The kalos megas looked nothing like what were described, delphox would sit on its broom not stand on it. Greninja would be upside down during animations but normally it would remain the same

Mega dragonite and skarmory and scolipede were my favourites.
I chose Emboar it sucked I didnt like its mega evolution.

No one seemed to talk about goodra, theres a hard battle against it near the end. Zygarde looked alot different than described it has giant ultimate weapon flower when it mega evolves and its face has some xerneas antlers mixed with yveltals clouds.

Diantha does return but you dont battle her you only do PR videos. There is a sidequest for a special form of Porygon. Its not a mega or regional form but it can corrupt trainer's cellphones sometimes throughout the story. You can evolve it into porygon-z, which is electric/dark. Its almost like a virus, but it was created, so its not a normal regional form.

The post game lets you catch xerneas and yveltal and mewtwo can mega evolve. There is a trainer who says she is related to zinnia but does nothing.

>they could make a custom app and swap the icon
Sure, but they'd have to either splice footage or make an app that plays video. And going to home would show the video UI for a second if an official player of any type, like YouTube.

What role does Eternal Floetee have and can you obtain it or one?
Does Paxton or Harmony appear if you don't pick them as your character?
Can you describe in more detail what Mega Delphox and Greninja look like as far as physical changes go like if Delphox gets a witch hat or Greninja gets a mask or ash greninja features?
How difficult is the new battle system compared to the agile style/strong style from the first legends?
Does the game encourage battling over pokedex filling?
Where do you get the Kalos starters? Syncamore?

You're going to have to show something that isn't easily made. Scrolling credits on a static background doesn't convince anybody. OG Switches have been hacked for years, and anyone can easily put a video on the system to play.

If you are being genuine, you will understand how we would need something more concrete to believe you. (And if you are being legit, you're likely fucked anyway just for this small clip of the credits)

Alot of questions. Enough x and y characters show up to make it feel like somewhat of a sequel but its a shame no gym leaders show up other than Viola and her sister. Its pretty hard i would honestly say its the hardest game so far, ive blacked out about 7 times. Yes you obtain eternal floette right before the credits role. Kalos starters are found in the wild. Sycamore still gives you the kanto starters but in the post game this time. Clay makes a cameo and he mentions he has a granddaughter somewhere

This.

No one, and I mean literally no one is getting the game until around 2 weeks before release. That's just how it's been with every Pokemon game. That's how it's been with every Nintendo game. That's just how it's been with pretty much the entire history of video games. That's how it will be now.

Anyone claiming to have got the game early or it having leaked and/or posting pics of cartridge, title, credits or whatever in July, August or September is faking it. You can choose to wait or be a naive idiot believing what simply is not real.

You're welcome.

Agreed. The whole production and wholesale delivery chain are all far too intelligent to risk a leak (and lose guaranteed revenue from repeat business) and likely monitor each stage of the process to ensure nothing like this happens. Once shit gets sent out to shops in prep for launch, it's the shops' responsibility and that's when the game starts leaking, either through employees being idiots and selling it early or doing what people I knew 18 years ago did and robbing copies from the stockroom and sending them out into the wild that way..

Actually, with an October release date it's probably gone gold recently. Physical copies would need the initial batch produced this/next month, put on boats mid/late August, arrive in ports and get processed late September/early October and trucked to major retailer distribution centers so it can get sent out to individual stores by mid October. It's possible they've switched to air shipments to avoid the ports after all the logistical mayhem of the past 5 years, in which case you can move the timeline up about 3 weeks and go gold late July, but even by air you'd want a safe buffer for a major launch given the cargo capacity and price difference of shipping by air vs sea.

The leak is fake but logistics are real. Going gold a month prior to launch is for games only releasing in one region or online. Simultaneous global launch of physical games requires global supply of pre-orders and first month's sales ready to go all at once.

Except for the small issue of the claim of air freighting shiot anywhere. Air shipping is the most expensive from of freight, ergo they're NOT shilling out a world's worth of games for launch by plane.
And if the dumb little cunt's wrong on THAT, whaty fucking else is the little cumstain wrong on? Stop trying to pretend you know how the world works, the fact (You) also missed the air freight siren screams you haven't a fucking monkey's either.

Because it's about as likely as JFK rising from his grave and telling the world who killed him, you stupid cunt of a child. In case you missed it, they have a Switch 2 upgrade pack to add to the thing, meaning they almost certainly did not "send the game gold" and suddenly accept warehousing costs of a game not releasing for a full year, when they knew they'd have to include a fucking upgrade patch to it for the Switch 2 (it's counter-intuitive and ultimately more costly to print one version, then after a year print a second version when both versions are being released simultaneously). But again, it sounds like you're a terminally online retard child, who thinks the world works how she wants it to.

>they have a Switch 2 upgrade pack to add to the thing
The upgrade packs would be produced alongside everything else for the switch 2 edition which is releasing on October 16th along with the Switch 1 version of the game. If anything that means they need more time for production than if it was only coming out on one or the other.
>meaning they almost certainly did not "send the game gold" and suddenly accept warehousing costs of a game not releasing for a full year
October 16th is not anywhere close to a year away. Where did you even get that idea? It's the same code base and assets and everything else either forked for Switch 2 or with a different build profile to swap hardware specific code at compile, they're not making two separate versions completely independently and as a close partner of Nintendo they absolutely were planning this to be on both from the beginning.

Look dude, if you really wanna pick a fight fine. Sources and math incoming.

Nintendo plays its cards close to its chest so unfortunately I don't have all their specific info, but Microsoft does make their disc production info public! It's not a perfect equivalent, but it is a real world example that'll get us in the ball park.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/gaming/gdk/docs/features/common/packaging/creating-discs
Test discs are the "pre-gold" copies used for approval between all parties before going to mass production, "gold" is when it all gets approved once that's been tested.
>Final product replication can take up to four weeks. However, this can vary due to seasonality. Submit your disc request at least six weeks prior to the retail release date for your title.
So 4 weeks of production for a retail batch + another 2 weeks prior to release for request processing, transport to stores, buffer for delays, etc. However that 2 weeks is based on the production being done in the region it will be sold in.
>After the disc contents are defined, choose one or more ARs for retail disc manufacturing. This is usually based on the region in which the final product is distributed.

Nintendo Produces all Switch games, for every region, in Japan. Pick any of your physical copies off the shelf - they ALL say made in Japan. International shipping times must be factored in on top of local distribution.

https://www.shiphub.co/shipping-from-japan/
goes over some specific carrier/rout options, with links to more region specific info on sea freight from Japan. On average:
>EU 38-48 days
>Australia 24-40 days
>USA West Coast 15-20 days
>East Coast 25-30 days
>Canada around 20 to 40 days
>The days shown are for sea transit only. You should add additional time for road transport from and to ports.

This will vary a lot by how/when exactly the games were trucked from factory to port, loaded onto the ship, when the ship is fully loaded to leave, unloaded at next port, and the games sent out to stores. let's assume the containers take just as long to load as they do to unload since it's pretty much the same process in reverse, but they get sent directly from the factory to the container at port continuously so once it's ready it leaves immediately.

https://www.interlogusa.com/answers/blog/portfacilities-from-port-to-pickup-the-process/
>there are instances such as in the case of LA/Long Beach port congestion where upwards of 2 dozen ocean vessels sat at the port

full container loads:
>After 1-3 business days (usually), the container will be unloaded and brought to the destination port’s container yard
>it will be labeled as “ready for pickup.” At that point, you or your freight forwarder can send in a trucker

>FCL cargo usually takes a max of 3 days after arrival to be ready for pickup, whereas LCL cargo could potentially take up to 8 days
Even though video games being small, light products suggests it would be LCL, since FCL is faster we'll do those numbers too.

Nintendo themselves have distribution centers where they process their inventory for retailers, in the USA they have one in Northbend, Washington:

If they want to be really efficient but give up some control they could allocate shipments to individual retailers directly from the ports to their regional warehouses and let them handle distribution on their own.

Most stores receive a weekly truck from their regional warehouse and will have someone working truck all day until it's all at least unpacked and organized so it's ready to be put on shelves, but big events like a AAA launch or other chain-wide promotion will typically arrive an extra week early as a buffer depending on the size of the retailer and their logistic strategy. Obviously how long distribution takes is gonna vary with shipment processing and transit times, but you can get a truck from North Bend to Orlando, Florida in about 2 days, 3 for drivers to have 2 8-hour rests for safety with smaller breaks as needed plus potential traffic, though they'd probably choose a closer port/distribution center if driving time was a bigger factor.

So 28 days to produce, 1-8 days to to get on the boat, 38-48 days for the longest trip, 1-8 days to get off the boat, 1-3 days to get to distribution centers or regional warehouses, 1-3 days to get sorted onto trucks, 1-7 days to get to individual stores with a 7 day buffer, 1 day for stores to unpack their shipment. Game launches October 16th. For those first shipments to be on time, not counting weekends when they may be stuck at port, the game would have to go gold 11 weeks prior to launch assuming everything goes as smoothly as possible - LATE JULY. But there's no guarantee everything will be done in the shortest possible time-frame, it could take up to 16 weeks - needing to go gold LATE JUNE.

