You do realize that sort of logic doesn't work, right? If there were proof that the second part of the leak was fake, we wouldn't be discussing it. But at the same time, just because it can't be disproven doesn't automatically make it true.
It does work that way. So far, at least in my view, this leak has nothing against it except people thinking Sal is lying. I don't see any reason why he would lie about this stuff, but then again I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt as truthworthy, especially when they run a gaming news web site.
Break it down simply, and you'll see how my mind sees it:
The leak hasn't been wrong yet. Yes, it may have been vague with Pokemon from X and Y, but it's still technically correct. Greninja is a Pokemon from X and Y. Mii, Pac-Man, Chorus Men, Chrom, Palutena, and Shulk have not been disconfirmed in any way, so the leak is still accurate.
I love arguing semantics, but when you break it down to straight up facts, the leak has not been wrong. That's all it boils down to. Everything else is moot. We can argue all day long about how the leaker
should have done this or
should have done that, or how they
might have done this or
might have done that, but none of it matters because we'll more than likely never know the leaker or get to ask them about why they said what they said. The only thing we can do is wait until the game gets released and see then.
And when it does come out, and if the leak is right, $10 bets you there are people who will
still say it's a lucky guess and that Rhythm Heaven deserved a rep and everything else was easily calculated. Because some people don't like admitting they're wrong.
If the leak is wrong, it's wrong. I'm not acting like it's the be-all, end-all leak. But it's the only one so far that hasn't been disproven, and after everything that's happened with this development cycle and surprise characters, that's saying something.
