One of my favorite things from the Gamefreak Teraleak is the leaked conversation where they’re clearly annoyed about having to juggle the anime, ZA, and Gen 10 promotion years in advance.

Just a fun little peek into their lives

I know there was a celebration when they found out no new Pokemon game thia year

 

[Wario Bros.]

I'm actually uncertain if the NSO playtest actually has a NDA.

I can't find info about that on Nintendo's website anywhere and I haven't received an email from Nintendo about the playtest of any kind. I've only heard from sources that I can't pinpoint.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Yeah, I seen a couple

Lies, I dont believe you

A piece of my childhood just died: Liam Payne has died after a falling accident at his hotel.

Absolutely tragic, he helped to create some of the most well-known pop songs in the early 2010s that changed the lives of millions. May he rest in peace.

Oooh, that is terrible! It sucks that he ended up dying like that. May he be missed.

 

[ZephyrZ]

Yo, I got the Legends Z-A prototype via discord.

So far so good. But I can't show you. Nor will I tell you about it. Let alone explain how I got it or anything.

But I totally have it

Don't think we missed the fact that this post was typed primarily using letters.

What a subtle and cool way to leak Mega Unown.

 

[Wario Bros.]

For the gen 3 beta Mons, do have any additional details on them beyond sprites and Japanese names?

Close. It's a new form based off the French Alphabet.

You know how Roselia got both a baby and a crossgen evo in Gen 4? They were gonna do that with Delibird.

The bowling pin penguin was its baby, and the Blaziken/Latias hybrid was going to be its evo. Don't ask how someone at GF came up with a bowling pin evolving into Santa.

Also this:

apparently they planned to have a pokemon that just evolved into literally whatever lmfao pic.twitter.com/AqGhWhXqTD

The only Evolotto runs would’ve been crazy

I wish they kept Evolotto, it's incredibly unbalanced but it would've been so funny (also it could've potentially helped with filling Dexes if you're lucky enough).

Even funnier if it could evolve into itself.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Nob Ogasawara (former official Pokémon games localizer) was "hired" by the Pokémon community a few years ago to provide unofficial English names for beta Pokémon we knew at the time.

Maybe have him go another round now that we got more beta mons?

How would the game handle Evolotto evolving into itself? Would it be stuck as Evolotto or have another chance?

In fact how would it handle it evolving into NFEs in general? Stuck with whatever mon it turned into or getting to evolve into its final form?

 

[TheMightyP]

Big Eevee and Big Ditto both put a hit on Evolotto to keep them out of the games. Wake up Mareeple.

They put out a statement that said something along the lines of “we hope nobody leaks this”, not we are going to legally hold you responsible.

So I think they gave up lol and know it’s getting leaked lol.

For the gen 3 beta Mons, do have any additional details on them beyond sprites and Japanese names?

I did see this the other day, not fully sure if it’s validity though:

What each mon originally evolved into out of these few.

However I think it’s accurate because I know this concept art is real:

Which backs up shroomish having a middle form because it seemingly was a starter at one point.

 

[ZephyrZ]

I have a message from the future. Evolotto was put into the Gen 11 Pokemon games, Pokemon Ham and Pokemon Cheese versions.

It and Cosmog are now the only pokemon allowed in little cup, as Poipole/Kubfu/Type:Null were all banned for being too powerful for the tier.

Huh. Neat. Another America region.

 

[Guynamednelson]

So I've done some more digging around the Teraleak's files, and I found this picture of a person. I think he's the guy who designed that beta version of Spheal and the penguin that was supposed to go along with it:

[SneakyLink]

...I have a new favorite Fortnite skin.

Spoiler

It's Lexa Hexbringer. The Witching Hour has begun! and the TF2 nerd in me saw her description and instantly thought to go grab the spells from the tower because of two old guys fighting as spirits... it's complicated.

Due to the ties to Halloween, I'll plan on using the character exclusively from October 1, to whenever the TF2 Halloween event ends each year, as once that ends, I consider Halloween over.

That is all, back to... what everyone was discussing earlier.

Oh and a minor note here, Super Mario Party Jamboree NSO icons are here. Wave 1 features Mario, Bowser, Wario, Toad, Koopa Troopa, Goomba, Rosalina, and Ninji.

 

[ZephyrZ]

Huh. Neat. Another America region.

No, not hamburgers and cheeseburgers. Ham and Cheese.

The story features a protagonist who travels around the Condiment Region to stop the sinister Team Bread from turning the region's legendary pokemon in the world's most dangerous ham & cheese sandwich.

Ok what country other than America would that be though?

How would the game handle Evolotto evolving into itself? Would it be stuck as Evolotto or have another chance?

In fact how would it handle it evolving into NFEs in general? Stuck with whatever mon it turned into or getting to evolve into its final form?

I would expect it could still evolve again, so whatever 1st or 2nd-stage 'mon it becomes can still fully evolve.

Or it'll just evolve into itself multiple times in a row!

 

[Wario Bros.]

The Blaziken/Latias hybrid from the beta could've worked as a Paradox Pokémon if you think about it.

This required Gamefreak to think more than 5 seconds about the designs of the paradoxes.

The past ones were solid, but had so much potential and the future ones were Ctr V’d lol

 

[TheMightyP]

Typhlosion beating the allegations is neat, but it turning out the writer doesn't even exist and was completely made up cause of AI mistranslations and misinfo is some MGS ****

Typhlosion being found innocent

Wait, "Twitter machine translation"?

The Typhlosion situation all was all because of an AI translation?

It's already happening...

At least you didn't lose to Luigi.

While he was doing absolutely nothing.

I spent the latter half of today catching up to Doctor Who.


Time got all wibbly wobbly.

 

[Z25]

We chit the XY staff files which have a whole bunch of never before seen concept arts and even a few new pokemon.

And holy **** did they cook with this. How the hell did they fumble the bag? These mega designs are crazy:

What, it wasn't obvious that the story was just a poorly translated rip of a classic yokai story already?

I mean I'm not all that well versed in Japanese folklore but I still could've told you that.

 

[PLATINUM7]

Looked at what I need to get the Shiny Meloetta.

There's a few Pokemon here and there that aren't really an issue to get but then there's a bunch of trade evolutions I've got to do. :/

I hope catching a Pokemon in SV, evolving it LA, then transferring it back counts.

As long as it was caught in SV your good don’t forget the trade evolutions are higher tier raids as well in SV.

I like how most of the concept art for Mega Venusaur looks like it's eating a ****ton of spaghetti
