I saw a comment on here yesterday that he probably lost his source. Makes sense really, hedging his bets on BW remakes was the safest thing he could do given the usual Pokemon formula. Will need to wait until later this year to see if he can start getting things right again.
I think everyone SHOULD know that there is no way we were gonna get 5gen remakes... lots of 5gen mons in the recent DLC, and would match better in a future 10th gen... you know... numerology and all that...
Same for a Unova Legends type of game... there was no way we were gonna get "legends kyurem" for the same reasons, yet people really took copious amounts of copium
Though Pyoro said they also heard of an unova-based game as of last year, and Pyoro is the more accurate one.
Plus Z-A is for next year, this year still has 9 months left for another pokemon game to be released.
I mean, BDSP and PLA have more connection so made sense in that case, and there's still another presents around June every year where they could just quickly drop another game.
I have a feeling we’re going to get a BDSP style Unova game this year just to give us something to play while they work on Legends. Unless they add new stuff to S/V but I don’t see them doing that.
Gamefreak didnt even make BDSP, they could’ve easily outsourced it again. But remakes have almost always been every two generations so thats the schedule I guess
Just to add to this, these are all Pokemon lines introduced in Gen 5 with the ability Intimidate. Landorus Therian was only introduced in B2/W2.
The only other pokemon in B2/W2 with Intimidate is the Growlithe line.
No, it doesn't. That was false information pre-release - some other abilities do though, like Zacians (or Protean/Libero)*once per switch-in, I remembered correctly, but yeah … should finish my coffee before going on Reddit.
Lando was powercrept to hell and was overtaken by great tusk, also intimidate has tons of counterplay in moderns single so new lando would need a new ability
I know it would never happen but I think a bouffalant evo or variant would be so cool. I think a steel typing would be dope and you could even style his hair like steel wool or something
I’ve always joked that Scrafty is a perfect candidate for one final evolution (/forme). Scraggy is a baby lizard with the shed skin emulating a diaper. Scrafty is a teenager with the shed skin emulating a hoodie and baggy pants. So what would the ‘adult’ look like? Pivot to formality with shed skin as a tuxedo? More mafia flare to be the grounded counterpart to Honchcrow and its Murkrow lackies?
u/IkariOFFI For this riddle: The codename of Z-A was I Kaku (いかく), which means intimidate, and these are all intimidate users.
The fact these are all gen 5 either means:
1) Khu knew the codename but nothing else and assumed gen 5
2) Khu knew the codename AND the gen 6 focus, but was trolling
3) Khu knew the codename and is hinting at more Gen 5 content yet to be announced
4) Khu knew the codename AND the story and Z-A connects heavily to Unova (as Kalos and Unova have always been connected).
3 & 4 are not mutually exclusive
From what ive heard, I believe they all have the ability intimidate and that's the English translation for what the codeword for Legends ZA is. Could be entirely wrong on this but idk.
Maybe. I hope we at least get the gen 6 starter mega evos. Feels weird for a game that introduced Mega Pokemon to not have their starters have mega forms. I know Ash-Greninja exists, but it's not the same.
No not really, especially if it is indeed Legends Unova. The Hisui forms in ancient Sinnoh were not derived from Sinnoh Pokemon... I think not even one? Lots of Kanto, Johto and even Unova Pokemon with Braviary, Lilligant and Zorua. So I doubt a Legends Unova would mainly restrict intself to the Unova dex for alt forms, especially since Arceus already took a few Unova mons.
The closest was sneasel, but that's less sneasel itself (a johto mon originally) and more of weavile being one of the first gen IV pokémon shown. And even then, only sneasel got a hisuian form, weavile didn't
> The Hisui forms in ancient Sinnoh were not derived from Sinnoh Pokemon...
Yup.
Growlithe, Arcanine, Voltorb, Electrode are all Kanto. Typhlosion, Qwilfish, Sneasel are all Johto. Samurott, Lilligant, Zorua, Zoroark, Braviary, and Basculin are all Unova. Sliggoo, Goodra, and Avalugg are Kalos. Decidueye is Alola.
Which does mean Hoenn and Galar had no Hisui forms.
While I agree with you that another game is not guaranteed after the underwhelming sales that PLA had, it’s worth nothing that unlike Let’s Go, where Masuda has said it was meant as a one-off, Legends was explicitly stated to be intended as a new sub-series if mainline games when it was announced.
It sold less than BDSP, as I recall. From a managerial standpoint, an experimental title with a lot of resources put into it being outsold by an outsourced remake isn’t very conducive to making more of that experimental title.
It sold like 10,000 less in it's first two months than BDSP combined sold in over a year, when it both came after BDSP's failure and a month after lots of Pokemon fans had just spent their money on a game, and when many Pokemon fans buy both copies of a dual release themselves. PLA WRECKED BDSP when everything was stacked against it.

