>Like Darkrai and Shaymin before it, Arceus was not officially recognized by Nintendo until February 14, 2009, the year of its debut movie. It was officially revealed to international audiences on August 3, 2009. >Genesect was leaked in the August issue of CoroCoro magazine on July 11, 2012, and it was officially revealed on July 14, 2012. >Volcanion was leaked in the January 2016 issue of CoroCoro magazine on December 12, 2015, and it was officially revealed on December 14, 2015. There has never been a time where a mythical Pokemon was revealed in the same year as the first games of the next generation. Discuss.

>>35063745 When Volcanion got revealed 17 days before the end of the year, your pattern doesn't really hold up.

>>35063840 Prior to Volcanion, a mythical Pokemon had never been revealed less than a year before a new gen. Prior to gen 7, you could've called THAT the pattern.

>>35063745 So it might actually be possible for gf to market zeraora as a gen 8 Mon who can be previewed in usum and possibly unlock an in game event in gen 8

>>35063745 Doesnt mean that can't and isn't about to change. Or Zeraora is being saved for Gen 8

>>35063901 Or gen 8 comes out in January 2019 so patterntards can claim to still be right.

>>35063889 >>35063907 Patterns are the only thing there is to base speculation on. Why are some people so opposed to even talk about an idea just because it's a pattern?

>>35063894 >>35063901 Zeraora's getting distroed for the upcoming movie. Like EVERY mythical gets distroed for the movie, it's the selling point of the movie "Come watch this and get your free Metal Slime that'll be gold-dust until we decide to give it out again". Marshadow wasn't in ICY, until it was. Same with this fucker, it'll be revealed in the April movie info dump to drum up interest.

>>35063995 Manaphy didn't get distributed, it just gave a promise you could get it when the next gen came out.

>>35064050 It got distributed in Pokemon Ranger. The preorder movie ticket came with a serial code for downloading the secret Manaphy egg mission. It's the only time a movie event has been for a non-mainline game.
