It spoke about Alcreamie way before yesterday's Direct so, could it be true?
"Some of them getting new clothes" could explain Red's new design in Pokemon Masters and this might use the Pokemon Masters trainer models(Or Masters is using SwSh models, it could go either way). It would basically be the return of the Pokemon World Tournament and would fit the football theme of Galar really well.
Anyway, I don't really believe this. I would believe it if talked about Alcreamie by name but the description has so little detail that it could be just a guess.
"prehistoric black caveman" what the actual fuck

Yeah, unless that is an extremely misrepresented description by someone whose English isn't very good, that's a fake leak.
Considering the gym battles, I think it's pretty likely we'll get that for online battles too.
Personally, though I really liked Gen VII in the sense that they really worked with the Alola region, I feel like they kinda started to go way too much into Disney direction with the new designs. This whole debate of "they don't look like Pokémon anymore".
The Gen VIII designs (so far) had something to them, that I can't point, that, I repeat, TO ME, they give me that "Pokémon" vibe, at least more than Gen VII or even VI did. Drednaw could've very well been a Gen III Pokémon, or even a Gen I if you tone it down a little. Alcreamie and Rolycoly could've been from Gen V (which already had its own "don't look like Pokémon" phase but almost 10 years later they've already become part of the "definition" of Pokémon). Duralodon also could work as a Gen II or III, if it wasn't for the way its artwork is colored.
tl;dr; I feel they're portraying a more defined "Pokémon feeling" than the previous two generations in general, even if I'm not particularly fascinated by one design individually.
Awesome, thanks for explaining. I don't personally feel the same way, but it's really interesting how different peoples' perceptions of what makes a good Pokemon design can be!
No, just the legitimate 4chan leak but I won't say anything because it contains major spoilers.
Yeah no idea why it gives that impression to me too, I just copy/pasted some parts of the video lol
I'm pretty sure they don't, or if that's the case, they have very strange ways to "avoid her at all cost" considering she's appeared in the past two generations: in the Kalos Pokédex and the Alola Pokédex (from Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon which is even more recent). Besides that, she was featured this past winter on a Pokémon Go event. (And of course, obviously Let's Go but that's not indicative of anything).
Fire fighting is good typing. Much better than what the leaker said.
I like the typing but I don't want it for a fourth starter. That's a bit ridiculous.
I was looking for it, right in time for my lunch break :D
Jynx doesn't really appears in the anime anymore, doesn't get merch,etc.
Yep! Jamie Hewlett and Damon Albarn did a stage adaption of Journey to the West between Demon Days and Plastic Beach. Its companion album was also meant to be credited to Gorillaz, but couldn't for legal reasons.
You only need to look at the other two gen five starters to see GF reasoning. Serperior was the third mono Grass type starter by gen five, and same goes with Samurott with it being the third mono water type starter. No one notice the trend because they were too preoccupied with the third fire/fighting starter in a row.
Yeah I remember that adaptation! Wow it's been so long that I just realized that I never actually saw any artwork for Journey to the West ever. That's so trippy.
Silhouette of Yamper's evolution on the wall behind the Chairman? Looks like a sleek racing dog. Electric greyhound?
I think so

The difference is maintaining the original typing of the starter isn't something I'd expect changed. It just felt weird dealing with three fire fighting starters in a row, since if you are going to do secondary typing, why fighting again and again?
Except if the leaker is right, what we're getting is even worse lol
The guy from the leak later corrected saying pure fire (and the original leak wording of it was weird as it said it will have fighting moves despite being a pure fighter lol).
Haha I think I know which part you're talking about. Pretty sure it was a typo.

Greyhound would make a lot of sense, in the UK we still have a fair few tracks that support greyhound races. Little weird for Yamper to completely change dog breed but I guess it is just classified as "Puppy".
God, that would be so cool.

In terms of anime and merch there's lots of Pokémon that have been ignored for years too.
However Jynx has been at least relatively present in the latest TCG expansions. So again, I don't think they have anything in particular against Jynx, not more or less than any other Pokémon that hasn't been that featured either, like Dewgong, Venonat, Shiftry, etc.
Anyways, even if she's been banned from anime and merch, that's a separete thing from the videogames, and in the videogames she's been anything but ignored, especially in the latest generations, so I don't know why it couldn't gain a new form/gimmick in the new games. That can just be ignored from the anime like most Mega evolutions if they have to.
With Infernape it was just a coincidence, like how Feraligatr was the second mono water type pokemon in a row. That's my guess, and with Emboar they just wanted a three of a set for the starter types for some reason.

...but Corgi... :(
Yeah seems possible that Yamper evolves into that silhouette. Especially since it looks to have an electric bolt tail.
Oh, when you said "even worse than fire/fighting" I assumed you meant "pure fighting" XD
Edit: about electric dogs, just bring Luxray back, and make him part Dark you cowards.
Also, anime wise, I'm going to guess that Ash's companions this time around are going to be Milo and Nessa, he always seems to have at least one gym leader with him.
Milo just screams lovable oaf, and Nessa seems like another female companion/possible love interest. Don't see them going for the female trainer this go round.

It'll probably turn into a Greyhound.I see Team Sword remains the undisputed leader. As it should.
Also the Corgi growing big wont' stop it being cute. Imagine something like this, but you know, electric-y:
Eeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Hope not. But it'd make a lot more sense, yeah. They're not as cute though :/
I rather they move away from journeying gym leaders. I always found it weird for them to neglect their duties. and now with corporate sponsors and shit, it's a proper job they can't be running around with some kid for
It shoots electricity. It needs no damn sleekness damnit! :P
It's a reality, they are going to be his coach. If anyone gets Ash to win a league, they wins the contest.
