Gen 8 being innovative would sort of fit with Game Freak recently saying that they'd like to do more with other games/IPs:

Yeah, they might be getting a bit tired of Pokemon development, but that's all the more reason to shake things up and try new stuff

I dunno though, these rumours could all just be for nothing: I can't predict ****, I'm not really Xatu

 

[SnakeFighter64]

I’m gonna lodge a prediction.....

Ok. I got nothing....

Amiibo support?

 

[Cutie Gwen]

So apparantly Shinobi is the only one implying Banjo is in Smash and nobody else has heard about that specifically

 

[Michele]

The leaks for Pokemon Sword and Shield, like the National Dex leak, are so BS. Not saying they're completely fake, but they don't look so believable......

And I see that papagenos has posted his video of a leaker telling him the things for Pokemon SWSH, the same leaker that predicted the last characters for Mario Tennis Ace. He doesn't look believable at all, because they were already easily predicted. Besides, his leak details for Pokemon contradicts a lot of things shown in the trailer, even one of the leaks on the internet.

But we'll see.

Also, is there a link to a site that tells me the complete list of 'leaks' or 'rumors' for every Pokemon games OR generation? A bit similar to how Smashwiki.com documents leaks and rumors of each Smash game?

I think serebii.net has a section on fake Pokemon designs (like 'here's the totallly legit evolution for Piplup guize!') though I dunno if it has more comprehensive details

God, why is it that all the starters are cute little puffballs, and then they evolve into a 10-year-Old boy’s dream. Like, why can’t they stay cute.

Doubt banjo is making it in.

Well, we’ll soon see. I highly doubt he will be here at all if he doesn’t show up at E3 so...

Given they were "hoping" for a Smashing time for the direct that announced Smash, I'm hoping it's real.

Wow. The only things holding Banjo back for me in terms of chances were verge's Minecraft info and no real reliable leaker support.

Now at least one of those are busted. He's no Erdrick, but this is pretty ****ing good.

You got some weird-ass selective memory, you know that?

Probably because Pokemon's main demographic is 10-year old boys

You know what.... you’re right. I legit forgot about them. The comment was spurred on by a picture of Piplup. I will say though, they’re not very cute. Just more feminine in design.

Verge was the only one shouting Incineroar during Grinch era. It's possible for only one guy to spearhead a character.

It's funny because I'm kind of with you. Banjo's been dead for so long to where I can't see them in a modern game now.

Seems E3 booths images are starting to leak.

@NerdOverNews vielleicht interessant 🙈 E3 und Nintendo Stand 🥰 pic.twitter.com/DnytHEw9VT

Why the **** is the Grinch back though?

EDIT: Looking closer, looks more like merchandise, not necessarily from E3.

Everyone knows you don’t just give kids what they want. You give them what you know is good for them dressed as something they like. If you just give them what they want, all they’ll get is junk and they fail to grow.

You speak the truth

I wanted Olimar in Brawl and I got Olimar in Brawl. And that's how I became a projectile spamming degenerate.

You do realize Pokemon is a multi billion dollar brand, right?

I don't think they really care about at the end of the day.

They just want to make sure they can nab the most money as possible. And to do that, you kinda have to please the crowd.

With all the merchandise for BK coming out near E3 and a brand extension agency listing BK as one of the IP they're working with, I'm really inclined to believe they'll be seen in a game again at E3.

That or MS really wants to start leveriging dead IP for merchandise.

I thought Nintendo was one of the few companies that actually did care. That’s what Arlo says anyway.

Nintendo isn't really the one in charge of Pokemon tho, they only own a 1/3 of it, alongside Creatures Inc. and Game Freak.

The Pokemon Company (A joint venture between the three) is likely the one in charge of business decisions

I just updated my Fighters Pass Prediction
I can't see why nobody thinks Banjo is coming anymore

I see....

I shall plant the seeds of a hostile takeover.

God, imagine if The Pokémon Company somehow separated from Nintendo and went multi-plat.

With what's been going the past 24 hours, almost everybody thinks they're coming now.

How has everyone been today?

 

[Metal Shop X]

I see Pokemon talks.

All I think is Furret.

(thank you redfeather for showing me the best pokemon)

I count this as a win

Like I said yesterday, BEAR HYYYYYYYYYYPE!!!

 

[Guybrush20X6]

If you need to pass time, switch on Ultimate, then play all the Metroid songs in the music player. That'll kill 52 minutes.

Will Sobble's evolution be a Nessie boi?

Posted that in the wrong thread...

I wonder if Smashboards meets all the requirements to legally be recognized as a sovereign nation?

OH!
I'd be really hyped for Banjo tbh

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Okay. I only occasionally watch this guys videos, and I don’t really like his content. But this thumbnail man...

The classic Banjo design was really made to look good on the N64, and all attempts to modernize it Mario style have failed spectacularly. That design in particular is especially bad. Kazooie looks like a Dr. Seuss Character and Banjo is way too Lanky.

 

[Deleted member]

I can't watch the Pokemon Direct on Nintendo's Site since my school restricts all Youtube Livestreams so I have to watch it on my favorite Smash Youtuber's Twitch stream instead

Imagine doing this same thing, but with Giratina. I mean... He does look scary, but in Pokemon Amie, he actually does look cute, even while you're trying to give it Pokepuffs. :3

I mean, this isn’t “bad” but it’s not exactly the best either. It’s just “meh.”

 

[SnakeFighter64]

There was a problem fetching the tweet

I really wish you could just post media with no text.

Agree to disagree, I guess. I really cannot wait to see how they look in Smash and whatever else MS has cooking.

What am I looking at?

 

[Gentlepanda]

vergeben's latest gamefaqs post is maintaining minecraft which is interesting

if shinobi actually knows something and isn't ****ing with people (or heaven forbid, is just listing a wish instead of pulling a sneaky leak), then pretty much everyone else is in the dark about it

All Boxians were with Inciniroar when he was leaked. Since we all expected only 2 more characters left.
