Perkilator Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Spoiler There are a pair of alleged Gen VIII titles I found floating around on Twitter. As always, take this with a grain of salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 That could be legit, actually, as there's another rumor saying the same names that ties into a Pokémon GO screenshot that Masuda posted. It's of a Weedle of a low CP and people think the stats and stuff hint towards these names. I thought people were just looking too into it and Masuda simply felt like posting a screenshot, but seeing these logos now...yeah. I think the names sound weird, but those logos are really neat.

They look real, but as much as I like them, they are fake. If I remember correctly the one who made them said it. The name is in hiragana, so the logo can't be real, and you can find the crowns with these words: "crown vector" That being said, I think that King and Queen will be the real name.

Raven Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I'm not a fan of the King and Queen names. I hope they are fake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentASM Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 These things are nearly always fake. I'm lazy to check, but I think those crowns are stock images you can probably find online. Also, it's highly unlikely they'd write the subtitle in hiragana. Rather, I think it's a rookie mistake from somebody pretending they know Japanese (aka most fakers). Typically, subtitles are written in Kanji (with furigana above it, if necessary for a younger audience) or katakana. The main reason the Let's Go logos were real was because somebody had seen them and tried to draw them from memory. Nobody is going to have an actual screenshot (not even a photo) from an actual presentation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But given the thing I said about Masuda and his GO screenshot, the names King and Queen could still be real, yeah. I hope we get the official announcement during the Pokémon Day celebrations. It would be most fitting to do it at this time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverly Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Considering how Sun and Moon was leaked in a similar fashion, I’m leaning towards real. On top of that, there’s also been whispers that the region is based around the UK which would go right in line with the names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perkilator Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 With the supposed titles being [****] and [*****], a unique concept I thought of is—and hear me out—both Nidoran genders being your starter for either version; an unlikely but still cool way I think Game Freak can justify this is giving Nidoking and Nidoqueen Mega Evolutions.

Erren Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I don't mind the title of the eighth generation, so long as the game is good and we get our gen 4 remake. Funny how it worked with Gen 6, waited for a year to release ORAS. Maybe we'll get the same thing with Diamond and Pearl (with Platinum somehow being written into it. Maybe a post game) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightchao42 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Ah, this is the time leading up to a new game announcement when rumors start popping up like crazy. I don't easily believe any of them, but I wouldn't be surprised if the games were called that, and we should be getting an announcement soon either way. That being said, I think Infrared and Ultraviolet would be pretty cool names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming these leaks are real, what kind of Pokémon could be based off the UK, and what kind of legendaries could be based off royalty?

ZeManaphy Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) Not a fan of the titles. I feel obliged to pick King because of the Title and I’m a guy. Edited February 27, 2019 by ZeManaphy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perkilator Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 Aaaand they’re officially fake. The official titles are Sword and Shield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
