Possible leak. Take with a grain of salt, guys. Honestly, the most glaring issue I see is the no evil team thing. What do they think this is, Pokémon Uranium? And even if the games could take a story heavy approach without an evil team like Uranium did, I have no idea what the anime would do. Could you imagine XYZ without Team Flare? Battle Dimension and Galatic Battles without Team Galactic? Episode N without Team Plasma? These arcs are regarded as the best of their respective series by a lot of fans, so I can't imagine they would just get rid of them like that. |

And also the Johto starters' branch evolution part. And the Battle Frontier part. But there are other parts that I feel have some substance to them. For example, the one-Legendary-two-mascots part is something that was definitely carried over from the last possible leak I posted (or the one before the last one, can't remember). And the branch evolutions sound like something Game Freak would go for. |

I want to say it's totally baseless and absurd, but Gen 6 did have the Kanto starters obtainable during the story with mega evolutions for all of them. |

Well, you guys do know what the difference between true and false leaks are, right? The true leaks are those with at least one bit of truth hidden amongst lies to throw people off, as well as keep the leakers from getting from trouble. Typically, other leaks either copy what other people say or make up everything, mainly to get attention. |

I just realized that yesterday was supposed to be the boxart reveal for these games, according to this purported leaked schedule, but that never actually happened. However, June 11 is also supposed to be a boxart reveal, which means we're less than a month away from possibly seeing the boxart Legendaries. Let's see if the alleged leak continues to hold up. |

We have some new info, courtesy of Serebii! "In Japan recently, there was a competition for people to design a Pokémon T-Shirt which is to go on sale. However, a new feature has been announced. The winning T-Shirt, featuring a Gyarados and Magikarp design, is to be included as a custom shirt in Pokémon Sword & Shield. This also confirms that customisation of the trainer characters returns once again."
"In addition to this, the latest issue of CoroCoro Ichiban has noted that, in its next issue, due for release on June 21st, it will include the "Latest Information for Pokémon Sword & Shield"." So it looks like this apparent leaked schedule might be bogus. |

Looks like we'll be getting some news on the games on June 5 for Pokémon Direct, and also possibly earlier than that tomorrow. Got my fingers crossed!

Somehow, I'm expecting bad news tomorrow. There's almost never anything good about a "business strategy presentation."

According to Serebii, "the press conference will cover a number of topics of interest to Pokémon fans." I can't imagine anything bad for the fans coming out of announcing their business strategies. |

I could imagine a bunch of lousy things related to business strategy. "Hey guys, we're ending the manga/anime." "We're making Sword and Shield have microtransations." "Gen 8 will be the last new Pokemon games." No one said "business strategy" meant "good ideas." |

We MIGHT have a leaked Pokédex. Take with a grain of salt. |

A number of these Pokemon evolve from themselves. Real or fake, whoever put this list together really didn't put too much work into it. "Twinkape" has to be a joke, I can't imagine them being stupid enough to inadvertently give a Pokemon the name of a homosexual slur by this point. "TNTiny" seems like something they'd want to avoid as well. I don't think they're just going to make a suicide bomber Pokemon. Explosion and Self-Destruct are rarely seen in the anime as it is.
"Heliozard"
Are you kidding me? They just combined the name with fucking Charizard and called it a dragon type.
