~ Official Pokemon News Discussion Thread ~
In order to avoid all those silly excess topics, I, along with the other mods of this section, decided to make an Official Pokemon News Discussion where you, obviously, discuss new Pokemon news be it large or small! This does not count as an event announcement thread, you can announce that an official Nintendo event is occurring where you are, but not here please.
Anyway, post new information pertaining to Pokémon, and don't post stuff that's already been posted, or that's not official from Nintendo itself.
And you must have a reliable resource to post. Word of mouth doesn't count for most news stories. :\
How do you find that out? Use the search feature. It's what it's there for. :[
We do regularly check the news stories, especially if you don't post a link. Even then we may even check via another source if links are posted.
List of what we think is reliable relating to Game releases
Most Reliable for new info:
Generally, the info on these site is either true or the Official Press line.
News from these sites are a good indication that the news is true. Generally Posting info from here generally acceptable:
These sites are usually don't need to check facts or even have editorial staff. These sites will usually require fact checking before being confirmed official.
Discuss.
