    FREE POKEMON SHINY ZAMAZENTA AND SHINY ZACIAN GIVEAWAY | GAME

    To you guys or anyone else looking to get a Shiny Zamazenta and a Shiny Zacian, you can submit your address there for the codes. Its a UK site, but the codes work just fine. I just got mine this morning. Took about 2 days.
    I didn't know this going in, so its probably been said, but the only issue though is that each code only works for a certain version. So if you're on Sword, you can only redeem Zamazenta. Should not be a problem if you own or have access to both versions.

    Just for some conversation.

    Not sure if you guys are aware but the guy (The Chinese Riddler) the one responsible for most of the gen 7 Dex leak, Let's Go leaks and half of Gen 8's (he did get things wrong) has been leaking things for a while now.

    To simplify his riddles and stuff, the list of leaked Pokemon follows:

    Cyndaquil, Rowlet and Oshawott do get new final evolutions and they are fire/ghost, grass/fighting and water/dark types.
    Voltorb line gets Hisuian Forms
    Goodra line gets Hisuian Forms and they are Dragon/Steel
    Avalugg gets a Ice/Steel or Ice/Rock form (controversy over it)
    A bear Pokemon will get a new evolution (controversy over it)
    Qwilfish will get a new evolution
    Sneasel will get a new evolution
    Arezu's Noble Pokemon she looks after is the final evolution of a Hisuian Form and new evolution of a already existing Baby Pokemon (the main contender is Jynx)


    The controversies spoken of is that Centroleaks copied the riddler but said it was an evolution to Ursaring, while Riddler only stated it was a bear and said Centro was right about the bear evolution. Which people have taken has confirmation on it being Ursaring but that's not what he was confirming.

    The other controversy is The Chinese Riddler hinted at Avalugg being ice/steel by the image they used (Project: Habbakkuk) but later revealed the leaked Chinese name which translates to Ice Rock Monster. Another leaker who has been continously taking his leaks and adding speculation (under the form of factual leaks) did the same thing but complicated the leak to look like Avalugg's line would become a ice/rock Bergmite>ice/rock Avalugg>ice/steel new evolution. Which created an uproar of he said/he said and the Chinese Riddler has stopped leaking out of frustration. With the other leaker deflecting his part in it.

    A new leaker has come out of the woodwork now in the riddler's reply section (which many question is the riddler's new account), but they state:

    That there are no abilities in the game (we haven't seen any mention of abilities and they were indeed absent from Drifblim's stat page in a trailer but still no confirmation) and that pretty much items will replace abilities and that there are items that mimic certain abilities and only work on certain pokemon. This goes with the crafting mechanics of the game.

    They revealed that Goomy and Sligoo are Dragon/Rock and one item prevents water attack damage, while the other item allows them to evolve into a dragon/steel Goodra. But we have no reason to believe this at this time.

    Now, we have no literal evidence on any of this being true, but it is interesting to see what might happen out of this or what will be true. What are your guys thoughts, do any of you want any of this to be true?

    I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this. I do like each line, but I may need to see the final forms to make a judgement.

    Oh definitely, its also strange that there's no info or rumors on the gen 4 starters getting anything.

    all grains of salt though until officially revealed otherwise.

    EDIT: I should point out though the reason anyone is believing these leaks is because the one riddle had Zoro and Perona from One piece in it and that was before Hisuian Zoroark and its typing was officially revealed.

    Zoro=Zoroark and Perona=Ghost (due to her powers)

    I personally don't trust any "leaks" Centro says since they tend to just do that twitter trick where they spout out any rumor they see and when it's false, they either just delete the tweet or just pass it off as "false intel". Remember when they said Mega pokemon were in the Crown Tundra? Heck, all the leaks that did end up being real are super obscure/hidden/burried that only tend to pop up after the fact anymore. That said, I haven't kept up with the pokemon leak game so much anymore and very mcuh out of the loop.

    As for this talk specifically
    Not sure how I feel about those starters getting regional variant evolutions since their regional starter counterparts will still be left in the dirt and didn't the professor bring them from other regions? How would they evolve into hisuian forms if they're not from hisui?
    If Voltorb gets a Hisui form, it better be a rock or a boulder, or something you find in the wild since Voltorb are initially only found where people find pokeballs on the ground or high elecricity powerplants.
    I can definitely see the goodra line getting a more snail-inspired variant since it's based on a snail yokai to begin with. Same with sneasil but as a different yokai.
    I'd laugh if Jynx was hisuian-ized and it turns out that weird jynx voice found in the files of pokemon home were just for that.
    Qwilfish is a weird one to get an evo. I can't imagine it turning into anything else but a bigger pufferfish...
    Avalugg and "bear" is neat but currently neutral on the idea of them getting something.

    I'm going to laugh so friggin hard if all these hisuian forms are in the coding of BDSP and get leaked again. Honestly, I think BDSP should get a dlc round later down the road where you can explore the event pokemon from DPP as well as other goodies that'll let you transfer the hisui forms there. That way, by the time the DLC drops, we'd most likely have Legends in our hands.

    The Riddler has alluded that:

    Voltorb line will look like an Apricorn and a Legends Arceus Pokeball
    Sneasel's evolution is apparently the leaked image of the rock climbing Ride Pokemon from February. Which makes sense the "leaf" that everyone thinks is a Nuzleaf evolution would just be Sneasel's "feather-ear" it has but longer.
    The image used for Qwilfish is a Cactuar from Final Fantasy with the image file called Creature and Qwilfish's Japanese name in it. Some are theorizing a Creature of the Black Lagoon style evolution for it found in the swamp area of the region.
    The bear is an odd one since its a weird lazy looking one from some low budget animated film. Kind of orange and clownish in nature, which makes me wonder a Spinda evolution.

    Oh there's a couple of other things.

    The Riddler also showed a pic of two hearts made of clouds overlapping and said this was a new mythical.

    No one can figure it out, but I honestly think its a new form/Pokemon to go with Manaphy and Phione. Since the big gimmick of Manaphy is Heart Swap.

    the other thing is that in total there is 17 Hisuian forms and 7 New Pokemon total.

    It is odd that they haven't shown their evolved forms yet, but I guess its still a bit early for that.

    Still waiting on whether the National Dex (all Pokemon) and Mega Evolutions/Primals/Ultra Necrozma will be back or whether I will be avoiding Gen 8 like the plague and still screaming at Nintendo/Game Freak and staying in #DexIt

    At this point, the only way I can see them doing that is by removing literally everything from a game and making it a battle simulator. Actually not a bad idea but i don't see them doing it.

    Honestly, dude. Dexit failed. It failed for a long time. It's best to throw in the towel and enjoy the shiny pokedex you got in the games they can. Just like how i have to cope with only petting Wooloo in pokemon Go. If not, you're just letting all that work go to waste.
