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.

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?

  1. Gonna go to bed now…but I ask you:
    If you could make up your own Pokémon spinoff series, what would it be? GET CREATIVE! I’ll check back when I wake up ?

    My idea? You play as a Mareep herder who has to travel into the dreams of Pokémon around the world. The goal in each dream is to find the nightmare Pokémon that’s troubling the sleeping Pokémon, and use your Mareep to track it down before the Sleeping Pokémon become paralyzed with fear!

  13. I’m gonna take this leak with a MASSIVE grain of salt as i believe that Gladion would have changed his hairstyle a bit if its been a few years. >.> that hair style does NOT go with that outfit, also the no new pokemon thing skeeves me a bit as i feel we did not get enough pokemon this generation. holding out hope for more pokemon and, if sinnoh remakes are announced, more pokemon alt forms, perhaps sinnoh forms, i personally liked the idea of the alola forms.

    • The best way to handle Sinnohian forms imo is the way they introduced extra pokemon to the map in omega ruby and alpha sapphire, after the main legend is bested or caught. the world altered to introduce these forms by palkia or dialga respectively.

      • On that note: i hope they do something promising with Regigigas this time around, it’s one of my favorite pokemon, least favorite abilities to go with it…

    • The article actually says it’s been debunked, it’s just casually there in text tho

      “It has been confirmed the the screenshot and concept art are both an creations, consequently meaning the leaked information is also false”

      Needs to be highlighted more imo, I barely noticed it

      • ok here’s how its been since last night

        -Woke up at 2 o’clock due to a night terror about my friend
        -Forgot the text book I have to return today so had to get driven home to go get it
        -By Sunday my friend is moving to Georgia
        -German Finals
        -Have lost my voice to allergies
        -and had no breakfast this morning before it

        Yeah this is one of my more off the norm. Days and if Pokemon reveals good all this will be washed away by enthusiasm

        • You poor deer, i feel that kind of calamity on certain days too, the whole “nothing is going right and nothing will”
          What we got with this direct is a gift, a possible way to break the norm, but we’ll see how it goes, i offer you my sympathy and empathy.

  17. My current ladder random battle rank is 200 now I really return from the bottom of hell….I think my best rank was 67 it’s really good job for a guy who’s suffering from lack of luck.

  19. I can accept anything even new dungeon game I prefer conquest though but not another mobile game …….Did ya hear me ??? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

      • Yes. It’ll probably be that. There’s so many rumors surrounding that title. It’s just amazing really. Ever since Eurogamer reported on it the day or so after Sun and Moon released, I can’t get it out of my mind. If they get this right, then that also likely means Nintendo GameCube Virtual Console is coming, as Eurogamer also reported rumors on that. If that happens, I will cry tears of joy.

  22. I am excited for the direct, but to be honest I am not expecting much. It’s 8 minutes long, which means we have time for a small trailer for whatever mainline the game they choose to make. I am just hoping for Gold and Sliver Eshop games, hopefully for the switch. They need to start unifying and transitioning more stuff to the switch. The whole idea behind the switch is that it unifies our downloadable content. I want to be able to play pokemon on the tv and then take it with me. This is just my thought process.
