Oh shit, I just checked my HeartGold and I only have 11 badges. This could tide me over for a while.

Rumored Pokemon X/Y Leaks. Possible Spoiler Warning!
- Thread starter backlot
- Start date
Man, this happens EVERY time a new Pokemon game comes out and it really makes me wonder, what the hell is it about the internet that turns people into idiots regarding Pokemon and fakes? Do some people not have anything better to do than just make up shit, are they that deprived of attention that they need to fabricate stuff up about a video game?
All the time and effort these people put into faking crap could really be used to do something productive. It's fucking sad and embarrassing for them..

Have you seen /vp/? Sad and embarrassing is all some of these people seem to have.
Huh? Why are you so upset? Some people just like having fun making fake Pokemon or fake screens in the same way people fake stuff in ARGs and in, well, every other medium.
This isn't new and it doesn't make people "sad and embarrassing." If it deeply offends you so, just move on.
I was so in the 'Pikablu is the real name' camp.Fakes and rumours is just part of the Pokemon experience. I love it, and have done since I was a little kid and all those crazy rumours of newfangled Gold/Silver Pokemon were floating about.
Never forget.

That was actually something I made up on the fly after deciding that I wanted what I had originally written to no longer exist.

Some people just want to see the world burn.
It's just a bit of fun really. It's part of the Pokémon pre release experience.
i think your just lonely nd need to be loved
Considering the leaks are shot on a webcam, I'm gonna assume they don't own a phone capable of that.
Also because the leakers don't want to be caught for obvious reasons.
If you work for a reviewing site you obviously have enough money to at least purchase a low to mid tier phone capable of accessing Vine or Instagram, and that is one reason why these leeks can't be trusted.
I mean, no leaks can be trusted.
Yeah that's true.
I have crappy old phones and high-end phones in my home and I have never gotten a game early.>:-(
So you break NDA contract tied with one gamings biggest companies... and you post your leaks on social network that requires a standard account detailing your email.. IP... various etc data....
... am I following this right? You might as well go balls deep and post everything in a GAF Thread overload.
Create a new email, and buy a disposable smartphone.

Even without Vine/Instagram, there are a multitude of image uploading services that could be used, and many other ways to upload things relatively anonymously.
Yeah like Mega.

And too afraid to lose their jobs too.
I'm hardly upset, I'll even admit it's slightly entertaining to see what ridiculous rumor or "screenshot" someone is going to put up prior to release, but it still reeks of attention seeking to just make crap up. It's like the stuff children do when no one will pay attention to them.
That, and it doesn't help when people with real information and leaks are trying to show stuff to the community, just to have other idiots jump on the band wagon so they can get a little attention too. I just think it's a waste of time and potential talent to bother making up crap with the intention to really pass it off as real.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Yeah.
For example, this "70 Pokemon only!" spread so fast even though it's fake. Or that text that used the legit Pokemon Center images.

Did we get confirmation of that or are you just assuming?

It was "added in" by another person pretending to be the Greninja leaker iirc

Oh, so no actual evidence that it's fake. Ok.

I still believe Greninja, this one I think's probably fake.
Holy shit, except for the torso, it looks very similar.But basically describes Mega Mewtwo X.
I swear to god that looks like the same angle for the Braixen is evolving pic.
I still believe Greninja, this one I think's probably fake.
So only the pokemon having that ghosting blur?
I still believe Greninja, this one I think's probably fake.
But yeah, it's 2013.

Yeah, it's the same design and probably by the same person.
EDIT: Yep, it's apparently an edit of him fighting Skrelp, thus the poison attack hitting him.

Look at the grass circles. It's fake.
I still believe Greninja, this one I think's probably fake.
That would be hilarious. That thing is atrocious.
I still believe Greninja, this one I think's probably fake.
It's almost certainly fake. Everything is visibly clear except Fennekin3, which just happens to be conveniently blurry.
Also, where is it's other foot? These fakers are just getting sloppy now.

Yeah, like I thought, it was quickly found out to be edited of the Clauncher vs. Skrelp video...you can still see the latter's shadow.
This kind of makes me feel better in trusting Greninja, Hawlucha, and Binacle though, considering how this image was debunked within minutes and finding the exact same frame used, while those have yet to be solidly debunked.

I'm gonna say fake, but that does look kinda cool.

I thought Binacle didn't have shadow... but then the pokedex viewing area probably doesn't have shadows. Also it was the first time we saw that style of screen (from that leaker).

I like how fennikin 3 is extra blurry lol.

For the sole and only purpose of driving you and every other Pokemon fan very slowly, but surely mad.
That way, no one will buy the game and Nintendo will be doomed. And the NSA will win.

Its too rage-inducing to not be true for F3. Its Emboar all over again with the denial stage setting in.
I don't know what you mean, one clearly has a Skrelp and the other has Fennekin 3.
