This leak has really rejuvenated the dead Verge, box, Kencineroar-centric discussion. And for that I'm grateful.
The issue is, it's so explosive, and with so many variables, that I think we're all getting overwhelmed with too much info now as opposed to to little information. The amount of argumentation and debate is also dialed up to 10 now, at most the box discussion probably got to a 6 or 7 then died down, with spurts of necromancing the stale discussion just to die again.
Ironically, this leak is probably going to make the wait for official word even that more difficult than just a plain info drought with a multitude of ****ty leaks.
I really really really REALLY hope this is real but there are a lot of factors for both sides and the team fake arguments have shaken my faith a little. But I'm choosing to continue believing it for now. If the leak is true, I'm extremely hyped and grateful that the leak came out so we could know, since Nintendo has been slowassing this and stringing us along way too long. If it's fake, it'll reallllly suck but based on who does make it, I'll be varying levels of pleased or upset. Obviously only official word can 100% confirm or deconfirm.
