OK, here's where this thread is standing, with the unlocking:

Given the widespread backlash and complaining about certain aspects of the work (i.e. Dexit), we wanted to communicate very clearly what we are not willing to put up with: prolonged, circular complaining (or wonking).

Of course, with a controversial subject that has a large impact on the gameplay, Dexit is in one of those areas where there it may be on-topic to discuss it, but the nature of that discussion can wildly vary. As has been said elsewhere, we ix-nayed discussion of Dexit entirely because it never seemed to happen without devolving into that kind of complaining.

However, we're willing to unlock the thread after this 3-day cooldown period because the Pokemon General thread has been stable enough. And -

Can I discuss Dexit?

Yes. But if there is prolonged wonking on it, the thread just becomes an echo chamber of complaints and we do not like that. No one likes that. The same rules as ever apply. Be a constructive, healthy space. Have conversations about what you like, and what you don't like, but the thread should not get locked into a series of bitter complaints.

If you have questions or concerns about mod implementation or action, we have a thread for that here.

Alright? Thank you all for waiting this out. I hope we're all good now.

As someone who unfortunately lnow a thing or two about cyberstalkers, it would probably be a clingy ex, someone who wants to "be" her, or the otakuist otaku you've ever seen.

That is a hell of a leak, and it includes some things that were just revealed, giving it some amount of legitimacy. Not a fan of the idea that Bede steals your starter after you've chosen it and you have to get one of the others from Hop, that's just cruel to young fans who don't know about it beforehand.

So from what I can gather, Rose and Leon have nothing to do with this Eternatus thing? Is this the first true instance of the game having two completely separate baddies?

That leak can't be real. The list of gym leaders doesn't have Bea and Allister.

It may include things recently revealed but it also completely omits Bea and Allister as Gym Leaders.

So...real basic failure, on the “leaker’s” part.

Edit: Damn! Ninja’d while I was looking up Bea’s name.

That gym list doesn't mention the Fighting and Ghost version exclusive gyms that have been revealed, making that count against it being real (or at least that part of it). (And, yes, other people said the same thing as me while I was typing it)

Also, the idea that the queen of the region is a Gym Leader (and not even the last one), while the Champion is a football star is laughable. It’s not worth reading the rest of it, because it is clearly fake.

How'd they know about the evil team a month early, though?

That information has been elsewhere, I believe.

Regardless of how they got that, they failed on Gym Leaders that we’re already announced at the time.

The accurate stuff is probably taken from other, more reliable leaks.
