Posted on 5 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
The leaks are still going strong from the recent Game Freak hack, and fans have now found quite a bit of cut content from Pokemon Sun and Moon.

The leak also reveals a scrapped Fire-type regional Pikachu/Raichu evolution, but no further details are available.
