Plus the pool of people to leak information from that specific hour-and-a-half try out is much smaller than say someone leaking something somewhere within Nintendo's international ranks. I think it'd be way too risky to attempt something like this.
I honestly don't think the Parasect leaker was too far off with his 'Gigantamax Charizard looks like a fusion of both Megas' claim. This to me isn't the issue with the leak. Like some have stated, there's too much discrepancy between the leaker getting Hop's second Pokémon wrong but remembering that Sobble can't learn Facade (of all moves). The only reason why I would want this leak to be fake is that I read some story spoilers (went too deep into the leaker's claims!). Besides that, I think they have good, cohesive ideas for the games.
On another note, following up on the reviews that happened this week, it appears that '
there are at least 7 different unrevealed Pokémon north of Wedgehurst'. Does anyone feel like this is a lot of new Pokémon for the routes just north of the starting town? Thinking back to games like XY or SM where the amount of new Pokémon introduced (discounting forms) hovered around 70, it took up to Route 5 in XY (Route 2, Route 3, Route 32, Route 4 and Route 5) and up to visiting the whole island of Melemele in SM (Route 1 including outskirts, Route 2, Route 3, Ten Carat Hill and Melemele Meadow) to even encounter as many as 7 new Pokémon. I'm just wondering if we're not underestimating the amount of new additions to the Pokédex this time around. People generally seem to think we'll get about as many as in XY and SM, but for the first ever main line Pokémon game on home console, I've always speculated we'd hit 100. What do you guys think?
