From ERA. Just a small insight into the whole insider whispers and rumors.
It really does seem like Incineroar will make or break this leak. But at the same time, we learned from Gemastu that outdated info could still be mixed in with present info, so its entirely possible that Incineroar was planned, worked on, or cut in favor of a gen 8 Pokemon as eventual DLC. The thing that strikes me the most is that if you’re gonna put this much effort into a fake leak, why not include Incineroar, who’s been heavily rumored? Him, Ken, and a Square character (Who’s most speculated to be Geno) are the the big three rumored right now, why leave out Incineroar? This leak is visually convincing and has a ton of background info to support it, but its clear the lack of Incineroar is what is causing confusion among other insiders who admit this could very well be real but it leaves out someone they repeatedly heard. It could be just to cause a ruckus, but the same goal could’ve been achieved with Incineroar in it.
At this point the leak is either fake, Incineroar was cut, or he was just blatantly force info sent out by Nintendo to weed out leakers. As I said earlier, we know Nintendo has been sending out false info to mess with people (Which is exactly how I think Loz **** the bed after E3. His info for E3 was so specific they probably found the people told him and they fed them false info). This is gonna be a tough ass wait, but I really do think this leak being real all depends on Incineroar at this point.
