That's me and I can admit that I was super wrong

Denialfags are always cucked.

>>30522527
How could you be so dumb?

Thinking the UBs weren't going to be catchable was a completely reasonable opinion. They were never referred to as Pokemon on the site, didn't have a name, and calling them "ultra beasts" just sounded like something whack that was only related to the story

>>30522599
They look so awful. I can't believe anyone thought they were real.

>>30522623
They Look better then what we got
Fur bait ruins pokemon.

>>30522594
No it wasn't, Gamefreak would never introduce uncatchable monsters.

>>30522599
Ballio is real though
in my heart

They already did though back in Gen 5

Depends on how long they denied as more information came out. For instance, the starter leak was highly atypical for how we usually get these leaks. Even now the best we have is "they just fucking showed up on /vp/ one day." The Chinese leaks were even more suspect initially because, you know, they were just text leaks from some chinese place. In retrospect, their more leak supporting qualities standout, especially once we began to get official releases of stuff no one else had guessed that matched up. Pretty much anything beyond the reveal of Mallow and the whole Trial thing is when people began entering real denial mode.

The Ultra Beasts being uncatchable is the biggest bit of denial there, even from the beginning. The closest Gamefreak has ever come were the Pokestar minigame battles, which are a completely different thing to how the Ultra Beasts were portrayed. The most basic aspect of Pokemon is "see that monster? You can catch it and use it." They might do it some day, in a serious plot capacity beyond a side quest movie minigame, but they'd probably make a bigger deal of it. The Ultra Beasts were just meant to be "New! Exciting! Strange!"

Implying.

For every legit leak there are dozens of fake ones.

>>30522867
It's always obvious what's real and fake.

The only time I've been wrong was hawlucha, I thought Gamefreak would never make such an ugly mon.

That day I accepted in entirety that Gamefreak is incompetent and anything good they do is merely a fluke.

>people actually wanted this
still it's really weird that the actual grass starter we got closely resembled this one, not design-wise but concept-wise

>>30522914
Because the leaked Japanese names literally was grass owl

Not the first one either. Back when we didn't know shit about BW2 there was this fake Corocoro with new starters and sprites for everything. Guess what the Grass one was.

And they say meme magic isn't real.

Cactowl's supposed name on that page is only one character off from Rowlet's.

It was also depicted following the player in a Ghost gym.

Pure coincidence.

Nobody knows.

He was 100% legit even though he got some things like Toucannon's relationship wrong.
The fucker not only knew the name of Marshadow's Z-move, but he even saw it in action.

>>30523213
I'm 100% convinced he was someone from the inside. There's zero ways he would know about Marshadow's Z-move if he was simply some random chink that got lucky with a hacker.

Marketing ploy/stunts.
