>>35638846>If it's a ruse, it requires the coordination of multiple people>Additional source leaking to SerebiiDoesn't exist, Serebii only reported it because people were talking about it. He even tweeted this much.
>Emily RogersHad nothing to do with the leak:
https://www.resetera.com/threads/pok%C3%A9mon-for-nintendo-switch-speculation-thread-2-what-defines-a-new-thread.38175/page-91#post-7824982It's just PixelPar and the tripfag, who could very easily be the same person given how quickly PP responded after the logo being posted.
>It requires someone who is a good artist and knows their Japanese for the logo.It's literally just the Japanese anime logo. You don't need to 'know Japanese', all you do is just trace the logo. It takes less effort than it does to mock-up any other fake screenshot we see every year.
>It requires them to have thought about registering a domain through CSC to make it look legit.Easy, anyone with half a brain would do that.
>waiting until the leak gains traction before registering the domains.They clearly didn't though, because the domains were registered on the 15th and the leaks didn't gain traction until the 16th. As mentioned here you can see they were registered within hours of the post:
>>35638467>not bought the obvious pokemonletsgo.com domainYes, that's what makes it not believable.
>considered the legal ramifications of putting Nintendo's details in the whoisWhen you register a domain the registrar will be very clear about that. Every other squatter knew this too (Which by the way, were registered through CSC).
>Pixelpar going through all the preamble about predicting the Nintendo Direct months agoHe said 'Before April' in January and it came out in March. Hardly a prediction.
>Nintendo registered some domains to protect their trademarksThey're not trademarked. You can't register a domain to protect a trademark, you have to register a trademark to *potentially* win ownership of an existing domain.
