The moment the research facility got introduced people should have been aware that there was a progressive system.
I can't be fucked to find the pic but it's been confirmed that for Legends Arceus the size listings in the dex have been altered to present a range rather than a solid number
The “recorded” height and weight might as well be just average height and weight on a Pokémon, and not definitive-definitive numbers that is expected to be always be the same throughout various individuals of a single species.
Pokejungle claims that "the" Chinese Riddler (of gen 7 fame! (gen 8 i remember being mostly bunk if it was even the same guy) posted this
We have had this official screenshot of the Rare Candy. Rowlet, after taking the candy, is one level away from evolving as well.So this might be a stretch, but notice the starter levels here-
They're exactly one level away from evolving. I'd be less skeptical if it was only for one of them, but the both of them being at said point is definitely intentional. Combined with the fact we know new forms or evolutions for other pokémon are a thing, and we have not seen any of Samurott, Decidueye, Typhlosion, Dewott, Dartrix or Quilava in any game shots nor promotional material really stats seeming more suspicious each second. I can't get much into that because it gets into speculative territory, but thought it would be interesting to point out.
I don't think Typhlosion is the worst of gen2 (tho it is outclassed by charizard who has the exact same base stats but with a secondary typing, better movepool and two megas). Meganium is considered the worst due to being a defensive pure grass type with bad movepool and niche abilities.
I was talking design wise, gameplay wise I think all johto starters are fine for the gameplay, meganium just requires you to use non starter attackers, and then we have the problem of the johto dex being kinda bad
They are an account that essentially shares leaks from other sources. However they never really double-check and have posted fake leaks multiple times (Pokémon Stars, a screenshot of Animal Crossing claiming to be a BDSP Leak, a fake hisuian Voltorb/Electode, etc). They don't leak anything themselves, but are quick to claim leaks as their own because they like the attention they get from it.
...I feel like we're getting a little too trigger-happy with this kind of speculation when 4 arbitrary pokemon not appearing in the limited trailers we've seen is "conveniently hidden" .__.So I've made an intriguing observation about the Hisui dex I'd like to share with you all.
So far across the various trailers and promo material we've seen DP dex mons, Gen 4 cross-gen evolutions, old mons that weren't in the Platinum dex like Ursaring and brand new Pokemon and forms. But there's one group that's been very conveniently hidden.
These Pokemon were added in the Platinum dex despite not getting any new evolutions or pre-evolutions, and all 4 of them have yet to be seen in any footage as of yet. It's not like they've been totally forgotten, we've seen them a few times in BDSP promotional material through contests and the Grand Underground.
Well, all except for one. We know the Scyther line is in the dex... because it got a new evo in Kleavor. Do you think there's a chance all of the Platinum dex additions with no direct Sinnoh links might be getting new forms in the same vein? Granted, 3/4 of those remaining already have Mega Evolutions so straight evolutions aren't possible for them, but perhaps Hisuian forms, split evos or even a full evo for Tropius specifically could still be on the table? Game Freak is far from immune to double dipping as Galarian Slowbro and the aforementioned Kleavor have shown us, so who knows.
You'd think we would have learned from the dustox situation
Eh, pre-Dexit I'd agree. But now, after they eliminated Mega-Evolution/Primal Reversion, no way they bring them back(even though it would make sense, and Dialga and Palkia need a boost). Even if they did, I'd expect it in BDSP, not here. This one's probably just Arceus, or Arceus for plot and a handful of legendaries lategame as secret hidden bosses/easter eggs.
