Besides the massive retyping and only 40 new pokemon (big yikes to both) I think I like this one.

Yum, another leak to dissect (my thoughts in Bold):
I work helping with the international releases. That's all I'm willing to say, as there's a microscope over every department right now making sure nothing leaks before the big reveal.
That's still endangering your job.
* We don't know the titles yet and wont until just before the reveal. There's mock-up art with placeholders, but no version names yet. Everything's ready to be typed in and published. Given the theme of the game, King/Queen & Crown/Scepter are appropriate.
Not again. At this point I want the game as far from the UK as possible.
* The game takes place in a "near-future" western medieval country. UK was an influence, but there are prominent Italian/Roman elements. They want to avoid it being too similar to Kalos. Most major game changes are explained away by technology/human influence on Pokemon over time.
I have a bad feeling about this...
* The secret Team/Gang this time is a conservative/traditionalist faction, feeling the world and Pokemon are becoming too numerous and out of control. Men wear goofy powdered wigs and suits, women in Victorian gowns with fancy hair. Leader is referred to as royalty.
This may beat Team Flare as the team with the most ridiculous appearance.
* Massive overhaul and rebalance of the Pokemon. A lot of the Gen 1-2 mons have been retyped, and there are now only 16 types. Some weakness/resists have been changed. Bank still works but is like a reverse time capsule. Mons downloaded to Gen 8 are converted, given a special marker, and are unable to be sent back to previous games.
Yeah, right. I doubt they will ever do this.
* Related to above, there was a strong push with the new Switch engine to redo how pokemon data is stored, including data encryption. Team is very aware of programs like PKHex. Strong culture shift to make the game viable for "professional" competitions.
If there's something I know about Pokémon hackers, is that doing that won't stop them. In fact, they will take that as a challenge.
* Lowest number of mons added, around 40, but regional variants from Gens 2-3. A lot of Steel types. Theme is "mutation" or "enhancement" so there are several new weird type combinations. Many ideas have been scrapped for being "too similar" to other mons.
A region full of Steel Pokémon? No, just, no... Also, being too similar to other Pokémon has not stopped Game Freak of including them. In fact, with the exception of the flower rabbit and the Dolly Pokémon, most of the excluded Pokémon don't have an exact reason of exclusion.
* Longest part of development has been rebuilding the engine. Let's Go was a test, which is why stuff was cut and recycled.
And this is were the leak fails. Held items and abilities were not cut from LGPE, they were just disabled. This is why we know Meltan and Melmetal's abilities.
I sincerely doubt they will overhaul the system like they are doing, specially when Game Freak has been given the chance to change things but they have not. I guess it's because they want to keep things more or less consistent unless they add a major change like megas or a new type.
Removing two types? Requiring not only a retcon of every one of those Pokemon (which would have been designed with the type in mind-the only exceptions are the Magnemite line and the retyped Fairy-types), but also that of every type specialist, every move (also designed with that in mind), and removing two Z-Moves, just after creating them? No way that'd happen!* Massive overhaul and rebalance of the Pokemon. A lot of the Gen 1-2 mons have been retyped, and there are now only 16 types.
How come nobody (except Prog)'s pointing out this one?

My thoughts are Rock and ground will be fused into earth type, and then normal/fighting or fairy/psychic idkI guess the idea behind that was having those types consolidated or absorbed into one of the other 16. I could actually see Ice being absorbed into Water, but then its offensive potential would be wasted. Aside from that, there isn't much else unless Rock/Ground were merged into Earthbending type or whatever.
Gotta hand it to them for being a little original at least. Not every day you hear a "leak" talking about removing types, it's always adding some. XD

Is there supposed to be something special at the end of their stream?
They said they would explain at the end, because I feel I got tricked. I wanted Spaceworld info, not a Blue hack with beta elements.Spaceworld one? Seems like a Gen 1 Beta stream, I was following the 4chan thread and there is only disappointment and Groudons.
There might (as in slim chance) be, but I don't have the fortitude for 3 hours.
You got me. It is I, heiress of clan Gamefreak. Next games are pokemon stuffed and pokemon famished.
sigh This is reaching 90's Final Fantasy fandom levels of insanity.This conspiracy is next level shit and kinda getting out of hand.
Saw this collection on twitter XD
