A little late, but here’s five rumors I think could end up real tomorrow:

This one is long but not crazy detailed. Just explanations of simple things. The Pokémon selection is interesting and the idea of the tower being what marks progress makes a lot sense. So does starting in the present and getting sent to the past. But it also feels like it’s too detailed so I’m not fully buying it.

This one interested me because it’s short, not a perfect read, but also mentions some side modes that feel right up Pokemon’s alley. The concept of making homes in the city for wild Pokemon is a really smart way they could expand your encounters and emphasizing connecting people and Pokemon. Trubbish getting a random evolution and raticate getting another form isn’t too crazy either. Although raticate doesn’t stand out like Meowth or have that mascot quality, so it seems less likely. But we have Pokemon with megas and regional forms, so anything is probably fair game.

Also implies there is time travel, and considering we saw the talonflame evolve and devolve in the trailer, I feel like going between past and present or future is possible. Starters don’t seem realistic though and that drags this down for me.

This is just an idea that would make perfect sense for a phone game or spin off game that could fill that gap between releases. They already had my Pokemon ranch. So a spiritual successor could be really popular given how much everyone loves farming sims. I give it props for being unique and only covering one thing and not going “here’s the entire presents that I somehow know”

Really love this one. We already have the multiverse with Scarlet and Violet, getting a full game that explores that would make sense. After all, ORAS established the games before XY are not in the same universe/timeline as XY. So for us to have a branch universe with different history isn’t completely unbelievable. Seeing a few artworks is also way more believe then the details a lot of this “leaks” give. As a fan of Emma’s character, the idea she comes from a rich family but doesn’t have her best friend or happiness is a great story to play around with. This would also be smart because it allows Masters to now make every Kalos character again but with completely different designs, Pokemon and personalities. A lot of it just adds up to me.

This one is also short, but makes sense. Again predicting time travel which most people overlook the possibility of. Project AZOTH is a plot line most fans forgot about, so it being mentioned here is interesting. No crazy details, and a release date that makes sense if there is a huge mechanic like time travel.

However “the I’m risking everything” line is stupid and likely not what someone would say or care enough about. Also not naming the starters allows them to get away with being more vague, because the A legendary probably won’t be in the trailer. So it could go either way. I’d even potentially move number 2 to this spot instead.

Long list, but honestly there weren’t any truly realistic rumors this year. I have more saved so we shall see if they somehow get proven right.

Overall this should be an interesting presents and hopefully one to remember.

Redownloaded it for the free legends….
Thanks for the tip!
Congratulations! It seems that they have the regular 1/20 Shiny rate, so with 11 encounters (5 of which are Genesect), you have a pretty solid chance at a Shiny Legendary.

Logged into my backup Go account that I use for trading tasks and sadly didn't get anything but I can't really complain as they're free for everyone. lol

Quoting this just for fun (even if the meme is long dead ago
This is where we bring in Calvin's Dad to explain the difference between Marios and Warios. Sonic the Hedgehog, a Mario. Mega Man, a Wario. Donkey Kong, a Mario. Castlevania, a Wario.
Despite having frightening and unsettling imagery, action-packed scenes and anime/manga influences, Kirby is a Mario.

Pokemon Presents tomorrow, so here's an all time Pokemon video
It's short but also language
That particular audience reaction to this scene was a mixture of laughter, shock, tears of sadness, tears of joy, and pure dumbfounded "WTF" responses all simultaneously.

This is how you know you've created a polarizing scene.

I finally watched the new Captain America movie. It was alright.

It's subtle but I liked Sam's character development. He has big shoes to fill but by the end of the movie, he acts like what Captain America should be like, super powers or not.

I also was expecting to dislike Joaquin but he was fun.

I wish Isaiah would get more action, though.

He's not really lazy, it's just he has no control over what humans will do.

Pretty much all Persona endgame antagonists are either human or are born from humans and can only be stopped by people. Not being human, Igor isn't in a position to directly interfere or tell the main characters what to do.
