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.

  1. Hey all! I’ve been plugging away at a new Omega Ruby file since last night in pursuit of a Deoxys and I’m going to be playing Sword for Zacian shortly thereafter. A part of me wants these two playthroughs to take forever because after I’m finished and earned my Original Color Magearna…I really would have caught them all. I never thought I would have the dedication to make such a thing happen but here I am saying it. I don’t know, I just can’t help but think about you all and the friendship you’ve given me. Those of us who have been around the Jungle as long as I have know this feeling. I owe this victory to all of you.

    • Also, I have a random question that I didn’t want to tack onto such a sentimental paragraph. Would there be any consequences if I turned back my DSi’s clock a month to get Spring Deerling and then put it back the way it was? There’s no way it would be flagged by Bank or Home is there? I’m sure I’m being overly paranoid again…I just don’t want to wait until May to complete my Living Dex.

  3. I’ve been fishing some good sh*t in Pocket Camp lately

    A random net got me a Giant King Salmon (one of the rarest species in the game apparently) yesterday and an Oarfish tonight

  12. So ends another completion to Thousand Year Door
    The final boss ended fairly quickly due to OP mode
    2 power plus badges, Power Up Defense Down Badge, All or Nothing Badge and increasing number of attack turns with Rally Wink

    I basically did 30 Damage every turn but as always it fills my heart with joy looking back at everything on the journey long spent

      • You did! unfortunately nobody was using their mains (except the Byleth and plant was my other friends secondary). Lol well thats not very fair especially if you dont want platforms against K rool, plus I was just doing legal stages.
        Anyway I do hope next time you stay long enough to play against one of my mains. We’ve never had that matchup yet and Im curious how I would do.

  17. I feel that Motostoke was the city that GF put the most effort into in Galar. There are several others that just are lame husks. Every region has these kinds of cities, though. There were just some cool concepts they squandered, Hammerlock absolutely sucks, there is nothing to Ballonlea and the forest leading to it was so disappointing, Stow-on-side has all these cool fields that you can’t go to, Spikemuth is just the WORST city in any region-especially one that a gym occupies. Most of Wyndon is boring, but at least it’s big. They should’ve put another pokemon daycare there so I could ride around and hatch eggs without having to taxi there.

    But Motostoke feels realized and stylized. It’s got a great location as it has 3 entry points and honestly it’s the most recognizable city in Galar.

  18. Well I saw Sonic. Personally i really liked it

    Some Nit picks tho
    If you’ve heard people say that this is one of Jim Carrey’s most over the top performances yet, idk what movie they saw but they are absolutely wrong. He pulls off an astounding performance just not an over the top one (which is one thing that was a bit disappointing, but I’d rather what I got then him be too much), some of the pacing is a bit fast, but I can’t complain much on it cause it wasn’t that big of an issue and this movie won’t age well, honestly i had no issue with the flossing but the pop culture stuff was a bit out there, but again not a deal breaker

    Now some good pros to it
    Like I said Jim Carrey’s performance was astounding, loved Sonic’s character, his backstory was a very interesting thing that I did not expect but was intrigued that they used that to define some of his inner flaws. As for the people, I liked Tom, he was a likeable character at least and I liked the Sonic references when they appeared such as the town being Green Hill. Plus I love the sequel potential they set up alongside a Tails cameo

    • Also the redesign was definitely needed for this film

      If they kept the original design this film honestly would’ve been a lot worse cause they do give Sonic a lot of close ups

    • Okay so I remember the OG and Dino Thunder just because those were my childhood but why are they of all things crossing over with this season when it’s not dinosaurs

      As well as that, why is there another red T-Rex and blue triceratops
