detail I did notice is you have two water/psychic lines on there right next to each other, Bruxish and Peskool, which, if this IS real, would lead me to believe they're version exclusives, since they've been keeping those right next to each other in the Dex in recent gens, a la Spritzee/Swirlix and Clauncher/Skrelp. It's probably just me but this feels like a detail someone making poo poo up wouldn't even bother to consider. That and names like SWINDLEWT have that kind of "this is a really awkward and bad play on words" quality that we usually see.

That being said, it's just me being hopeful because poo poo, there's an Ice/Fighting Yeti on there and I really want that to exist. :shobon:

I guess we'll know one way or the other on the 12th.

Unless all they show that day is a feature on Z-Moves. :argh:

Pretzel Rod Serling: Aug 6, 2008

I think the leak is fake because so long as the game progression remains linear it wouldn't make sense for there to be four evolutions for the starters on the basis of which island they evolve. Most players would hit level 36 (or whatever) on the second or third island and never see the remainder of the evolutions.

With that said, they could actually go for nonlinear progression this time what with Rotomdex's little bottom screen map helping along younger players who need it, and just block off higher-level areas of each island with trial checks sort of like the badge gates leading up to all other games' Elites Four. That would be pretty cool, but I don't think there's any evidence pointing in that direction, so at this point I'm comfortable writing it off. Would love to be wrong and go island-hopping, though.

Didn't that other leak say that Malshadow (or whatever) was supposed to have a "very unique typing?"

It did, but upon consideration Fire and Dark make a lot of sense for an Eclipse Pok�mon.

The leaks kind of make sense.

"The starters and Rockruff share a secret" = Z-Attacks aren't unique to them. But variant typings based on some factor ARE. Which would definitely be cool.

Where was this from again? I remember that phrase, but not where it came from.

The leaks are saying they have two forms, depending on either which island they evolve on or what time of day they evolve.

Someone on /vp/ was nice enough to gather all the 'trusted' leaks together. I guess we'll see how much more of these are true on Friday.

The various refers to things that have different types, similar to the dancing bird.

They like to round stuff up to 'kinda right.'

This said pokemon would transform, but they don't transform. Eh, kinda right.

That leak is fake because they wouldn't use the literal Spanish word for dolphin (delfin) as a Pokemon name. Specially bc Spanish and English translations use the same names.

You have to equip an item to a Pokemon to use them, so it's probably like Mega Evolutions

The list has some neat ideas, like an alternate "spoiled" evolution for the mangosteen, but I'm having flashbacks to the XY leaks with stuff like " this dragon starts nasty but gets cuter as it evolves". What's so special about this week that would confirm/deny it?

On the 12th we're getting another infodump video thing, so any new Pokemon reveals would confirm or deny the whole list if the names/concepts match or not

edit: I had a brain fart. Okay yeah it's just a 80% change for females and 20% chance for males to pass abilities down. :eng99:

Random, unless you use an Everstone. It changes the chances of passing the holding parent's ability to 50% for females, and 20% for males.

I thought the Everstone was the 100% pass down Nature?

Yeah. Everstone is Nature, Destiny knot brings you from 2IVs to 5IVs and some of the Incense items are required for baby mons.

Leaker posted:

Robinroot: Grass/Flying, Grass, Grass/Ground, Grass/Electric

Beltigre: Fire/Dark, Fire, Fire/Ghost, Fire/Poison

Sirene: Water/Fairy, Water, Water/Fighting, Water/Psychic

Weruff: Rock/Dark, Rock/Fighting, Rock/Steel, Rock/Fairy

Porprise: Water/Ice, Water/Steel, Water/Fairy, Water/Dragon

Darline/Darwisker: the fabled breed cats. Normal/Anything.

Snohom/Snorror, Rugrilla, Delfin/Porprise, Fungkie/Hallucid, Cumbersum/Anenemie all got mentions in previous leaks as well.

Malshadow has some kind of type-shifting ability, but i don't know any more on that at this time.

Hopefully the different types have some visual indication otherwise these suckers are going to be a headache to fight against

Someone put the pastebin list in a more pleasant to read format:

#769 might lead to some controversy with that name and typing... :eek:

#776 contains a typo that was also in the pastebin list: the official English name only has one k. Could be an honest mistake, or point to the list being fake.

Grass/Electric is far and away the best typing for Robinroot there. It has one less weakness than neutral Grass and no 4x weaknesses. For Beltigre all of the types are more less alright depending on what you're going for. For Sirene Water/Fairy is the absolute best, followed by monotype Water.
