Rumors & Leaks - Speculation/Discussion Thread

[Pokemon Fan]

The new psudo looks so underwhelming to me.. Very plain and dull..
It's surprising cuz I liked all the the ones in the previous gens and thought they all had a very unique and fun design

It seems to have some interesting animations if nothing else (seems to heavily reference older Godzilla movies with it propelling itself with its breath weapon). May look better close up too.

I wasn't too sure how I felt about the Water Tauros, but I just found out it swims fast by shooting water from its horns. That certainly raised its appeal. Still probably like the Fire one the most, the horn shape and the way it wraps its tails together are awesome.

Hi guys, do we know if we can catch pokemon in cities?? They really showed pokemon in cities in the trailers so can we get them or are they just for show.

I haven't seen any locational data about where to catch any of the Pokemon yet

 

[Endless]

Not sure if I missed it but have the teams of Gym Leaders been revealed yet?

Late reply, but I hadn't seen any good team lists before now. This one has most of the relevant story characters.

Spoiler: character teams

Only important match I see missing is Nemona's final team.

I'm going to assume we cannot

Thanks a lot. The rematch teams are way better. Interesting choices for terra aces.

You can still use the online features as well as internet service for the games won’t stop just because a new Gen is out.

I meant after service for the games end.

SPOILERS! - Scarlet & Violet Leaks Thread - Data/Mechanics

"The 20 minute timer sucks! I wish they'd make it possible to actually finish a 6v6 battle before it ran out!" *monkey's paw curls* "We heard you, we'll make sure that the 20 minute timer never ends your battle early by adding so many broken things that no battle lasts longer than 20 turns."...

Spoiler: Tournament

Do we know if the Gym Leaders enter the Ace tournament? knowing that you can't rematch them, I am guessing no? Or is it similar to the Elite Four, how you can't challenge them at the league, but you can if they are part of the Ace tournament bracket.

 

[Smeargle-Sketch]

Wonder if DLC will bring more moves, since besides a small few, most new moves are signature moves.

Spoiler: story details related to some of Khu's riddles

This is in reference to the theory that the paradoxes are not from the past/future but actually imaginary.
The dubious paranormal magazines referenced in the opposite game's paradox Pokédex entries can actually be found in-game. And Sada/Turo states that they aren't exactly sure where the "time machine" is pulling the Pokémon from. The leading theory I have heard is that Sada/Turo read these magazines, imagined that it was what Pokémon from the past/future actually look like and then the "time machine"/third legendary created these Pokémon.

I get that the point of this gens gimmick is changing a pokemons type, but I still wish that the gym leaders aces were all Paldean Pokémon, and that they and the elite 4 used more gen 9 pokemon in general

Perhaps the 3rd legendary is slumbering and from it, or its dreams, it creates these Paradox Pokemon?

I still think it's crazy that Brassius doesn't get the tumble weed.

If there's DLC, better be some goodass DLC then.

This isn't exactly new information, but I haven't seen it mentioned in this thread (did a quick search for ribbon/ribbons).
There are only two new ribbons. Paldea Champion Ribbon which you get for beating the league, and I think other Pokémon can get for winning the ace tournament afterward. And the Once-in-a-Lifetime Ribbon which is quite frankly ridiculous and will give anyone trying to collect all ribbons on Pokémon nightmares for years if it works as theorized.

Spoiler: big image, no story spoilers

I'm not a ribbon hunter so I don't know all the criteria, but it sounds like they would have to start with that one, build up all the other ribbons on a Mon that came to them with it.

All trainer teams have been datamined:
