>>12083951>he's tarnished his credibilityOnly if you haven't been reading everything properly.
He never, ever said 'It's flying' like people make out. Read it in context and it paints a bigger picture.
"Well weeks before Sylveon's reveal I said on twitter it was flying type"
"Please wait just wait for the announcement coming soon, Nintendo and GameFreak have been very secretive of Sylveon's type so I have to be careful. You will want to kill me when you find out!"
-Announcement happens-
See, I told you you would want to kill me! I couldn't reveal it before.
It's pretty obvious what happened and it doesn't tarnish his credibility at all: He's known about the new types for a while, but didn't want to reveal it too soon, else he would be in shit. It doesn't matter that he lied because he knew he had to and that people would find out soon enough.
I can follow this completely, it doesn't ruin his credibility at all, he was just understandably waiting for the right moment. We'll probably get an official announcement soon.
He works at the official Nintendo magazine and probably knew for a while but didn't want to leak it else other magazines may make news of it first, the magazine that features fairy type has probably just been compiled so he sees it as safe to leak the info now.
