I’ve decided to put together this comprehensive guide on how to spot fake leaks. Please add to it in the comments.

>Starters
-Any mention of evolutions based on UK history are fake. There will be no soccer players, thespians, or chimney sweeps. The final evolutions will be random and disappointing.
-Its far more likely that they will be based on some sort of myth or yokai.
>Eevee evolutions
There won’t be any. Period.
>New types
There won’t be any. Period
Other Pokémon
>mentioning that “x” Pokémon is just like (thing from pop culture) = fake
>NPCs
>Any description of the rival this early on is completely false and untrue.
