Also, does anyone remember how GX responded to the lapras image leak from the pokemon let's go speculation that turned out to be real?

Maybe GameExplain aren't even entertaining the idea of discussing it because they don't want to piss off Nintendo. I mean let's say hypothetically it is real and GameExplain knows it is real, would they happily come out and be one of the first groups of people to break NDA and give it legitimacy?

The comment in the most recent gamexplain discussion that I found interesting was when they brought up the sapling, andre said something like "if the sapling is golden sun it would have some interesting implications" which had kind of a weird pause after it. They didn't really follow up on the point very well either it felt like they shifted the conversation away from that point.

God damn I'd be so mad if Banjo gets in and he and Kazooie just have generic bear and bird sound effects

I mean I can kinda accept DK, Diddy and K. Rool with realistic animal sounds, I've never been super big on their actual voices from the games (Though Tsuchiya is funny as K. Rool), but c'mon, Chris Sutherland is Banjo. If they can't get him back for the role then it really shouldn't be that hard to reuse voice clips from Banjo-Kazooie or Banjo-Tooie or even Nuts & Bolts.
They didn't give Isabelle barking sound effects, so I think we'll be fine with Banjo & Kazooie (if they make it in). You could make an argument for Bowser, DK and Diddy being animalistic and thus making the animal sounds fitting, but I don't think that fits for the bear and bird at all.

To be fair the goofy voice acting in Banjo Kazooie is more important to the identity in the series than DK.

Granted I don't know what's up with the animal sounds for the DK crew. It was always weird

I feel like I'm asking this every day now, but what the hell is going on?
Mr. Grinch put a Trump Curse on "The Insiders" and now we have to pay Liam $5 to give Shadow guns in Smash before Joey the Gamer releases the evidence that Jon from GameXplain is up to sketchy business involving Incineroar leak-bait conspiracies.

I can see Nintendo freaking out about this leak and telling their press partners to zip it.

That doesn't explain why independent people like Liam are so adamant it's fake. Unless they're paranoid of being mega black balled. Even then I would assume you'd just go silent over arguing the leak is fake while hinting at a missing pokemon/incineroar.

This is the most accurate sum up of the past few hours

Cover it. Say wow this all looks real but I don't know doesn't look too definitive. End by saying they could see how it's real but can't in good concience say it is yet.

There you got a discussion out without pissing off Nintendo and didn't imply it to be real and weren't ignoring the biggest Nintendo story of the week

This is literally not how journalism works.

I want to be polite about this, but as someone who works in local news, the sort of coverage I've seen of the Grinch rumors isn't journalism either.

Vetting and protecting sources is one thing. But it would be a big ethical breach to flaunt information told to you in confidentiality, and no editor would let it fly to have the extent of your reporting on a credible-looking thing be "Thing isn't real. I'm not going to tell you why but it just isn't."

To be fair, it does sort of harken back to the Rare's SNES games, where DK and Diddy did make realistic ape/monkey sounds
