FAKE: Pokémon “Stars” Leaks (UPDATE)

by

FAKE ALERT: The information contained in this post has now been debunked!

It’s that time again folks! A Pokémon Direct has just been announced for tomorrow and Pokémon fans are frantically speculating over what the 8 minute broadcast will announce. Meanwhile, some users online have begun posting information claiming to have insider knowledge on the upcoming game.

One user on 4chan posted the following information regarding the game:

  • The games will be available for both 3DS and Switch and the two versions can communicate with each other
  • The above image shows Gladion in his new outfit
  • Alola will be the setting for the game and Kanto will not make an appearance
  • Characters from Sun & Moon will appear and have grown up since we last saw them
  • Gladion now runs the Aether Paradise
  • Gyms are now present in Alola, with Trials no longer existing
  • No new Pokémon or Mega Evolutions
  • Necrozma receives a new form
  • New exclusive Z-Moves
  • Plot of the game is heavily focused on past events and will feature many cutscenes
  • The game will explain how Necrozma fell into our world
  • Characters are called Kaosu and Hoshi

CONFIRMED FAKE: In addition to the above supposed “leaked” concept art was also posted online, show a number of reference poses for Gladion in his new getup. It has been confirmed the the screenshot and concept art are both an creations, consequently meaning the leaked information is also false. Art done by Italian artist Emdy.

As always with rumors and “leaks” we urge our readers to take this information cautiously. We do not claim it to be real and have chosen to post it for discussion purposes. We believe these images and information are 100% false. That said, how would our readers feel if this did turn out to be true? Is it something you like to see in a Sun & Moon follow-up game?

  4. Hey you guys, long time no see. I hope everyone is as excited for the direct tomorrow as I am. It is probably going to be a long rest of the day waiting and hyping for the direct. I would just like to remind you all, we do in fact have a discord server for all of you who utilize discord. It is not forced but it is encouraged. We would love to hear any further discussion on what you guys think we are going to see tomorrow. Idk about you guys but e3 and now this direct are something im very well waiting for especially now that I am on vacation. Let me be the first (if not already said lol) to say i want colo or XD related game on switch. I love colo and xd is not as great but still great. If they brought it on the switch that would be very satisfying and would love to hear how they change up Mirror B’s theme again lol

  5. Well this certainly has me hype for the direct. I really like the idea of Gladion taking over the Aether Paradise. Hopefully after Stars (if stars is a thing) we’ll get those Sinnoh remakes!?

  7. I am BEYOND hyped for this!!!
    I’m actually betting on perhaps DPPt remakes, and maybe even bringing us GSC for the VC??? =D
    Not going to lie, I would probably be slightly more excited for the GSC VC. xDDD

  8. I swear every single time I put a Pokemon to sleep today
    The very next turn be it the next turn or they switched out and switched back in and still asleep they wake up

  9. If Sinnoh remakes are confirmed I think it would be ironic, as the biggest issue with gen 4 was how slow they were (battles, health bar, text, etc.) and with each game getting more cutscenes/tutorials that problem would not really be fixed. I personally would love to have them though, but would rather had the 3rd Alola game first (please had more post game stuff), would not be too excited with R/G remakes unless they showed something huge. Kanto has gotten boring to me. Thoughts?

    • ARE YOU CRAZY? No just kidding, but Sinnoh had the battle frontier, If they do something with it to improve it a bit, it will evenly match the battle tree, so no problem in post game, also we get back chain fishing, radar,honey in trees, and so on. I would also like to rebattle Cynthia, Sumo sequels are more probable, but sinnoh remakes wouldnt be boring or have less post game in the least.

  11. This list has so many… spelling errors. These leaks are also very boring sounding. I want trials back, and I want another region, and more Megas. 🙁

  16. Does anyone here fully believe that D/P Remakes will be revealed tomorrow? I love Sinnoh, but I feel like D/P Remakes are likely a game for 2018/19. An enhanced third version of S/M makes a lot of sense with the rumours (and accuracy) of EuroGamer.

    I guess the real question is if Stars will be coming to the 3DS. A lot of rumour site solely list it for the Switch, so GameFreak might do something unconventional and make Stars a Switch exclusive. It would be a smart business tactic for Nintendo as Stars is supposed to release in the Fall (likely October or November, but before Super Mario Odyssey releases). This would push Switch units like crazy as Nintendo will have (should have) an increased amount of Switch stock in stores. Pokemon Stars and Super Mario Odyssey would easily allow Nintendo to have a strong Late 2017 to Early/Spring 2018 presence.

