The hills have eyes? Interesting hint !

 

[Joker901]

I just realized that it's not a golf field. Those are motocars. I googled indian motocars and this showed up:

Does jungle2jungle reference just mean the jungle boy calle silvan.

I made a list of the things we have to investigate:

- Two snakes which apparently are brothers. One has wings (inner strenght personification), the other has lights on it and apparently takes care of abyss creatures. (cooperative spirit personification). (Flying and water?)
- Two eeveelutions hinted through a rock and a kyte (flying and rock?). Behind them there's a pyramid.
- There's an airport that brings somewhere in America. Over the American flag there's a wormhole (Alola?)
- There's a picture of Buddha with a pokeball. (India/Sril Lanka region?).
- There's a golf field. (Kahili somehow?)
- Evil team is building a huge town so to attract people from the villages and empty the island.
- Turbo mechanic (stats boost for weaker pokémon).
- A picture with flying lanterns.
- Two unknown hints: Hills have eyes and Jungle2Jungle. (what could these mean?)

If there's something missing, add it.

P.s. The leaker ended the post like this: "Best Wishes guys". Is this a hint at BW or at a reboot?

Yeah the Best Wishes with capital letters have to be some sort of hint at something Unova-y.
Skyla has her own plane and airport. Could she be back?
Or is the America hinting at Unova and not Alola.

OR! is BestWishes a hint at what kind of Reboot it will be, aka BW style.

The huge city trying to attract villagers to move draws to mind innovation vs. tradition, so that could be a connection.

I don't think so. There are snakes in the poster of that movie. Probably is something related to the legends plot.

. The bipedal ones like Infernape or Greninja are the ones that get far more screentime than their teammates.

Ash's Charizard - Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia

. Smash benefits all parties involved since it 's all just a marketing ploy to get people to buy the characters games.

Then it makes even less sense to design with Smash in mind. They're going to design Pokemon for Smash to then get people to buy the game the Pokemon originally appeared in? If the end goal is getting people to buy Pokemon games, then it'd be better to just ignore what sells well in Smash.

. Ivysaur was only chosen to fil a quota but Sakurai originally wanted Blastoise and in four settled for Zard

Sakurai is only one person. Just because he wanted one Pokemon doesn't mean everyone else was unhappy with Charizard.

Wow, look at all those unconfirmed leaks.

But they do seem to point in a similar direction: a reboot of the series.

While it's true lots of them reference a reboot, they also make completely contradictory statements from each other. They can't all be true, so some leaks have to be lying-meaning they're not really evidence for or against a reboot occurring.

If patterns don't exist anymore, than why can't Zeraora be a cross-gen Pokemon?

What do you mean by cross-gen? If you mean "can be obtained in Gen 7 and Gen 8", then isn't every Pokemon a cross-gen Pokemon?

Let´s have fun /vp/ - Few but safe info - Pokémon - 4chan

It does seem more credible than most, but there's a few things I find odd:

> Snakes brothers (1 bad, 1 good and vice versa)

Vice versa? As in, 1 bad, 1 good, and 1 good, 1 bad? (That's the only thing I can see that's reversible) Why not say two bad and two good?


As one user in the thread pointed out:

>to come back here only in case i had few more details
>and i am not intended to attire attention with too many details.
>huge town so to attract people from the village
>you'll know that these info are genuine
And your're paid as a translator? Dear God please be fake. Please.

I know he doesn't claim to translate the games into English, but I would think a professional translator would recognize the importance of being able to communicate clearly. Why leak information in a language you're not fluent in?

Further down the thread, there's this mechanic mentioned:

New Info:
>Overgrow, Blaze, and Torrent have been revamped, now applies to ALL pokemon, and moves of either of their types gets boosted at 1/3 HP.
>Starters now have a flat 1.25x boost for grass/fire/water moves

See a problem here? STAB is 1.5x-so why on earth would starters get an exclusively weaker STAB?

 

[BlindCaptainDrip]

I feel the Eevee stuff is going to be multiple evolution trees for old Pokemon..

 

[PinkIceFox]

I wouldn't mind older pokemon getting some new evolutions again. So long as those evolutions don't involve trading requirements. >8(

Which relates to so called chosen one, Silvan?

Um... It was fairly obviously that was just a random person and not OP..

"Chosen one"...you mean plus and minus rumor about our friend being the chosen one?

 

[Tarotkung]

The french tittle for: Jungle 2 Jungle, was (Un indien dans la ville) or Little indian, Big city. That´s funny.

 

[TechSkylander1518]

Can you show me how to tell? I don't know how to see IP addresses there.

That part was not by Piuk, or however he is called, it has by a random person, so might as well ignore that part.

Edit: Ninja(ask)'d by Thanos

Oh just look at the name, it says anonymous not Piuk.

I thought that was part of the Piuk rumours.

I googled "biggest city of India/Sri Lanka" and I found the image used by the leaker to rapresent the city. It's Colombo coastline (Sri Lanka). I also found this article about China's project to build a city there.
China to build Colombo *** under ‘Belt and Road Initiative’
