I would agree, but the thing with the Bewear leak is that for all it gets right in other areas, it seems to have a bad track record with the actual Alolan forms. Of the two that are confirmed and are on its list, Ninetales wasn't Fire type, and it missed the Normal typing of Raticate. Of the rest, along with Arcanine, the Abra line and the Butterfree line were all seen around Alola, with Alakazam being used in the recent trailer against Type: Null and Butterfree being seen across multiple, including the most recent one. So that's two Pokémon that it flubbed some details on, and three that are implied to not have Alolan forms within the games. So it's not like there isn't reasonable doubt to believe that he flubbed on the details here, and it's especially the case since two official sources have now implied that Arcanine doesn't get an Alolan form.Call me skeptical. The leak that mentioned an Alolan Arcanine has been extremely reliable on basic stuff so far--its only mistakes have been small details like missing one of the Alolan Forms' types. If it says there's an alternate Arcanine, there's reason to believe it, even if it might not be pure Water.
Plus, I've heard of people elsewhere questioning that the website really does debunk the chance of Alolan Forms happening. I forget the exact logic, but...
I would like to see Alolan Arcanine myself, I was warming up to the idea after my initial disbelief and I really wanted to see how they pulled it off, but more and more information is just not aligning for that scenario. I could be mistaken, but I feel there's good reason to consider that the rumor just got that detail wrong. It doesn't detract from what he's gotten right, but it does mean you can't take everything he says to be true. We already experienced that with both the Gematsu and XY leaks, which also got details wrong, so this may just as well be another case of that.
