>>22694308New guy, jumping in because you're being unbelievably moronic.
>There was the lucario fighting fire chicken shot which came out before anything official was revealed. We call those leaks.No we don't. A leak is information, actual correct information or images or videos or whatever, of a product under development released unofficially without the consent of the developer or publisher. That's why it's "a leak." The developer wishes to block off all information getting out before they want it to and "the leak" is that information "leaking" out of their blocks.
Leaks are, in fact, pretty much illegal, because developers and publishers make iron clad Nondisclosure agreements with all parties involved to prevent shit like this. That's why "leaks" are often blurry or unfocused or otherwise not terribly well shot. Because they're done on the sly. It's also why fakers get away with making such shit fakes, because people expect leaks to be low quality.
What you're talking about is "a teaser." Something officially released with little to no context to build hype while the developer or publisher prepares a more in depth trailer or press release, often quite a ways down the line. That Lucario fighting Blaziken thing? That WAS official. It was shown as part of an official Pokemon retrospective at an official Pokemon event. The specific product had not been officially named, but that teaser was nevertheless official confirmation something was being developed.
See image related. Top pic is a leak, information "leaked" to the public against nondisclosure agreements and not by the official developers or publishers of Lego by someone with access to this information and against legal agreements. The bottom is an "official" teaser made by the official developers and publishers of Lego to make people hyped for the thing they had not yet revealed in more detail.
Words mean things.