The real answer is likely somewhere inbetween as this is a bit of a simplification of the process, we don't have all of Nintendo's specific details and business agreements with their logistics partners, and more and more of their game sales are digital where they have significantly more wiggle room, but they are still doing a physical launch. To push it any later than late July they'd have to go air freight, which I FULLY AGREE is unlikely thus why I didn't pull those numbers, but it isn't impossible.

Nobody who isn't heavily invested in making sure the game DOESN'T leak has it yet. It's somewhere between final approval and mass production, don't expect the rom until last week of September/first week of October. At most someone has seen some marketing materials early, if the teraleaker did get anything on plza they have no intention of sharing until after lauch and it'd a feature implementation/beta build with very little final content at most.

The part where you're assuming they finished and released the S1 version, you dense monkey bastard. Let alone fucking Teraleak sending them a "Fuck You" card for christmas. These bastards are fucking MILITANT on not letting ANY cunt who hasn't the right level of access to the games in production access to the fucking things until THEY say. And given they had fuck-all of actual marketing (along with a video with a cheap-as-chips voiceover, with the same basic blurb) released on Pokémon day, they sure as fuck hadn't started localising it properly, they gave more for both BDSP and L: A. I stopped reading when you read M$, you're right it's apples and cowpats comparing them. Microsoft aren't a studio, they're a publisher. I know more about Japan - world language translation windows than I do western and more about Game Freak than you, so desperate to imply they and Nintendo ate warehousing for a year for pallets upon pallets of a game not slated for launch until october this year despite not allowing access to any particular game until a particular window, set at about 8 months prior to launch since WW simultaneous releases.

If you have a source that says otherwise then post it, if you can't support your points then you have no credibility.

Your own logic doesn't track with itself. Game Freak develops the game, Nintendo publishes, and the minimum lead times don't budge much when you're dealing with a simultaneous physical global release from a single point of manufacturing. The teraleak didn't do shit to their timeline, they had a PR person say "yeah, we got breached" in a fluff letter and the devs kept doing actual dev work. Whether there was a delay or not on the Switch 2 they simply would have kept working on the game until Nintendo said "we're going public on this day, so you can announce the switch 2 version after that and we can discuss the game's release window." A delay on the hardware would just mean the game is then ahead of schedule if they were meeting their development milestones on time up to that point. They wouldn't send anything off for finalization until they had a clearer idea of when it could release, instead they'd use that extra time for bug fixes and polishing or, if it was a lot of extra time, add more stuff they initially scrapped for time. All regions have the language select now so localization would already be done before the games go to print along with final asset implementation. I showed you real world industry numbers and an estimation of final production timelines based on the information publicly available. The game either already went gold or will in the next couple weeks to hit the release date while development shifts to patches, unless you actually think they've been sitting on their asses this whole time and the game's been finished for a year, which is not the case otherwise they'd have a lot more to show for it now if it was already perfect that long ago. The game is at least mostly finished and we just have to wait a couple months for some minimum wage retail stocker to snag a copy for internet clout once they get to stores.

What, about Nintendo not eating warehousing? The WiiU's failure (Switch box was fucking TINY in comparison, so if it failed, they'd have less a warehousing space taken up by unsold stock). Not reading the rest of your shit, Pokémon runs on NDA's and timed embargoes (Gen 8's leakers being sacked or fined heavily). Meaning they didn't send the game out for production yet, because it's not fucking time to release it for printing yet. Eat a 12 gauge and pull the fucking trigger.

Again, source? So far all you've said is "It's not like that because I said so."

If the cartridges are currently in production or about to go to production then they aren't gonna be sitting in a warehouse for months, they'd be sitting in a warehouse for a few weeks at most while the batch gets finished before being sent off to sit on a boat for about a month to a month and a half, and then get sent to stores with enough of a buffer that they don't have to worry about any typical delays because missing that date for any reason short of an unpredictable catastrophe is not an option. Unless they started printing Switch games in Europe and North America, or they're going to air freight them, it's not physically possible to hit a mid October release date with any significant inventory if they don't start pressing retail copies within that timeline. NDA or no Nintendo and Game Freak are still bound by the reality of global logistics.

>N-nuuuu, i mustest be righted
Common sense kid. The world does not work how children like you assume and Pokémon is a beast unto itself. Meaning LESS chance it does what Microsoft does - partly because they're not a conglomerate built off OS development and cloud based web-services that dabbled in the vidya market, they're a bunch of amateur obsessives, who've curated the property through fad to phenomenon while Microsoft made regular fuckups with their OS' before even getting the idea of producing a games console. And frankly, they keep anyone but who ABSOLUTELY needs to know about the contents of a game out of the loop until their traditional embargoes begin expiring. Stamping your feet harder doesn't change shit.
