I'm kind of obsessed with the placeholder Juliana model they were using for SV

she says 👀

[ingo-ingoing-ingone]

Y'know I just can't stop thinking about it.

Why are both the submas hair reveals technically non canon?

Ingos concept art with the buzz cut/receding hairline in the art book is just that: concept art. It's obvious because there's a "panel" where he's being discovered by the Pearl Clan, face down in the snow. But in the actual game he says the Pearl Clan found him, standing and looking around in confusion. His character model also has a sort of tiny cut off bun in the back under his collar, when taking his game model apart.

The image from the teraleak is one we know well... except for the tiny haircut thumbnail. Why was the image of Ingo with a buzz cut redacted??? Literally what could be the reason? The rest of the sheet is out there, and has been for a long time!

Do the devs just REALLY want to keep people guessing what's under those hats? Why have these images never transcended concept art, and in the original submas art case, never saw the light of day until now??

Aside from the devs wanting it to be a mystery (which is a hysterical potential reason), maybe they just... realize how silly the boys look? Like the hair triangles are not canonically sideburns, how many people draw them. They're sideBANGS; they're not attached to their face on any of their 3D models! And even in their 2D art they don't look like they grow from their face.

Maybe the devs were like "the world cannot know these guys have face framing mullets." Because a buzz cut except for the long side bangs is pretty insane 😂

But in all seriousness I am intensely curious now. Why is their hair all noncanon. Whose choice was that!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE ALMOST GOT A FLYING TYPE EEVEELUTION IN GEN 7 BUT IT GOT SCRAPPED BECAUSE IT LOOKED TOO SIMILAR TO A FAKEMON?!

Submas nation y'all remember how at least a decade ago, there was a private screening (?) where they show a reference sheet for Ingo and Emmet? The one with a small art of them without their hat on, the one where visitors weren't allowed to take pictures so someone had to recreate it from memory

Well that sheet is out now :) for the public view

[weirdmageddon]

this is the biggest pokemon leak weve ever seen. holy fuck.

a gamefreak employee got phished in a dev portal. i feel really really bad for them. but at the same time so much of this is amazing. i love cut content. i love seeing the process of making stuff. so i have mixed feelings, but i’m going to set that aside.

ive been here for multiple beta leaks since the spaceworld gold demo in 2018 and the diamond and pearl beta leak somewhere after that. this is by far the most intensive leak of beta pokemon stuff ive seen.

source code and beta builds for gens 3, 4, 5, and later 6 and 7. it is MASSIVE.

there is so fucking much and you can see coverage here

edit: if you dont have twitter (elon is a shitbag i dont blame you) you can go on r/PokeLeaks

this document from junichi masuda made in 2005 is the highlight for me, the symbol used in the hgss arceus event. it seems the legendaries are like a greek pantheon of deities

but we got more

internal development and discussion. universe creation lore, character profiles (e.g. skyla is a sexy latina pilot inspired by jennifer lopez and isabella fontana), never before seen designs, seen-before designs (latiken had a fucking sprite!), concept art, gen 3 had some darker looking discarded dev art. WHAT IS THIS IT RULES

here are compiled beta sprites from gens 3, 4, 5

[jadeazora]

I go up to take a nap for a bit, and we get a huge drop of concept art once more from the Teraleak! So here's Lysandre, Xerosic, the Scientists, and AZ!

Edit: WE GOT A HEIGHT CHART!

Essentia!

And the paintings from Sycamore's office:

Edit, and more location-based Kalos concept art:

submas english name meanings!

"I chose a name with in and go because the Japanese word "Nobori" refers to a train heading to Tokyo. Ingo is an unusual German name. The pronunciation is Ingo. "

"Since the Japanese word "Kudari" refers to a train leaving Tokyo, we choose the name Emmet, which means "outgo." The pronunciation is emit. "

Pokemon fans be like "I wish we had darker games" then can't handle basic folktale tropes and concepts
