what if GF completely changes the starter evo designs because

The games are practically finished by the time they announce them. They're not changing anything that aren't bugs.

The game is finished

You do know that they already made merchandise and produced an anime right? Will they just dump all of that because of a leak?

>>28679572

You do realize that would cost a hell of a lot of money to do. They were leaked ages ago and we didn't know they were actually real up until a couple weeks ago so it doesn't really matter that we know, considering the games are only 8ish weeks away.

It's basically confirmed at this point that the Starters are gonna get Split Evos.

Which Evos these are is up for debate though, but I'm at least 99% sure that Luchalitten is the Moon Evo.

Nope

>>28679725
>It's basically confirmed at this point that the Starters are gonna get Split Evos.
Okay

At this point, I think we'll get gender specific 'forms' at most.

If you think it's not fucking obvious where this is headed next you're are stupid as the people who think this is fake.

>>28679824
>>Rockruff shares a secret with the starters
That was just a mistranslation.

>>28679824
The secret is Z Formes. When they use a Z Move that transform and become stronger.

Joe Merrick says no

>>28679839
Nah riddler also hinted towards it too, it's probably the case

>>28679824
It's like you live under a rock and missed the part where that was a mistranslation.

>>28679839
>mistranslation
Wrong.
And even if it was, why the fuck would they pair Rockruff with the starters?
>>28679844
>Giving a new forme to a Pokemon that already has a forme
Why?
>>28679862
Again, that's been proven to be false.
And Joe isn't super reliable anyways, the dude has made mistakes before.
>>28679873
It's not.

>>28679887
Unless you're a Japanese speaker, you need to shut up

>>28679862
isn't that the guy who thought the anti piracy measures in the BW games were a tutorial?

>>28679895
Are you?
Otherwise you have no fucking soapbox to stand on.

>>28679922
I am

I'll bite, what does it actually say then? It's not like I can actually confirm it and could still easily be spouting shit but I'll humor you.

>>28679959
Rockruff has a secret, and the starters also

>>28679976
So you've basically proved me right?
>inb4 arguing semantics about how it isn't the same thing when it's very fucking heavily implied that it basically means the same thing

>>28679976
It specifically mentions evolution, you fucking liar.

>>28680010
It is NOT implied that they are the same secret

>>28680049
"[their evolutions,] Rockruff has a secret, and the starters also"

>>28679572
Assuming GameFreak really tried doing something as retarded, the designs would have to be made in haste and likely be 1000x worse than what we got. It's not worth it.

>all the Pokemon have secrets
>Rockruff has this specific secret

Now tell my why the would pair Rockruff SPECIFICALLY here?
Why not pair another Pokemon with a weird secret like Minior or Wishiwashi?

>>28679572
I see we're at BARGAINING STAGE now.

Soon you will reach acceptance.

>>28680097
If they had wanted it to be the same secret, they would have phrased differently. I speak Japanese. They way it is phrased clearly implies they are different secrets. There's no ambiguity, only in English ambiguity is there

They'll do.
Just like 5 years ago. :^)

>>28680118
Then I really don't know what else they would even do.

I doubt we'll be getting Z-move forms and the games have been adding more version exclusivity.

I guess we'll have to wait and see, but I'll be holding my ground that it's split evos until proven otherwise. I honestly kinda hope it's something entirely new because both situations would feel so fucking boring.

Great, can't wait for synchro

It would also explain why the final evos are all humanoid abominations this time around.

The Z-form/Bond evo/"Synchro" are probably the secret since we still don't know why the manga Rockruff has a gem in his neck (the riddler said something that implied it was more than just something cosmetic) and the Chinese leak has pointed to them as well.

If this is the secret /vp/ will be surprised since according to a strawpoll most of this board doesn't believe it's going to be in the game.

>>28680216
After they revealed Ultra Beasts I just expect anything honestly. And I'd actually be happy if the starters get some special Synchro forms, makes them feel more like a core member that doesn't get outclassed by anything other on your team imo.

It's funny when people randomly claim they can translate Japanese.

Both my friend Horikawa and I have learned Japanese to some extent.

I learned the alphabet and can pick out key words, phrases and names.

She is currently employed at retranslating ancient Japanese microfiche into modern english, much for the first time.

We are both white (online name for her).

So I laugh when people claim to be able to translate Japanese. Because they may be able to, but usually they are not up to the proper level to even matter.

>>28680118
You're full of shit. It's ambiguous as fuck.

>>28679862
Joe is an idiot, he surrounds himself with free labor and gets to look smart.
>>28680168
Ah, I remember that. Good times.
>>28679589
Truth. It makes sense that the main leaker is Chinese,because obviously all this is coming from a spiteful penny-a-day slave laborer.

>>28679862
That cuck also said luchalitten and friends were fake.

>>28680404
Yup, this fuck is like TyranitarTube. Rush information, clickbait if possible or directly jumping onto conclusions. One day he'll regret it, one day there won't be "yeh i'm sorreh I wuz wrong xdd". He's really falling into the Pokejungle tier of bullshit.

They won't, and there won't be split evos either

>>28679572
unlikely.

the only hope for those who greatly dislike these designs is that these are earlier concepts, much like 'wing head' torchic.
