I have a real hard time believing these are real. Those stories are nuts, but in a completely nonsensical way. They seem like AI generated spooky stories to me, someone just trying to jump in on the leak drama.

Even if they’re “real” the decision was made to not release them. They’re stories that were specifically chosen to not be canon.

Some of the leaks are 100% real, like the source code for BW and HGSS and the personal info of various employees.

Yeah, definitely, I’m not questioning the leaks as a whole, just this story. Big leaks like this are a great opportunity for trolls to throw made up stuff in the mix to try to get it to go viral.

These couple stories just seem really disjointed and without any real structure or meaning. It could certainly be just a mediocre writer playing around at writing fairy tales, or maybe I’m missing context due to translation or something, but I don’t know, just kinda reads like AI written stuff to me.

I see what your saying, but none of it that I’ve read so far hits my AI button. Like it doesn’t sound like AI, it’s just sounds like something you’d write in a notebook and forget about.

I could see some of it being fake just to stir up attention, yeah.

Yeah, I thought that even made it to the English translation in Diamond/Pearl?

I know they changed it for BD/SP

Yes, and I’m pretty sure it was even more explicit outside of the English translation.

That’s about the only thing keeping the franchise going since Nintendo stopped trying.

I never got into Pokemon. I knew one day I would be proven right.
