These have been around since the franchise began, and in today's video, we will be looking at the crazy history of these fake leaks, and talking about some of the wildest ones that have popped up over the years!

    The wait for SwSh's reveal and then release was painful. I remember leaks such as the one that talked about how there would be a Kanto game set in the future and that the plot of Gen 8 would be "tradition vs innovation" back in 2018. I even remember a leak where I also remember a SwSh leak that had a Grass/Electric apple fakemon and another leak that had a goldfinch fakemon called Lofinch. I also remember the Ben Affleck leak, which turned out to be real.

      of Data about how Everything reacts to Everything?!
      There must be an easier way, yes?
      Just something that asks of me the work
      to memorize what Stat my Pokemon 'need' to grow in,
      and then i enter this simple Stuff into something.
      I mean, i dont wanna look up all the Pokemon
      And create a Custom-List for any Route i enter:
      Someone must have made something like this
      for his own re-usability, or not??
      Like: "I have 3 Magikarps. I want them to become the
      Fastest Magikarp and have them break the Sound-Barrier.
      But i also have 3 Charmander.
      And I'm on Route-4. So what Pokemon should i defeat here
      and with who??"
      Get what i mean? Sorry for the long comment.

Would have made plenty of sense to introduced a steel-type alongside sylveon. I guess they really wanted to feature fairy in Gen 6.

    9:37 You can't ignore the fact that those leaks, despite fake, were pretty accurate to what the actual Pokémon turned out to be (looking at that Cofagrigus, Alomomola, Basculin, Drilbur, Pansage and Galvantula) as well as actually real Pokémon (Swanna, Deerling and Victini).

    There was also a big leak before the Let’s Go games were announced that said the games would be set 100 years after the original Kanto games and that the region had been torn apart and completely new cities and areas had emerged. The leak also claimed that the legendaries would be a spider and a snake (or smth like that) and that there would be new starters and tons of other new Pokémon.

    My favourite rumours from when I was 8 years old playing pokemon blue and yellow were there was a rare water type charizard you could get, pikablue was a particular playground favourite. Lapras could evolve into lugia (the movie 2000 was out but I didn't have the game yet), a nugget could push your pokemon to level 150 if they were at 100. I miss the old days of little to no internet the pokemon rumour mill was more mysterious than the game itself.

    Unpopular opinion maybe but I genuinely love leaks, real or fake. A lot of the rumors are super interesting and creative and it's fun to wonder whether they're legit or not, and how they'd be implemented if true. Leak culture is often toxic because people take what they see as truth and act like they were gypped when it turns out to be fake, but once you learn to take everything with a grain of salt it becomes tons of fun. (Heck, finding out which ones are real or fake is half the experience lol). Plus it just makes for good memories. When you started talking about "Gen 6.5" and the SM starter leaks I got so giddy because I remember how excited I felt about all of them. The fact that they weren't real doesn't take away from that.

    What a trip down memory lane. I was around for nearly all of these since I started with Gen 2. Mostly in the Serebii forums.
    During Gen 3 my friend and I tried to make fake Pokemon game boxart called "BloodRed and "PitchBlack" to trick people. That didn't work, but she did end up creating the fake Unova starters, but not as an intentional trick. 😄 And we had actually stopped being friends by that point, so I was kind of stunned when one day I saw Serebii linking to her page and posting her art in the fakemon section!
    I was a BIG proponent of Light type. I made this Solrock badge for my Serebii forum signature that said "I believe in Light Type". We'd argue about the usefulness of a Light type, and it was really fun.
    I remember thinking Grenjnja was a fakemon when I saw it, and I even put it in Photoshop to prove the art was uneven. People believed me! It's funny since Greninja is one of my favorite Pokemon now.
    At first I thought that I didn't even pay attention to any Sword and Shield leaks, but boy did I forget about the peanut bug footage. I remember people connecting it to an actual species of bug before the creator admitted he just got the design from a bunch of stuff in the room. 😆

    • @MrShadic140
      @MrShadic140 2 роки тому +1

      Armored evolution is a Digimon thing actually.
      Digimon can "special digivolve" using a set of items called DigiEggs (DE) and turn into a Armored evolution, or an entirely different Digimon from the original evolution line.
      But I think if it did come to Pokémon it would just be "slap an armor into charizard, done, Armored Charizard" instead of evolving charmander/charmeleon with an item to get a special Armored Pokémon (not charizard!) kind of like Gardevoir and Gallade.
      An example in Digimon would be Veemon, who can evolve by level into ExVeemon or Vdramon. But using DEs to evolve it can become Flamedramon, Miragemon, and one other. which all three are exclusive to that evolution method

    Something that's always a good tip-off for fakemon - they look like they're done in the "standard" furry art style but with the flatter shading and colors of Pokémon. Also the fact that there are usually several convincing fake leaks that come out around the same time. I remember the fake Sprigatito leaks looked vastly different, but one that was interesting looked like it had been recreated from a fairly accurate description of Meowscarada. Like, the specific details were all wrong but the broad strokes were pretty darn close.
