A joke I like to make with English-speaking people complaining about how bad Paradox Pokemon names are, why not play in Chinese? We got:
"Six Tails"
"Walking Grass"
"Fur Ball"
"Stinky Mud"
"Egg Egg"
"Karp King"
"Mini Dragon"
"Super Dream"
Yes these are all Pokemon names.
One thing that always boggled me is "Why did the professor never bother to give names to any other paradox Pokemon except Koraidon / Miraidon?"
The answer is that the professor never named them either. They were just calling them a name they heard from us.
So apparently Keiran only says this quote when you actually send out Ogerpon.
What do I mean?
He won't say this if you send out a Zoroark disguised as Ogerpon with Illusion.
This indicates his love for Ogerpon is so deep that Bro can see through illusion in this case.
After some testing.
1. Fly to this location, and find this bush.
2. Spin your character clockwise on this spot for 10+ seconds (I tried 5 seconds didn't work)
3. Boot up the camera, and swap to Sepia filter (press left 5 times).

A very sad reality is that the giant lizard who traversed the whole region with you is stuck in the Gen9 games forever, as you can never transfer them out of the game and bring them to future Pokemon games.
We can only transfer away that other one who likely killed the professor
So, if I want to explain how Terapagos's power works:
"Terapago/ Tera crystals have the power to temporarily summon humans or Pokemon from different times and space"
This is showcased by the professor's time machine, and we meet the professor in the crystal pool. (1/4)
Fun fact about Crispin:
He's from Virbank City, this is confirmed. His most well-known Pokemon is Magmortor.
Did you know the Magby line is only catchable in Virbank Complex in Unova?
He likely caught those Magbys around his home as a kid and grew up with them, how sweet.
So, if you boot up a new savefile and go to Kitakami right after you start the Treasure Hunt, you will get a call from Clavell saying you can go to Blueberry Academy -
- Right after you beat Keiran the first time.
THE FIRST TIME!!!!
This makes some very wacky things possible.
Shout out to tgs in the code cracking discord server for noticing this - the exact line that talks about the beautiful coexistance between People and Pokemon looks identical to this line in Rose's tablet in Pokemon SwSh.
Def not a coincidence, but what does it exactly reads?
Apparently Elesa and Clay are already on good terms to begin with.
- Elesa casually calls Clay to lower the bridge
- Elesa specifically told Clay how good you are
- Elesa casually using Clay's name to make some stupid puns
Not suggesting anything, just pointing this out...
GameFreak is starting to put old gen Mythical Pokemon normally obtainable in newer games. It's easy to assume there will be a mythical Pokemon available in SV DLC.
Which Mythical Pokemon do you think will be catchable in Scarlet/Violet DLC?
Japanese people simply call "Pseudo-legendary Pokemon" as"600族" (which means BST 600 families)
They actually have another term for "3-stage stupidly high-level evolutionary lines, slow growth rate Pokemon" called "大器晚成ポケモン" (Late Bloomers).
One reason Ingo was pulled back in time to Legends Arceus was because a pun in his name that only works in Japanese, was lost in translation.
His name ノボリ (Nobori) can mean "climbing mountains" (山に登り) in Japanese, which is the exact thing Sneasler does in the game.

This also explains the encounter with Sada/Turo in Crystal Pool.
Neither we nor Terapagos wanted to meet Sada/Turo. The wish of meeting them was from your giant lizard.
Look how happy they were when they showed up, and how sad they were when they left. (4/4)
So you can totally access Blueberry Academy with 0 badges and do the whole game in a Blueberry Academy uniform. Looks quite hilarious if you think about it.
You wear a Blueberry Academy uniform into the Pokemon League interview and say you are from Naranja Academy, lmao.
In the crystal pool event, we clearly see them reacting like they never heard the name Koraidon/Miraidon before.
We were the ones who told them their names.
This forms a time loop because we heard their name from Arven, who heard this name from his parents.
I personally call them "GameFreak Experimental titles".
I don't really believe either of them will become a new series unless a second one comes along. Before that actually happens, I think GameFreak is just trying some experimental ideas for remakes.
Quick explanation of the "3rd sister in Penny's family" theory.
In Japanese, there's this idiom using 3 flowers to describe the beauty of women. In the idiom, the first 2 flowers perfectly match Peonia and Penny's Japanese names.
Yo, the Pecharunt Epilogue confirms that Penny is Peony's daughter and Peonia's sister! :O
(We talked about this possibility before because of the names lining up, but wasn't entirely expecting because there was no mention of her existing in SwSh afaik.)
Crystal pool was said "You can see people here who passed along".
Honestly, we the players have no reason to think of the professor at that time.
The professor was actually summoned by the thoughts of Koraidon/Miraidon. They were so happy to see the professor one last time.
Alright so we basically know Drayton and Iris are cousins in a way.
Considering there's a time skip from BW2 to SV, who do you think is older?
