    SPOILERS! Scarlet & Violet Leaks Thread - Data/Mechanics

    Khu has made very vague allusions to the content of the Indigo Disk, which his followers have combined with the datamines you mentioned to create very elaborate "fanfics" about the DLC in the absence of official information. Things like Kieran being possessed by Dokutaro, Dipplin2 being a...

    SPOILERS! Scarlet & Violet Leaks Thread - Data/Mechanics

    To add on to this, because Khu's so vague his followers will jump in and to fill in the gaps with all sorts of guesses and speculation. Then, the guesses/speculation that get the most traction end up getting spread everywhere and treated as if Khu actually said those things. The rumors about...

    Khu put up a new post that might clear things up a little: So, what we can gather is that there are specific items tied to each Legendary, and these items must be used in some way to trigger the Legendary Encounter. I think based on Khu's previous posts, the way to get these items is probably...

    Building on this, Khu previously "hinted" at what this method might be by posting images of vending machine snacks. I'm not sure if this has been suggested before, but based on how the main story went, maybe the method is that you have to make/feed the Legendaries sandwiches made from their...

    Khu mentioned that it might not be appropriate to call the Indigo Disk returning legendaries "static encounters", so there is probably some kind of new way to obtain them. Whether or not it will be better or worse than traditional static encounters remains to be seen though.

    "カミッチュ" is Kamitchu, which is Dipplin's Japanese name. I guess its not on Pokemon Center because there is no Dipplin merch yet. Which, at the very least, confirms that the Japanese name of Dipplin2 is probably similar. EDIT: I guess if GF is really lazy, the name could be カミッチ or "Kamitchi" as...

    Previous guesses for names that are the most likely to be correct based on this new information: Hydrapplin or Hydripplin Gouging Flame Peachikeen Also, this probably definitively debunks that Pastebin which was circling a while back, since "Dokutaro" has a proper name as opposed to re-using...

    This theory sounds plausible, but in the same Tweet you're referring to, Khu also said he had not seen any correct guesses about what the "+1" is. This, combined with Peach = Mythical being such a common theory, leads me to believe the identity of the "+1" probably isn't something that can be...

    It could be me being biased due to the leaks, but I think the story does implicitly hint at there being more to the Loyal Three beyond the "True Story". Hiding some of this in spoiler warnings just in case: Probably, the full reveal of "Momotaro" is being planned for the Indigo Disk, as one...

    I think it's more of a development concern than anything. If they removed data pertaining to Dipplin's evo from it in the Teal Mask, then they'd have to go through the trouble of editing it back in when the Indigo Disk launches later (i.e. adding the evo method, adding Eviolite flags, and so...

    Might be an unpopular take, but I think in the case of BW remaking the originals would be better than remaking the follow-up. BW is the one that has the more interesting plot and commits to the concept of the "soft-reboot", while BW2 was more of a return to status quo with some extra...

    Its really interesting to me that Nintendo actually acknowledged the game's performance issues, even if its tucked away in the official patchnotes for this update. I do wonder how much they will actually fix though, I don't know enough about game development to tell what is and isn't feasible...

    So uh, just a casual experiment: Transform doesn't work on Gholdengo because of Good As Gold KOing (or capturing) a Ditto transformed into a Gimmighoul doesn't seem to drop anything, but I'm not sure if I'm just unlucky. Guess they really thought of everything.