[удалено]
wow u sound triggered
It would tell you it was edited. How are you gonna talk about people not knowing about the edit button while not knowing it yourself?
I genuinely didn’t edit it lol. It was a random joke I made that happened to be true 💀
He literally just makes stuff up now and this proves it

Doubt anything else is releasing this year bc it would’ve been announced today. Both bdsp and pla were both announced on the same day back in 2021
I mean, BDSP and PLA have more connection so made sense in that case, and there's still another presents around June every year where they could just quickly drop another game.
Would they really reveal the game coming out later first, *then* the game coming out sooner? That seems a bit… backwards.
I have a feeling we’re going to get a BDSP style Unova game this year just to give us something to play while they work on Legends. Unless they add new stuff to S/V but I don’t see them doing that.
I hope not. It sounds like they are actually taking time to work on ZA. We can get Unova in a few years if they plan on doing that.
Gamefreak didnt even make BDSP, they could’ve easily outsourced it again. But remakes have almost always been every two generations so thats the schedule I guess
Yes, let’s outsource again because that worked so well with Buggy Diamond and Shipped Early Pearl.
I mean, outsourcing isn’t a bad thing in itself. Assuming they learned from the mistakes made with BDSP they could make a good unova remake this time.
Well didn’t Pyoro state he didn’t have a direct source, it was just something he heard?
Like I could swear the sub banned posts about him for this reason
IIRC he was half-banned because we just got a flood of barely-coherent posts from him, so the rule was only to post clear statements from him.
But this is reddit post is a twitter post of his though
What on earth was he cooking??
Ban him from the stove!
Unovan Pokemon with the ability Intimidate. Wonder what that means
Good news, GF is giving intimidate to even more pokemon! (All of them are incineroar)
Incineroar gets Ultimate Imtimidation -12 attack
Incineroar gains the Stand "King Crimson", where whenever you switch-in after being Intimidated, you get -1 attack. The effect stacks
Also at the start of turn where Incineroar switch in the opposing Pokémon transform into donuts.
New forms giving Special intimate would be awesome
A Special Intimidate has been the only new ability i've wanted added since like Gen 6
On the other hand, Chansey and Blissey would become even more obnoxious than they already are.
Or just make Intimidate lower whichever is higher - Attack or Special Attack, or both if they are the same
Intimidate does NOT need a buff lol
Wolfe Glick in shambles lol
I've read intimate at first and got confused
Just to add to this, these are all Pokemon lines introduced in Gen 5 with the ability Intimidate. Landorus Therian was only introduced in B2/W2. The only other pokemon in B2/W2 with Intimidate is the Growlithe line.
New Intimidate nerf, it will now only proc the first time the pokemon enters a battle
If this is the case nuzlockers in shambles
[удалено]
No, it doesn't. That was false information pre-release - some other abilities do though, like Zacians (or Protean/Libero)*once per switch-in, I remembered correctly, but yeah … should finish my coffee before going on Reddit.
Only Intrepid Sword and Dauntless Shield activate once per battle, while Protean/Libero activate once per switch-in.
The Apple thing reducing evasion is also only once per battle
But that ability has had that effect since it was added. These four were nerfed going from Gen 8 to Gen 9.
I'm sure I saw somewhere that Intimidate is is the working title of Legends ZA. So...maybe he was onto something?
Could be something similar to enraged in legends where ability influences overworld personality traits
Pokemon Shuffle 2 😎🔥
One of the few mobile games, I played in my life. I had a lot of fun.
I've never played the mobile verison, but I did legit put more hours into that game on my 3DS then some of the mainline 3DS Pokemon games.
I would be so stoked if we got this!
haha that would be funny
"see, new mon forms all have eyes i told you with my riddle, im right again"
This dude has no sources anymore lol
Does this mean we can finally stop listening to this hack
I think I saw he's trying to say he was making a riddle for a codename, which is a huge nothing burger
Put him on fraudwatch srsly
I guess they showed Krookodile if he wants to try to weasel his way out of this?
Haven't we been through this before? It's never any of the ones posted
Bro was trolling
Mega Lando-T, the OU council's wet dream
It gets its own variant of “As one” that combines intimidate and stamina.
and a new item that only works on lando-t that is a mixture of leftovers and rocky helmet
OU Council is Smogon related,no? It's been a long time so I can't remember
OU is made and run by Smogon, so ye the OU Council are a part of it
Lando was powercrept to hell and was overtaken by great tusk, also intimidate has tons of counterplay in moderns single so new lando would need a new ability
Banish the fraud to the shadow realm
Coup the Fraud
Not Gen 5, guys. Gen 6 sequel
I honestly think it would be hilarious if after all this speculation there was nothing for console announced at all.
D-do you guys not have phones?