  17. Well, hello again PJ comments section! It’s been a while.

    I don’t even remotely know what to expect, but I am so hype. I’m going to have to find someplace that isn’t a dead zone at work to watch the direct from.

    • *PokeCompany trolls fans and announces a full region game coming along with a new region and sinnoh remakes* “Doodle goes crazy and starts screaming in the toilet” ” Everyone starts panicking and running around in fear” “Your work closes down to invastigate what happened” “You get fired, but its worth it cuz u will have more time to play pokemon” 10/10

    • I honestly think at a certain point they’ll stop doing remakes. Once they get to gen 5 they’ll have to consider what they’ll do with BW2

      Reply

      • Or They can make a single game that features both B&W and B&W2, By being able to go through a time portal or something like the altars of the sunne/moone on sumo, and switch between old and new unova at will. That would be cool and also indicate that a full regions game is possible to exist in the future.

  19. I hope it comes to the switch but i know its gonna come to the 3ds because im never right

  24. I just saw the commercial for JoJo 4D. It’s apparently gonna be based on the fight with Dio. I’m hyped, the DBZ one looks really cool too with God Broly (Or Broly God, idk.Also, idk how to cut off the spoiler thing if I want to type more without it. )

    Reply

    • Which Movie was that version of Broly again? Never been a big fan of his character so I’ve only scene the first movie and like ten minutes of the third(the Stupid one I’m told).

      Reply

        • Yeah, it kinda looks like SS3? Makes sense I guess? Maybe we’ll see it in super. the salt of the fanboys would certainly be tasty from it.

          Reply

          • Ehh, well given what Rose seems to represent we probably won’t see it again until the end of super, or if it goes past DBZ’s ending due to popularity.

          • I’m more of a SSB fan myself. Just something about it just looks good. Its so calming to look at. Something worthy of a god-like fighter. But here’s hoping with the current arc will see some other characters start to achieve god ki. Krillin’s already shown sign’s that he can achieve it, or at least understand the fundamentals of achieving it.

          • I honestly can’t see that happening, I just can’t see humans (Even if they are really strong) achieving a level of godhood. I think Gohan has the most potential since hybrid Saiyans are stronger than purebreds (which still doesn’t make sense to me).

          • The thing is though that Dragon Ball generally seems to imply that the gods of destruction are those who ascended to godhood, and weren’t necessarily born to it. So I could see someone like Krillin having the smallest amount of god-ki, if only for something of a copout ending. Like Krillin showing that he’s naturally achieved god-ki, showing zeno that even primitive mortals can ascend to being higher plains and saving the eight universes. It kinda sounds like something Toriyama would pull.

            As for why half-breeds are stronger, Masaco did a good video on it today, but the short version is that when breeding our cells have a very small mutation that’s passed on that can have any number of effects on the body. One possible effect is that it can result in being better then it initially was. So pretty much it amounts to this small mutation combined with human DNA results in a stronger lifeform and so long as it continues to be passed down from generation to generation, it’ll generally just result in improving those cells(the case he used explaining why Sayans now seem to easily achieve Super Sayan status, where their offspring do it rather easily). As for Why Gohan is probably stronger(potentially) then Goku; that’s probably more because of Chi Chi. Children tend to adopt a lot of the qualities of their parents, including their physical abilities. Gohan is the result of the universes strongest man and the earth’s strongest woman. Its amazing that he didn’t come into this world with a 12 back and biceps the size of Mr. Satan’s sort of afro.

            Here’s the video if you care to see it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZzxegTKcbg&t=0s

          • Ok, I saw the video earlier, but I wasn’t really paying attention, but I did learn about that stuff in Biology. That reminds me, you hear about that warrior from one of the Universes who could defeat a God Of Destruction?

          • Yeah that’s an interesting throwaway line, though its hard to say who it is. I mean it could be the main antagonist of this arc, but perhaps its a total dark horse. Heck maybe it’ll be part of the next arc.

          • Don’t you mean Universe 7? Pretty sure 4’s going to try to kill them since theirs no rule saying that they can’t kill one another before the fight.

          • I meant more that we could see you know who take on a similar form, not Broly. Like seeing them pushed to their absolute limit, only for Goku to step in and tell them the fatan flaw of SS3, being that it burns through energy like crazy.

  25. I still can’t believe this is actually happening tomorrow and I’ve had all day to process it. This hype is really extreme…for some reason. Playing an enhanced Pokemon Sun and Moon/sequel on the Switch will change everything, I feel. As usual, everyone should spam their favorite Pokemon songs before the big event 😛
