Pokemon Scarlet Violet leaks Fuecoco evolution

Content surrounding Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet has leaked once again, this time revealing the evolution for Fuecoco, new creatures, and more.

The source for today’s leaks appear to originate from Twitter account Presidentlilna1. This person appears to have secured an early copy of Pokemon Violet – perhaps from a retailer that sold the game ahead of its debut later in the month.

Those interested in seeing the new wave of leaked images can find them below.

Pokemon Scarlet Violet Gimmighoul

Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet have just revealed Gimmighoul as a brand new Pokemon. This follows the recent “chest” teaser site and Pokemon GO datamine leak.

Gimmighoul actually has two forms: Chest Form and Roaming Form. With the former, it’s known as the Coin Chest Pokemon, has the Ghost type, comes in at 1′ in terms of height, weighs 11 pounds, and the has the Rattled Ability. The Pokemon Company hasn’t delved into stat specifics for the Roaming Form just yet.

Bayonetta 3 development

The developers of Bayonetta 3 have opened up about the making of the game, and have discussed why the project took so long to wrap up.

PlatinumGames supervising director Hideki Kamiya, producer Yuji Nakao, director Yusuke Miyata, and Nintendo producer Makoto Okazaki spoke about this in a recent issue of Famitsu. The two indicated that things didn’t exactly go according to plan, but this was more due to the amount of content the team wanted to add. Nakao said it was never about being stuck.

Below is our translation of the interview excerpt:

Pokemon leak number 1080

Pokemon GO dataminers have uncovered what appears to be a brand new Pokemon. The creature has never been seen before, and there’s been no word on it officially thus far from The Pokemon Company.

Twitter account poke_miners came through with the news today. According to the fan page, the Pokemon was added with a file named “pmMystery”. It’s referred to as pm1080, which is assumed to be Pokemon number 1080. Right now it only has associated 3D assets, so there’s nothing in 2D form yet.
