Official Pre-Pokémon Sword & Pokémon Shield Speculation & Leaks thread

That Pixelpar tweet, omg.

In all seriousness though guys... I wonder if that picture might have another clue? I've seen a few comments suggesting that Verlis's level 16 represents the 16th, which was when Pixelpar lost the bet. Pixel is at level 25, and somebody on here mentioned the 25th as a possible date, which is funny considering the investor's meeting is the day after.

I do wonder about the 25th- it would make sense, in a way, if they wanted to get a release date announcement ahead of the meeting so we wouldn't be getting the news via the fiscal year earnings release instead.

Nice detective skills

I'm so hyped

Ok ok here's the skinny.....I still don't think we'll get an announcement before mid-late May. That said........in 2014 we got an ORAS announcement the day before (or maybe of?) the Nintendo investors meeting......don't get too excited people lol

Psh, I'm not too excited- who's too excited? *runs to mark the date on her calendar*

Seriously, though, keeping my hype level relatively low because we'll probably just get a date and maybe names at most. XD ...granted, at this point, that is a little too exciting, even more than when Sun and Moon did it.

Where do you heard that? On that video that I just put minutes ago?

I'm talking about the video called "THE TRUTH Behind The Pokémon Switch Codename: Beluga Leak!", which I won't post for obvious reasons. An entire video where he just insults Pixelpar but using his "leaked" codename in the title (with a big "truth" that it's just Verlisify truth) and with a picture as teaser with Dawn asking "Antartic Region Leak?". Basically he insulted Pixelpar and at the same time he used Pixelpar "fake" informations for clickbait. Is there anything worse than this around?

 

[Silktree]

"Antartic Region Leak?".

You'd have to be pretty dumb to believe that.

So what do Lapras and Blastoise have in common? They're both Kanto monsters, but the Ubisoft guy said that's not what the picture is meant to hint at. They're both water-types. I'm not sure if that means anything, but it could.

The two things that stuck out to me most immediately were 1. They're both blue, and we had just today been reevaluating the Indigo rumor. I suppose if you were going to make another Kanto game, that title makes some sense. And 2. the fact that a credible leaker is using Lapras in his hint recalled the possibly leaked screenshot as well as the more recent Lapras-related Pokemon tweets.

I'm not sure what to think of it, but I have to think there's something to why they're using those two out of all Pokemon. It seems to be saying more than just "there is a Pokemon game."

Well, Blastoise was my first starter and I was so proud of it. It could also surf like Lapras. Maybe the hint is that in the next games we can only choose our starters among three squirtle?

P.s. As always, 7.8 too much water.

Let me ask you something: had you watched this video made by Verlisify? Here's the video:

No. Not to be rude but i dont want to endorse any verlisify video at all he is a hypocrite and most of his videos are clickbait also that video alone was very controversial enough and proven to be false since most of the time the spanish magazine hypes things that are not official

Hmmm, they're both water-types...

Probably not right, but this makes me think that it would be neat if we got a water region. Not like Alola, but more like Venice with its many waterways.

Let me tell you something: Verlisify is NOT a biggest fake news clickbaiter on YouTube. Accounting to Verlisify himself, Aero release this "news" about Pokémon eighth generation game is official but actually he really took Verlisify's video and claimed it as his own without mentioning Verlisify nor anyone else.

Also dude dont argue here about verlisify drama he is toxic to the community and always looking for drama lets make this forum clean of that furry(not an insult since he claims to be one) and continue with the topic

smh, at this point i don't take anyone seriously, both pixelpar and verlis are trash and just wants attention.
the only thing that might be something is about the ubisoft guy

 

[William-Jdubz]

Could that hint about Lapras and Blastoise be about pokemon rumble ? The nanoblock Blastoise and Lapras are toys, and pokemon rumble is a game about pokemon toys, and a potential pokemon rumble trade mark or something was hinted way back by serebii. I feel this is what the hint is telling us.

What's interesting about this is that it's being widely speculated that these games are going to be set in Kanto as a reboot, and ORAS were simple remakes.

Random observation, but Pokeshopper's tweets have mysteriously disappeared. Did I miss something?

Maybe ubisoft develops this side game?

I think referrng to Pixelpar as trash is a little too harsh. He's been transparent to everybody, what's happening is people have taken his posts as gospel and then whine when they don't get what they want.

that's my opinion, and idc if people agree about it or not.
i think i saw enough to make him untrustworthy, at least for me.

 

[William-Jdubz]

I agree, just checked out his account, he seems to be french Ubisoft is french and he has worked for them previously, wouldn't be surprised if Ubisoft helped with rumble when they have worked with other Nintendo Franchises before. This person also has worked on Mario and Rabbits, so this is a industry insider who has worked on a Switch game giving him some credibility.

So apparently Paul Ryan will no longer be tweeting about merchandise reveals.

It's a shame because it was fun to speculate on and generally gave us good indication on when to expect news drops, but it's understandable given he's been under attack by 4chan and some of the community ever since the eevee merch.

Ugh people just have to ruin good things.

At least the regular Pokeshopper twitter is still public, so we should still see those mystery reveals in the future? I mean the site is still open too, of course, but the twitter loads faster for me.
