They could have shown a quarter of what's been leaked and their marketing would actually be decent

Lol, that’s basically true.

Spoiler: Sword and Shield spoilers

It makes sense though. Galarian Corsola is likely a reference to the White Cliffs of Dover in the UK, a cliff made entirely out of chalk.

Spoiler

It's probably more likely a reference to bleached coral considering the evolution and typing, a G-rated reflection of our reality.

I find it kinda funny how this thread has turned into "Pokemon Leaks 2: Electric Boogaloo and friends" in such a short timespan.

I know. That's what chalk is made of. Bleached coral, shells, and various things fossilized in the ocean.

Course, Galarian Corsola could just be a "the earth is dying" Pokemon, but I'm choosing to believe it's an actual reference to a landmark in England. It feels like too much of a coincidence, especially since most of the other Galarian Forms reference the UK.

It's not about the destination; it's about the journey.

No, it's about the friends you made along the way ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Think about it though, a lot of major concerns were confirmed not true with these leaks.

Spoiler

Kanto Pandering with Gigantamax? Giga Garbodor. Galarian forms being just Kanto? So far, Stunfisk and Corsola, alongside ZigZagGoon have new Galar forms, with 2 having a new evolution. So... why wouldn't they show these things off

Then the leak ends up being fake after all.

Probably because they were intentionally trying to save a lot of good stuff so people wouldn't be disappointed by the lack of unrevealed content like they were in SuMo.

I'm almost certain the reason why they didn't show any of these pokes is because they want to surprise people at launch.

Of course, while that would be a given in 1999, this is 2019 we're talking about, and that kinda marketing strategy just doesn't work anymore.

I am still trying to figure out why they would do things that way.

So far, I can only guess they are that bad at marketing games.

There's also the fact we know they actually learned from their mistake in the past 5 years of tutorials. Why the **** does all the good news about the game not come from the people telling us to buy the game

Spoiler

True, but like, Kanto pandering were major concerns with SuMo as well, with Z Moves and Alolan forms as well. I'm not sayong to reveal everything, but show a little more to say you adress these concerns

 

[Skyline1992]

I wonder how many new Pokemon are gonna be in this generation. I'm guessing between 90-100.

Apparently the foxes' names are Nickit and Thievul respectively

That's it, the Disney nut inside me is naming it Nickit Wilde. Too good to pass up

I need to know which Pokemon are exclusive to each version before I put a pre-order down for my copy.

Have the leakers mentioned anything about this?

Companies need to learn how to do better marketing.

I say this as a Dragon Quest fan.

Spoiler: I know it really well when it comes to awful marketing choices.

Welp, looks like the Kirby manga is getting released in Spain:

Looking forward to that.

Watched the Hazbin Hotel pilot for the second time.

It's not bad but the characters and animation quality are simply fantastic.

I’m buying Shield for Tyranitar, no matter which other Pokémon are exclusive.

Spoiler: A SW/SH Question

Is that fire centipede the reigional bug (like Vikivolt or Butterfree) or closer to something like Pinsir or Heracross? I just want a yes or no, don't tell me what the actual one is if it isn't

Spoiler: Thoughts on the new SW/SH Pokemon

Poor Corsola. I really like the concept, might put it on my team. I really hope they make a "Johtonian Cursola"., because I have a shiny that I'd really like to be able to use.
Also baby dreadnaw. I hope it evolves quick.

So chances we might get anything Smash related this week?

Spoiler: Sword and Shield spoilers

I'm surprised Impidimps final evolution went the way it did. Based on how skinny the Pokemon is, I thought it would end up being a special attacker with good speed and the prankster ability. Never thought for one second it'd turn into a behemoth like that.
