They're probably exaggerating, but i really don't know.
And cotton candy is probably going to be the new hated one (even though it isn't THAT bad)

I have no idea how you came to the conclusion that any of this is confirmed. Literally none of this happened today.
He said to be confirmed. Based on the rumors.
Hey guys, we shouldn't be judging the cotton candy 'mon too quickly. Remember, Vanilluxe isn't literally ice cream, voltorb isn't literally a Pokeball, Exeggcute isn't literally a dozen eggs and Charizard isn't literally a dragon. Some of their design may have origin in those items, but they aren't literally them. I personally think it may be inspired by literal cotton spores, but I'll refrain from judgement until I read the pokedex entry.
Oh my gosh. The panda evolution looks amazing, and its dark fighting?
WOOOOOO! My boyhood dreams have been realized. Immediate team slot go!

Isn't Jumpluff based off cotton spore? The new cotton guy is revealed the cotton candy Poke.. Since the bird is something to do with smell the cotton candy makes much more sense as it refer to taste. Fairy exclusive in their respective version..
Malinmar seems too good just like Archeops when it was revealed.. I smell a terrible stat or a limited movepool.. All the Pokemon that have this an ability aren't capable of using in full potential.. Or it can also just be defense oriented poke with plethora of support moves..

Probably a bunch of new pokemon and insight into gameplay mechanics (super training, type-chart, etc).
What are the thoughts on the new gym leaders? The one is clearly a rock-type if you look at the field around him and even his badge. The short blonde guy...maybe elec?
new Mewtwo form or another Eeveelution are the biggest I can think of. Maybe another fusion like kyurem and zekrom/reshiram. Sorry im speculating.
New bird has nothing to do with smell. It's name is 'shushup' as in ' shush up' (shut up in polite language).
It's actually supposed to be a sound reference. So rather than a nose, it's most likely based on a half note. That would also explain the musically related move it learns.
Those were the Pokebeach rumors that were posted in February. Those are the one's that haven't been confirmed yet. But there are literally, like, 15 rumors that have been confirmed by Gamefreak like, 2 months after they were leaked. Big deal.
According to Shushup's classification it is know as the perfume pokemon that's why it knows the move aromatherapy. Chatot has the sound reference bird already..
Those are just the Japanese names. It may change when it's English name is revealed, but it being the "perfume" Pokémon hints more towards it being smell-based.
I must have derped there because for some reason I though it was stated that it learned some kind of sound based move or ability. But on closer inspection, it was just Aromatherapy.
Malinmar?? Which one is that?
Lol sorry.. The final squid evo.. I must've been reading too much rumor news.. That's the rumor name for the final squid Malimar in English.
Right next to the base 75 or less speed it likely has.
Use trick room. I'll use him either way. I always envisioned an evo like this.
I call sucker punch-mach punch combo with Iron fists!
Goes without saying. I'll use sucker punch drain or focus punch.
Sucker Punch isn't boosted by Iron Fist
im ok with all of the designs except for that cotton candy mon. it's easy to see how pinkbirdmon will evolve into a flamingo, so that's alright in my book. im kinda disappointed with xernias's type, though. you'd think it'd have a cooler type combo than just fairy type, seeing as it's a boxcover legend.
