She is not no damn 15 lmao.

But actually, I think they refer her as a young adult in the game so they probably changed her age.

Probably for the better

Oh
I was referring to Vigoroth going bananas

tbf, they've been winning since Gen 4 JP since that got censored for the English release.

This was just

Blatant tho, whereas the original could be read certain ways lmao.

 

[Guynamednelson]

This is a Greek mythology moment.

More like Japanese mythology, I believe some of these are just Japanese myths with the names switched around.

That's at least the case with the Lapras one, which is literally just the Octillery one with "Octillery" replaced with "Lapras".

Edit: There is no probably yeah it was 100% better lol

I don’t know why people debated her age.

She’s been a full blown pilot for years and is close friends (presumably growing up together) with Cynthia, a full grown woman.

Gamefreak couldn’t have gone “please enjoy the actual adults more” then if they tried lol

TheMightyP was talking about Elesa there, not Skyla.

 

[Noipoi]

Pokémon mythology is kinda ****ed up.

I like it. It’s like our irl myths and legends, they aren’t all PG

 

[Z25]

Also Archie was originally a gym leader moonlighting as the leader of a group of pirates, who were working to stop Maxie and Team Magma from hurting Pokémon, as opposed to fighting over land rights:

Pokemon Zeus is gonna have a lot of explaining to do.

 

[Z25]

That one also wouldn’t make sense to be a child.

She’s a full blown model living the life of realizing adulthood isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Which is why she encourages Bianca to follow her own dreams instead of her parents. App top of again being modeling for years and close friends with Cynthia

Pokémon mythology is kinda ****ed up.

to be fair, doesn’t Diamond and Pearl have books at the Canlave library that talk about marriage between people and Pokémon? Which was basically not that far off from some of these docs.

Well at least the questions they make people ask aren't all "why do you want to mate with a cartoon bear/octopus/etc."

Like in one there's a part where a Rapidash has its mane cut off. As in the fire-type one. How does that work?

 

[Z25]

Also with the Gen 3 map editor in these leaks, I wonder if that could revolutionize the rom hacking scene for gba rom hacks.

 

[Arcanir]

So based on the Gym Leader bios.
The Striaton triplets are British
Lenora's half British and Black (more the latter)
Burgh's Italian
Elesa's French
Clay's Japanese (but we already knew that)
Skyla's Hispanic
Brycen's Chinese
Iris' Middle Eastern
Drayden's German

They weren't kidding when they said they wanted to have a more diverse cast for BW. Granted, there were a couple misfires in how they handled it, but this does show there was a clear attempt.

It's also interesting that Drayden having a grandson was already intended as far back as BW.

 

[Z25]

Also the anime leaks are really interesting as well. Since they expand to other media.

One of the documents refers to the live action Pokemon show that was reported on earlier this year at Netflix. Apparently it’s 8 episodes and meant to drop this year.

There’s also been an anime movie aimed at older audiences meant to reboot the films, but it’s been in development hell since 2021. It is set in Kanto and focuses on Mew.

Oh no, some of the Gym Leaders in Unova are Br*tish?

Considering some of the stuff people have already done with Gen 3 hacks including new mini games and swapping out the battle system entirely for one based on Auto Chess, would their official tools really be any helpful at this point?

 

[Z25]

Ok the plot for the upcoming anime movie is actually kind of crazy and dark.

Spoiler

Film apparently has two new protags set in modern Kanto.

It’s more mature and meant to tackle themes of suicide and cyber bullying.

made by the director of detective Conan.

This is too good:

 

[Noipoi]

After all these leaks next Pokémon Day the Presents is just gonna be the president staring at the audience, flipping us off, and leaving.

 

[Guynamednelson]

And the set will suspiciously be lacking any Typhlosion/Octillery/Ursaring/Rapidash/Lapras merch.

 

[TheMightyP]

And the set will suspiciously be lacking any Typhlosion/Octillery/Ursaring/Rapidash/Lapras merch.

They will also announced that due to complaints from HR, the Slakoth line will be removed permanently

 

[Shroob]

Why do you think Slakoth was soo hard to find in Scar/Vio?

The first step of making you forget it exists.

 

[Pink Yoshi]

So uh

I don't know if anyone else saw this, but frankly I'm scared of how much free time this man has

“Tune in February 28th 2025 for the latest Pokemon Presents!

Featuring roughly 40 minutes of John Gamefreak deleting every bit on data on all upcoming projects, because you ungrateful ****s couldn’t wait”

*Please note there will be no additional announcements regarding the Nintendo Switch Successor

Oh, but there well be.

It'll be that the Switch 2 was canceled.

Because there was info about it in the Teraleak.

 

[Noipoi]

All we know is that it’s called “Ounce”

Clearly the console will be very small.

But the sequel will be called pound. And it will be very large

So that blaziken latias?

Was apparently a scrapped Delibird evolution.

How did they even come up with that concept?

I wish I could go back 2 hours before I read the Canon Pokemon human relation lore

Just think of them as myths and legends. Early humans in the Pokémon universe telling stories and trying to make sense of the world. None of that really happened.

I hope

Final Skyla is WAY better than beta Skyla

Well the one involving Lapras is just the one involving Octillery with the species swapped, so clearly one couldn't have happened

I hope

Yeah…

Except we have a glaring outliner that implies all of these stories are real.

In the Octilliery story, the man is a human born from a Pokémon.

He can understand Pokemon as well.

Now who do we know that can do that?

N.

Which means N is likely born from a Pokémon, which makes sense as he lived in the wild.

Or he is indeed a Zoroark because his sprite in the betas opening had only one difference, a mole. Yet his other sprites do not. Implying once again, he could be a pokemon in disguise
