I thought someone stated once that Sakurai doesn't really have much say when it comes to what new Pokemon will be included, and that GameFreak is in charge of that decision. I could have sworn I read that somewhere. Regardless, if that's the case, maybe back when the leaker got his info, which again could have been months ago, the Pokemon wasn't fully decided upon yet and they were waiting for GameFreak to make the decision. This would have had to have been months ago, maybe even last year, as developing a whole character, plus a trailer for it, doesn't just happen in a couple days.
The whole "Pokemon from X and Y" thing has sort of bothered me, but I tend to just let it slide as, technically, it is correct. But it constantly brings up the question "why didn't he say which one specifically?" If you've got leaked information, why not be specific? The only answer I can come up with are the ones I've stated before: either the leaker isn't close to the project or he hasn't been a part of the project for a while now. There could be some other option or answer as well, but I'm not seeming to find it.
