>>36593377There is so much wrong with this post I almost don't even know where to start.
>Why would Niantic, a spin-off company that isn't even owned by either TPC or Nintendo, have access to the model of a Pokemon for a gameBecause you're confused about which game the Pokemon is actually for, retard. The LGPE reveal trailer said you'll meet the new mon in LGPE and can then send it to GO as a gift. We don't actually know if the new mon is usable in LGPE at all, or if "meeting" it is just a story event that unlocks a one-way transfer to GO. Regardless, the new mon is "for" GO so of course the people making the game have access to its model.
>doesn't come out for another two monthsYes, because as we all know game updates are coded from scratch the day before they're released and info has never leaked early from the developers uploading the files months in advance. Were you dropped on your head as a baby or did your mom just smoke a little too much crack?
>said "special" Pokemon probably won't even be revealed until mid 2019Again, the announcement said you meet the Pokemon during LGPE. They wouldn't say that if it were a DLC event that wasn't scheduled for another year. It's going to be obtainable through normal gameplay on day 1 and revealed before the games come out. Quit being retarded.
