Jonneh from GameXplain and a moderator at Resetera suddenly tweeted this out a while ago. We suspected in the past that he might be in the know because he predicted correctly a bunch of thing from last year September direct and was VERY spots on. For him to suddenly tweet this as well as PixelPar's tweet. Could something be happening soon?

He clarified it wasn't a hint at anything.

Hmmm, the Capybara is a mammal native to South America. South American region confirmed LOL For real though Japan has a park that raises them so its nothing unusual.

It would be awesome a game here in South America! Brazil, for example, besides the mix of cultures, is also a great place for biome diversity. There is the Amazon Forest, Beaches, Mountains, Rivers and Waterfalls, there are even places that have snow! ^0^
But for now, that's enough of the sea and tropical places for me (Alola and the remakes of Hoenn made me tired of this haha).

PS.: My city (Belo Horizonte, Brazil) is well known for the Capybaras (for better or worse), there is over 50 of them in the Lake Pampulha, close to the Mineirão Stadium, the place where Brazil lost with score 7-1 to Germany in 2014 :<

"Creatures has eliminated the tweet in which two employees visited the Yasukuni Sanctuary.

In this sanctuary, among thousands of deads, are the bodies of 14 criminals of World War II.

Some people have asked for a Pokémon boycott for doing that."

Man, my translation skills are rusty...

Well? What did you expect from a game where you bait animals to fight one and another. You might as well go back to gladiators or throw rocks at each other. Senseless violence is all that mankind craves to prevent the slow suffocation of boredom.

So sad, and yet, so true.

In case you don't know, the Yasukuni Shrine is a memorial to Japanese soldiers killed in battle between 1867 and 1951. A total of 1068 war criminals are enshrined there, and 14 of them are Class A, the worst kind of war criminal. Of the 14 Class A war criminals enshrined at Yasukuni, 7 were executed by hanging, 4 were sentenced to life imprisonment, 1 was sentenced to a 20 year sentence, and the remaining 2 died before they could be sentenced.

That's very interesting to know. I was just responding to the boycott thing.

If "Pokemon A" is a new pokemon, since the plush is set to be revealed at the end of january, It would mean an official reveal of the pokemon would have to come within the next two weeks.

Doesn't exactly mean a game announcement but we do have things to maybe look forward to in the very short term. I'm still pretty interested in vegetablecookin's rumor. While it's true that maybe he got fed false info, he's usually pretty transparent and seems to believe in his source saying that the trailers were currently being translated into different languages. It really does feel like we're almost there.

It's still crazy to me that around this time last year we were debating whether or not we were getting games in 2018 skjfskfsj

Well we already know that Pokemon A is Mewtwo-related, so it could just be a movie spoiler and not a new pokemon... if I recall right, it comes from the same anime-centric set as Lana's eevee with the funky hair. So we may see a reveal soon, but not a new game reveal...

I thought "pokemon A" was something separate from the mewtwo related reveal? watching Paul's video on it he mentions that the takara tomy figure is the mewtwo related one while "Pokemon A/plush" is something else, though I could be mistaken
 
There was a placeholder right next to Pokemon from the show rather than the movie, including Meltan. I am not sure why Paul didn't mention Melmetal as a possibility when it's the most logical one.

Oh crap, what sort of mess has Creatures got itself into now?

Politics and Pokemon don't mix please thanks.
 
Also, even being a new Pokémon or a new form doesn't necessarily mean that it will be followed by an announcement. They can use it to "soften" a dry period.

Honestly, I don't care about when the announcement will be made. But I believe the most logical thing to do is to show something on this week (early January).

I think that if nothing is shown on this week, they can still show us a teaser when the January Direct happens (by next week maybe), but it will means we'll only have the first trailer at late April or early May imo, because of the live action.

The game is probably in the final stage of development, the translation started in December, and it would be much more advantageous for them to show the first trailer by now (for all the reasons I mentioned pages ago). The only way I see them changing that would be to push the game closer to live action, I think.

It is also much more beneficial if they show gameplay since they need to show what the Switch is capable of with Pokemon games. Having the Sun and Moon-type of announcement isn't enough to get players to move on from the 3DS, basically, they just need to show how the game looks in order to get more people interested.
 
someone posted this on 4chan, it would be the green tanuki textures, I'm still skeptical
