Looks like I might end up getting both of these this time, especially if the Paradox ‘mons are all one-offs.

We know pretty much nothing about these so that's not a given. You could get several of most ultra beasts though.

It's weird that Nintendo always goes after the leakers hard when it starts in earnest the week or so before release, because the leaks always get me hyped up for the new game and make me really want to buy it. This time is no exception

(I mean I know it's for copyright or whatever other corporate reason but the reveals definitely make me more likely to buy the game at release as opposed to waiting, which is presumably something Nintendo would want)

The leaks are the only reason I have excitement for the game, the official marketing has been awful. Especially wrt to some story twists, though that's slightly more understandable to keep hidden. But show off all the drat mons :argh:

I am probably going to go grass starter. The concept of the last form it has makes me smile, also its stats makes it seem like it would be a nice special attacker.

The leaks state that you can get as many of them as you want.

Big L for customization, as it looks like we have a 'uniform' slot as part of character customization, and the uniforms we've seen all look terrible after so much freedom in SuMo and SwSh.

We've heard from leaks and seen an icon of a pokemon that is a whole family of cute little white mice. All together. As one pokemon. It sounds cute as hell and it reflects poorly on the leakers that they're not making a priority of showing it to us.

Yeah this is what I'm talking about. Show me the mice!!!!!!

Theres one for the cover legendaries and paradoxes but I'm really not trusting any 4ch-spawned leaks (including the starter ones you mentioned) until verified elsewhere because there's already been several fake ones specifically posted to Le Epic Trolle centro

Absolutely. They're hyper word of mouth, and it's what got me to buy PLA in the first place. (the ROM dump got a friend of mine, who is very critical of stuff, to play and as soon as she said it was the best since BW2, I slammed that pre-order)

mecha Gallardevoir is at least better than base Gallade or Mega Gallade. Still not a fan of the entire pelvis situation but at least it's more understandable aesthetically.

I remember hearing that the paradox pokemon are one-offs in the sense that if they have other stages of evolution normally, they don't here. I hope, if that's the case, they make the ones that are typically pre-evolutions have good base stats so I can use Jigglypuff and Misdreavus since I'm excited for them.

All of them have the same bst, except for one in each game which is slightly higher

yeah just literally ignore what stage in evolution they are compared to their normal lines, gamefreak was very much going for certain aesthetics in what they wanted them to look like and otherwise made them fairly chunky standalone pokemon
