SPOILERS! Legends ZA Data Dumps - Adding Info to OP
- Thread starter DHR-107
- Start date
Quite the opposite; SciresM (one of the dataminers) said that there was no trace of the Raichu Mega Stones in the pre-load data (whereas the item flags for Heatran, Darkrai, and Zeraora’s Mega Stones were present), so it’s likely all base Z-A.
I haven't seen any of the main leak accounts repost this. Might be fake?
I had heard it was a fake as well. Doesnt seem to have the flowing hair description we had on my list.
Here I am thinking that because this game’s Rotom Phone has 3 lenses, while SwSh’s had 1 and SV’s had 2, this means SwSh and SV must take place within the three years between SM and ZA
i know :(( i just wanna see my favorite pokemon’s mega… lemme have hope
bro looks like hes going to get Supreme Overlord as his ability (please)

Why do people who leak those games always have the worst phone cameras known to mankind lmao.
I think this is intentional to avoid getting their leaks taken down.
In order for dumps to happen someone who actually knows how to mine needs to get it. And each game stores are less likely to try and break street date lest they face the full wrath of the Nintenjas
The dataminers do not have a physical copy of the game afaik and cannot break past the encryption of the preload. The only reason we have any data right now is because the day one (day zero?) patch wasn't encrypted.
I know, just seems to be taking longer this time than in the past.
yeah and it's also the last time we could ever get one anyway
Poryleaks spoke to someone who played through the game, here are some tidbits:
- Kanto starters are given out by Mable after a couple of side quests
- Kalos starters are available via side quests but eventually appear in wild zones
- Rated mega Excadrill, Barbaracle, Scolipede and Froslass highly. Did not like Feraligatr, Starmie or Pyroar
- There’s a shiny mareep quest similar to the ponyta one from PLA
- Feraligatr’s helmet only closes when it attacks
- “not many” buildings can be entered and the shops are mostly menus again

"IT'S PIKACHU!!!!"
"IT'S MEGA ZYGARDE SEEN FROM BEHIND!"
"FUUUUUUUUUUUUU-"
Gamefreak patents incomplete products after this. Seriously what is that clipping and why do the textures look like they're using the low quality setting, there has to be some kind of effect to make up for that lmao.

Mega Scolipede video is out there (once again not posting b/c of watermark cringe) and good lord they were not kidding whatsoever it looks so unbelievably badass
I think I’ve officially made up my mind I won’t be getting this game, at least not on Day 1. I’ve been arguing with myself on this long enough and I was hoping anything from the leaks, datamines, etc. would help me make my decision for this coming Thursday but everything I’m seeing so far isn’t convincing me to spend $70 on this at any point, and the Mega Feraligatr design is even worse than I expected. So much for wanting to pick Totodile. Not like it’s going to be viable anyways when I’m pretty confident the Life Orb Sheer Force set is going to hit harder than the Mega would unless they give it a strong enough new Ability in Champions (which I also won’t be playing).
The various references to other media are neat, I suppose, and there are some new additions I’m mildly interested in, but I’ve never been a fan of generational gimmicks anyway and speaking as someone who’s really only interested in the game’s story if anything, I can easily save myself the time and effort and just watch this on YouTube or something. Maybe I’m just chronically online too much but I think the overwhelming negativity surrounding this game is finally starting to get to me, because I feel nothing about any of the confirmed information we do have in this thread, and I skimmed through practically every post here.
The difference between this and the combination of Legends Arceus and SV is that the last two games I was just barely able to be convinced to get those games and I enjoyed both of their main stories more than I expected, though I still didn’t care for Paldea’s “open world” and completing the PokéDex in Legends. The only thing to do in those games when you’re done with the story is Shiny hunt, and I have something else more specific I prefer over Shinies. Based off of confirmed information Legends ZA does look to be more structured than SV was which is nice, and I personally welcome the smaller map size since Paldea had to be designed with the Union Circle in mind, but again, this comes with the caveat of a higher likelihood of less content and especially less content beyond the DLC that will actually interest me. Going from “I hate that YouTubers keep spoiling the game” to “I actively want to see spoilers to know if this is even worth it” is not a good look for this game at all, at least for me as an individual. The last time I felt this way, I watched the death of an entire genre unfold right before my eyes at the ripe age of 13 and didn’t even know the last game existed for a while after that. Granted, Pokémon is much, much more popular than those specific games were, but it is still something that scares me especially with all of the hot water Pokémon is in these days.

You can't fool me that easily, that's clearly Mega Calyrex, not Mega Zygarde
Watermarks can't stop me, cause I can't read!
God damn they actually cooked with this one.
For every bad mega (read: starmie) there has to be an equally badass mega to maintain the yin/yang balance
