Rumors & Leaks - Speculation/Discussion Thread

Why is Eternatus listed twice?

The other one may be intended to be Eternamax Eternatus but got a duplicate sprite instead.

Either remakes of the two games, or a completely new story? Because I thought of a hypothetical Pokemon inspired by the games; a Shadow Ore Pokemon (Ghost/Rock type)

I would say modified/updated like how LGPE were. Adding the Shiny Charm since there hasn't been a game set in Johto with it yet. I think, as of BDSP, there's been a Shiny Charm in every region except Johto. Probably the full party EXP Share as well, since that's become standard. But probably not until the end of the Johto section so everyone doesn't go into Kanto super overleveled.

Funnily enough someone did leak details about the DLC on 4chan but wasn't taken seriously for obvious reasons

DLC is nice
I’m all up for it being late so they can focus if fixing the base game first

So... this leak was apparently real:

Edit: The hell is with the formatting?

Why is the first DLC area a Japan-based region? I am confused and kind of annoyed, this concept should have been saved for a new generation. I do like the legendaries, though, or at least Walking Wake, Iron Leaves, Ogerpon, and Terrapagos (the MomoTRIO are kind of ugly if you ask me).

Hope it is a hint towards Gen 10 being a Japan-based Region. Let's wait and hope.
It's crazy when you think about it that this DLC is gonna have the first new Japan-based place since Sinnoh. (Hisui is still Sinnoh so doesn't count)

I agree though Fezandipiti looks quite nice

I have a feeling the white-haired guy form the 2nd DLC will be one of strongest trainers there with the Lady in the back being the Professor.
I'm wondering if Nemona/Penny/Arvin will take part in the fieldtrip and also be a transfer student like us.

Centro Dex is reporting that 230 Pokemon are returning between the two DLCs.

That and they share a continuous plot and timeline, with Indigo story wise happening after the events of Teal.

Don't forget about the Physical/Special thing and the Fairy-type.

You know, I was thinking; what if Bulbasaur and Squirtle made an appearance ,respectively, in The Teal Mask and The Indigo Disc?

Spoiler: not really spoiler but it's that suicune image from the scarlet book

Ok so, paradox suicune is clearly different from the one in this picture... what makes me think the author drew this based on rumors/sightings of the three pokémon in distinct moments, but it was so fast that they only saw parts of it, and maybe thought they were the same pokémon

that way we may be getting the other two (four, if you count the musketeers from violet) in the near future

I'd be here for it.

That list of mons rumored to be returning feels too good to be true. Both of my favorites are in that list along with most starters.

 

[bruhidk]

So why are all of the starters available except for the Gen V ones that aren't Samurott?

It would be an interesting way to handle it, you could even give out the other two sets with the two DLC waves, such as Raikou/Cobalion coming with The Teal Mask while Entei/Terrakion comes with The Indigo Disk.

Unova remake? Black 3 and White 3?

Any news about home being able to connect with S/V?

Just that it's coming in "early 2023"
