Hello everyone!!

So in light of the impending release of PLZA, we have decided to set up this release window thread that can be used as general discussion to talk about the datamine and leaks.

This thread isn't to replace our current spoiler policy. We are still encouraging folks to start their own threads to discuss spoilers. But you can use this thread to share screenshots, information and in general: get hyped about the games!!

That said though, we do want to set some ground rules that affect this thread as well as any other thread in the PLZA subforum that discusses spoilers moving forward:

1) We are aware that some screenshots and video of the game that are being circulated are using harmful language and flaming of broader community members to "watermark" the images. Please don't post these watermarked images to Bulbagarden. You can cross the harmful language out, however they should be completely unreadable. If the language is still easily discernible, the mod team has the discretion to remove even the censored versions.
2) As outlined in our current rules: Please do not post links to 4chan, nor discuss any drama regarding leakers.
3) AI edited material will be removed per our AI policy.
4) Please do not to upload leaked material directly to Bulbagarden servers, this is to avoid copyright strikes. Second hand uploads like youtube videos, tweets, articles etc. will be fine. We recommend uploading to sites such as Postimages or Filegarden (Imgur is not recommended due to it being blocked in the UK.)
5) This thread is for discussing spoilers only, if you would like to discuss story spoilers please make a separate thread!

Additionally: This thread will be locked upon release of PLZA in Japan (UTC +9) From there, please feel free to continue discussing the games following our spoiler policy outlined here.

With all that said: Have fun, stay safe and enjoy!! We're almost there y'all!!

I got confirmation of Mega Megi and heard that it's Grass/Fairy. That's all I wanted out of life.

Design isn't quite what I expected or wanted but still like it.

I’m with you tbh!!
the design isn’t really what I wanted, it feels a little underwhelming but that’s kind of coming around full circle for me and making me more endeared to it. She’s always getting the short end of the stick and that remaining true here only reaffirms that she’s my favorite underdog and that I’ll love her no matter how goofy the new stuff they give her is LOL

REAL.

Grass/Fairy is such a good typing, I really hope this is the Chikorita renaissance!!

How I've been feeling all day. If you know, you know.

I'm so happy Meganium will finally have a good offensive type. Kind of sad it will only help in games with Mega Evolution.
But still.
My girl will finally be able to knock bosses out.

Grass/Fairy typing might be the winning ticket for me to ultimately decide Chikorita over Tepig

I just need to see clearer images of em both. I'm not crazy about Meganium's Mega but it isn't a deal breaker, so we'll see what happens.

Speaking of needing clearer images, holy crap, if the rest of the design is as tight as that headshot, Scolipede may have the potential to have one the best megas period. Already was gonna prioritize it on my team cuz Scolipede is already a personal friend, but now I'm even more excited

For what it's worth, it seems like the people that have been in the know for the past few months have labeled Scolipede as one of the consensus most traditionally cool Megas alongside Emboar, Barbaracle and, before it was officially revealed, Hawlucha. Ultimately just the subjective opinion of a small cabal of insiders but still, it's encouraging for the Scoligang!

This makes me unreasonably excited for Barbaracle. It’s such a Toku kaijin already, it really deserves to get crazier. I might actually use one this time…..

do we know the megas for Emboar & Feralagatr?
Click to expand...

Yes we do! I don’t have any images to link to for you, unfortunately, but they are out there!
Feraligatr is looking pretty goofy (positive to me) and Emboar is looking like it’s gonna for sure be the breakaway “cool one” star that most people end up loving.

Oh man, Mega Feraligatr's animation is incredible??? I am so enamored by its hood making it look like a giant Totodile/Substitute Doll.

WAIT WHAT
I haven’t seen it in motion yet!! Only with the hood up!! That sounds incredible!!!
 
Mega Barbaracle doing the Freeza pose and 216 Special Attack Zygarde to nuke mfs with Core Enforcer I kneel

Those two and Scolipede are my favorites as of now
 
It turns out it’s indeed not gender-locked. Also, when you pick your appearance, it seems like you can’t change your hairstyle before starting the Game. However, you can change its color and change everything except lipstick about your face - eyelashes aren’t gender-locked either. Only 3 eyebrow options, confirmation of freckles and a brand new face customization option which gives you eyebags.

Game Freak, why?! Why no Mega Flygon, when previous fanart Mega Dragonites had Dragonair features?! I mean, you can remove gender locks but giving a Mega to a Pokémon many fans already wanted 10 years ago is too much?!

Then who is the Pokémon with the green and orange Mega stone?
