This is the rumor mill. We pick and choose our shady sources with no back up whatsoever.

So what I'm saying is your source (Emily Rodgers, no less!) has no credulity over this KI rumor.
ok fair enough,she even changed her "mind" on what she said

so maybe that KI rumor holds some water who knows

What's on this page?

. . .Oh, happy_nintendo?

I'd love a new Kid Icarus game as much as anyone else but NeoGaf seems to think they're faker than fake from what I've read.

I'm not getting my hopes up but I'm A-OK if I'm wrong about us not getting a new Kid Icarus game yet.

For the record, it's not like Sakurai is the ONLY one who would be interested to use the IP, it's just that the first revival attempt last generation was by a smaller studio and got canned.

Someone might take up the mantle eventually, I just don't expect it to be Retro since that's everyone's go-to fantasy studio. If we're lucky we might get something later in the generation, since I don't expect them to be working on it right now but if the system really is a hybrid then without having to make two versions of several IPs some of the developers might have more spare time down the road. . .

Chrono. Chrono. I don't know but I'm sure Retro doesn't want to be stuck with one IP forever. But what I've said isn't based off anything and more of a personal feeling.

I don't know what to say.... Wishiwashi I could totally see, That raichu is pretty cool though. I like the type and the way it's tails a surf board. These show no major errors so I don't know about validity. Hope it's real. I want that raichu. At the same time, he's ignored, so it be surprising to see this. Hope it's real though.

Welp; if this is true, Alolan Raichu is our first Electric/Psychic Pokemon, which I honestly wouldn't mind since Raichu needs more love anyway. The fact Electric Psychic as a dual type can resist Steel, Flying, Electric, Fighting, and Psychic gives it key resistances to some pretty high damaging types (specifically to Flying and Fighting and perhaps Psychic), despite it having weaknesses to Ground, Bug, Ghost, and Dark (which could probably be solved with a Dark/Ice Type as a partner or maybe Ice Punch/Knock Off if it can learn both of those moves).

Well, based on an interview from after Tropical Freeze I'm guessing they'd be happy to work on both of the IPs they have before but that's simply not what's on their plate right now.

And I mean, it's technically two. But it'll certainly be interesting to see what they do with something that isn't a fountain of Super Nintendo nostalgia for people.

The pics are clean, the fish's artwork is clean and like the Corocoro leak and the models look legit. The problem?
It's not blurry, not at a 30 degree angle and what the **** is a Raichu?

No way, Gamefreak actually acknowledging Raichu's existence?

Who are they and what have they done to Gamefreak?

It looks pretty real though, guess we'll have to wait and see.....

I had someone say "How dare you say this movie is bad! I bet you can't make something better"

The irony being that both comments were left in the comment section of an animation critic that can't animate.

If I have no right to say a movie is bad, the critic himself has no right either

FAKE Raichu would never get anything

It's almost certainly real with that quality

Looks like Surfing Pikachu is back with a vengeance. Happy to see Raichu get some spotlight.

Well, if it's fake, they did put a ton of effort into them (and going through Sm4sh pre-release fakes, that's nothing new)

It reminds me of that one episode
with that one surfing Pikachu with the blue eyes.
Didn't that one have psychic abilities too? I don't quite recall....

"Innards Out" I just chuckled at that.

Still wow, this generation has been so leaky.

Once again, I blame China.
If it's real, why is there no picture for the school form?

No, it was an otherwise regular pikachu that had the move "Surf"

i say its real because this

if you zoom in is too clear and you can see more of its left/right eye in the art than you could in the corocoro scan

It has definitely got to be inspired by that. Which is amazing! Awhile back I said that was one Alolan form that needs to happen and it seems to be!

Also Serebii posted the leaks, so they are pretty much real. Noww we wait for Japan to leak the trailer early like last time.

This makes it the 6th Sun and Moon has had major info leaked. What the hell is happening at Gamefreak?

I hope it's true. The poor guy deserves some limelight after being ignored for so so long.

And this ad popped up.

Looking back, this really IS the most leaked generation by far.

I don't remember Gen 4 getting anything leaked, Gen 5 had it's entire dex leaked but that was a mere 2 weeks before the games came out, Gen 6 only really got "leaked" by the people who had the game early (blame Canadians).

I'm enoying the leaks to be honest. Never had an issue with spoilers except plot related ones, so eh.

You don't want to know what the slang "Pika" means in portuguese then
Or what "chu" means in Hindi. Yeah. Let's leave it at that. :p

OK guys, I admit it, I made those leaks, I just wanted attention.

I hope you visit my new Youtube channel, Pokémonified.
You joke but thanks to Artsy/Smashified and the copycats that came after them, this is never gonna work again.

Or at least whoever does it is not gonna be anywhere near as successful, especially with all the decent to good DA accounts who make fakes in Sugimori style.
