RUMOR: Did Pokémon HOME include a hint about Galarian Jynx

by

The longer Pokémon HOME has been out, the more time fans have had to dig into its code and everything included in the app. Not everything is accessible through simple use and dataminers are now discovering interesting things hidden away in the tool’s files. One fan on Twitter has discovered an audio file that sounds eerily similar to that of Jynx, take a listen:

You can definitely tell it sounds similar, but what it is for and why it was included remain a mystery. A Mega Evolution? Galarian form? A scrapped design that didn’t make it into Gen VIII?

With DLC just months away, there’s still a chance we may see Jynx get a regional form or more before this generation comes to a close.

Fans online are also having fun speculating, as evidenced by fan art floating around. Twitter user Ajeb brings us this:

Unfortunately, the last theory is that this was the cry of what could have been a scrapped Mega Jynx during Pokémon X & Y. It was one of the Pokémon that Nintendo trademarked in the lead up to Gen VI, but it never received a Mega Evolution like the others on the list.

    • It looks more like a regional variant EVOLUTION.

      If you listen Mr Mime then Mr Rime, the sound variation is the same as Jinx and this new mon. (Same for the rest… Runegirus, Perrseker, SirFetch’d)

  5. Huh, well this is odd. By the end of the year we’ll hopefully know if this is meant to be something or if it’s just a scrapped remnant from older games.

    I do hope that Jynx gets an evo to make it look better though.

  7. Oh yeah, I saw the Gotta Go Fast movie the other day. It was cute and fun! Jim Carrey was Jim Carrey.

    My only real complaint was that there was too much emphasis on the human OCs and not enough on the Technicolor animal in the title. Not nearly as bad as the first couple Transformers movies, but Sonic almost felt like a side character in his own movie

  13. Animal Crossing will be a Day 1 purchase no question. Again, the switch is killing it with each of their development teams (barring a couple) doing really incredible work with these franchises. They’re listening to fans, they’re putting so much heart into these games, and they’re evolving into really stellar experiences!

    Well done AC team!

  15. I am actually a little overwhelmed to be honest

    Seeing such a developed world makes be feel well inadequate…

    I feel like I could never design such a tropical paradise as well as the devs did…

    The freshwater museum made me gush so I want to make sure I fill it up which brings me to a fatal flaw in my programming. My desire for structure and order and completionism.

    Every MO of any animal crossing game for me was pay off home and expand, catch every fish and bug and make sure I do enough to get everything the way I like it, but this time it feels like a gigantic challenge I don’t know if I can do

    That being said I hope we all can get together in the Nintowno Isles

  20. Earthen’s Island’s to-do list!
    -Assess the geography for optimal commercial growth
    -Locate prime real estate and claim it as thy own
    -Monetize the flora and fauna (including neighboring islands)
    -Con residents into signing away their personal rights via moving into enclosed pre-approved living quarters (far away from me)
    -Establishing a set rules for living that will be highly enforced
    -Earn the interest of retail conglomerates into relocating to further boost the economy
    -Rise through the social ranks to gain a political foothold and sway
    -Shady backhanded dealings to further increase my political grip
    -Become a Iron fisted dictator and enslave residents into forced labor
    -Invade other islands by ruthless military and financial takeover
    -World Domination
    -???
    -Profit

  21. Might as well post this article too, if anyone gets a Male Amped G-Max Punk Rock Toxtricity den with a Naughty nature could you let me get in on it? I know it’s specific but I thought I’d try asking anyway.