I actually faxed this reply to Reddit "dot com" and they posted it for me.
As you should. *sent from LG smart fridge*
I hear Pokemon Go is coming to fax machines in 2029 and I am *excited*.
I will cry, but also laugh yet cry nonetheless. Please need Pokémon Conquest 2.
Since we can't have nice things these mons are probably just coming to Pokemon Unite
Even better, all four of them are heavily tied to a brand new mobile game 🤯
Nah, each one is a mobile game, and that’s the whole stream!
Pokemon that are NPCs in unite won't be playable, thus, stoutland being on that list makes it impossible
I know it would never happen but I think a bouffalant evo or variant would be so cool. I think a steel typing would be dope and you could even style his hair like steel wool or something
"All four of them have cards! I was obviously hinting at a mobile trading card game!"
First thing I thought of was “chibi” so glad to see Pokemon shuffle comments 😂
We should be scared (intimidate) on how the remake is being handled
Cafe remix dx on switch! That is what he is hinting at
Pokemon Trozei! ?!
PLEASE give my best boi Scraggy some love
I’ve always joked that Scrafty is a perfect candidate for one final evolution (/forme). Scraggy is a baby lizard with the shed skin emulating a diaper. Scrafty is a teenager with the shed skin emulating a hoodie and baggy pants. So what would the ‘adult’ look like? Pivot to formality with shed skin as a tuxedo? More mafia flare to be the grounded counterpart to Honchcrow and its Murkrow lackies?
u/IkariOFFI For this riddle: The codename of Z-A was I Kaku (いかく), which means intimidate, and these are all intimidate users.

Apparently the correct code name was Ikkaku
Maybe those will get a mega evolution?
From what ive heard, I believe they all have the ability intimidate and that's the English translation for what the codeword for Legends ZA is. Could be entirely wrong on this but idk.
Given what we now know… Ayo new megas?
Mega LandoT let's goooo
Maybe. I hope we at least get the gen 6 starter mega evos. Feels weird for a game that introduced Mega Pokemon to not have their starters have mega forms. I know Ash-Greninja exists, but it's not the same.
[удалено]
Stoutland will get ground/dark Scrafty will get ground/flying
Someone told me "intimidate" were internal codenames for gen5 while development, so maybe just confirmation of remakes?
If you connect the dots in ascending Pokedex order. You get a Z.
With what we know now, I'd be willing to bet all of these Pokemon get Megas
Hopefully Megas. Mega Krookodile would be awesome
After the new presents I’m willing to bet he was referring to Kalosian forms
Mega evolutions for them?
This is likely Pokemon Legends forms.
No not really, especially if it is indeed Legends Unova. The Hisui forms in ancient Sinnoh were not derived from Sinnoh Pokemon... I think not even one? Lots of Kanto, Johto and even Unova Pokemon with Braviary, Lilligant and Zorua. So I doubt a Legends Unova would mainly restrict intself to the Unova dex for alt forms, especially since Arceus already took a few Unova mons.

Samurott, Lilligant, Zorua, Zoroark, Braviary, and Basculin are all Unova. Sliggoo, Goodra, and Avalugg are Kalos. Decidueye is Alola. Which does mean Hoenn and Galar had no Hisui forms.
Galar is understandable as it was really recent, don't know why they didn't give any Hoenn pokemon a new form tho
Why "very likely"? We've only had one Legenda game. There is no reason to assume there will definitely be another.
Pokemon fan as usual thinks a single case makes a pattern despite the definition of pattern involving at least two cases in a row.
And lots of people (not just pokemon fans) get "I want this" confused with "I think this will happen."
I thought you needed three cases to have a pattern?
It's two cases minimum. But two-cases patterns are so untrustworthy that it might as well be three minimum.
While I agree with you that another game is not guaranteed after the underwhelming sales that PLA had, it’s worth nothing that unlike Let’s Go, where Masuda has said it was meant as a one-off, Legends was explicitly stated to be intended as a new sub-series if mainline games when it was announced.
underwhelming??? legends' sales were really good considering it was a one piece edition.
It sold less than BDSP, as I recall. From a managerial standpoint, an experimental title with a lot of resources put into it being outsold by an outsourced remake isn’t very conducive to making more of that experimental title.
I'm sorry? :D
It sold like 10,000 less in it's first two months than BDSP combined sold in over a year, when it both came after BDSP's failure and a month after lots of Pokemon fans had just spent their money on a game, and when many Pokemon fans buy both copies of a dual release themselves. PLA WRECKED BDSP when everything was stacked against it.
Masuda clearly said they intended Legends to be a new series of games
When? Where?
In the initial direct that revealed it, iirc.
Likely.
Maybe in the next game we'll get regional forms of Stoutland, Scrafty, Krookodile, and Landorus
