>>27511574There's just SO much little shit that adds up to making me really suspicious and not ready to believe it fully yet. I admit that it LOOKS like it's confirmed, but I'm not going to say that it's confirmed yet.
Also, people are forgetting that there are other things that the leaker who showed us these starter evolutions got wrong. For example, he said that the bracelet you wear uses stones like mega stones to change the form of your pokemon, almost like a fusion or new type of mega. We now know that that is DISCREDITED. The bracelet is used for Z-moves, which do NOT change your pokemon's form.
There was something else in there that was wrong, but I can't remember what it was. Also, people mention how the leaker said there'd be no traditional gym leaders. I don't take that as confirmation because I have seen dozens of people predict that just based off of the map that they showed us when they saw all the little squares and not many buildings that looked like gyms.
ALSO, people point out his "prediction" of a "fire/poison lizard"
(technically salandit is poison/fire) as though it's more proof. The problem is that the leak was only ever seen AFTER salandit's announcement, and the only evidence that the leaker made the claims before the announcement is: Absolutely nothing more than some dude saying that it was "leaked" a week prior without a shred of evidence or any proof that anyone could find.