I believe Iris is older, and I can already see an older champion Iris being quite mean to Drayton causing him reluctant to go home.
One thing to notice is Drayton has repeated 3 years in the academy.
It's obvious enough that Drayton isn't bad enough to be forced to repeat his school year.
People have been theorizing this is because he doesn't want to go back home.
But why?

This also explains why the other explorers didn't see Paradox Pokemon, because they didn't wish to see those creepy monsters.
Only after Sada/Turo used Pokeballs to catch them across time, the paradox Pokemon were able to start staying and inhabit in the modern time. (3/4)
One thing I want to point out, they don't summon random things. In fact, Terapagos doesn't decide what to summon. They only do the correlating time traveling upon reacting to wishes.
Heath/Sada/Turo wanted to see Paradox Pokemon, so Paradox Pokemon were summoned to them. (2/4)
BTW this can be done before you challenge any BB league member
Also, the trigger location seems to be very very specific. Seems like you need to be in this specific bush. (Please let me know if not otherwise)
From Baidu. This person mentioned that he was using Grafaiai and Let's Go slaughtering wild Igglybuffs.
But when sent out to one of the Igglybuff, the Grafaiai shook its head and refused to attack. Tried many times and didn't change.
He battled that Igglybuff. It was shiny.
Didn't people want a badass jerk rival for the longest time and complain rivals nowadays are too "friendly" and "soft"...
Here you have it. A badass jerk rival who is powerful and totally hates us because we hurt him so badly during our visit to his home.
The lore fact that the Tinkaton family actually hunts down steel type pokemon like Bisharp and Corviknight to make its hammer is huge. This explains why Paldea doesn't use Corviknight as a taxi and why Bisharp had the survival pressure to evolve in this region.
@shinyycatherine
Funny enough people were outraged just because a badly poisoned Suicune who fought for days with no rest was accidentally caught by an Ash companion who is good at catching wild Pokemon.
What's funnier is, you can access the Meloetta spawning spot with 0 badges.
If you want to, potentially you can encounter Meloetta within 2 hours after you start the game.
Don't ask me how to catch it with a very under-levelled team. I used Pokedolls to reach here.
@no1gladionfan
My assumption is they actually did design a Leaf for Alola but for some reason they decided to only let the bros show up, so they reworked the Leaf design into the Sightseer trainer.
I'm sure everyone can see how this outfit could work on a tourist Leaf.
If I want to be honest, I hope GameFreak don't release a new Pokemon game in 2024.
They seriously need to have a break year for the sake of the quality of future Pokemon games.
I'd honestly take a 2024 outsourced BW remake, so GF can make a great game again 2 or 3 years later.
@soulsilverart
The hair face eyes are all different, we would only recognize her as Eri because there's only one woman that tall in the whole game.
Also Giacomo is standing next to her.
This is the situation where voice acting will help.
@MagicallyAly
I honestly thought Cynthia was just telling Crogunk without speaking "I can handle this, no need for you to do anything"
Someone as strong as Cynthia really doesn't need this kind of help I guess.
Not only that, but the exact same line also shows up in a poster on the top left of the History class.
I'm gonna be honest I wouldn't be able to catch that. I even went into History class footage to find a shot where that poster is clearer. It is the exact same line indeed.
It's not "The player is the bad guy",
It's "In Keiran's eyes, we are the bad guy".
Just like some people believe Keiran "stole" Terapagos from us. In Keiran's eye, we stole Ogerpon from him.
This doesn't do justice to what he did, but explains what he became.
Guys, please leave a comment to tell me that this is a coding oversight since they hardcoded only Ogerpon will trigger the quote.
I know they didn't think of Zoroark's illusion while coding this. Comments are good for the X algorithm anyway.
I would like to remind people that an "epilogue" means there shouldn't be anything after it. The story has ended.
They aren't planning anything for Scarlet/Violet in the foreseeable future.
Expecting another DLC of it sounds very weird in my opinion.
A new adventure in the Land of Kitakami awaits! An epilogue for
#PokemonScarletViolet
❤️💜 The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero arrives on January 11, 2024!
So with 0 badges, you can make your way to Blueberry Academy and start playing Indigo DIsk, including catching all the Pokemon you can encounter in there.
I am already feeling bad for
@ChaoticMeatball
who likely will do a POC for SV+DLC, that's gonna be tough pre-badge 1.
Don't worry about the battle with Lacey, you can just lose to her and you will still be welcomed into the academy.
They will still say crap like "That was a good battle" man I got one shot by Minun's discharge, that's a very quick battle.
So if anyone is concerned, the map of Unova approximately fits in this frame of the real-world map, as Unova is only based on New York City and some surrounding regions.
No, the Unova region doesn't match the whole US. We can potentially get a West Coast region in the future.
