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. Watching the Ocenia Pokemon chapionship Junior division makes me think that when I was their age I just put Hyper beam on all my Pokemon and I didn’t even know EV training was a thing, and there they are, these kids making plays, predictions and mind games lmao.

  3. Do yall think BotW2 could have Blood in the name, or is that too risky for Nintendo? (I mean BotW already has Blood Moon, but still Idk)

  4. My Hopes and Ass-perations for Breath of the Wild II
    -New variety of enemies that aren’t reskins of the same class (Bokoblin, Moblin, Lizafols and Lynel)
    -Improved crafting system, perhaps reforging weapons with monster parts for new effects
    -More backstory on Ganondorf, with BOTW introducing Gerudo culture and even a language we have more characterization for the dessert thieves and i want to know if these customs had any role on the Voe King
    -Maybe a return of the Minish concept that was scraped
    -Dark Link this form would be born out of malice and ancient technology to made a bad ass cyborg evil Link that attacks you

  6. Theory about BotW2 that I realllly love
    In the trailer we see a Green Magical hand holding down Ganondorf’s body. Later, we see what looks like Link releasing that hand using his hand (that was glowing green at that moment). We also see Zelda falling and Link catching her hand and in another shot we see Link falling in that same place (probably still holding Zelda) and that Green Magical Hand grabbing him.
    The theory is, this hand belongs to a past incarnation of Link. And not just any Link, the one that was originally going to be in BotW that we can see in Concept Art, the one with one hand missing. It looks like he put a spell on his Right hand and sacrified it so that Ganon could never return in his physical form and wouldn’t have his Triforce. But now that Champion Link released the hand, Ganondorf is free. And, as we can see in the shot of Hyrule, he’s tearing the Castle of the Ground in a Giant Floating Island. It’s probably not a coincidence that that’s also something we can see in BotW Concept Art

  14. It figures that when I give up on Masuda Methoding, while I am just breeding a Grookey for an annoying stalling strat I wanna try, that’s when I hatch a shiny lmao.

  16. Eldegoss should’ve has a Grass/Ghost final evo based on passing from old age and either picked or dead cotton and nobody can fight me on it. Cotton Down is such a cool ability that would be amazing on an actually defensive Pokemon and could provide a super interesting niche in Trick Room doubles.

      • All four of the other dead plants have decent defensive stats, and it’s not really an issue for Sp. Def which is Eldegoss’ highest anyway. Eldegoss also has low HP which meshes well with frailty in a thematic sense

  17. Something super quick I rustled up whilst eating

    Gossamort, the Rotten Bloom Pokémon
    Grass/Ghost
    Cotton Down/Regenerator/Effect Spore
    Evolves from Eldegoss when traded with a Reaper Cloth

    “Gossamort’s core body is strong, but its cotton blooms are almost ethereal in their softness. The fragile, yet stunning dresses made from its cotton are a must have in the world of high fashion.‘

    New Core Moves: Psychic, Psyshock, Trick Room, Shadow Ball, Dark Pulse, Memento, Curse

    Role: Spinblocker with Rapid Spin, doubles support, Trick Room setter

    Niche in mind: A slow Pokemon that applies Trick Room’s effects with that of Cotton Down slowing every other Pokemon down. May seem self-defeating, but could prove handy if the foe needs to switch and you don’t. More fun than function.

  18. If even the Pokemon Company realizes that the main Pokemon anime is lame and offers limited story telling to the point where they are always making mini series with stablished directors to flex their creative muscles…. why not just make a new full series with an artistic vision? Have Science Saru animate it or even continue with Studio Colorido.

      • They recently staarted a series of shorts called Twilight Wings, following from Pokemon Origins and Pokemon Generations tradition of making a mini series to coincide with the new generation fo games starting that is much better than the main anime series.

        Reply

    • It’s more they don’t have enough for a full on story/season so instead because they wanted to do something special for certain reasons (Origins was to do a tribute to the origins of the series right before/at the beginning of a new generation, Generations for the 20th anniversary and Twilight Wings cause they don’t have a full on Galar season so they wanted to make up for it with a mini series)

    • They don’t even have to tell the exact stories of the games. They could even adapt the manga, though then it wouldn’t be promoting the new games which apparently matters.

  25. I must say these last few weeks of my life have been extremely pitiful and droll
    No matter what I do I just cannot find enjoyment out whatever I set my mind to.

    I feel like I should be doing more with myself but I just don’t feel that spark anymore, my gaming life is in the toilet, my career is a dead end where I basically sit in my car after an hour of work and my social life is pretty much being fed up with my siblings since I lack a real life group that actually likes the dumbass nerdy stuff I like and I’m pretty sure I put on like 7lbs in the last two weeks

    I keep clinging to the fever dream that Animal Crossing will solve my problems but I’d be a fool to let that be true, it’s days like this I feel existence is waste on me
