Pokemon Fans Embrace Fake Leaks as Legends Z-A Develops

As excitement grows for the anticipated title Pokemon Legends Z-A, various ‘leaks’ have emerged online. While most of these leaks appear to be more fictitious than authentic, they have sparked a lively discussion within the community about the nostalgic days of the Pokemon rumor mill.

The dialogue began with a Reddit post where a user shared supposed ‘leaked’ images of Pokemon Legends Z-A, claiming features such as a glimpse at Mega Meganium and a new form of Dubwool.

It appears that very few members of the community are convinced by these leaks, with numerous comments criticizing the quality of the leaked artwork. One comment states, “That Mega Meganium does not resemble official art at all,” while another quipped, “Looks fake as hell but I do miss fake leaks.”

The overall sentiment in the community highlights a love for speculating on upcoming games, and the chance to discuss leaks or rumors before a game is launched.

One user remarked, “Almost assuredly not real but man I’ve missed fake render leaks,” while someone else noted, “The off-season is so dry. At least fakers are stirring up conversation.”

Another chimed in, “Good chance it’s fake, but you know what? Fake Pokemon leaks are a relaxing sight for sore eyes. It’s been a while, I feel.”

Reflecting on the history of leaks, one nostalgic commenter expressed, “I miss CoroCoro scans and fake CoroCoro scans, and the challenge of determining which were real or fake! The periods before X and Y and Sun & Moon releases were thrilling because there was always so much happening!”

Some observers noted that the Dubwool alone looked convincing, with one commenter explaining, “Honestly if it was just the Dubwool I could believe it; the Meganium is what throws me off the most.”

Nonetheless, a few users expressed hopes that these leaks could hold some truth (although highly unlikely), with comments like, “Baphomet Dubwool? Please be real,” and “I only wish this was real because MAN that Mega Dubwool looks awesome and I’ve always loved Dubwool.”

Regardless of whether these leaks are genuine or not, it’s entertaining to see these evidently false rumors circulate, creating hype for the game.