I like the fact that TPC pretty much acknowledged the existence of Early route rodents/birds and bugs from the video. They grouped the Pokemon in a very interesting fashion
@Riddler_Khu
It is very hilarious in my opinion that she managed to catch and train two new team members in Kitakami likely when she was under the influence of the mochi.
They said the mochi enhances people's desire, I guess that's not totally false.
@ActuallyGojo
It was a group effort, someone did some random things and it worked so we tried testing the specific conditions.
It still took us hours of testing to come to a conclusion. Shout out to the code cracking server founded by
@soulsilverart
and
@palkiaorigin
The Japanese website actually gave out the accurate pronunciation of the name of the new game.
They call it "ゼットエー" which pronounces as "Zet A".
Please share and retweet this to let your friends and favorite content creators be aware of this fact.
The fact that Virbank City was brought up in the Indigo Disk means that they didn't forget BW2 locations.
I wonder how it will play in Unova remakes (if they are coming soon)
While the Western community is still arguing that "Archaludon can't be Pseudo-legend because it's not 3 stage slow growth rate", the Japanese community already welcomed this new member to the "600BST family".
It's not a "Late Bloomer", but it's not weaker than any other Pseudo.
This could potentially be the reason why Drayton stayed at BB academy. Here he's the strongest trainer of his small kingdom and doesn't need to bother his grandfather and that "not-related cousin" Iris who outperforms him.
Get why he's so pissed off when Keiran beat him?
@soulsilverart
TBH the Forces of Natures are based on Japanese Kamis, which are usually depicted as ugly deities. GameFreak did a good job of making sure we wouldn't like their appearance.
So if anyone is concerned, deep in the text it is clearly pointed out that Drayden is Drayton's grandfather; also Clay is Lacey's Father.
They are buried in dialogues between Drayden and Hassel/ Lacey and Nemona. Likely are interactions in the League club.
@soulsilverart
Meet Professor Volo, who is a retired travel merchant, and you may choose your first partner pokemon from 3 pokemon he brought in from other regions!
Theoretically these Pokemon in Legends Arceus also count.
I personally don't see them giving out repeat mythical Pokemon at this point, so I guess we will be pandering a Unova Mythical for foreshadowing Unova remakes.
My guess would be either Victini or Melloetta.
@Riddler_Khu
Oh. The vending machine makes sense now. You buy items that can spawn legendary Pokémon from a vending machine.
Something like Rainbow Wing, Silver Wing, Clear Bell etc.
@SuuiXG
Honestly, they should have just provided Clive's hairstyle as an option in the salon.
Giving us a Clive wig makes 0 sense. It's not like Clive himself wears a wig right?
To be clear, the certain post-game event is "The Academy Tournament".
This is a trip to Kitakami with you and your three friends. Nemona will be busy preparing for the tournament once you beat the game. You need to clear the tournament first for her to have time.
More stuff in SV DLC datamine from Chinese social media.
This part seems like a description of a sidequest.
The translation in the image was done by myself (X won't let me put that many words into one post)
Apparently, the theorizing direction went to Iris, who was the Opelucid City gym leader and then became the Unova champion.
It is unknown the age difference between Iris and Drayton, but seemingly Drayton knows he will live under Iris's shadow if he goes home.
Hydro Steam: Does boosted damage under sun. This move's power also doesn't get cut under sun despite being a water type move.
Psyblade: Does boosted damage if the target is on electric terrain.
I'll just put these here, no other comments about them.
I read through the 2 pages, only 2 lines in this image are accurate to what I understood from the CoroCoro image.
Whoever made this post did a very poor job and really caused some misinformation spreading now.
#svleaks
I haven't seen a single fake Pokedex name list that got the 4S in the correct Chinese names. Really, please try harder to make up names OK?
The pinyin of the 4S are Yuyu, Dinglu, Jianbao, and Jianwo. Please contact me if you have trouble making up these names.
@soulsilverart
We know she rides on a turtle cloud to travel around the region, it wouldn't be odd if she also travelled to other regions like this during her long life. (I think it's often considered she's somehow immortal from the tidbits hints in the game)
@InaIshikawa
I pretty much can picture somebody in the game development studio thought this pun was funny and made this decision....... and actually got approved.
Honestly I agree with
@TyranitarTube
take in his latest video, about people's concerning the whole game based on Lumiose City...
...While the whole Unova region is entirely based on New York City and the surrounding metropolitan area. Yeah it's not like they never did it before.
So obviously the Constellation connection is pretty clear. They are literally named after the stars and the position of the flags on the map roughly makes the shape of Cassiopeia.
Alright lets talk some actual stuff.
Z is obvious Zygarde, as we see the hexagons on the logo.
Guess the "A" is a new legendary Pokemon for this game? Makes you wonder that the pattern on the letter A means.
On the Top Right of the box there's a message that reads "無須等到發售日 卡帶已小批到貨 提前試玩聯繫李" Translates to "We have some cartridges, no need to wait till the release date, test play please contact Mr. Li"
Seems like they claim to have the game.
