Eduardo has all these details about what he thinks Gen 8 will be like, going on and on about how the main legendaries could be tied in with electromagnets and the games could introduce a group of seven based on the rainbow... but his only basis in canon is the fact that a journal referenced starmaps? Sure, they could be interesting concepts, but "they referenced stars" is hardly a canon basis. By the same logic, I could say that the next legendaries are going to have themes of group effort vs individuality, with the cover legendaries representing this concept, and will introduce a group of Pokemon based on different nations and their national animals-because the player character moved from another region, so they referenced national identity.
And he's basing too much on Christian theology. He ties in Arceus when Arceus was never based on the Christian God to begin with and talks about seven being a holy number despite all the missed opportunities in Gen 7 to play off that. (Dex number 777, seventh generation, Necrozma and its rainbow light, etc)
We had four games in Japan, one in the US, one in France, and another in the US. There's no pattern here, unless you want to say that they'd repeat in a cycle of seven-in which case our next game would be Japan.
The UK isn't Paris. France is entirely separate from the UK.
They didn't "completely overhaul" it-they removed abilities and held items. It's simplifying, sure, but what about IV/EVs and stats? Those are more of a basic system that didn't get overhauled.
They have the Pokemon designed and just sat on them while they worked on Gen 7?
And look at the design of the starters-two are described as elemental humanoids while Fire is still a quadruped animal. If they were going to be so different in the starters' design, why did they only do that with two out of three?
So as long as a leak puts in enough detail, it seems real? What about Piuk's leaks? Or Pokemon Marble?
"Maybe this concept from four years ago will return"
Even if we want to say that two players is enough to be called a massively multiplayer game (it's not), Geno specifically said this could only be found in the Terminal-Co-Op is all over the region.
Of course they'll have Bank support-that's the point of Bank. Guessing that is as impressive as guessing that online features will return.
What is it about +- that makes it stay around for so long? We could stretch any other leak to try to seem true just as well. (Maybe Meltan looks like a pink whale if it transforms in the right lighting?) Is it the fact that it was put on a news blog? Take a look at the articles written by the author who shared Geno's words. He's terrible at recognizing fakes-just look at what he thought the Switch would look like:
